Play Axis and Allies Global 1940 2nd ed. Online via Tabletop Simulator (fully scripted)!

Does anyone know any A&A-like games that are free and require no download?

@Panther

I came up with this before I used TripleA. TripleA is still vastly superior, but I wanted to share this anyway. It’s still somewhat useful for playing house rules that you cannot otherwise edit easily on TripleA.

As I said, you send the emails to yourself to keep track of it.

As for why do I not do Google Docs instead, I just didn’t do it and didn’t think of it.

I only used the Notes app on the Ipad, which doesn’t really work, and emails.

So perhaps Microsoft Word might be better.

It is very complicated. I do not recommend playing Global 1940 using this. Anything less complicated is manageable, but best to stick with the more simple side.

Thanks for moving it.

Hi, A&A fans!

I released a new big update for my Tabletop Simulator version of Axis and Allies 1940.
The last bit of manual labour is now scripted, the occupation of territories! You can right-click territories to change the occupier. The IPC strip is adjusted automatically. Also, you can right-click capital ships to damage them, convoy sea zones to mark an active convoy disruption and many more things from other updates since I last posted here! More scripting will follow, like the recognition of national objectives, income calculation and building cost tracking. Please check it out, if you like!

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!

@Wonder_Angel:

Fantastic, thanks very much!

Is there a rating system or a ladder of some kind?

Yes, there is. Check out

@Fatespinner:

I wonder how difficult it would be to convert TripleA into a HTML5 format or for GameMaker Studio. From there is should be fairly easy to generate an async. multiplayer game that is scalable and convertable to different devices. People could also host it on there personal website.

Concerning HTML5/WebApp I remember somehow related discussions on Github, see:

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/284

You raise a good question about getting permission from WOTC.  I assumed since there are two other apps that do similar things that adding a third to iTunes would be no problem.  I didn’t ask for WOTC’s permission first, however, I just sent off an email to WOTC’s press handler to see if there is any issue so we’ll see what comes back.  I’d hate to have to pull it with all the work I put into it, but if asked to do so, I will.  If that happens I imagine the other two apps will have to be pulled as well.

You should wait a bit. Don’t rush, because Mr. Harris said that he want make a new update (maybe the final version) in like 4-6 weeks. From I can understand, alpha 3 is even more provisional than latter versions. No much point updating the module

About the charts, the other time I simply copy pasted the letters from the old files  :-) And when I do the module for the last version, I’ll have not much to change. The list would be:

Unit costs as you pointed Some NO boxes here and there (I still prefer the NO boxes near to the zone they are related, good old AA50 style) Setup in fact is the thing I hate more. One has to redo the whole setup to prevent glitches. Not difficult, be requires much work, and double check I’ll check the optionals chart, just in case some of them are obsolete (probably the NAP and the merry mongolians)

As for the mongolians, not much work to do. If they stay as they are, simply I should delete the NAP box (the mongolians substitute the pact), and when they are activated, Japan’s simply must put an ‘allied friendly’ marker.
