Is there a 1940 Global Battlemap available? If so, where? I’m interested in PBEM, but my cats won’t let me leave my board unattended for long periods of time. Thank you!
This thread shouldn’t just be in A&A Global 1940. I suggest creating a main thread, and stickying a sub-thread in each forum that refers to the main thread.

Yea, different ways to play. Triplea live makes for quicker decisions. Forum is fun too. You have enough time to make your optimal move.
Idk, I’d look for people that prefer your /their play style if playing online.
Personally : ) I like to play later in the game. I think of it as a different challenge.
Could also try different Victory conditions by how many RDs it takes to win or lose.
For example, wrestling. Minor, Major or Draw. each is worth more than the other well except for draw lol
@ PainState Sorry Dizz : )
Just finished up a game a couple days ago with some friends, and it always seems to come down to a valiant last stand at Moscow followed by either an admission of defeat or (as is the case with the game we played) Italy is contained and the Allies can still hold Egypt to some extent.
That is an interesting idea that could be considered when the Germans look as though they are a couple turns away from taking Moscow. I’m not sure I’d do it just because of the amount of time to move those infantry would make it totally obvious to the Axis what you were doing. At that point you are completely giving up Russia’s IPC income to the Axis which is not very wise. The advantage to this Alamo battle is that the Axis also lose a lot of units and Germany remains licking it’s proverbial wounds for a turn of the game at least.
So while it’s interesting and I have never considered it, I’m not sure it would be worth it.
Yeah, I read that thread and decided to implement it. It’s working so far. I like having a quick reaction force from Germany to intervene in Africa if need be. I don’t have very strong forces in the former french territories and I’m about to rectify that situation. My opponent is obsessed with regaining the UK right now (has already failed twice) and sees Africa as a sideshow. I see it as a potential door to the “soft underbelly” of the Axis and am a bit disgruntled with my lack of defences in the region.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
well, if russia buys three art turn 1 and saves the rest and collects the same turn 2, that would be a turn two buy of 25+37= 62 to spend in 16 slots. which is either 9 tanks and 2 mech inf if Germany is going sea lion, or 14 art + 1 tank if Germany is going for russia. so your save idea seems to have some merit.
I want to clarify, Alpha 3 votes will convert to Alpha 2 if Larry does not give us Alpha 3 until after the tournament starts. However, he should have it out long before the tournament starts, I hope.
Signups will have a new thread once we determine if we want partners (which can be fun, but trying if your partner get the Flu or has to go out of town!) or singles and which ruleset. I won’t even start the thread until mid August at the earliest due to IRL stuff.
Partners would have to partner up before enlisting in the tournament. If there are singles that cannot find a partner, they can elect to be added to a list and I’ll pair them up, first come, first paired. Assuming we go partners not solo.
Teams would be:
Axis:
Player 1: Germany/Italy
Player 2: Japan
Allies:
Player 1: England, India, Australia, France
Player 2: Russia, America, China
No, you can only place major IC’s on originally owned territory of that power. So Germany could place is on norway since they originally owned it but no other power could since…well it’s Germany’s original territory.
