Total World War Tournament Edition is a large map with relatively complex rules.

To avoid confusion, here is a brief introduction and the rules for this tournament round:

TWW does not come with TripleA, therefore you must download it.
You can download it from inside triplea, or you can download it manually here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tripleamaps/files/maps/Total_World_War.zip

TWW comes with 2 games within it: “Tournament Edition” (version 2.7.2) and “December 1941” (version 2.7.3)
Obviously we are going to use ONLY the Tournament Edition, version 2.7.2 for this round.

TripleA 1.7.0.1 recently came out, but it is a “beta” release and contains some bugs (including a serious one that will impact TWW). 
Therefore, for this round everyone MUST use version 1.6.1.4 of TripleA, or if you wait 2-4 weeks you can use the future 1.7.0.3 that I haven’t released yet.  Anyway, just don’t use 1.7.0.1 for the tournament game.

Default rules:
If you have an agreement with your opponent, you can override the below rules.
Politics should be off.
NoNotifications, ShareTechnology, DeclareWarOnly, BonusTechnology, and NoTechnology should all NOT be used

After you download TWW, there is a PDF manual inside of the zip folder.
I highly recommend you copy and paste it to your desktop and then read it.
Alternatively, you can download it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tripleamaps/files/rules/TotalWorldWarManual.pdf

TripleA 1.7.0.3 Stable has come out,

I recommend using it to start any new games:
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=31221.0

Santa, look above, round 6 matchups already posted and you are included.

2 clarifications for everyone about TWW:

Now that TripleA 1.7.0.3 is out, I hope everyone can use this for the last round.  Also, please update your TWW map to whatever is the latest version, and then use the “tournament” version of TWW.

Secondly, a clarification about the 4 “neutral” nations:
You should be playing with politics off for the tourney, therefore brazil, spain, turkey, and sweden, will never be a part of the game at all. 
With politics off, you can not declare war on them, and you can not change them to be allied to you. 
Since they will never be part of the game, it doesn’t matter what happens during their turn: you could just skip through their turn completely.

IF you are playing with politics on, then since that is something you agreed with your opponent then you should agree also on how they are handled.  You could have the AI do their thing in a local mode, or you could have them just buy max infantry every turn then if they get attacked the opposing power (to the attacker) controls them.  Up to you.

wass can you post the gamesave please?

Ok, here is your monthly update:

Round 5 is almost done.  Only a few players haven’t yet finished, and some of those I suspect are dropping due to going MIA.

Secondly, I wish to re-iterate that ROUND 6 (Total World War) is an OPTIONAL round for everyone (except for Admetus and Amjdemen, who are using it as a tie breaker for 1st place title).

Therefore, in order to claim your prize, you only need to finish the first 5 rounds.

I will give 1 more month of time to finish all your round 5 (and previous rounds) games.  If no significant progress by then I will either list you as a dropper, or rule on the game.

If you have finished all of the first 5 rounds, please private message me your email address (the email address you used to register on HBG’s website), and I will collect them in order to forward to coachofmany so that he can give out the prizes once the tournament is finished.

I do really hope that everyone will play the round 6 map, or at least give it a try.
Even after this tournament is over, I will continue to update the results so long as people are still playing their tourney games.

I’m very sorry MIR,

I had asked in my last post in this thread for everyone who wants their prize to send me via PM, their Email address (specifically the same email address they originally used to register on Historical Boardgames Website).

You were the only one who emailed me, and since I was also waiting for games to finish I figured I’d just wait for more emails to come in too.

In the end some games never finished (including the “final”), and I never got more emails, and I kinda just forgot about it.

I’ll forward your info to HBG right away, and hopefully you will get your prize shortly.

If anyone else who finished all 5 rounds of the tournament would like their prize, please PM me your email address.

I’m also setting a deadline on the end of this tournament of December 31.  Please send me your emails before then, if you want your prize.  Please finish any games by then.

a reminder: you only need to have finished 5 of the 6 rounds to be able to get a prize

please pm me your email accounts before the end of this year, preferably sooner
