@VictoryFirst @Panzerstahl-Helm-0

Oye

There is a small Island west of the Danish/W GER border that doesn't have an owner. Who should I give it to ?

[Panzerstahl-Helm 0]

@beelee

Howdy,

I guess this belongs to Denmark.
Kopenhagen is located there I believe...

@panzerstahl-helm-0

Right arm I will give it to them in the next update.

[beelee]

Ok Denmark gets the little Island. I hope they and the reich don't fight over it lol.

Gonna do 2.41 update now hee hee

Edit
It's available on triplea now

[beelee]

Working on the Elite Tanks. Wasn't sure what to do for an image. Thought about just making their barrels black and maybe I still will. For now I just went generic mode. We can always change it to something better.

There's only one each for SSR and USA. Reich gets 3 plus 1 waffen, so there won't be very many on the board.

yea Idk think I'll just go generic for now

Edit
Yea I'm gonna leave the blank space blank for now. Will use the Overflow Box to put extra ACs.

Pick which one you need and move to map instead of edit in and out.

Ok almost done here. Should be up after bit

Edit 2
Never seen the overflow box used but if one wanted to, you'd just dust the ACs and use it.

Hmm ... don't think I'll force place the AC's. People can add them if they want.

Update to 2.44

[beelee]

Since the dice server down been working on the 1939 mod

lol

@Panzerstahl-Helm-0 I have 3 U-boats starting in 112. Maybe 2 would be better ? Surely the Kriegsmarine had some boats in the Atlantic before they attacked Poland.

Well not a big deal. They auto move to there Early 1940 positions so it doesn't affect the mod. I just thought it would look cooler if they started closer to home

heh heh It's actually kinda cool to watch them move.

Update to 2.46

[beelee]

Update to 2.5

When Downloading from triplea, it may say 100% complete and then revert to 0% several times before completing the upload.

[beelee]

Update to 2.51

[beelee]

Update to 2.52

@Panzerstahl-Helm-0 if you haven't started your game with Alexander or is still early, you should switch to this one.

What happened was, I wanted the Game Option to be turned on for the Air Trprt to be able to be selected during Total War. Actually, all the Total War Units but only had done A Trprt.

I did the opposite lol

Next Big update I will make all the Total War Units need to be turned on in Game Options ( they all are by default ) in order to buy them. Otherwise, if you turn off the option it'll still show up once Total War happens.

Just a heads up

Prosit

@beelee

Why are the Dutch, Mongolians, Neutrals etcetera, list as 'Human'? They should be 'DoesNothing' because there are no sequence/steps under gamePlay. Also, they should be hidden.

    <player name="Dutch" optional="true" defaultType="DoesNothing" isHidden="true"/>
    <player name="Mongolians" optional="true" defaultType="DoesNothing" isHidden="true"/>
    <player name="Neutral_Axis" optional="true" defaultType="DoesNothing" isHidden="true"/>
    <player name="Neutral_Allies" optional="true" defaultType="DoesNothing" isHidden="true"/>
    <player name="Neutral_True" optional="true" defaultType="DoesNothing" isHidden="true"/>

It would be nice to have "isHiddenPlayersTad" and "isHiddenTechTad". One can only hope.
Also, all their tech can be removed.
And what's up with "Changer"? Is that player still needed?

Cheers...

@wc_sumpton

heh heh Idk I just used Veqryn's WWII Global 40 as the template.

Changer is needed. He controls the Landmines. Has control of the TimeTable too I think and a couple other things. Can't remember
Oh yea, he triggers a buncha stuff. Could probably have the Germans do most of it.

Idk if "Does Nothing" affects the Neutrals and Mongols from being able to use edit. The Mongols will actually trigger in some situations and the Neutrals as well I think.

@beelee

There are no steps for these players. They cannot declare war, move, attack, purchase or collect income. All they can do is defend. Only casualties would be selected by AI, nothing else should change.
But to each their own.

Cheers...

If it's not broke, don't fix it is my motto

[JohnnyCat]

[malmessi]

hi!
found this thread and...
I played Global1940 many times, can someone please tell me the main differences of this UHD boxes version ?
A dedicated manual would be awesomne but even a post listing all the differences would be great

Thanks

@malmessi

Hi malmessi

Here is a link to the rulebook https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jI_1JdIC-1KiTihBICJAbtX3GpVYnNgf/view

and this is The Captain's thread at the other site https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37535/the-captain-s-global-1940-house-rules-collection

You want the first link there. Some of the other ones are helpful too. If using triplea it requires a lot of edit, I'd say triplea still does 80-90% of it though.

We've found after 2-3 games it becomes second nature. It' quite a bit more complex but most who have played enjoy it and don't even really play OOB anymore

If you like G40 I think you will love this
