TripleA for G40 is sweetness!!!

@questioneer:

Correction…ABattlemap may be disposed of this month if the rest of the players catch on to this.

Let’s hope that people get convinced of the convenience that comes with TripleA soon!

I don’t think that’ll happen. battlemap will likely be around for some time.

[questioneer]

Man you gotta be smoking good stuff to be using ABattlemap afer trying the new TripleA PBF.

Just discovered the battle calculator- just as good as the David Skelly’s AACalc on my phone- nice touch.

Make games are so much easier and faster with this TripleA PBF, if anybody doesn’t try this, they suck. :lol:

[Noll]

I agree with Quest.

[Zhukov44]

Re. live and pbf, don’t forget that it’s possible to start a pbf game and then play it out live, or start a live game and then play the rest out via pbf.  I have no desire to play an entire A&A game online in one sitting, so the ability to save games with TripleA and then either play it later or play it out via forum/email is a huge plus.

It’s great to see more people using the technology!

@questioneer:

Oh for sure, TripleA is best for PBF with AA.org.  I love how they set that up.  It seems to cut down the time in half.  As far as a live game, if I wanna host games I have to reset the ID on my router.

Unfortunately port forwarding for TripleA is not necessarily straightforward because what you have to do depends on your router.  In every case, you have to create exceptions for Windows Firewall and your router’s firewall.  But sometimes you need to create a static ip as well.

There’s lots of useful info here

You don’t need to enable port forwarding in order to join live games–only to host them.

If you need assistance, people on the lobby are usually willing to help.

[questioneer]

Yeah if someone hosts a G40 game I’m in for “live” play, but otherwise I didn’t want to go throught the router adjustment hassle right now.  Besides, I don’t want an 8hr sitting at the PC for a whole live game either.

But for PBF, this is where the new TripleA really shines and since turns are so fast, you and another player can play maybe 3-4 rounds in one sitting by PBF.  Turns literally take 1-5minutes tops.  Unless your opponent is really slow. :wink:

I agree with all….TripleA is the Ferrari to Battlemap’s Chevy…but I can play Battlemap at work…cannot post rolls or anything with TripleA  :cry:

Yes you can now, what’s stopping you???

[Veqryn]

TripleA can not connect to the internet well if you are behind a proxy.  That is probably what is stopping him.

You can still do PBEM and PBF (i think), but only if your dice roller is either the internal one, or can get through the proxy.

And you can definitely still play locally (and manually email or post the savegame if you want).

But i do know that you can’t connect to the lobby from behind a proxy.

Unless you know how to configure your proxy and/or triplea to work together, then you are out of luck.

Don’t ask me how, my knowledge only extends to knowing how to host.

I hope to get a network engineer or someone to code some proxy support for us one day.

I bombed an IC with 3 strat bombers. The defender had 2 fighters and 2 tacticals in the same territory, but only the fighters had the option to intercept. I always thought that tacticals could intercept as well  . . . so do I have the rule wrong or should the tacs have the option to intercept as well?

[questioneer]

Seth, I believe tacs and ftrs can “scramble” together, but only ftrs “intercept” whereas tacs “bomb” with stratbmrs.

[Jennifer]

A) China can still hide in the Himilayas…  :P
B) I have to say, I am still not impressed.  It is very much like Hasbro’s (yea I just cursed it, deal!) and it still doesnt “feel” right to me
C) Why is there such hatred to Battlemap?  It’s not as cruddy as mapview and it doesnt require the overhead of tripleA…

Now what I like:

AI is improved…
I can play by myself
It has neat little animations, icons and sounds for my kids, so they want to play.

Man Cmdr Jennifer you are cold.

Veqryn has transformed Triplea from something that let you play revised, through a fight with hasbro, and into something that let you play G40 extremely easily.  Maybe sometime in the next few months we’ll have a beta version of 1914 as well to play!

Can’t say I can complain about Triplea at all.

[Hepps01]

Triple A is easily, hands down, my preferred method of playing turn based strategy games.  So many great options and flexibility to ensure things are governed by the engine.  Personally I feel all the added features are nice and since you can turn them all off with a single click they are also not a distraction if I wish to eliminate them from play.  Many add to the atmosphere of the game and while they might appeal to the more juvenile side of my personality isn’t that what escaping to the fantasy of a video game is all about?

Cmdr Jennifer obviously all the efforts you have put into ABattlemap make you biased  towards your own work, and that is understandable.
