I thoght that was maybe the issue. I think you made them the same as what they printed though
Maybe it needs to be adjusted. Give it a white background ?
Thanks for clarifying! I did not notice that. Yeah, a different background would definitely help.
Since the dice server down I been working on the 1939 Scenario
lol
@The-Captain I took a few liberties with the setup. It doesn’t affect game play but since triplea can do it, I thought it’d be more visually appealing :)
Slovakia and Romainia start as Pro Axis. You move one dude in first Impulse to Slovak and then into ROM 2nd Impulse.
Correct movement is Player enforced for a lot of it but it’s just like playing on the real board :)
Poland is Pro Allies so it can fight without declaring War on the True Neutrals.
E POL and Baltic STs are True Neutral. They each get a dude for visual defense and the russians are moved to Belarus that were there.
They auto change to Soviet after SSR 1939 turn with the correct setup taking place. Same with Bessarabia except I put his extra dudes in W UKR and he starts out as Pro Axis.
Karelia and Vyborg start out Pro Axis with Pro Axis units. Norway and Denmark the same for Pro Allies.
Holland I made Dutch and removed 1 UK Inf and replaced with Dutch. He and it will auto change to UK if not conquered.
Have 3 U-boats in 112 and 2 in 113. They auto move after NCM towards there starting positions. It’s actually kinda cool to watch them deploy lol
At least I think so :)
Everything will end up as you intended. Will need to do some edit depending on where the Surface ships of the Kriegsmarine end up and then just Player enforce not moving units you shouldn’t.
What do you think about the U-boat setup ? Should I start with 2 in 112 and 3 in 113 ? Surely the Kriegsmarine had a few U-boats in the Atlantic before Poland was attacked.
Anyway, not a biggie. just want to make it look as cool as possible :)
It looks great,
As long as the G39 and G40 Set Up are correct, your changes to colors and unit placements are nice adjustments to the G39 scenario.
@The-Captain
:)
Yes everything will auto change when needed so it will be exact with your 39 mod.
I just started Congo Belgian lol. He will turn UK at end of UK turn :)

So the first post has the how to install triplea instructions. It’s dated but mostly still pertinent. Here’s the instructions
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/17147/gargantua-s-k-i-s-s-triplea-instructions/30
Once you get that done you will need to download a prerelease. We don’t want the most recent as they are still being fine tuned.
I use this one 2.7+14962 https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.14962
so it takes you here
You want the Windows 64 I don’t think 32 works still but it might. I’m just guessing you on windows 64 bit
This explains how to have multiple tripleas installed https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/3724/how-to-have-triplea-2-5-2-6-installed-at-the-same-time
you can also overwrite it and just have one when you install the pre but might as well have both :)
and then back to the top of the page. It shows you how to download manually but it’s easier to just download from triplea.
Latest Game Version is 2.54
So fire up triplea you should get this might look a little different on windows but same info
Note top left shows Engine Version 2.714962 that tells us we have the prerelease mentioned above. Go to Download Maps “Global 40 Expansion UHD Boxes”
Install
Note it usually takes 3 times to go to 100% and then back to 0% and then 100 again. It was worked on and maybe the newer pre has fixed it but that’s how it does it for me.
So wait until it just stops on 100%
Close takes you back to Start Screen. Then Select Game 
Then Start Local Game
Play
The first notification will tell which Game Version you have. 2.54 is latest
To have only certain “Game Options” selected after selecting the game but before starting it go to “Game Options”
The ones on the left are mostly just triplea stuff. You can see Type XXI U-boats bottom of 5th row. If you don’t want to use them, simply deselect.
Note after a game starts you can save and before you restart you can deselect or select an Option. It won’t kick in until Germany’s next turn though. Also it will still show up in the TimeTable.
If deselected before you first start the game it won’t show up. I’ll try and fix it for if you forget after Game Start to turn something off like I always do but then we usually have all options on :) Trout and I have started not using the XXI U-boats.
The Help tab top left has the in game “Game Notes” that explains how triplea implements the HRE rules.
you’ll want to drag the window down so it’s larger
unfortunately you have to close the window if you go somewhere else it’ll remain open or shrink it.
Didn’t used to be like that but i bitched for years about the change and was ignored as usual.
Anyway, you’ll want to read those. They’re mostly up to date but I’m still clarifying certain things and some of it has become dated. It’s mostly accurate though.
So if you can get triplea installed, which I believe you have in the past or perhaps that was someone else’s machine, you’ll be pretty much good to go.
