Battlemap module for 1941 edition?

@toblerone77: GTO would be awesome if it had the full line of A&A games. If even AA50 or Spring42SE were there I’d be willing to subscribe. Larry really should consider a smooth-running, bug free and “officially” endorsed online version of A&A in all it’s incarnations. The problem is they are not allowed to even run a kickstarter for any A&A games. WOTC both advertises GTO then cokkblokks them from adding A&A games. It really is unfortunate and makes no sense, they are allowed to code it, and host it. But cannot run a kickstarter through it. Therefore they cannot afford to actually make it happen lol. Id like to meet some of the dikkhead rtards over at WOTC or whoever blocks GTO from adding A&A games. I still play alot of spring42 on GTO though !

Has anyone created a Battlemap module for the 1942 2nd edition?

Darn, was hopin it was already done!  Hey, we gotta be first out the door, we don’t want that icky TripleA game showing us up!  We’re Abattlemap!  We’re the best!  (wink) Let me know if you need anything other than me sitting down to deal with the 2nd edition rules, to help out.  I need to print them out and read them - one day.

You should wait a bit. Don’t rush, because Mr. Harris said that he want make a new update (maybe the final version) in like 4-6 weeks. From I can understand, alpha 3 is even more provisional than latter versions. No much point updating the module About the charts, the other time I simply copy pasted the letters from the old files  And when I do the module for the last version, I’ll have not much to change. The list would be: Unit costs as you pointed Some NO boxes here and there (I still prefer the NO boxes near to the zone they are related, good old AA50 style) Setup in fact is the thing I hate more. One has to redo the whole setup to prevent glitches. Not difficult, be requires much work, and double check I’ll check the optionals chart, just in case some of them are obsolete (probably the NAP and the merry mongolians) As for the mongolians, not much work to do. If they stay as they are, simply I should delete the NAP box (the mongolians substitute the pact), and when they are activated, Japan’s simply must put an ‘allied friendly’ marker.

@P@nther: @Foxman: Reinstalled ABattlemap because it doesn’t allow me to use: “List Units” on the View bar. But it still doesn’t work. Do I need this anyway? What does it do? It’s been a long, long time, but as far as I remember you should manually delete the ABattlemap.ini. It will be recreated on the next program start. You should be fine then. Ok thx P@nther

@ogrebait: The “big pieces” bmp file I was using for AAR and AA50 doesn’t seem to be compatible with the AAP ABattlemap file (the country flags/unit become scrambled). Is there a “Big Pieces” file for AAP. Thanks in advance! Here you go… I made it for you! Just save the image into your AAP.gim folder

Hi Folks! I’m new to this forum and have a good friend whom I play against when we hook up at each other’s homes. I always use the Allies because my buddy likes the “fun” of using the Axis.  I never lose playing the Allies however because of a couple of sound strategies that take the luck out of A&A. (unless Germany goes hell-bent for Karelia and manages to keep it for a turn with enough to beat off a counter-attack from Russia in next turn). My take on the allies is this…build an Indian factory to stall the Japanese and keep the Japs trying to get rid of this factory rather than going straight after Russia…  More importantly…the US can decide the game by leaving the Pacific alone and throwing everything they have into getting troops into Africa/Norway and even France to help take pressure off the Russians, deny the Germans the free 11 IPC’s in Africa ASAP and allow the UK to also send land units to the continent via Norway. To even the game up I always give the Axis “super subs and fighters” plus not allow Russia to attack for 1st turn.  Even then…unless I get unlucky with early dice rolls the sheer weight of US IPC’s allows me to wipe out Germany at which point Japan is toast.  I suppose I COULD limit the Russians from attacking the 1st TWO turns but don’t want to give up TOO much as the Allies from the beginning?  Any other suggestions as to how the Axis can win?

Has anyone got any good strategies for the 1941 android app playing the 1942 standard edition? The map and setup is very similar to 1942.2 but there are some subtle differences which are proving tricky for the allies - e.g. 4 Chinese territories, East Indies and SE Asia in same zone.
