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

www.abattlemap.com

Malta and Malaya, Quebec and Queensland, & Nova Scotia and New Britain are pairs of territories both given the same abbreviation on the map…

Also, the ANZAC NOs should be adjusted so it reads “ANZAC is at war with Japan:” before the NO details to match the format of the others; otherwise, it can be misconstrued that ANZACs second NO can be achieved while not at war.

What do I need to download before I get this?

Note that I have NOTHING related to Axis and Allies on my comp.

(I.E., how do I get the capabilities to play by forum?)

Please help!

Download and install this:http://www.mediafire.com/file/w05zwkxji5w/ABattleMap_Installer.exe

Some info on how to use Abattlemap can be found at http://abattlemap.com/

Then download and unzip this: http://www.axisandallies.us/GA3.zip into the Abattlemap folder (default C:\Program Files\Abattlemap)

Thank you! Unfortunately mediafire won’t let me download from my home computer  :x :x :x :x :? :? :? :? so I’m trying from school, where downloading .zip files are difficult to work with.

Are any of these mods compliant with Alpha+3.9?

Funcioneta’s is still showing me OOB, and I could modify the setups and stuff but it would take work.

If there is something compliant with Alpha+3.9 (and I’d assume there is because I’ve seen +3.9 games), where is it and how can I get it?

Thanks!

Sorry for so many questions, but I’ve put the .rar file into my ABattlemap folder and now still cannot open it.

How do I do this?

If you don’t have the option to extract when you right click the .rar then you need to get a program capable of extracting .rar (maybe use a trial version of winrar or winzip if you can’t find a suitable free program).

When you extract the .rar there should be a folder named GA3.gim
If you place the GA3.gim folder in the Abattlemap folder, then you will have the option to open a new map of Alpha 3 v1 when you run Abattlemap (under New).

Try a program called 7-Zip. rar files are just another type of zip file and need to be unzipped. http://www.7-zip.org/

Alpha 3.9? Didn’t know it was called 3.9… went over to http://www.harrisgamedesign.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=6149 and did find that there is a new update: 02/11/12 Setup revised. Germany, France and UK modified.
Soviet NO change: I’ll have to get a new update to the module soon… anyone that already understands the changes and would like to tell me what needs changed… feel free to instruct me :)

OK. So that means I need to redownload and replace the .rar file?

Am currently trying to unzip the .rar from my home comp (the 4th different comp I’ve used in this process  :roll:)

OK. So, I have downloaded a free .rar un-.rar-er, un-.rar’ed the file, and opened ABattlemap. It. Doesn’t. Work. First time I tried, it wouldn’t let me scroll (how do you scroll again? Just want to make sure I’m not stupid), and the second time when I selecteda unit, wherever I moved my mouse it would place those units. And not so a territory ends up with 1000 fighters, just so that there are fighters all over the screen.

I will try again, butif this doesn’t work can someone SEND me (PM me for email) their un-.rar’ed TMTM Global 1940 module? Thanks. PS make it Alpha+3.9 version. Thanks.

OK. Now the map doesn’t open even when I click the mod. Everything else does.

Will try again later but could someone send me this file later maybe?

OK. More troubles for me!

The module worked the first time, but after that the map hasn’t opened (but the toolbars have). Anyone know what the problem is or what to try?

Can someone please PM me for my email? I’d like just simply the map file as it is the one malfunctioning/being a pain in the butt.

I’m having trouble finding the 3.9 module (if it exists), would someone care to link it to me?  Thanks!

There is no 3.9 module. TMTM said that it was simply too much work to move a couple ships. Just change the “start” file…

The Alpha Project is DONE- proof:

So maybe you guys can update the NOs and setup on the A3map???

I don’t have the time to comb through it all and know what needs removed or added… I can adjust the module… if you give me a list of things you want changed on the module.

Ok great,

Us players can make the setup file- actually we all already have one.  As for the changes in the module- they are pretty simple- this is confirmed to be the 2nd edition to be out this fall- via Larry.  So here they are:

National Objective changes

1. USSR- Communism NatObj now has changed to:

“3 IPCs for each original German, Italian, or pro-Axis neutral territory that the Soviet Union controls.”

Which means that these territories are NOT included anymore:

Eire, Crete, Turkey, Sweden, Greece, Yugo, Switzerland, Spain, or Portugal as they are NOT ORIGINAL Pro-Axis territories.  These spaces need to be negated now.

2. USA- invasion of France Nat Obj now reads:

“5 IPCs for each turn that the US has at least one land unit in the territory of France.”

NOT Normandy as before and it is every turn- NOT a one time payment as before.

That is all- FINALLY.  Let us know please when you finished updating the mod with these changes.  Thanks. :-D

Darn, was hopin it was already done!  Hey, we gotta be first out the door, we don’t want that icky TripleA game showing us up!  We’re Abattlemap!  We’re the best!  (wink)

Let me know if you need anything other than me sitting down to deal with the 2nd edition rules, to help out.  I need to print them out and read them - one day.
