@VictoryFirst How bout "Onward Christian Soldiers" https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/871 Edit Or some sort of drum beat https://audiojungle.net/search/war drums but yea, the air raid kinda harsh. Not to mention it's still used to this day. Don't wanna freak anyone out in a current warzone

@schulz I mean, is there any difference between going with 48px and then zooming in on the map vs going with 54px and then zooming out? Because zoomed-out 54px looks better than zoomed-in 48px? Politicians answer. My logic goes like this, 2 & 4K screens have lots of pixels and as tech advances they will have more, this means that the standard 48x48px unit gets smaller and smaller on these screens, so now we need to draw the biggest unit icons we can and this is 54px high, width can be lots, lets say up to 96px wide. Another current hard parameter is 200% zoom. . How good is the AI in this map? I will make an outrageous claim and say its the best AI you will play against. but I would say that wouldn't I. This map is written for solo play, Black_Elk & I spent ages play testing against the AI. The forum for GCD has 1.8 million views, so players must think its worth looking at. Also I like to think I know how the AI works, if that's possible, see here https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/3743/how-to-make-a-map-ai-friendly . handling of upkeep Resources are calculated at the being of the players turn, thanks to wc_sumpton. This means losses and gains of TT/SZ and no of units is all done at the start of the players turn. . handling of terrain & weather It all appears to work as intended, play it and judge for yourself. . diplomacy Has not changed, its all still random, so 1941 GCD does not have any politics, its all scripted. However for FFA maps 1888A has "get impending winners", a set of triggers that forces the AI players to take a step closer to war/fighting the impending winners.

@McMoney To credit wc_sumpton for his genius help, here is how. Download The Pact of Steel 2 (PoS2) seen as The Pact of Stee Open its xml look at the end of the xml to see how its done. [image: 1780296578574-7e74acde-165d-476b-a7c3-d0c430bd036e-image.jpeg]

@mammothman64 Hi mammoth yea so what you need to do for now is hit turn summary ctrla ctrlc and then save the game. Then post both directly to the game thread and your opponent can dl the save from there. I'll dig up a link that explains it in detail https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4151/johnny-cat-tutorial?page=1

@VictoryFirst I think I recovered that one hmm ... well maybe not lol You wanna send that one too Edit Or just send everything you got

I like Darcula - except the politics panel - those colours are a pain, indeed.

@RogerCooper The wiki option was looked at some time ago, you may recall the thread. 'fandom' uses an older wiki syntax and would make a transition to it not awesome. We'd have to rewrite all of our docs in the that syntax. Axis and Allies meanwhile is a trademarked term owned by Hasbro and we can not, should not, have anything official for TripleA that is associated with that trademark. Hosting our documentation under a URL with a trade marked term that we do not own could create an incorrect perception of an affiliation.

Latest version v265 ready for download in TripleA. In TripleA Click Download Maps Button Click Installed tab Click 1941 Global Command Decision Click Remove Button Click Yes button to remove Click Ok button (Successfully removed) Click Close (To force the map list to refresh) Click Download Maps Button Find & Click 1941 Global Command Decision Click Install button (be aware, old versions of TripleA 2.7 displayed percentage download is NOT working as intended, have a coffee, it takes minutes to download) Enjoy! . v265 Thanks to the genius that is @wc_sumpton the Factory Placement is now turned on when its needed then off when its not. This probably returns the AI game play as before, but we shall see .

@BillCurtis Hi Bill I can't remember if I already sent this to you https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4151/johnny-cat-tutorial Here's Victory's instructions https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4076/1-trout-axis-vs-victoryfirst-allies-g40-house-rules-expansion-by-the-captain?page=1 Note The dice server is soon to be shutdown. Maybe as soon as tomorrow. Will need to use the new dice server https://dice.triplea-game.org/ and the latest triplea release 2026-June-13 - 2026-06.16.15640 I think when you DL triplea it takes you to the new release now. I'm not sure. I haven't gotten it yet. If not you should be able to find it here https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases There's a major transitioning happening right now. So best to start over with the new dice server and latest release. Some of the older information will become obsolete.

@GREGOREK What I think you are after and I too, is more control over the production_tabs.XXX.properties Here is an example from 1888a_steam_and_steel production_tabs.Autocrats.properties If only the tech researched units would appear in the order defined in the production_tabs file and just added to the end. Also the Edit Mode unit display should be consistent, with no production_tabs with production_tabs

@RogerCooper I think the ahistorical presence of the Bolsheviks in Siberia makes the game more interesting and provides more options to both sides. I haven't played against the AI in a long time. All I remember is that the AI is worse at handling naval stuff, not necessarily specific to the Americans on this map. There used to be a tech that gave transports +2 movement, but it was nerfed to +1. Not sure if that would make any difference to the American AI's behavior.

@TheDog You might get more bang for your buck by deleting the 'Xmx' and 'Xms' memory settings. The lobby window will occupy 4GB and then any game you launch will occupy another 4GB. Each game is its own instance, the memory settings AFAIK carry over. Generally Java uses very good defaults, so overriding those defaults can hurt. Specifically 'Xms', which is a minimum, so you're forcing the lobby window and any game to initially take more memory than it would need. I would personally set 'Xms' at 500m or remove entirely to let the JVM handle it. If we find some really good tunings, we can adopt those settings to be more built in. FWIW, Moon-Man was doing some experimentation with JVM settings here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/discussions/14467

@BillCurtis Hi Bill Welcome to the site ! Yea I don't think prastle lists all the donors anymore, as he is basically retired from triplea. I think he still holds the purse and pays the bills though. Let us know in "Player Help" if you have any questions.

@Schulz Been a while. If you want to use this threads map you are welcome to use it. It is used in 1941 Global Command Decision, but be aware it has nearly 800 locations so is probably best for solo play.

@Ted-Self Check out https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Axis_%26_Allies_Wikipedia for a list of every mod (except a rew recent mods).
