Test summary from TripleA 22:06:03

test run

Way too early IMHO to claim who has advantage in this game.  I need to challenge (through more gameplay) some of you on some of these claimed unstoppable Axis strategies/assumptions.  I'm gonna try some TripleA soon.

Michigan leads, 58–43–6

Hey BTW, I'm strongly thinking of doing PBF on this site using TripleA instead of ABattlemap.  They finally have a stable version of G40.  Instructions are in the "Software" Thread on the Main Page of this site.  I'm gonna test it out.  If it's good then I would like to play there.  Much, much faster and you don't have to type crap out yet the map will save and run correct/legal moves (no looking at map for mistakes by players).  Check it out and tell me what you think???

Don't know if then is in the right place, but for those interested in Dominion- I'm running an official qualifier at Oakland University on Sat. June 23rd at 12pm.

Here is the link to the flyer info sheet and how to register:

You think you can- don't chance it though- BattleCalc it baby!!!

stable version for Global 40 Final Alpha (2nd ed) is out now...I'm officially a tripleA convert- down with ABattlemap- time to upgrade my play!!!

djensen,

I've tried your calc but I love this one way better:

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27042.0

sorry man, freezing has much better calc and I use it as an app!!!  Super sweet!!

Ah...very nice...just read the thread.  I will be doing this very soon.  This will probably be the new way we do PBF here I assume.  I don't know about everybody else, but I'm sure they would agree, typing out the moves gets pretty old after a while.

From my experience- I'm not convinced of the that yet.

I'll be playing TripleA in a week.  I would like to see these strategies in action a few times.  I'll let you know when I'm ready- I'm Allies.
