Here is what you do. upload the AA rules of whatever version. then Chat Cpb or Genmini upload the rules and it will decide with brutal logic. The Battleship is priced correctly if its 20IPC and takes 2 hits and SB at 4. the only issue might be the Carrier could have different combat values, otherwise its good. Let AI solve your issue!

You could make it more manageable by doing the same as we do: see below.

@The-Captain Yes, that’s a nice setup!

**2/7/26 MA Axis & Allies G40 Game with all optional rules
Rounds 6 - endGermany - Josh S.
Russia - Mike K.
Japan - Mkgionet
USA - Pat H.
UK - Alex M.
Italy - Elliott G.Due to an oversight USSR received 10 IPC from Germany attacking them, and was able to execute Conscription in turn 6.
First:
- Germany reclaimed their original territory from USSR and the stalemate between Russia and Germany continues where they just watch each other at the border looking over a large minefield. This would continue almost until the end of the game.
- Interestingly no lend-lease was given to USSR the entire game.
- Germany didn’t have the forces to push the ground troops out of France and sink the fleet off the coast of Gibraltar. They chose to move a large number of forces into Paris and Southern France, upgrade the Southern France factory, and build 12 U-boats (4 wolf packs). They invaded Gibraltar and with good rolling could’ve taken it but instead chose to let the ground troops (2) be killed instead of sacrificing a plane.
- USSR sent troops south and into China to try and push back Japan and the Allies succeeded in reclaiming the factory in Persia.
- Instead of attacking with the troops in France, the Allies sent as many remaining troops as possible to bolster the forces they already had there. They also reinforced Gibraltar.
- Italy staged an all-out attack on Gibraltar and succeeded in taking it, while pushing deeper into Africa up to the doorstep of South Africa
- Japan expanded into Russia and reclaimed a portion of the Burma Road. Started taking over the money islands and moved most of its navy to the Philippines as they were unsure where the US navy in Hawaii was headed.
- US spent more of its money to wage war in the Pacific, attacked and succeeded in taking the Caroline Islands.
Next:
- Germany launched a massive counterattack to remove all the troops that invaded its mainland and succeeded in clearing them out. The Wolf Packs were devastating and sunk almost the entire Allied Navy except for a group of UK transports that fled to Iceland. They then took up a position just off the coast of eastern/central America.
- Persia went back and forth, with the Allies finally holding it at the end of the game.
- The fight in China continued, with Japan taking most/all of the Burma Road and then the Allies taking all or a portion back. Japan was never able to fully take China, even at the end of the game.
- US started taking massive Convoy losses of 35+ a turn.
- US moved troops into Alaska, built a navy base there, and moved part of its navy there in preparation for an attack.
- Japan counterattacked the navy sitting off the Caroline Islands and was able to defeat it. Ships were put into position to defend Japan if necessary. More islands were taken, with Japan’s income on the Economic chart going into the 80’s.
- Italy brought troops over, took Brazil, and built a factory there.
Last:
- In Round 8 the Axis noticed before Italy’s turn that we were 1 point away from achieving an Economic Victory. After discussion, Japan was overruled, and Italy refrained from taking more territory so that the Axis couldn’t win this round because Germany wanted to finally make a massive invasion along the Russian border and he wanted to see how that worked out.
- US made some fairly ineffective attacks vs. Japan.
- In Round 9 Germany launched their attack, and you can see the result of where things stood at the end of the round after that attack.
- US built some ships in the Atlantic to try and form some kind of defense against the Wolf Packs
- Japan took more territory and was very close to capturing China - just one far corner territory couldn’t be captured.
- Although the Axis clearly had the upper hand the Allies were a bit surprised that we easily achieved an economic victory at the end of Round 9.
Woot! Woot! See pictures of what the board looked like at the end of the game.

Great game - and game report.
Remember:
Note 5:
Only the original owner of the Industrial Complex can upgrade to Heavy Industry Production.See more information in the rulebook pg. 27.

