This our Game Thread. I just copied and pasted from the Marco one. Sadly he didn't respond

But I will be adding how PBF works and some other stuff.

You can send me your email in chat.

It's a complex mod and not for everyone Cool you wanna give it a try. If you do like it you probably won't be playing much OOB anymore

I keep the rulebook in a window for easy access. I used to have two actually. One on the Table of Contents and the other one to scroll for the answer.

It's easiest for new players to be the Allies their first game as they are easier to play from a rule standpoint due to the large number of special German units.

We usually just toss everyone in the Deep End with all Options on. That's how we all learned lol but lately I think it's better not to use some of the newer ones such as Air Commander and Naval Commander.

We can use the A-Bomb if you want and or the Expanded Victory conditions. We probably should as I imagine most of us will going forward at this point. They just got added recently.

But it is a practice game, so on second thought, it be best not too. Don't wanna overwhelm you too much Anyway Here's a link to all the rules not covered in the rulebook. Just scroll down a bit.

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36945/axis-allies-global-1940-house-rules-expansion

At any rate, we can sort out what and what not to use before we start.

Yea marti is no more. Got a new one that's sadly not as good but it allows us to get the turn summary and see the expected hits on the dice.

Here's where you register for Dice https://dice.triplea-game.org/

I'll be back in a few with detailed instructions on how PBF/PBEM works

Edit
A lot of stuff you'll already know, as you been on triplea for years but the new process is slightly different. I'll show the steps how to set it up but you won't actually have to do any of it

I use PBEM and use the PBF for the Game thread. They're basically interchangeable but PBF is broken right now, so you have to manually post the save to the Game thread.

This how @victoryfirst taught me so that's how I do it

Fire up triplea and select "Play By Email"

If not registered to the Dice Server, hit Register and it'll take you to the link I posted earlier.

Once the Emails are filled out and registered, you hit "Test Server" next to Register. You only need to do that once at the very start of the game.

Everything else gets ignored as it's broken. The Automatically send emails etc ...

Then fire up the game, you actually select the game first before clicking on PBEM, and do a turn. You'll notice it says "Dice Server On" bottom right

That way you know you're not in "Local Mode" and it'll give a "View Turn Summary" which is above on the right sidebar. You click on it and then ctrla ctrlc on the window that pops up

then ctrl s and make a saved game. I usually do something like "EXP Practice Game 1 malmessi G 1"

Then you post the Turn summary you copied to the Game thread along with the saved game and any comments you wanna make.

Your opponent then DownLoads the save and repeats the process. Usually you will do a test turn in Local Mode and when you're happy with it or as happy as you'll get sometimes Fire up the save and select PBEM and it'll be for keeps

Yes, there is definitely a program problem here. The program allows paratroopers to retreat whence their air transports entered the embattled territory if they did so from a land zone (in this case, Syria). I'm fairly certain this is not a TWW thing, but I'll test it using V3 just to make sure (as that would also be a better reference for a problem report).
