@usmc3537x You just need to download TripleA: https://triplea-game.org/download/

Then you can download the maps from in game after installing and launching it. You can play against the AI, join the lobby to play live, or play by forum/email.

Thank you very much for the reply.  I will have a look.

AA41 all the way or if you have an old copy of classic try that.

Also while some folks use their gameboards most use some sort of electronic map such as battlemap or mapview or both in the case of one of my games.

Here is a link to mapview and a link to a tutorial someone wrote on using it. Mapview is prettier than battlemap. I’m just getting exposed to it and I’m not sure how much “resistance to change” vs “like battlemap better” I’m experiencing.

I don’t have a link to Abattlemap.

thanks cystic crypt

There is also a bug called “unit lock” some times when the game gets a high number of units on the board it freezes. You best bet, like TG said is to get the patch then save often.

Spring’s version of the patch may be corrupt.

Try downloading the patch from here:

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.)
