@Channel_Three

Here you can download TripleA (https://triplea-game.org/) which is a program that allows you to play online, trough pbem or just local (vs AI or friends that come over, without having to actually put up the board, fast and easy gameplay). I dont think you’ll find many players that are willing to play like you suggest, but hopefully for you there are some around. I suggest you try online gaming tough, because there is always someone around that is ready to play at any given time of the day.

I hope you have fun playing and learn lots of new strategies and such. Btw with that program you can play almost any game there is available on the A&A genre and also other games like NWO, Domination, LOTR and much more. Good luck and have fun!

@magnum

I read you only play ftf games? Have you ever heard of Triplea? This is a pc program which offers you a lot of gameplay. Like for instance play by email or trough this forum or even online (which seems like you are playing ftf if your friend and you join the same room (bot). This program also makes life much easier for you. I read you use a Excel sheet, well this program does everything for you. Keeping track of purchase phase, combat movement, combat, non combat movement etc.

I really suggest you download it and try it out. You can find the program here:

Hi,

Nice to meet ya! Yes, we all seem to have had the same struggle in our youth, finding a opponent wasnt easy. Luckily online there are many players, from all over the world. I am from the Netherlands.

Well its important to have TripleA installed, you can find it online: https://triplea-game.org/download/

Perhaps there are some new versions of it, so always check with your opponent which version he is using, otherwise you are probably not compatible.

You can play trough PBEM (which stands for Play By Email) or online (large community) or trough the forum (this site). You can also play vs a AI, its nice to play against, but its not that developed yet. But for training purpose it will do, in order to learn a map you havent played much yet.

Well good luck and have fun playing! Hope youll enjoy it and have fun!

@wizmark

Well I hope you do still enjoy playing the game, altough life is harder for you because of my strategy…

Really, is ‘Zombies’ not realistic ;) Just kidding of course Macgee :grin:

@Bismillah

Here you can download TripleA (https://triplea-game.org/), which allows you to play every version of the boardgames there are, also other types of boardgames. You can play local (vs computer) or pbem (play by mail) or online (large community).

@wizmark

You as a English men should know that who ever rules the seas (waves) rules the world ;)

@josh-lucky13

I remember that old computer game, fun to play when there was no one around to play the boardgame with, but like you say it was very easy to beat the AI.

The AI in this program is better, it also has different settings as you’ve probably seen. But playing vs a human opponent, especially online, will boost your skill level exponentially.

Personally I think you might like the Global 40 second edition. This game is the next generation of A&A boardgames. It has a lot of new features and even politics.

Well good luck and have fun playing. Perhaps we will play each other one day.

@Bismillah

You are very welcome!! Always nice to have some fresh blood joining the online community. Just a headsup, the computer is fun to play, but youll soon find out that there is much to learn as you play vs online gamers. Most of them are very experienced. The best of luck and have fun playing.

Ok, then it was a mistake of mine with the casualties I choose. Important lesson learned then!

Then you have no more attacking units left, or are you withdrawing?

Lol, grappige verbastering van het woord ijskonijn :)

Ik weet niet welke spelen je inmiddels speelt, heb zelf ook vroeger veel de classic gespeeld, echter ik ben overgestapt op nieuwere en grotere edities, zoals Global 40 2nd edition of World at War.

Succes met spelen, mocht je via deze site gaan spelen, dan duurt het soms wel even voordat je reacties gaat krijgen, zowel in het vinden van een tegenstander als gedurende het spel zelf.

Daarom zou je als alternatief ook online kunnen gaan spelen via het TripleA programma.

Mocht je dit programma nog niet hebben, dan kun je het hier downloaden:
