Exile has ended. In from the GTO wastelands…

Greetings from a former GTO holdout.

If I want to play A&A then I have to figure out how to make TripleA work for me.  I’m embracing the G40.2 game and am preparing myself for future game play.  Could someone please help me with a few answers and some general guidance?

1. what is the best way to use TripleA to play games?  Live play is generally not an option so how would I set up or participate in a game on TripleA?
2. what is the best way to find opponents?  At AA.org or on TripleA?

I’m learning the AA40 game mechanics and found the younggrasshopper video series to be extremely valuable.  With all the topics in this thread it is very difficult to find the “needle in the haystack” I might need to study.  Any guidance you all can provide is much appreciated.

I do play by forum games.  Most people do one turn a day, although some people can crank out four or five if they get excited about a match.  It took me three games before I really got accustomed to TripleA.

I play league games, although I don’t really care about my actual standings.  Here is the link to advertise for new games.

I’m also quite new to TripleA, and I prefer ‘‘Play-By-Forum’’ games. With forum play you have a lot of time to think about your next move and you don’t have to worry about enough time to finish the game.

The videos on the TripleA Youtube channel really helped me. This link will start with the first one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX9ehmKFdmI. If you watch those vids, you can get started easily.

Maybe we can setup a game to ‘‘Play-By-Forum’’? I will do my best to help you get started  :-D

EDIT: I find my opponnents in the ‘‘Play Boardgames’’ section on this forum. Here is the link: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?board=40.0

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
