Description:
G40 Alt-Universe is for those who love Axis and Allies, but are looking for a new strategic experience. The war is the same, but occurs in an alternate universe where the Earth’s land formation happened differently. It’s a return to the early days of pouring over the map and developing strategies in an unfamiliar setting.

Contact @Contango about getting the map file as it’s too large to host on the forum.

General:
G40 Alt-Universe is designed to be played with the components and basic ruleset of Axis and Allies Europe 1940 Second Edition and Axis and Allies Pacific 1940 Second Edition.

For in-person play, if you already own Europe and Pacific 1940, all you need is a printed map file. If you’re interested in getting the map file, please private-message me or use the email mentioned in the YouTube video.

If you want to try the game electronically, I’ve also created a TripleA game file, available at the link mentioned above.

Note that the game is in a beta phase and might still be subject to minor changes, however, no map changes are anticipated and would be done only as a last resort in order to fix an exploit.

@surfer said in Using Game The TripleA Game Stats:

One I would like to see is have the same info but presented on a bar/line chart that shows the trend over time easily. Perhaps it would have “zoom” / “expand” buttons that allowed you to change the time scale to show fewer (zoom) or more (expand) turns at one time.

I gather there’s already been some work on a similar idea that’s in the Beta features…

Try going: Game -> Engine Settings -> Testing -> Show Beta Features = True

Then restart Triplea and go: Game -> Game Statistics

I’m looking to entice (bribe?) some players into giving this map a try on TripleA for purposes of playtesting feedback.

I’m going to be doing a draw for a 72”x33” physical map printed on banner vinyl to be shipped to the winner.

To be entered into the draw, complete a TripleA game of G40 Alt-Universe and submit feedback on game balance and any potential exploits found. All participating players will be entered per below:

1 draw entry – Complete a solo TripleA game where you play both sides and send me the TripleA file.
2 draw entries – Complete a Play by Email game with one or more opponents and copy me on game emails.
3 draw entries – Complete a forum game in the “Play Boardgames” section of axisandallies.org with one or more opponents

Other Details:

• Multiple entries from the same player are welcome
• A full game is considered at least 8 rounds

@Gargantua

You didn’t get a notification from the game engine when you took all of the pro-Allied territories did you? I don’t see it in the history.

It looks like my trigger for this is set to fire after combat move, and since it happened on non-combat it didn’t work. I’ll try to fix that if/when I do another update to the map file.

We’re hosting a G40 event around the time of the upcoming Remembrance Day/Veterans Day and we’re looking to have multiple tables of G40 going.

Rumor has it that @Young-Grasshopper may be attending, so don’t miss your opportunity to trash talk him in person.

Short Details:
Date: Saturday November 9, 2019
Location: Waterloo/Kitchener Ontario, Canada
Game Type: Global 1940, Out of Box Rules with Grasshopper’s combined UK Pacific and ANZAC for balance.

Venue address and further details will be sent to those who sign up. Please PM me if you’re interested or have questions.

@surfer

Good to know. I hadn’t really been using it, I just remembered reading something about it from the TripleA forum. At least it’s in the works though.

Thanks to everyone who participated, the draw is now complete. If anyone missed the draw but still wants to give the map a try, I’d still be happy to hear about your feedback.

@kilroynothere

Hey Fellas, just passing through and I noticed you were able to move a UK Pacific unit into China before UK Pacific and Japan were at war. This shouldn’t be allowed. It looks like there may be a bug in the game code.

I’ll make a note of it and hopefully fix it if I do an update in the future.

@Marshmallow-of-War

I don’t think it’s written anywhere but it’s fairly simple so I can explain here.

• All UK units on the Pacific board will be replaced with grey ANZAC units (or another colour, so long as they are unique from other nations)
• UK Pacific and ANZAC starting cash is combined, as is future income
• UK Pacific and ANZAC now operate as one nation and play in the original ANZAC position of the turn order
• The capital of the new UK Pacific Nation is Calcutta
• UK Pacific units function independently of UK Europe units, do not attack together, do not move simultaneously and don’t transfer ownership when crossing between maps
• We will eliminate the Malaya national objective for ANZAC.
• The “maintenance of the empire” UK objective and “Strategic outer defense perimeter” ANZAC objective will remain available for the combined nation.

It’s conceptually the same as how Canadian units and income are joined into one nation with UK Europe, so hopefully fairly straight forward.

So far we have about 12 players confirmed and waiting on confirmation from some others, so hoping to have 3-4 games going.

Hope you can make it, please let me know as soon as you can confirm if you’ll be there.

Hey @Grinchveld

I’m also in Kitchener/Waterloo area. I mostly play G40 Global but am open to others.

Send me a private message and we can try to set something up.

@iron_stitch @TheVeteran

This game is enjoyably chaotic.

@theveteran @Iron_Stitch

Good game fellas. I think this is actually the first game I’ve seen with a turn 2 declaration of war against France. (usually it’s Turn 1) So I was interested to see how that played out.

@piloto1969

I’ve contacted you privately to work out getting it to you.

For anyone else interested in the map, you’ll need to get in touch with me as it’s too large to store on the forum.

@iron_stitch

Due to the way the programming works, the side getting the IPCs and the side losing them are happening in 2 distinct parts, but only part is working.

The message gets triggered with Germany getting the IPCs. That side of the transaction is OK, but the second side of the transaction where France looses the IPCs is broken.

I can see on the Players tab they are still sitting at 32.

@TheVeteran @Iron_Stitch

Hey Fellas,

I noticed Germany took F5. There’s an issue I know about with that factory where it doesn’t take money away from France when it’s plundered. I plan to fix it on my next TripleA update.

For now, to be fair, you should deduct $3 from France via edit mode. The rest of the initial factories should work properly.

Updated original post to add section for strategy videos.

@theveteran

Appreciate the offer, but I think I’ll pass for now. I’m kind of maxed out on upcoming games already. Hoping to start a YouTube game in the not too distant future and want to make sure I can focus on that to keep it moving.

@theveteran

Cool, I’ll keep an eye out for when it gets going.

@theveteran

Is this game for real? Or was it just an example for your video?

If it’s a real game then I’ll have to keep an eye on it.

@sergio

Here is a link to several of the rulebooks for the standard Axis and Allies games:

I’m not familiar with which game AARHE is, so if it’s not in that list could you spell out what AARHE means or show a picture and someone might be able to help.
