What do I need to play on-line?

Hi @major-jsoto

The only two places I know to play online are here https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/17147/gargantua-s-k-i-s-s-triplea-instructions/30

and here https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/68/axis-allies-1942-online

@frasil18 Welcome to the forum. :smile:

We use a software called “TripleA” to play A&A-related games.
I recommend that you check out the TripleA-related stickies in the TripleA Support Forum

Everything you need to know is described in detail there.

Have fun :smiley:

I haven’t played forum style in awhile but for the most part you just remove the lowest combat valued pieces first when you are posting an attack. If you have question about something you just ask. Most times questions only arise with defending navies and subs and so on. The person who’s turn it is usually rolls both the attacker and defender and removes the casualties. If they come up to a part where the other guy might not have said what to do if such and such decision was made you ask.

The msot difficult things I found about playing online were getting the map softwares installed and running, typing up what I moved and the dice rolls and not taking a crazy amount of time thinking about your moves. It is very easy when you’re the only one around to take all the time in the world, over think and over analyze. I quit playing online over the last one.

There isn’t really an FAQ or a set of guidelines or anything. I think a lot of guys are using the Triple A program which does a lot of stuff for you. I’d always used Abattlemap before I gave up playing by forum because I was taking two hours to make two moves a night– because I couldn’t just ‘play.’

When it comes down to it just do what you’d do playing face to face only with forum posts.

I was bored the other day and did a review of the forum dice roller which I’ll be posting here in Player Help.

@eyeofthetiger:

thanks cystic crypt

i dont know what your talkin about. i played as allies vs my friend who is very experienced and i won (wasnt easy tho)

u need to employ tactics man.

for example i made a raiding force, and built up like 6 bombers, and a strong navy, beat the japs out of phillipines and then built a factory there (dont worry if they did take it its not very useful to build there) and i kept strat bombing them (6 moves to japan and back to phillipines) and sending troops to sumatra, borneo, and the rest, until u have a decent invasion force, then its cake

jap player only got to 40 for one round in my game. be a coward in china, hold all your troops up in schechwan since rest of china is worthless and u cant attack to get korea or manchuria. build a good force of arty and infantry in india, hold back britains navy until its strong enough to severely damage the jap navy. use combat air patrols to protect your boats. watch for the strategically significant naval bases and airfields.

keep in mind tho no strategy is 100% in axis and allies. its like chess… on steroids… with luck involved!

Hi all

I just can’t launch or join the game with my friends in the ZONE. ZThe screen just gone black with the game cursor.

something to do with the direct-play of windows??

thanks for your help!!! Anyone???please

:cry:

I understand that when you are using a hub or router for your internet connection, there are also some sticky issues. (I get an directplay error despite the fix). Has anyone found a solution to this problem? (Solutions to the problem are hinted at other message boards, but I’ve been unable to find the actual fix.)