@The-Captain ooohhhh we forgot about that!
I’m not sure how much of a difference 2 less u-boats would have made but we definitely need to remember that!

Nice :)
Yea the spreadsheet for triplea has 34 Games so far and they avg 10 -11 rds so 1945 basically. If we throw out the outliers I’d say another year 13-15 rds but triplea allows one to play longer as no space or time constraint.
I think if/when a league starts play will speed up a little as there is no need to play to the end. However the takeover happens mid late game and usually prolongs our games at least another 3 rds.
We are all basically new/limited playing the mod though, even if we have OOB A&A experience.
At any rate, while not as user friendly as I’d like, thanks to Victory, we are recording the triplea games :)
Edit
Currently18 Axis
14 AlliesAlso two multis that haven’t been recorded yet. Looks like 1-1 with those, with one multi going to almost 1950 and the other more in line with the mean game time.
Edit
correction Multis are gonna be 2-0 Allies -
Thanks for recording them! It’s really helpful.

Global 1940, No. 21 Game Report:
Players:
Axis: Dark Knight
Allies: The CaptainEarly 1940 to Late 1942:
Germany:
Mass Production of U-Boat units to rule the Atlantic and the Med.
Gradually building up 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Waffen-SS Armies as well as 1st, 2nd and 3rd Panzer Armies - of which 75 % were fighting on the Eastern Front.Luftwaffe was highly active & effective - but suffered heavy casualties - with no reinforcements to come.
Soviet Union:
The Soviet Strategic Plan included an offensive operation in Africa.
1st Soviet Army Corps captured Iraq in Late 1941 - and pushed on towards Italian controlled territories in Eastern & Northern Africa - with reinforcements coming in by Air Transport units.Italy attacked the Soviet Union in Early 1941 - followed up by a massive German invasion in Late 1941.
Japan:
A successful and massive Japanese offensive captured all of China by Late 1941 - eliminating all Chinese resistance.In Early 1942 & Late 1942 Japan successfuly reorganized the Army, Airforce and Navy - and prepared for an attack in both the Pacific and against India.
United States:
The US Strategic Plan was to gradually put an increasing pressure on the Axis Powers - in both the Pacific and European theatres.By Late 1942, all original US territories and islands were under US control - and US troopes had landed in Northern Africa.
United Kingdom:
All moneys islands in the Pacific were under UK control - this was important due to the heavy IPC losses inflicted by German U-Boat convoy disruptions.Early 1943 to Early 1944:
The economic situation was stabil for both the Axis and the Allies.But the ecomy was gradually getting advantageous to the Allies, since the Soviets managed to halt the German invasion on the Eastern Front - and the Allies were able to defend the islands in the Pacific.
India was captures by Japan in Early 1944 - but the cost was enormous for Japan.
The Soviets launched a massive offensive on the Eastern Front - pushing back the Germans.
In Africa, the Soviets skillfully captures most Italian controlled territories - bring up the Soviet IPC level on a massive scale.Tanks, Tanks and more Tanks were mass produced in Russia - and the Germans were forced to retreat all over the Eastern Front.
Late 1944:
Germany prepared a defensive line on the Eastern Front from Novgorod in the North to Bessarabia in the South.The Soviets launched an offensive into Belarus and Archangel - with the purpose to encircle the German units in Novgorod and threaten the entire German front.
The backbone of the Soviet forces were the 1st Soviet Army Group - supported heavily by 18 independant Tank units.Soviet Tank and Infantry units attacked deep into Chinese territories - forcing the Japanese units to drive North to counter the new threat.
Allied troops heavily outnumbered the Japanese in the Pacific - with more than 3 times the number of Infantry and Fighter units defending all Pacific islands.
US and UK troops continously landed in Western Europe - and the 1st US Tank Army pushed throug the Middle East towards India.
North Africa was dominated by Soviet, French, US, UK and ANZAC units.
An Axis defeat was inevitable - and the Axis surrendered in Late 1944.
Please refer to the IPC Tracking Chart attached below.
The military situation by the beginning of Late 1944:

