On Edit #1: Conceptually, one in spring (i.e. Feb/Mar 2018) one in fall (i.e. Oct/Nov) and one in the winter (i.e. Dec/Jan).

On Edit #2: After watching General Hand Grenade’s excellent 2017 holiday shopping guide video (youtube.com/watch?v=4dNu24CGMuI&feature) (and if anyone is interested Item #1 is on my wish list :-D ) I have a much better sense that Global is the game to play around here (unfortunately for me I have the older versions of Europe/Pacific). So I will be working to obtain and play that version so I am prepared for Young GrassHopper’s invitational in 2020.

General Mayhem reporting for duty, sir/ma’am.
Currently posted in the general Buffalo, NY area, but I am willing to TDY somewhat to meet up to play.

I have been playing various versions of A&A since ~1988, but have never participated in a tournament nor an on-line A&A game.
I’ve done PBEmail Diplomacy in the past, but that is a different animal.
Over the years I have downloaded and played a few TripleA games against the AI, but it is never as satisfying as FTF.

After watching General Hand Grenade’s video of Young Grasshoppper’s 2017 tournament and GHG’s wish list video, I am stoked to play A&A (anything).
Looking forward to gearing up to acquire and learn Global and hopefully attend Young Grasshopper’s 2020 invitational.

I’ll be looking for help on how to join and play a TripleA hosted Global game sometime soon, just have to figure out the time commitment(s) and mechanics of joining (I think I should have a good/basic understanding of the game itself, but will hunt down a copy of the rules ASAP).

So in salutation,
Well met all-ya-all’ (and ‘Aye’, "Oi’, ‘Ciao’ and ‘Yo’ to all our Canadian, Aussie and friends across the globe),

I’m between Buffalo and Rochester and would love to be part of a quarterly A&A group in the area.

Sooo….
I donated $10 and received my prized 2017 Bronze Badge (thank you very much), and would like to know if it would be acceptable to followup with a $25 donation and receive a Silver Badge and proudly display both badges for 2017? :-D

Not that I’m looking to “buy badges” or anything as nefarious as that, not in the least.
I am wholly motivated by an honest and pure desire to provide an acceptable level of support, within my budget, for the website and organization.  :evil:

This train of thought started from a desire to ask about upgrading from my (what some might characterize as a humble/lackluster) initial donation, and then I thought…hmmmm… what if?..

just askin’ all in good fun, :-D

If you’re still looking for relevant/cool/inexpensive ideas for aaa or bbb, how about some Roundel Coasters from HBG?
(insert URL code here).historicalboardgaming.com/HBG-60-pt-Beverage-Coasters_p_388.html

I just got mine in the mail yesterday and they’re a great add (along with a Ger airship for AA1914).  Happy days :-D.

Just sayin’/suggestin’

Perfect!  Thank you sir!

@barney:

Hi General

Go to software and check out TripleA- List of relevant links

Also you can’t post links until you’ve posted a few times. don’t remember how many it is

Ok, will do when i get home tonight.
Thanks  :-D

Sorry, you are not allowed to post links s18.postimg.org/xx8f3bz61/HHo_A.gif  awww mannnn…it was a cool/funny gif too…snifle  :cry:

So,

My first Online Noob Player Post (ONPP)  :-D

I have TripleA loaded on my laptop (at home) and am fairly certain I have all the current map updates (last played/updated around August 2017), and I’m guessing the following procedures:

Step #1: Post/reply to a game request here.
Step #2: Find other player(s) and arrange a time to start playing using the TripleA online service. (correct?)
Step #3: Save game as needed and resume game play when opponent/allies time schedule coincide. (correct?)

I am going to presume that there is a mechanism for saving a game as it progresses so everyone doesn’t have to be online simultaneously, correct?

Apologies for too many questions.

Thanks in advance,
GM

Hey FH, I am a noob (for the site), too.

What is your general geographic location, and are you interested in face-to-face (ftf) games?

Looking forward to the chance to be an Ally with you some day soon in a forum game,
General Mayhem

Looking for WNY (Buffalo/Batavia/Rochester) games/players.

If there is enough interest/commitment, I would be willing to host (i.e. pay $) for a 1-day/night group game at a local (i.e. central/cheap/Batavia) hotel conference room (neutral/public territory).  I already scoped one out in Batavia (easy to find immediately off the Thruway and next to Bob Evans).

A&A, A&AM, Diplomacy, Supremacy, Risk, Fortress America (old/original), or anything similar.

Thanks,
General Mayhem
