How do you get an online dice roller?

The TripleA is a cool game, but it’s a shame that the AI is sooo lame. It really is to easy.
However, it’s great that they included a lot of versions, and a few new ones(at least to me). The Great War scenario looks nice :-D

Well if the play with three people is a  must D-Day and BOTB and Guadalcanal are out. D-Day as US and Brits and Axis but the Brits and US each move as the Allies. BOTB and Guadalcanal are straight up two player games.

I really like BOTB.

I have not played Guadalcanal yet but it seems like fun. D-day and BOTB have reinforcement charts but G’canal allows you to determine your own reinforcements more like the global or entire theatre games.

Frankly it is really apples and oranges s to me but I don’t think I could go back to Classic after Revised.

If you look to the articles or strategies sections from the main page you will find Saburo Sakai’s Pacific essays. Read those and if you are still leaning to Pacific or it seems like it might be boring quickly you will no whether to go with it or research one of the other games.

D-Day is fast. BOTB is a little longer but has combat and movement like none of the other games and the aspect of supply management is great. Too soon to be informative on G’Canal but it seems like logistics will be important if not more so than picking the right fights. These games are best as two player though.

Europe is, I think, closest to Revised and probably best for a three player game. Pacific is cool because of the Victory points and spending 70 or so IPCs every turn with the US and is also three player.

I don’t think you can go wrong with either Europe or Pacific if three player is important to you. Just my $0.02.  :-)

@frimmel:

Although when Bond rolls the double and is staring down Khan he does pick up four men.

I hope this is what you are talking about

to matteooo
when you open battlemap, right click on the mouseholding it down and move to the right, when you do this, the map will move and show the western half of the gameboard……any other questions you may have can be answered in a more timely fashion in you post in the games section under the heading 1 on 1 help with pbem,…pbem means play by e-mail

Maybe you can buy the older A&A game on ebay for a good price (so NOT the revised edition)
you have lots of markers and units in the box, and everything else is practically the same, except you do not get any artillery and destroyers (since they’re new in the last version)

I have had great luck with DAAK.

You do have to sign up for membership, but that is free and easy.  Covers most aspects of a move (buy, combat moves, and combat), has a dispute resolution method, and even allows you to keep track of how you stand against other players based on game outcome.

It also has 3 different rule sets built into it for combat resolution:  Avalon Hill printed manual, LHTR, and LHTR 1.1 (does not yet have 1.2 loaded as an option).
