Curated Best/Top Maps & TripleA Guides

@thedog oh thanks i didnt see it

I am a huge fan of these TripleA games - though I am starting to tire of the usual WWII scenario and seeking something more.
What I mean is that most of these WW2 games are all more or less the same: The Axis are out gunned and at a huge geographic disadvantage so the usual game is either: The Axis "win" by not losing by turn X, or the The Allies win by simply creating a pipeline and overwhelming the Axis. There is little room for any other "strategic adventures."
But I thought I saw a "map" that had England starting in Axis hands but I cannot find it now. Does anyone know of this scenario (what you guys call "maps"?) or any other games set in the tripleA gaming context but offering fresh new challenges?
Thank you and congrats to all for keeping these games fresh

@johnnycat https://github.com/triplea-maps/Darkest_Hour has Britain starting under German control.
Most of the WW2 scenarios in A&A tend to favor the Axis. US production is unrealistically low and the Japanese can usually conduct a logistically impossible march across Asia to Moscow.
For other alternate history scenarios, download the mod "Classic Variations". For a list of scenarios, see https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Category:TripleA_Scenarios.

May I suggest Crockett36's France Goes First? Same Board game as G40 se, but France decided to move in April of 1940, either to attack or to retreat or turtle or to build more fleet? A very unique experience!

What is not on Github?

@rogercooper Punctuation would've helped. I am not on Github, therefore I am not sure if France goes first is on there.

I don't see it. If you want to create a mod like that, I will be happy to post it and help you with creating it.

@rogercooper That would be great. Where do we start? Thanks!

@crockett36 Open a new thread as this discussion doesn't really belong on the "Curated" thread.
