Sgt. Wonko's & TMTM's 1940 Global Module for Abattlemap

That sounds good!

I’m new to abattlemap.  I downloaded the 1940 global module and it looks great.  the only problem i have is that the program always crashes when i’m moving items on the map.  is there a resolution to this?

Thanks

First of all, it looks great, so thumbs up for good work…
however, when i try to dl it, mediafire just says invalid or missing file…

is possible you could put it up again?

many thx

TMTM:  You forgot the following territories on the Russian NO:  Ireland (Ire), Sicily (Sic), Sardinia (Sar).

Just thought I would bring it to your attention.  (yes, Russia can get 66 IPC from conquered lands in Europe, 5 from SZ 125 for a total of 71 IPCs from NOs, the most of any nationality in the game!)

Great, thanks! I’m glad your checking out the module… I’ve never played Global yet hehe

AA Gun, Mechanized Infantry should also be on Manchuria.  That was almost certianly my fault as I put the setup on.

Yes, as silly as it sounds, Crete is part of the Russian NO.

+2 Infantry in Saudia Arabia
+1 Infantry in Chile
+2 AA Guns in India
+1 Transport in SZ 97
-1 Infantry in Yugoslavia

Updated map included.

Alpha 3.AAM

Starting income for Japan is wrong.  Japan starts with 26 IPC, not 30 IPC.

Fixed, uploaded.

Alpha 3.AAM

I’m guessing this hasn’t been updated to reflect the 2/11 setup changes? seems to be missing the following (listing totals, not additions, for given unit in given territory):

Germany
1 Transport, 1 Cruiser in z114 (moved from z113)

UK
1 mec in UK
1 art, 1 tank in France
2 inf, 1 aa in Scotland
1 cruiser in z111 (instead of z112)
3 aa in India

France
1 Cruiser in z110 (moved from z112)
1 art, 1 tnk in France (instead of 2 each)
2 inf in UK (instead of 1)

That’s what I see, but didn’t really check the whole thing - any others I missed?  Or did I miss the boat and someone else has already posted this?

my updated setup attached…

Alpha +3 Module for Abattlemap
http://www.axisandallies.us/GA3.zip Beta 5 - Updated 11-15-2011

Sic, Cre, Eir, Sar have been added to the Russian NO
Man - units fixed

Please let me know of any errors.

Also, why are Eir and Cre in the Russian NO?  Aren’t they pro-allies?

I just noticed that today, since I’ve started playing global again.  It would be great if it got fixed.

The Russian NO boxes are all European TRUE NEUTRALS and PRO-ALLIED but do not include the latest rule change.

It is now any pro-Axis or original German or Italian territories.  So it should not include any of the true neutrals or pro-Allied (Switzerland, Sweden, Greece, Spain, Portugal, etc), but it SHOULD include territories like Libya and Tobruk.

This is not a complete list, but you get the idea.

Russian NO’s are now for Italian and German and Pro-Axis territories, and this is not restricted to Europe.
True neutrals like Eire and Switzerland and pro-Allied like Greece and Yugoslavia do not count for the NOs.

Not a huge deal - we can manage until it gets fixed.  We can still flag them when earned, and I’ve already started using the sektor editor to at least change what it says in the popup…

Thanks!

OK, so here is a list:

Should be added:
Libya
Tobruk
Ethiopia
Italian Somaliland

Should be removed:
Eire
Sweden
Switzerland
Yugoslavia
Greece
Crete
Turkey
Spain
Portugal

I think that’s it

You’re missing an infantry in Egypt.  Also, the wrong row of French boats was used - mine has the bright ones that count on the info bar as French (very minor - but more accurate)

Crete is not marked as pro-Allied

My start-up map is attached

From comparing it to yours, I caught that the one I was using did not have Crete marked as pro-Allied, nor Eire.  It was also missing neutral armies in Saudi Arabia and Switzerland.  Thanks, Stoney.

I may try to make a new version.  Since changing some of these things will make it somewhat incompatible with older versions, might as well make all compatibility-changing improvements at once.

For example,

1. Make Nbr and Quebec adjacent
2. put in some clearer and better-looking canal/straits markers
3. make Brg more clearly not adj to z89

Can anyone clarify the following, citing an official source?:

1. is Finland adjacent to z126?
2. is Ontario adjacent to Cus?
3. Is newf adjacent to z106?
4. is col adjacent to z89
5. can someone please quote me the current rules pertaining to all straights and canals (I ave not been keeping up)?

Some aesthetic changes I hope to put in:

1. make neutrals more easily distinguishable from Italy
2. extend african country borders into sahara like they are on the physical board to accommodate house rules.
3. Label Caspian sea as a sea zone

Anything else that should be done?

Awesome!!

Can anyone clarify the following, citing an official source?:

1. is Finland adjacent to z126?

NO.  It is VERY clear from looking at my gameboard.

2. is Ontario adjacent to Cus?

I can never remember the official answer to this, and it’s very important.  Someone else will know.

3. Is newf adjacent to z106?

NO.  Only 116 - this is very clear on my gameboard.

4. is col adjacent to z89

No.  Quite clearly not on the gameboard, and I’m pretty sure I remember this being clarified by Krieghund.

4. can someone please quote me the current rules pertaining to all straights and canals (I ave not been keeping up)?

Don’t have time right now, but it’s pretty simple.
Must control Denmark to go through Danish straits.
Must control Egypt and TrJ for Suez
Must control Gibraltar
Must control Panama

One exception.  SUBS CAN go through straits of Gibraltar at all times, regardless of control of Gibraltar.

Some aesthetic changes I hope to put in:

1. make neutrals more easily distinguishable from Italy

terrific

2. extend african country borders into sahara like they are on the physical board to accommodate house rules.
3. Label Caspian sea as a sea zone

excellent

Anything else that should be done?

Thanks, Stoney!  If I think of anything later today, I’ll let you know.  Looking forward to the finished product!

Since my map had the neutrals on Saudi Arabia and Switzerland, I’m assuming it is more up-to date, so I just added the marker on Crete and the inf on Egypt.  Let me know if you had added anything else or see anything else.

I had actually noticed the french ships.  I expect this was done for convoy damage purposes, but the one near southern africa is different.  Since convoy damage is done completely differently in Alpha 3, I guess I’ll just stick with the actual french row of units.

BTW, whether or not I do this update may depend on whether or not I can get the layered image file from Sgt. Wonko.  He hasn’t been active in a year, and his mediafire link is dead.  would be a shame if that file is lost.
