Hi,

I just install this. Can somebody tell me where I can find a tutorial to be able to play this ?
I found a lot of instruction of how to install it but so far, nothing to how to play with it.
How to start a game ?
How to buy, etc……

Thanks

Abattlemap is a gaming utility, it is not a game.  It will not roll dice, nor track your money.  You would need TripleA for those functions, but to my knowledge, they do not have Global yet.

Hi Jennifer,

OK, so, without TripleA, everything need to be controlled manually right ?(Dice, money, etc…)

Regarding Abattlemap, Is there a Tutorial explaining how to use it ?

As an example,How to remove units from the board when a battle is done ?
how to change the territorial owner ship when a battle is done ?
What is the purpuse of Sektor editor and how to use it ?

Thanks for your help
:-D

I’m almost positive there are many links on this site on how to use Abattlemap - up to and including how to make your own games with it.

Nutshell:
1)  You can move pieces individually, 5 at a time, 10 at a time or all at once by using combinations of shift, tab and shift-tab.  Play with the map to figure them out.
2)  The game will automatically track the value of your income, you just have to remember to put a “flag” down.
3)  To get new pieces you click the icon you want in the “toolpieces” and click the map.  The same shit, tab and shift-tab functions will work.

Then the only trick is figuring out what pieces are what.  Secret:  Put it on the board and look in the “info” box, it will show the IPC increase in units for that country on the board.  That’s how I figured them out back in the day.  They are also listed from lowest cost on the left to highest on the right - in order of unit type (land, air, water, facilities).  Could be wrong on some modules, but that’s pretty much standard.

Start a game:  File>New>Map

OK, that’s a start, thanks !
I will start back looking but so far for the ‘‘How to use it’’ tutorial……nada.
