@the_good_captain

You are definitely right about that. It's funny how we all have some key differences in our strategies and openers for both sides. Which one is the best is something I am wondering about.

Yes I am not sure either about leaving the Med. I was just testing that out to see if it works. I feel if the ships stay in the Med, the damage they can do is limited. Usually the Middle East is taken once Germany is about to attack Moscow, meaning there are not that many turns that the Allies have to pay all those IPCs. However if the game goes on past turn 6, taking the ME is definitely the best option. I need to try some games now where I stay in the Med before that question can have a proper answer.

@the_good_captain

Hi, sorry but I have a sudden drop of interest in playing. I didn't like how I was playing so many games the past few months that I had almost had no time for some other projects. I will move away from playing the Europe games. I would still like to play Classic and D-Day but no Europe games anymore.

@ubernaut The map is identical to the Global 1940 Bloodbath Edition available from combatminiatures.org

Send you a mail with screenshots for how i do - lets stay in other forum.

where would you like taunts? 😛

@kindwind I assume you mean the game.dtd file, which defines the XML code. Check out this article https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Game.dtd.

Using an LLM is likely to be a frustrating exercise. You can just read the code or even use Excel to extract data. Here an example of a some of the code for territories and adjacencies.

<!-- Territory Definitions --> <territory name="red capitol"/> <territory name="red north 1"/> <territory name="red north 2"/> <territory name="red middle 1"/> <territory name="red middle 2"/> <territory name="red south 1"/> <territory name="red south 2"/> <territory name="blue capitol"/> <territory name="blue north 1"/> <territory name="blue north 2"/> <territory name="blue middle 1"/> <territory name="blue middle 2"/> <territory name="blue south 1"/> <territory name="blue south 2"/> <territory name="neutral territory 1"/> <territory name="neutral territory 2"/> <territory name="sea zone 1" water="true"/> <territory name="sea zone 2" water="true"/> <territory name="sea zone 3" water="true"/> <territory name="sea zone 4" water="true"/> <!-- Territory Connections --> <connection t1="red capitol" t2="red north 1"/> <connection t1="red capitol" t2="red middle 1"/> <connection t1="red capitol" t2="red south 1"/> <connection t1="red north 1" t2="red north 2"/> <connection t1="red north 1" t2="sea zone 1"/> <connection t1="red north 1" t2="red middle 1"/> <connection t1="red north 2" t2="sea zone 1"/> <connection t1="red north 2" t2="blue north 2"/> <connection t1="blue north 2" t2="blue north 1"/> <connection t1="blue north 2" t2="sea zone 2"/> <connection t1="blue north 1" t2="sea zone 2"/> <connection t1="blue north 1" t2="blue capitol"/> <connection t1="red middle 1" t2="red middle 2"/> <connection t1="red middle 1" t2="red south 1"/> <connection t1="red middle 1" t2="sea zone 1"/> <connection t1="red middle 1" t2="sea zone 3"/> <connection t1="red middle 2" t2="sea zone 1"/> <connection t1="red middle 2" t2="sea zone 3"/> <connection t1="red middle 2" t2="blue middle 2"/> <connection t1="blue middle 2" t2="blue middle 1"/> <connection t1="blue middle 2" t2="sea zone 2"/> <connection t1="blue middle 2" t2="sea zone 4"/> <connection t1="blue middle 1" t2="sea zone 2"/> <connection t1="blue middle 1" t2="sea zone 4"/> <connection t1="blue middle 1" t2="blue north 1"/> <connection t1="blue middle 1" t2="blue south 1"/> <connection t1="blue middle 1" t2="blue capitol"/> <connection t1="red south 1" t2="red south 2"/> <connection t1="red south 1" t2="sea zone 3"/> <connection t1="red south 2" t2="blue south 2"/> <connection t1="red south 2" t2="sea zone 3"/> <connection t1="blue south 2" t2="blue south 1"/> <connection t1="blue south 2" t2="sea zone 4"/> <connection t1="blue south 1" t2="blue capitol"/> <connection t1="blue south 1" t2="sea zone 4"/> <connection t1="sea zone 1" t2="sea zone 2"/> <connection t1="sea zone 3" t2="sea zone 4"/> <connection t1="neutral territory 1" t2="red capitol"/> <connection t1="neutral territory 1" t2="red north 1"/> <connection t1="neutral territory 1" t2="red north 2"/> <connection t1="neutral territory 1" t2="red south 1"/> <connection t1="neutral territory 1" t2="red south 2"/> <connection t1="neutral territory 2" t2="blue capitol"/> <connection t1="neutral territory 2" t2="blue north 1"/> <connection t1="neutral territory 2" t2="blue north 2"/> <connection t1="neutral territory 2" t2="blue south 1"/> <connection t1="neutral territory 2" t2="blue south 2"/>

There is no substitute for knowing the data.

