New android app for battle prediction (with ipc loss) and unit purchases

Hi,

I work on script-assistance for Axis and Allies Global 1940 on Tabletop Simulator.

What it does so far:

detect and count units and unit chips on the battle strip Provide “Spawn Dice” button for each side Count hits when throwing dice Provide (+) and (-) Buttons and a number input as hover menu for units to change the stack below it. This is done automatically according to the entered number of units.

Hope you like it!

@fasthard Thank you.

@barney:

Not that I’m aware of. You could probably copy/paste some stuff from the rule book I would think. Might just have to type away : ) Do small portions at a time so as not to be overwhelmed : )

Yea I like live play for the “gut feeling” battles as opposed to battle calc. Battle calc has it’s uses, especially for testing stuff, but I think the live thing gives more of a “real” feel than pbf where you can take as much time as needed to make the best play. Both are fun though, just a little different

I will go at it then - once I am done I’ll open-source the json, so other people can use that in projects :)

Agreed on that battle-calc thing. I will leave it out of the app, as it is intended as a game-aid during play

Dude, this is awesome! Thanks!

I wish the game would allow games with more than two players online and G40 would also be cool. Sadly the developer does not reply to email and seems not to work anymore on the game.

Crowninshield (aka Jacob?)! I sent you message on here, but I’m not sure you got it. JojoWilhelm here, trying to rebuild battleforces from the ground up. I could use any info you might have or remember, including any more pics of the game (for example initial map setups). If you see this, shoot me an email at jojowilhelm@protonmail.com.

you are correct

our UI uses Swing,

and to be Android / iStuff compatible, someone would need to redo our UI in a different library that is specially made for those platforms.

our code is open source, anyone is welcome to do this

Hello everyone,

First post. Played my first A&A game as a kid if the late 80’s. Stopped playing in the early 90’s and was re-introduced with the game with the PC version in the late 90’s. Since then i go through phases on interest in little spells once a year. Long lost my PC version (just bought one from Ebay!) and have been in recent times using TripleA.

Anywho I got back in my A&A phase and see so many new developments in the board game (Revised and Anniversary Editions) and just realized a fe minutes ago TripleA has a Revised map but my question at last is there any plans to do a formal PC release of the Revised and even Anniversary editions?

As good as TripleA is, the AI is very week. (which they readily acknowledge as the only option is “Easy AI”) Ive longed for a new PC game not only for the new rules but also tougher AI. The AI can never cope with standard strategy “infantry push mech” and is not very sound with dead zone concepts.

Just wanted to see if anything is in the works.

Also if I may, are there any essays or published strategies for the Revised game? I used to love reading Don Rae’s strategies for the Classic game and would like to find something similar for the Revised version. (which i plan to start playing now)

BTW, what do fans prefer Revised or Anniversary? They look much different, what is kinda the default game for fans these days? Is Classic Dead?

Thanks in advance! Glad I stumbled across the site.
