That makes sense.
I just think this way because the first two times I played this game I found the Axis at a huge disadvantage with almost no plausible way to win.
Your play is making me rethink that.
Practice tripleA jim vs Axisplaya
-
Well, here it is.
I prefer Battlemap.
And with Battlemap, I can move units around to see what the game could like like in future turns. Helps me plan.
TripleA is actually far superior when it comes to planning your turn.
As you learn to use the software, get in the habit of practicing your turn in “local” mode as many times as you need to feel good about your movements, then go back and play your turn with the play-by-forum functions on.
But how do I plan 2-3 turns in advance?
-
You can play a “local game” and cycle through your turns.
Or use the edit feature.
That said, I agree with what you’re saying Jim, it’s not as plyable as battlemap, but once you get going, you remember how much all that typing SUCKED, and the graphics get easier to look at.

Can’t plan on this like I can on Battlemap. Â Not liking the poor zoom out, either. Â I’m sure I’ve missed something due to it.
Couldn’t resist try out an old strat. Â I didn’t set up the Italians for it properly, though. Â They’ll pay the price. Â I didn’t decide to do this until right now.
