A Few Triple-A Questions

[StuckTojo]

Hello, everyone:

First time poster, here. I’ve read a number of your forum topics over the last few months and have found them quite helpful. I’ve been an avid player since the 80s but still have much to learn.

I recently downloaded (ok, actually, my girlfriend did it for me) Triple-A because I find it difficult to get games going here in town, so I’ve been playing the AI for the last couple weeks, mostly 1942 2nd edition. A few questions:

1. I’ve been losing bombers at about a 60% clip during bombing raids. Even after I switched to “low luck” in the preferences it’s still way higher than the 1/6 probability you should expect. Has anyone else experienced this?

2. I would like to play online against a real live opponent, rather than the AI. Is there a way to do that without having to do it via email?

Thanks in advance for any answers y’all can provide.

Hi ST

Welcome to the forum, even though you’ve been around for a while it seems!

You can play triple A against a real opponent either by e-mail of “by forum”, so the latter may give you what you need.

Full instructions can be found here:

If you need to find an opponent, this board is for that purpose:

And this is where you post forum turns:

Enjoy!

Cheers

Thanks, PP.

I’ll give this a try in the next couple days.

On these forums we play by forum (you have a link to instructions above).

To play a live opponent in real time, go to “play online” when you open triplea.  This takes you to the online TripleA gaming lobby.  Here you can start a new game or observe others playing.

Thanks, Z44

That’s exactly what I’m looking for.