@barnee Good Morning. I am chiming in very late on this but confirmed that essentially the Allies lost due to the emotional health of the US Navy leadership in the Pacific and the UK Army/Air Force leadership in India being irreparably damaged. So we had a new HRE victory condition kick in which was Axis Psychological Victory because the Allied Generals and Admirals on one side of the board were sitting in their HQ rooms sucking their thumbs. Unclear if victory due to outstanding psyops is an official way to win but that’s what happened. Congratulations to Barnee for being the first to win HRE by virtue of outstanding tactical prowess which destroyed all of the Allied Strategic Plans in a way that demoralized them beyond repair 👍
This is in response to Game 5 between Barnee and myself posted in Fall 2025

Global 1940, Game Report:
Global 1940 two-player game conducted with Triple A which ended yesterday as follows"
Players:
Axis: Trout
Allies: BarneeGermany captured all French territories and was able to reduce the UK navy in the Atlantic to one destroyer, one transport, and one cruiser at the close of Early 1940. UK had a very strong counterpunch which reduced the Regia Marina to just its SZ 95 fleet in addition to destroying the Italian Army in Ethiopia and sinking the German battleship in the North Atlantic. In Asia, Japan’s Strategic Plan called for an initial focus on turning China completely yellow which did happen by the end of Fall 1941.
The very effective UK1 turn caused Germany to scrap its initial Strategic Planning and instead conduct Luftwaffe air raids in the Mediterranean, launch the Bismarck from Kiel and the Graf Zeppelin from Marseilles all in Late 1940 in order to replenish the surface assets of the Kriegsmarine and try to stave off utter early destruction of its Italian neighbor.
In the Pacific, Japan opened hostilities with the Western Allies in Fall 1941 with successful attacks on Philippines, Hong Kong, and FIC.
Meanwhile, the Soviet Union decided to re-write history and instead conducted a surprise attack on Germany in Fall 1941. The Soviet Union would remain strong all game as the Nazis never were able to push into Soviet territory past E. Poland for the entire game.
Japan captured all DEI in Fall 1942 and that extra boost to their economy would contribute to them having a strong position in Asia and the Pacific for the rest of the game although the vital Allied locations of India, Queensland, Midway/Wake/Hawaii remained in Allied hands for its entirety.
If there was a turning point in the game, it may have been the year 1943 in the Mediterranean. In the Fall of 1942, the USA made their first strong Atlantic moves with the USN moving into SZ 91 in force and capturing Morocco as well. The Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe however were able to destroy that USN Main Fleet in Spring 1943. Germany had sustained heavy losses in that battle so it took over the Italian government in Spring 1944 which allowed them to use all Axis forces to recapture Morocco that had a strong combined US/UK contingent of land and air forces and boost their income substantially.
After that, Germany focused on rebuilding the Luftwaffe and landing a large force in Syria for a planned conquest of the Middle East. However, the Allies responded in strength and the Axis were never able to advance past Syria. The war dragged on for a few years afterwards at close to a stalemate. The Axis had firm control of the Mediterranean and Japan maintained a strong position on land in Asia as well as on the high seas in the South Pacific. Meanwhile the Soviet Union remained in a strong position and the Allies never relinquished Egypt, India or the Middle East besides Syria. In addition, Japan was never strong enough to start pushing into the US Pacific territories other than Philippines and Guam.
To break the stalemate, Germany in the Spring of 1947 relocated the entire Luftwaffe to Western Germany which by that time included four jet fighters and both Heavy Bombers, withdrew forces from Syria and invested all IPC resources in transport production at Kiel. The UK was caught unprepared and a successful Sea Lion attack ended the game in the Fall of 1947.
