Funcioneta's 1940 Global module

Funcioneta, please add a Air Base to the Philippines and the setup.

thanks func.  much appreciated

I’ve been curious about this for a while: what are the arrow units for? And all the other ones to the right of the flag you use for the income tracker of British India?

Calvin - Arrows indicate neutrality status.  Right arrow = pro-Allies.  Down arrow = pro-Axis

Func - Iraq is not spelled Irak

Kenya and Tanganyika are backwards.  Kenya is north of Tangan.

@Funcioneta:

Edit: also check Poland setup, because I’m not very sure of it

3 infantry and a tank is correct for Poland.

French Ecuatorial Africa is properly spelled “Equatorial”

I wish you wouldn’t have changed the names of some of the territories.

East Germany should be “Germany”
Hungary should be “Slovakia”
South Germany should be “Greater Southern Germany” (We’ll all abbreviate it anyway)
East France should be “France”
East Mexico should be “Southeast Mexico”

There may be more, but I’m tired of looking.
Changing names causes confusion between players who have the board, and those who don’t.

Thanks.

Back to my original question, what are all those arrows and military decorations for?

Every time I try to open the map ABattlemap crashes on me.  How do I get it to work?  Is there some newer version of ABattlemap that I need to be using?

@Funcioneta:

However, errors regarding to the name of territories and so, those need coding and, worst, need redo the setup from zero (because of how AABattlemap works). I’d like doing all at the same time

You do not need to redo the setup after changing the names of the territories.  You can cahnge the names of the territories very easily using “Sektor Editor”, tho at some point after making a lot of changes in sector editor you may want to create a new SektorInfo.txt for the sake of consistency.

I don’t have Func’s module yet (I’m not on my computer right now), but I’ll guess what you’re referring to:
the blue “military decorations” are task force markers: same idea as the task force cards in original AAP or marshalling circles in AAR boxed games (see "A Place for Your Forces")
The other red markers are for whatever you want to use them for… reminders for yourself as you plan out moves, markers to highlight something you have a question about or want to point out to another player, etc.
Does that answer your question?

Try reinstalling ABattlemap using HolKann’s installer.

Ah, that’s good to know.  I used them sometimes to mark movement points.  But a task force marker will be needed after a few rounds when there’s a huge stack on Gibraltar (for instance).

Very handy…Thanks

Thanks Stoney.  That install file actually did fix a couple of big glitches with ABattlemap that I’ve had to deal with in the past.  Unfortunately, it still crashes when I try to open Funcioneta’s map.  :cry:

another small one I noticed: ANZAC NO Marker in Nte should only give 3 IPC for ANZAC & Malaya instead of 5

before I forget: thanks for the map, great tool to work out some ideas… :-D
