Help us get Global 1940 rules coded

Hi,

I work on script-assistance for Axis and Allies Global 1940 on Tabletop Simulator.

What it does so far:

detect and count units and unit chips on the battle strip Provide “Spawn Dice” button for each side Count hits when throwing dice Provide (+) and (-) Buttons and a number input as hover menu for units to change the stack below it. This is done automatically according to the entered number of units.

Hope you like it!

The background:
I have written a PC computer program that calculates the total IPC income for each nation as you update the PC map with the territories controlled to match that on your board game. (see link - 1942 2nd ed)
link to post In1942
There currently is no accounting for the loss of a nation’s capital in this code. (I figured people would know they could not collect that income.)

The question:
Would I correctly follow the board game rules if I have the nation’s IPC income turn to zero when the capital territory falls to an opposing nation? If the capital territory was liberated by the original owner nation or a friendly nation, it would again show the total IPC income of that nation. (program already keep track of liberated territory return IPC to the original owner)

To be clear, this program just adds up a nation’s IPC total income from territories to determine income for that turn. It does not keep track of cash held by any nation, player.

OK. Let me spell this out simply. I have asked twice before to no avail.

Can someone walk me through the steps to getting ABattlemap on my computer, and getting it ready to play a Global 1940 game by forum?

And my guess is this might be somewhere already that I haven’t found. If that is true, please link me to the page with ABattlemap available for download.

Do a search on this site, there are a few threads describing where and how to install.  Google it if you have to.  When I installed it last time it came with all the maps, no need to install other packages.  When it first runs it defaults to the original second edition map, select new map should present you with dozens of maps/games.

yeah, good question ! I know some forums who could have great use of such feature.

It would be very nice if the InfoView and Toolbar were edited to change the powers to their Alpha3 turn orders.

d’oh you’re right.  that might take some work

Not as muich as you would think.  Copy/paste the pieces as necessary (done this before) and alter the text (also done this before.)

Thanks, maxo
No, unzipping is no problem.  One of them can’t even get the download going.

The other one, we finally got it working, but I’m not sure what combination of maneuvers finally got the job done.

No, they’re not close by, otherwise I would do it for them myself.

Hi Tekkyy,

I too would like to know how to use the rsek.exe and the csek.exe described in the Abattlemap help files… they don’t give much details even after translating it into english.

Does anyone know how to do this?