I’ll show what my folders look like after it’s installed next
Edit
So most likely if you have any trouble it will be with the install. If we have to, we’ll ask Panther to help but I think you should be OK.
Just hit yes on all the prompts and then follow the Dogs instructions for having multiple tripleas installed. He’s on windows so should be easier to follow.
This is what my Triplea looks like after it’s installed. I have a Big T TripleA and a small t triplea.
The Big T is where the releases go and some other stuff
Edit
Missed a shot. This is the Big T folder
So you can see 14962 is in there and then I have another release 15330 which is in a different folder. That’s basically how you have more than one.
The small t folder is the one you’ll be using. That’s where the downloadedMaps and savedGames are
savedGames you’ll be using a lot. You’ll be adding and deleting to them as your games progress.
The hilighted one is our current multi with Alex Panzer and Trout :)
All the final saves are in the Game Threads but I have them all saved in a separate folder as well.
If I ever get real bored or find the time I’ll update Victory’s spreadsheet thingy with all the results :) Have to figure out how to do it first :)
Oh yea I probably should put this up top but you will want a game specific email for the die rolls and to register with the Marti dice Server. You should use either protonmail or GMX as they both work.
Idk if gmail or the yahoos are working now or not.
Well there should be enough there to confuse you anyway :) Let us know if you get stuck and will get it sorted from there.
Great - I’ll follow this
Well yea it was meant for you when you asked how to set triplea up :)
Let me know if you or any of the Danish Axis and Allies Members need assitance in setting it up.
Panther and @VictoryFirst, if he’s around :) can assist too.
Lets get some Games Going !
@The-Captain I am trying to use your kamikaze rules and suggest that we get to ignore scrambles and target transports - otherwise the kamikaze seems useless in play
What you think?
Thanks
Hi Johnny,
Do you refer to rule where a Japanese Air unit can use up all its spaces and target an Allied War ship ?
Yes. But in TripleA it’s a special red plane
The OOB basic game mechanisms where Japanese Kamikaze cannot attack Transport units also aplies to the G40 HRE Kamikaze rule.
Why:
Historically the Kamikaze units were ordered to target Capital Warships, since these units were High Value Targets.
With the Capital Warships destroyed - Transport units are almost defenseless - and can easily be eliminated.
When a Japanese Strategic Plan includes the use of Kamikaze, it is important that this Strategic Plan also includes a plan for destroying enemy Transport units - to hinder enemy Island Jumping by using the same Transport units again.
Note:
US Transport units in the Pacific almost never return to their homeland in order to be loaded again. Distance is simply to great.
For the US Transport units it is a one-way ticket.
This makes it even more crucial for the Japanese to destroy the US Transport units.
Important:
Naval Warfare in Axis & Allies should be fought with two primary goals:
Why:
Transport units is the only way for any Nation to capture valuable islands - and increase the IPC income level on a massive scale.
By destroying the enemy Transport units - you deny the enemy option to seriously increase the IPC level.
Attack the enemy at the weakest points (Transport units) - and avoid any major Naval Battle unless you can easily win and hinder the enemy Navy from threatening again.
That’s why those JPN DDs so brutal. And they can Banzai once a turn too :)
@The-Captain HOW is this done? I am told that in this game the transports are always taken as last casualties - hence ALL sea battles must be won fully - there is no way to snipe the valuable transports.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks
well yea you gotta dust any support/Escort ships that are with them first:)
Not all Trprts are gonna be with the Main Fleet. Many minor attacks will take place where the Trprts are alone or lightly defended, just to take a valuable Island that will provide bonus income or deny it to the Enemy.
Those are the vulnerable ones and should be sunk wherever you can as the Captain stated.
@barnee That is my point. In my game with @Trout my kamikaze caught his unsuspecting ALL ALONE transport. and one of those super big ones. So I call that a score! But are you guys telling me that my plane cannot target that sole transport? Especially considering that make or breaks his attack on my island.
yes OOB rules do not allow Kamikazes to target Trprts
@barnee wow that makes no sense to me. Not from a playability issue. These games are awesome and sometimes talking about “realism” gets in and that can be fun… but playability is the main issue to me. Are we having fun and all playing with the same set of rules and such.
The idea that kamikaze planes are added to a game, or not, is fine either way. IT IS FUN right?
But to state that such a feature is restricted to NOT target a single sole unescorted transport just makes no sense to me. But that is my opinion. THANKS MATE
