TripleA - play Axis & Allies like Maps Online, PBEM or against the AI

Topic moved to the TripleA support forum.

@Panther Thank you very much

Yes, I was online last night and watched a game round or two of a couple global 40 games. Just to get a sneak peek of what strategies are being used. I will see if I can find someone to set up a play by forum game against. Looking forward to a game against different opponents other then my couple friends who play. More importantly, and I might get blown out of the water, but I’d like to play against some skilled opponents. Just to see where I stand.

Thanks again for your help. The videos were especially helpful

So much fun but I need to find better opponents.  Last night I was playing USA and had Russia set to the Moore AI.  Russia built a destroyer in the Baltic Sea (sea Zone 100) on round 2.  It got worse… Later they built on turn 5 a complex in Caucasus and the following turn a Cruiser in the Caspian Sea!  Thought you guys might enjoy this. :)

I built a program in C++ of Axis and Allies for the original version back in 1993 but unfortunately never finished the program. I had the map completed and the pieces but never finished it.  I am very impressed with the latest accomplishments of TripleA.

Subs rolling separately is a minor issue in low luck games.  If you have 1 ss 1 dd 2 bb against a fleet with a dd–the total punch is 12, but it’s quite possible to only get 1 hit.  It would be an improvement if subs are lumped in with the gross total in that scenario (eg only if the enemy has a dd that negates the surprise shot).

@Veqryn:

next version has been released for beta testing,

Wow, the changelog reads incredibly impressive!
Thank you, Veqryn!

Okay, I managed to get it working!  :-)

I installed the A&A50 1941 scenario map, no problem. Just having my first ever game as Japan against all the AI and all I can say is - I’m LOVING it!!  :-D

This is fantastic, brilliant graphics and simple interfaces. Well done to the team who made this!  And thank you.  :wink:

I wanted to start a forum where we could suggest some new functionality to tripleA to the developers. I know you guys are busy, but I thought it would be nice to give some ideas your users have.

Here are some I had:

If you click on a territory you can set up “options” for it. Some people might have ideas for more, but one option I would like to see is changing the default causulities for PBEM games. It could be “Offensive Mode”: It will take allies that are in the territory as casulties before taking the owner of the territory’s units as causalities. I think this is the way the game is by default. “Defensive Mode” it will take infantry first, artillery…etc. and ignore which country owns the unit. The last units that will be taken are aircraft then. It will keep the defense value of the territory high for as long as possible.

I was wondering if there was a way to store game files online (like google documents) so that people could play without actually having to email game files to each other. I think there could be other advantages to this. You would not need to have all the battle results emailed to you to keep track of battles. There could be a log file that is attached to the file that is stored online.

If anybody has anything else to add please do…
