  In August, I topped up my $15 bronze with another $45, hoping to upgrade to gold. I have emailed and subsequently sent a DM to Dave, I assume he has been busy.

  I have already informed @djensen via another line. I am sure he will resolve this.

  The best and most functional versions of core Axis and Allies games for TripleA will be cataloged below. This work is primarily from @VictoryFirst but more may be on the way from other authors as well as VictoryFirst.

  This thread will act as a living document and updated continually as more fixes to the various TripleA modules are completed.

  Here is a youtube video that explains more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkgP1O3wQAs

  Module installation instructions: You have to move the unzipped map to the “downloadedMaps” folder in the folder where you installed Triplea. Reboot the game and look for the title in the selection screen.

  @Midnight_Reaper thanks for finding and posting that.
  I won’t be buying it though.

  I don’t plan to buy it, either. I just wanted to let people know about it. What everyone does with it is up to them.

  Ex and current military, members of academia, civil engineers and businessman, as well as tradesman, historians, university students and just overall avid board gamers. :)

  Anyway, point being, this thing has been crunched out hard with over a thousand games played :)

  So, I hope you give it a shot when you get the chance. Of course you have the Battle of Britain coming up too :)

  I used a different, bid-dependent strategy after seeing it in another game recently which was an Italian transport in the sea zone West of Taranto, and a marine in Northern Italy. This requires a bid of 11 and to be all used on Italy, so it is imperative for Germany to do two things, and probably recommended to do a third:

  Take Normandy & Paris to force Vichy, and land a fighter to contribute to the scramble in case of a Taranto attack.

  Land several planes in Northern Italy. Preferably all that can reach after being used to attack 113/114. These are needed to land in Alexandria if Italy is allowed to move into it in force, and they cannot do so from W Germany.

  Naval purchase as Germany on the first round. This puts a lot of stress on UK to defend London from a Sealion buy round 2, most players will buy 4-6 infantry and a fighter for London (assuming average outcomes in 113/114)

  If the Italian fleet at Taranto is not attacked, the UK has a couple options. However some are made significantly less appealing due to the bid.

  First, they are unlikely to try and hold Gibraltar using a Gibastion setup, as the extra transport and marine make the odds for Algeria very favorable and Malta can simultaneously be secured.

  Second, fleet units left above Egypt (101?) are still vulnerable because of the German Air Force in Northern & Southern Italy, assuming Italy can capture Alexandria. This makes the most likely choice to move the carrier into the Red Sea.

  Maximizing your early advantage here is imperative, with 3 transports you can move some troops to Tobruk, capture Malta and still take Greece. Often times there will be a destroyer blocking the option to take Gibraltar on turn 1, but if not you can capture GiB and Greece for the +5 NO. Either way, you have 3 transports + the ground units in Alexandria that will be able to attack Egypt. If the UK has managed to reinforce enough to forestall a full-force capture, you can unload units in Syria to actovate the units in Iraq, or reinforce in Alexandria and take Crete with the marine to get Germany their +3 NO starting round 3.

  After that it is usually a choice between holding Egypt or Iraq. I would say Egypt is best as long as you can get a German unit there for the +5, as that is net 7 for the Axis. Iraq is good if Germany is already doing very well, as it concentrates a little more income into Italy’s pocket to continue contesting the Med/Middle East while Germany focuses on the Bear. And troops in Iraq should b able to start trading UK in NW Persia for another +2.

  @Krieghund Thank you for the swift reply. I don’t think that thought crossed my opponent’s mind (we usually play Global, so the idea of attacking Germany…and leaving oneself open to counterattack…is not on the radar).

  Zombies is a different game.

  @Rescue55-joe I believe the “10 IPCs for each country” that you are referring to are actually the National Control Markers, which are used to track both conquered territories and national production levels. As barnee pointed out, IPCs are not physically provided, and the Rulebook instructs us to track them on paper, but any proxy (such as Monopoly money) will do. See page 7 of the Rulebook for details on both National Control Markers and IPCs.

  In a nutshell, the National Production Track is used to chart your “income” using a National Control Marker. and every turn the “money” goes into your “bank account”, which is represented by IPCs, where it can be spent on new units (or saved for later).

  I hope this helps.

  @Krieghund Thanks! (For completeness, I should have been more clear in that Germany controlled Persia at the beginning of its turn in this example. i.e. there was/is a legal landing zone for the fighter)

  @SuperbattleshipYamato

  November 21, 1944, is the 80th anniversary of the sinking of the Japanese battleship Kongo.

  Built originally in Britain as Japan’s first battlecruiser before World War 1, the ship was incredibly powerful for its time and would be a forerunner for Britain’s best battlecruiser during the war, the Tiger (unless you count the Renowns, I’ll let you decide for yourself).

  The ship’s design was successful and three more ships, the Hiei, the Kirshima, and the Haruna, would be built (2 in Japan’s shipyards with British aid).

  Between the wars the class was upgraded to become fast battleships, with increased armor. Despite this, they were still generally considered somewhat inferior to the US Navy Standard series of battleships in both armor and firepower (though significantly faster). The speed of these ships, faster than any American battleship and stronger than any cruiser, spurred the US to build the fast, powerful Iowa class battleships.

  During the Pacific War, thanks to their speed, the Kongo class was used more than any other Japanese battleship, escorting Japanese aircraft carriers in the Battle of the Midway.

  The Kongo and the Haruna, led by Admiral Takeo Kurita, would launch a successful nighttime bombardment attack against Henderson Field during the Guadacanal Campaign, temporarily putting it out of service and allowing Japanese supplies to pass through unmolested. This success would lead to a similar attempt by Hiei and Kirshima that would cause a series of nighttime actions known as the Naval Battle of Guadacanal, where both were sunk.

  The Kongo and Haruna would participate in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, with both escaping successfully.

  About a month later, while transiting the Formosa strait with other members of the First Fleet (including Yamato and Nagato) from Brunei to Kure following an air raid on the former, Kongo and the escorting destroyer Urakaze were sunk by the US submarine Sealion. Before the ship’s evacuation could be completed, its forward magazine exploded, killing most of its crew.

  Classic advice! Nothing says safety like a day of drinking and fireworks 😂 Stay safe out there! Fireworks are definitely a hot topic with the Holidays—Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year—coming up. I’ll be in France for Christmas and New Year, and I’ve heard New Year’s celebrations there are amazing with fireworks. Found this tourism statistics interesting too, https://gowithguide.com/blog/tourism-in-france-statistics-2023-all-you-need-to-know-5275. So excited!
