2. UNDERSTAND that once someone has setup a forum thread and a game is started, that all the information you need is READY, and that doing this is easy
3. To Play a game that is already started… go to the thread it’s started in. FOR EXAMPLE Click the link to a game of mine below
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27051.0
4. scroll down to the THIRD post, you will see at the bottom a link that reads triplea_27051.0_G1.tsvg Click on that file!
5. Once you’ve clicked on the file, it will ask you to save it to your computer do this,
- Save it anywhere you want, but the DEFAULT folder tripleA loads games from is c:\users\yourname\triplea\savedgames, If you get lost here, just take your time, try saving the file to your desktop if it makes your life easer.
6. Start up TripleA
7. Click LOAD SAVED GAME
-Find the game you just downloaded, and click open
8. Click Start PBEM (Play-By-Email/Forum) Game
9. Where it says PLAY BY FORUM, there is a box beside Post To Forum: Click the box and select AA.org in the list
10. Type in your username, and your password
11. Click PLAY, and go through your turn
12. at the end of your turn, click POST TURN SUMMARY
IF you have to stop at ANY point in the game, for ANY reason, you can always SAVE IT FOR LATER
