Indeed we can THE WHIP. And do!

Look in the Software Board just below this one. A stickied thread entititled “Gargantua’s KISS Instructions” tells you everything you need to know.

You need to edit the respective game.xml to be found in the subfolder “games” of your TripleA map.
Best idea would be to study the xml of existing FFA-mods and compare what is different to “regular” game.xml.

Take as an example Napoleonic Empires 5 Player FFA:

here you see
<playerlist><player name="France" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><player name="UnitedKingdom" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><player name="AustrianEmpire" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><player name="OttomanEmpire" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><player name="Russia" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><alliance player="UnitedKingdom" alliance="UnitedKingdom"><alliance player="Russia" alliance="Russia"><alliance player="AustrianEmpire" alliance="AustrianEmpire"><alliance player="France" alliance="France"><alliance player="OttomanEmpire" alliance="OttomanEmpire"></alliance></alliance></alliance></alliance></alliance></player></player></player></player></player></playerlist>
There may be other parts of the xml affected.

HTH :-)

@talonz:

Having not played 39/40, are you looking for more room for pieces on the map, or more territories on the map to play within?

Both, but predominantly more territories. Again, maybe experience would prove me wrong and (a little bit) bigger is not better, but I would like to try it. Without having played, I like the territory layout of G39 better, but prefer the aesthetics of G40.

@talonz:

I wonder how much printing this out will cost….

YoungGrasshopper was printing his modified G40 for about $150. I don’t recall if he was resizing it, but it was at least $150 for him. He also lives in Canada, so there might be a very slight price difference. I am sure your local print shop could give an estimate if you asked.

@talonz:

Next step will be finalizing my rules and deciding on what pieces to use.

Seems like the map is most important and the rest will fall in place or evolve as time goes on. Pieces and rules can always be added or subtracted. Spaces on the gameboard; not so much.

Hey,

I agree with you guys revised is the way to go; however, I had one buddy who just didn’t grasp the concepts until he started DDay. So I would have to say it depends on the person also.

The only thing I can think of that made DDay easy to start with is all the idiot cards tell you what to do in order. But for the most part I stick with revised

Well better is a relative term. I don’t think any game is “better” than any other. More a matter of preference.

Battle of the Bulge is not out yet and they have just begun the process of telling folks how the game is going to work. You are on your own on that one till November. Check out the forum board for the game on this site. There are some links to articles and pics.
D-Day is good if you only have a couple of hours and mostly want something to do while drinking some beers and hanging out.
Europe to me is the weakest and it has been awhile since I’ve played a game. It isn’t a bad game it is just the one I like the least.
Pacific I really like. I like the convoy centers and routes rules. I like the harbor and air bases rules and the victory points aspect. I like the way the board looks. Marines and it is fun when the US to spend 70 IPCs a turn. I think it is my favorite but I can’t say it is “best.”
Revised is what we seem to play the most. It is most like second edition with lots of the things that don’t work for lack of a better way to say it fixed. It can drag out a bit too long for me sometimes but it is really balanced and fair.

That is my take on your question. Frankly, I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. But they all have a different tenor or feel to them.

I think Mr. Ghoul is correct. Furthermore it has come up that one might even exceed the number of stacks as there are units - some kind of addendum, i believe.
