How do I find a map that would play today's World War 3?

@beelee I will do in steps as i get the shots mixed up lol

Download prerelease

It's now in your downloads. Yes I know you know this but we are gonna be deliberate lol

[beelee]

notice there are two triplea folders. At least for me

The big T is where the release will go. The little one is where your saved games and maps are

[beelee]

then I open it and hit propertiess

then Permissions

This shouldn't be necessary for you on windows. Just follow the prompts but this is how I do it

Then Execute

[beelee]

Then I put it in a terminal

and I get this

now windows should be the same here I would think. We want to install into a different directory so we need to change the default to no

[beelee]

i put 14780. Careful not to nuke the name or you gatta type it all in again

[beelee]

then just power through the prompts and you get here

and you're ready to roll.

Now we both got the latest prerelease

[beelee]

If you still have trouble you can ask Panther for help. He's on windows and super triplea smart but I think it should be similar process.

I don't think you need todo the terminal stuff. Just follow the prompts but when you get the Wehrmacht Infantry dude, it should be the same

Welcome to the site @nick1907

Actually WW III is being fought right now. It just hasn't gone nuclear yet lol Just kidding kinda

Here's a link to the map page on git. You might find it easier to scroll through them https://github.com/triplea-maps

If you are talking about Cold War 2, there is a game about it from a few years ago, https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Europe_Divided

The Nuclear………….(1946-2100) list is weak, if you find any more maps, please suggest them in the above thread.

One of my old maps might fit what you are looking for, but it is a fantasy/made up map, it does have 'modern' units.

@beelee Thank you, I found the map.

@rogercooper There is mod called Modern Warfare inspired by the contemporary political situation. It looks interesting and uses a modified version of the WW2 Global map.
