Tech Units Not Changing in Global 40

@VictoryFirst

Thanks for clarifying! I did not notice that. Yeah, a different background would definitely help.

@Panther thank you Panther. Was already thinking I need to redo move, and have also gotten similar advice from Simon. I very much appreciate this board and the folks here.

@Grintch All the related graphics are inside the “assets” folder of your TripleA installation.
Additionally there are or may be graphics inside the map.zip-files of the map you are interested in.
In case there aren’t any graphics in the map.zip-files, those in the assets folder of TripleA are used.

So you usually would change the unit-design in the map folder or add your own units there.
Those files are png-files, so you can customize them with any image manipulation software.

For deeper information I would recommend that you open a thread here:

There are active map makers who might help you.

Good luck :slightly_smiling_face:

@simon33:

Rockets for Revised from different AA Guns are not allowed to target the same factory as a one which has already been selected. Why is this? I can’t see it in the rules. Doesn’t look like it was done accidentally though.

v5 doesn’t have tech in the rulebook but it works the same as revised.

Surely not because of the annoying bug which allows you to see the damage before selecting the second rocket’s target?

The rule has been part of the official FAQ that had been published by Wizards/Avalon:

@Revised:

Pgs. 20-21, Rocket Strikes: Delete the sentence “Choose an industrial complex within 3 spaces
and roll one die for each gun; however, each gun can inflict no more IPC loss than the territory’s
income value.” Replace it with “In each territory, one antiaircraft gun may attack an industrial
complex within 3 spaces, though each industrial complex may be attacked by only one rocket
launcher in a turn. The maximum loss each rocket can inflict is the target territory’s income value.”

Same for Anniversary Edition by the way:

Page 12, Breakthrough Chart 1 - Rockets: The following sentence should be added: “In each turn,
only one AA gun per territory may launch rockets, and each industrial complex can be attacked by only
one rocket launcher.”

Global 1940 2nd Edition, version 3.7 is released

download it now!

changes from 3.6 to 3.7:

1. fixed japanese national objective so that if germany/italy takes india and/or the other power centers in asia, that japan gets her money

2. allowed rockets to gang up on infrastructure

3. Added some things to the game notes about what is NOT covered by the engine (and therefore, what you need to manually keep in mind):

Rules the engine does not do, but you must follow:

Do not allow blitzing or movement through Friendly Neutrals. Air units may not land in or move through Friendly Neutrals, including the same turn they are captured. Friendly Neutrals can not be ‘captured’ with an AA Gun, only by land units with an attack power. Air units may not move through Unfriendly Neutrals unless they are attacking them. Air units may not move through a Neutral territory IF that neutral territory had been attacked on some previous turn by some power (because technically that neutral stops being neutral at that point, and joins the other side). If UK Pacific captures Japan, the money goes to UK Pacific, even if UK Pacific’s capital is occupied. Do not allow USA movement to end in any Sea Zone that touches a Japanese owned territory (Sea Zones 6, 17, 19, 20, 22, 32, 33, 34, 36, and 37). You must place all units you purchased if you are able to, or as many as you can. Any units not placed get refunded to you (triplea instead carries them over to the next turn). The victory conditions must be held for a full continuous round after they are achieved (so for example if Italy takes Egypt as the 8th European VC, then the Axis must hold 8 VCs continuously until Italy’s next turn).

Lastly, I wish to introduce 2 things that everyone may not know already exist within the TripleA engine:

1. Edit Move Units
To “Edit Move”, you must first be in some movement phase.  
Then turn on Edit Mode.
On the right side you see some tabs: “Action” tab, and “Edit” tab, and other tabs.
When you turn on edit mode, you switch automatically to the ‘edit tab’.  However you can still perform ‘actions’ during edit mode, and edit mode changes those actions to reflect that you are in edit mode.
So now click on the “Action” tab, and then move the units just like you would normally.
Because you are in edit mode, the movement validation is turned off, so this allows you to basically move units where-ever you want, including moving enemy units, or even making an enemy attack, or loading transports, etc.

2. Game Comments (aka: a way to tell what fighter is on what carrier, among other things)
Click “View” menu, then select “Show Comment Log”
From there, you can type out and add comments to the game.  The comments will go into the History Panel, and be permanently added to the game save.
Things you could possibly use this for: telling your opponent which fighter is on which carrier, when you have a mixed-nation fleet.

Global 1940 2nd Edition, version 3.8 is released

download it now!

changes from 3.7 to 3.8:

triplea does not yet support global 1940

every week we get closer, but you can’t imagine the number of things that need to be coded, so it is probably going to be at least another month

in the mean time, there is also aabattlemap and this here forum

Nevermind, I figured it out.
