        @crockett36 I propose that one of you switches sides. playing a game for the first time against two veterans is daunting. I think i would have more fun with a guide.

          Yea we had setup that way but sadly lost Victory. If I knew he wasn't coming back, that would have been a good suggestion then but I feel it's too late in the Game to be switching it up now.

          You have played well since gamely taking command of all Allied Forces. I can continue to advise you somewhat.

          Obviously, you must hold Moscow. I would get your 2nd TG next turn. You can have both Tank Armies active in defense of your Capital.

          I would also buy a FlakTower. It has massive AA abilities and can soak 5 hits.

          You also have 3 LL Air that UK or USA can send you. They convert on any SSR original TTy that SSR controls. They cost 1 PU to convert. If UK or USA sends LL Air, they cannot conduct combat that turn with the LL units. Can only move them in ncm.

          Lastly, it's good to keep an eye on the "Economic Victory" totals. You have to add and subtract for the Pacific Islands manually but triplea will show you the rest under "Players" next to the Action tab.

          Screenshot from 2025-07-23 01-48-16.png

          So it's showing 169 for Allies. You then add the Islands JPN controls that were originally Allied and the difference from the starting PU, which is already counted and the new Green total.

          So
          1 Iwo Jima
          1 Celebes
          2 DNG

          is 173
          minus

          -1 Guam
          -3 PHI

          Puts you back at 169.

          Allies need 189 at end of French turn.
          Axis need 148.

          I guess we could ask @Trout if he's interested in joining the Allies. He is experienced. As The Captain says, beginners and Veterans alike have a good chance to win 🙂

          As long as you hang on to Moscow and keep the Reich from breaking out, you still in a good position. You have Nippon under immense pressure 🙂

          Hang in there 🙂

          Edit
          Also any original soviet TTy that has been conquered but is unoccupied, you can place Partisans. They can be annoying. Only land units can kill them, No Air or Rockets.

          Edit 2
          UK Rail can go anywhere that has a continous Ground Line of Communication at the start of their turn. You can use them as blockers if needed in SSR.

              Just heard from Trout. He said he'd be willing to take over ANZAC and collaborate with you going forward if you want.

                You are doing very well for your first game, sir. My very first game was a desaster as Axis and it ended with the Russian Army taking Berlin. My 2nd game, this time as Allies, ended the same. only this time it was the Wehrmacht taking Moscow. The next few games went the same, but with every game I improved and the fun playing increased game by game! The rules and manual editing became normal.

                For our current game it is too late in my opinion to switch sites. The Axis made plans involving movementa for the next 1-2 rounds, and switching sites would be too much of an impact.
                I feel with you the pain of the overwhelming rules at the beginning, so beelee and I will try to support you (mostly beelee I believe 🙂 ) as much as we can.

                lets see if Trout can jump in. he is a very ecpirienced player at EXP and can guide you through. nevertheless will I go over your moves and give you advises and hints, as well as explanations.

                keep on fighting! 👌

                    @crockett36 Hey Crockett! Yes, I have been following your game as Panzer and Beelee keep beating me with their A&A tricks so I follow other game strings to learn what strategies others are following. The biggest reason I believe HRE is the most brilliant board game ever is that there are so many different strategies one can pursue. There is no formulaic way to win like about every other game around.

                    However, it is a big learning curve. I still have to check the rulebook multiple times each game I play. Although I am getting better each time. I have notched a win against both of them now and the games I am losing are being lost in closer fashion. So if you are up for it, I can join your Allied cause by playing ANZAC and if you want to bounce any strategies or questions off of me, that's not a problem. Panzer and Beelee have been real patient gents with me so of course I can do the same with you.

                      @trout that would be great! I usually post a proposed purchase/combat move and wait on my teammates to respond.

                              Also you will need to rename the folder after you extract the zip to

                              global_40_expansion_uhd_boxes

                              then it goes in downloadedMaps folder inside triplea folder next to your saves

                                    So I updated it, didn't erase it and I left it named as was. What did I do wrong? Also I am using 2.7 tripleA.

                                      which 2.7 exactly ? Some of the most recent have had some issues. I'm on 14962 and it works correctly.

                                      We'll go through the steps again in a moment.
