@djensen Thank you for all what you are doing for us.

Myself, I have spent an unusual amount of time on the forum and in front of my PCs before, during and after the migration, in order to identify problems, deal with feedback, provide information, give support, suggesting my ideas as regards content and organization, sorting threads, cleaning-up topics… just to name some activities. (Thank you to my family for their understanding )

Now, I don’t even do this as a business, I do it just for fun. As Dave with this site gives me the chance to ideally combine my hobbies: I love strategic boardgames, I am an IT-interested autodidact, I love to moderate discussions and deal with change management. Doing all of this and the feedback I sometimes get from the community is “salary” enough.

Instead, I will be happy to donate another 50 USD for my next 2019 Gold patronage in some weeks.

I don’t expect that everyone takes the same fun out of this site as I do. And I am aware that only a fraction of users even reads the topics in this category including this thread. But in case you read it, and in case you take some fun out of this website and have not donated so far - please consider doing it now!

Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and a big Thank You to all of you, who make this forum a great place to be!

If users upvote your posting by klicking the heart symbol

this adds to your “reputation”.

Additionally there appears to be a “reward system” that adds for example 200 “points” once your post count exceeds 20,000, regardless of what you have posted (including for example TripleA turn postings).

So “reputation” is the sum of all upvotes (maybe subjective quality, maybe a simple confirmation of taking notice) and quantity (mass posting reward), which - benevolently - might be interpreted as reward for long time membership.

Welcome to the forum.

Please don’t dig out and resurrect 11 years old and outdated topics addressing people that haven’t been online for more than eight years.

See our Forum Rules please.

Thank you

@jgbarg Welcome to the forum.
I have moved your topic to the Anniversary category.

As long as the Chinese territory is controlled by China, allied planes may land there.

Here are the links to the rulebooks of

“Classic” 1984 - edition:

“Classic” 1986 - 2nd edition:

For 2nd edition there are two FAQ-sheets/clarificarions that are considered to be official and complement each other:

I hit space for a paragraph break and the msg has already paper airplaned out. : )

For a paragraph break hit “Shift + Enter”.
This will start a new line/paragraph instead of immediately send out the text when only hitting “Enter”.

@Tahweh
Welcome to the forum

I have moved your topic to the appropriate category, as you posted in the category dedicated to the boardgame.

You will notice that we have a dedicated forum for the online game.

@MillCreek said in AA50 Rules Errata and Q+A:

@Panther Yes, thank you for the rule clarification. But my issue is that it doesn’t seem to make sense. I understand the rule. I just don’t like the rule.

I did not intend to teach you things you already know. I just thought the best way to explain the difference was by the rules.

@MillCreek said in AA50 Rules Errata and Q+A:

In both cases, your team has control of the territory. In one case, that control was gained after the fall of the capital. In the other case, you had control before the fall. It seems a poor rule that your team is punished for owning a territory longer. Sorry, you don’t get those IPCs or use of the factory, unless you let the enemy capture it, then recapture it.

One can well argue about liking or disliking rules, for sure.
But here we are not talking about an isolated rule but about a concept behind:

Every power can only use Industrial Complexes owned by itself and it gains only income from territories controlled by itself. And all of this only if its own capital is not in enemy’s hands.

It must hurt to lose a capital: So if SU loses Russia while controlling Karelia it cannot use the factory and it does not gain income.
Why should UK be enabled to use a Russian factory then? Why should UK gain SU’s income then? Simply because of being there? UK does not control anything there at that moment. It is still SU’s control. And “team rewards” are not part of the game. There is no concept of “team control”.

If UK captures Karelia from Germany while Russia is not in SU’s hands, it can’t liberate that territory for the SU but gains control instead. It is the concept of the game that you can use fabrics and gain income from territories you control. This is a fair reward for the efforts of conquering it back from the enemy - in case this rule was not part of the ruleset, Karela would simply be liberated for a capital-less SU. No one would receive anything for that effort, so why risk anything here?

Usually when you liberate a territory for an ally controlling his capital himself, you don’t get anything either, you just strengthen your ally - that must be reward enough.

There is nothing that bothers me, personally, with the rules here. I think the concept is pretty logical and straightforward. But as I said above liking and dislinking can and will always be subject to discussions…

@Midnight_Reaper Thank you for posting this. I have forked this posting to a separate topic.

Let me just add that it would be great if everybody noticing spam would refrain from commenting on spam postings.
Flagging the spam is totally sufficient to bring admin/moderators into action to remove and purge the dirt.

Further commenting on spam means that we unneccessarily would have to deal with those comments too, that remain somehow isolated when the spam/the spam accounts have been removed.

Thank you all for your help to keep this forum clean.

@Angel

I have forked this away from the topic it had been originally posted. As it was off topic there.
Please feel free to edit the title and some references according to your needs.

These will be your individual house rules , so they deserve their own topic.

Your input is welcome but please discuss new topics in separate topics/threads.
Thank you.

@superbattleshipyamato123

A good idea to start is to look at https://triplea-game.org/
and check out the stickied topics here in this category.
Enjoy

@malmessi74

While I doubt that TripleA will ever be able to support games similar to War Room, I remember that Nightingale Games have promoted Tabletop Simulator implementations of War Room in the past.

Topic closed in favour of
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37524/scandinavian-axis-allies-wiking-con in the Event category.

@cernel After the 2019 shut down of Larry’s website @Krieghund added some documents to the respective forum categories.

However the (eventual) loss of Larry’s forum would mean a loss of much valuable information for enthusiasts. Personally, I - for example - loved the forum-documentation of the Alpha-development that led from 1940 Global First Edition to 1940 Global Second Edition.

@aanda1 Welcome to the forum.
I have moved your topic to the correct forum category.

@aanda1 said in Can a single US dest block a whole Jap fleet in sz 25?:

In 1940 Global, can 1 US dest in sz 25 block a Jap attack in sea zone 26. If the Japs clear the dest in sz 25, can the rest of their fleet move from sz 6 into sz 26?

There is no additional combat movement after the conduct combat phase has started.

@leebear

No, by the rules (page 20):
" An aircraft carrier and a fighter must both end their moves in the same sea zone in order for the fighter to land on the carrier."

@leebear Welcome to the forum

@leebear said in A question about capital taking.:

If, for example I was playing as Russia and I lost my capital to Germany, I would hand all my IPC’s to Germany and be unable to receive income or build any troops until my capital was liberated.

That is correct.

@leebear said in A question about capital taking.:

If during this time I then somehow managed to use my remaining Russian troops to conquer Berlin (lets assume Germany had bled itself dry taking Moscow) then Germany would have to hand me its IPC’s, which I could not spend? Is that right?

Yes, you are correct, see the rulebook, page 18:

“… For example, if Germany captures Moscow while the Soviet Union’s player is holding 6 IPCs, those IPCs are immediately transferred to Germany’s player. You collect these IPCs even if your own capital is in enemy hands.”

That’s cool. Have fun
