Veteran A&A player - Need opponent to get started with a TripleA game!

@Hobbes: Hm? I’ve been playing triplea for quite a while and I’ve never seen that option available (especially considering how easy it would allow to change a saved game…). Are you sure you’re taking of triplea or of that other mapping util? (map view? I dont use so I’m not sure of the name) Yes, this is TripleA.  It’s a hacked version, based on the 0.8.2.2 kernel.  Which is why ppl running newer version don’t have these features (the hack is only compatible with the old kernel). The good news is that tonez has been working on rolling these hack changes into the sourceforge project for tripleA, so future versions should all have these features, and we shouldn’t have this situations where some people are running incompatible versions.  Unfortunately, it takes time, which is the only reason it’s not already done. Once the new (unstable) release comes out, it should have these features (plus a few more).  At least I hope it will.

@HolKann: WTF a Russian carrier?? (referring to that 2nd link) The russian AC saved the day and the Allies won the match…

@ncscswitch: To get THAT much Japan hardware in range of the US for J2 would mandate that Japan was effectively going KUSA, with commensurate loss of income in Asia. Not really. 7 Infantry, 2 Fighters attack China with the two fighters coming from Manchuria and FIC.  These fighters can land in Japan. 3 Fighters, Battleship, Carrier, Destroyer, Submarine, Bomber attack SZ 52 Fighter, Infantry, Armor attack Hawaii 2 Fighters from the SZ 52 battle can land in SZ 45 on the carrier and battleship from SZ 37 now, without building a darn thing you already have: 2 Battleships 2 Carriers 6 Fighters 1 Transport 1 Destroyer 1 Submarine* (If it was not lost) vs 1 Battleship 1 Transport 1 Destroyer 3 Fighters (Assumes the fighter was lost in Hawaii) 2 Aircraft Carriers I did not give up anything in Asia, but I did station everything in range of America.  The transport in SZ 52 can easily pick up units in Solomons to attack Australia with two bombardments if I don’t need them. Or, don’t attack Hawaii and add 1 fighter to the defensive forces, but don’t risk losing your infantry and armor in the process. Odds: Attacker: 2 Battleships, 2 Carriers, Transport, Submarine, Destroyer, 6 Fighters (2 Fighters in SZ 52 can attack and land back on Wake), Bomber (assumed stationed at Wake where it can again land) Defender: Battleship, 2 Carriers, Transport, Destroyer, 4 Fighters (note, this does not take into account any builds for Japan that may or may not be in range of SZ 55.) I have the Japanese winning over 99% of the time with losses of transport, submarine, 2 fighters.  I believe that is a rather good trading position for Japan.

For those of you that wants to play Axis & Allies Revised over the internet, the easiest way to find opponents is to sign up at http://tripleawarclub.org/ The games are played using triplea, which can be downloaded at http://triplea.sourceforge.net/

And yes, I know you can vote for May already… (I believe this poll will run in May as well, as far as I know…)

In-site dicey is not an option with TripleA.  And THAT is a b*tch to try to do with TripleA.

If you’re going to use the US as your trading country, then make sure you have a good transport system in place. Get a 4x4 going on. Four transports from Ecan to UK, and UK to EEU (preferably) or Kar. And buy a fighter EVERY round so you can fly it to Russia. Do the same with the UK. Buy a fighter every round and fly it to Russia. Get a good fighter cover going, have Russia buy infantry out the wazoo (and an armour every now and then) and continually wear Germany down.

Apart from the brits leaving the frenchies to the wolves i havnt seen anything to out of the ordinary. i broke the axis with Rome as they invaded albania (no point getting involved with a drowning man  )