@beelee I got it to work, thanks to your help!

It turned out there were two territories still included in the place.txt that I wanted to remove from the module. I thought removing their place boxes would do the job but they actually were still in the place.txt, just without any coordinates. This caused the String Index Out Of Bounds error. Lesson learned!

@leemorrison

I love Anniversary 1942, let's play that. I think people still like revised but I have not come across a thread where they play that game in the past couple of years. G40 is the most played game at the moment by far, Anniversary and Classic are also often played, as well as many TripleA games like World At War, Total World War, Big World, etc.

@beelee no reason to delete imo 🙂 some cool images here

@math2law said in Initial Duplication:

but I don't see where that precise map/game is in the actual TripleA folder on my computer.

It's an XML-file, called "ww2global40_2ndEd_move1st.xml" inside the "world_war_ii_global\map\games"-folder to be found inside your downloadedMaps directory.

For Code Raiders

This map has the following code that is worth looking at;

Buy Tech advances in the Purchase Phase, like Age of Tribes, but is ++++,
+Tech uses isSea & isAir so AI will target its Tech advances if it needs Sea or Air
+Tech advances are shown on Tech grid on Players tab
+Display grouping, Tech is prefixed with _DevL, _DevA, _DevS (Land, Air, Sea)
+Uses Foreach for easy xml maintenance, hundreds of lines of code, reduced to tens of lines

66ab8a45-1a7a-442b-98bc-db6d88f88865-image.png

.

Custom Purchase Panel (see above) (see file production_tabs.Autocrats.properties)
As the Purchase Panels are complex with lots of Tech Research & units being added & removed it has the following tabs
< All > < Land & Land-Tech > < Air & Air-Tech > < Sea & Sea-Tech > < All-Tech-Research > < Tech-Land > < Tech-Air > < Tech-Sea >

.

Search GO RandomField - to see how the following are placed randomly
40 Coal-Field - generate 1 pu/turn
8 Oil-Field - generate 1 tech/turn
3 Inf-Garrison
8 Oil-Field Fixed

.

Politics has 5 relationships War -> Neutral -> Accord -> Allied (note HOSTILE is skipped when suing for peace, goes from War to Neutral) War <- HOSTILE <- Neutral <- Accord <- Allied Uses Foreach for easier xml maintenance, thousands of lines of code, reduced to hundreds of lines

.

Impending Victory - When this is notified all isAI players that are; HOSTILE will declare War on the impending victory alliance Neutral will be HOSTILE to the impending victory alliance

.

Using atWarPlayers function a player faction will if; At War earn 1 Tech /turn with one or more factions At Peace earn 10 pu /turn with all faction so HOSTILE, Neutral, Accord, Allied (not at War)

@aa_sloth said in unable to unload transport in combat phase until I moved a cruiser in?:

I don't know if there is a rule I'm missing or if this is a glitch, so will try to describe what happened here and will see if someone can help.

Playing Global 1940 2nd edition

German declares war on Russia start of Round 3. Germany loads a tank and infantry onto a transport in seazone 113 and moves to seazone 115 where Russia has 1 sub.

Here is what I think is the glitch - I cannot unload the infantry and tank to attack Novgorod. I instead get the "x" icon when trying to unload them into Novgorod. It would let me unload them into Vyborg instead, but see below for how that behavior is odd too).

But, once I moved a cruiser from seazone 113 to seazone 115 it would then allow me to unload the infantry and tank into Novgorod as I was trying to do originally.

The question is why would the game not allow the transport on its own to unload troops into Novgorod?

Because this is rule compliant.

See the rulebook Europe 1940.2 page 16:
"However, a transport
is not allowed to offload land units for an amphibious
assault in a sea zone containing 1 or more ignored enemy
submarines unless at least 1 warship belonging to the
attacking power is also present in the sea zone at the end
of the Combat Move phase."

@leemorrison

Idk how much triplea experience you have, so I'll be saying things you already know 🙂

Scramble 110 or 111 ?

EXP lee Game 1 G1 CM.tsvg

One of the main differences is the double place phase. You will notice the Reich placed their Waffen Units in the first place phase.
Any Units that are placed in the first place are immediately active that turn.
