    2022 2021

    About 10 years ago I downloaded TripleA and played 2 or 3 games over email at TripleA War Club. Enjoyed it, but left it at that. Got TripleA again, found this site, and had a blast since then.

    • RE: 🎖 Axis & Allies .org 2021 Support Drive

      @djensen

      Any benefits of patronage would be nice, but it was the badges which worked for me 🏆 . I saw them on forum posts, which led me to the donation page and consequently I felt like I should make a donation. Maybe some people would pay for removing ads but I don’t find them too intrusive on the forums.

      To be honest A&A, this website, TripleA and the A&A community are way better than any startegy game I’ve purchased. I’m totally hooked! Hopefully more new people will find it and then become paid up members too.

    • RE: What are some good strategies for newer players?

      Yeah, the Allied strategy is hard to prescribe as the Axis decide the direction the game goes, best way is to just get some games under the belt. I have some sugestions, based on the few games I’ve played, which are hopefully are easy to follow. I’m not very experienced though, so these tips may be sub-optimal.

      Russia:
      1 Avoid losing units, focus on gradually pulling back and defending Moscow.
      2 Build defensively (infantry, maybe mechanised infantry in Leningrad so they can get back to Moscow when needed).
      3 Pull infantry back from the far east and try to keep Moscow until they arrive.

      US:
      1 Put most of your IPCs into the Europe side.
      2 Get transports shuttling troops across to Morocco and have enough navy to protect them. Push the Italians out of North Africa.
      3 Threaten landings on mainland Europe to force Germany to spend defensively and ease the pressure on Russia.

      China:
      1 Be careful of leaving units in range of Japan’s air units, and be sure to protect your one fighter.
      2 Take out any Japanese land units you reasonably can, they are hard for Japan to replace initially, but focus on staying alive for as long as you can.

      UK:
      1 Try to deny Italy income. Attack Italy’s African territories where reasonable (e.g. Ethiopia), and stop it from getting objectives.
      2 Concentrate whatever navy remains after German and Japanese attacks, try to get control of the Atlantic and Med to help move troops.
      3 Keep hold of key territories (e.g. Egypt and India) and if you push out from these be wary of being outflanked by transports and losing them.

      ANZAC:
      1 Your income is limited, if possible grab an objective or one of the Dutch East Indies to boost it.
      2 If Japan comes after you early then defend as long as you can as it keeps their ships and planes out of position.
      3 Otherwise annoy them as much as possible, keep grabbing Dutch East Indies islands and forcing them to invest units in takling them back.

      France:
      1 Stay out of the way and enjoy the ride!

      If you are playing a VC game then keep an eye on the VC count, if Moscow falls make sure to hold Egypt, if India falls make sure to hold Sydney and Hawaii.

      I’ve not blocked someone so not sure what the affect would be, but I would assume that you wouldn’t see their posts anymore.

    • RE: Favorite Attack Spots for Allies?

      @tincanofthesea Like you say, it is highly situational.

      However, my preference is for Normandy, if I can make it stick (no point if Germany can counter attack successfully). It can be continually reinforced through the Channel and draws Germany into a big second front so helping Russia whcih is the main goal.

      If I’m short on reinforcements but long on time then Norway is a nice option, hard for Germany to counter attack and the US can drop an mIC on there and maybe Finland too for building up forces directly in Europe.

      S.Italy is good if a VC is needed quickly and Italy hasn’t been able to build up too many trooops there, but I find I get get bottled up there by the Germans easily or at least struggle to breakout (with N.Italy becoming a deadzone).

      Obviously a snekay UK taking Germany after the US opens up the Danish strait is always something to look out for and threatening it does keep the Germans honest with having to defend Denamrk or Germany.

      For the Pacific, the Caroline Islands are nice if you can get them as from there you can threaten landing everywhere from FIC up to Japan. It can also be attacked from a lot of places to so have to watch out it isn’t an ambush…

    • RE: advice or up for a game?

      @colonel_sanders
      You could check out the league we have on this website - https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/29/league

      A wide range of players, from the elite to the cannon fodder. As simply as posting a request for a game here to get started - https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/30809/find-league-opponents-thread/1154

      There are three TripleA maps played in the league:

      • World War II Global 1940 2nd Edition (standard, out of the box rules)
      • World War II Global 1940 Balanced Mod3 (https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/27451/g40-balance-mod-rules-and-download)
      • WW2 Path to Victory (https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/35323/ww2-path-to-victory-rules-discussion)

      The games are competitive but friendly and full of advice and dicussions on tactics, as well as regularly updated standings and end-of-year playoffs. If you fancy playing any of those games then it is the place to do it. Send me a chat message if you want help getting involved, I’m not a high ranked player but happy to give you a game to get you started.

    • RE: Patron perks, redux

      I like the idea of a signature. Could be fun and another way to personalise posts. Seems a nice incentive to go silver/gold and then stay there to keep it.

    • RE: 👋 Introduce or Re-Introduce Yourself (Current)

      Hi, I’m Dave. A big hello from here in England to everybody.

      Used to play a lot of Risk with my friends when we were younger, one of whom would try to talk us into playing a game called Axis and Allies but we always just stuck to Risk. Can’t remember why, but about 10 years ago I downloaded TripleA and played 2 or 3 games over email at TripleA War Club (which seems to have gone now). Enjoyed it, but for whatever reason left it at that.

      It popped back into my head again recently and I thought it might fit in well amongst family commitments and flexible working (I’ve always been a sucker for a good strategy game). Got TripleA again, found this site, and I’m now playing a few games (mostly Global 40 2nd Ed) on these forums and thoroughly enjoying it. A lot to learn, but I’ve found this community to be very helpful and these forums easy to use and a great resource.

    • RE: Bismarck or Taranto?

      @MarshmallowofWar @squirecam @TheDesertFox
      As an inexperienced player, it’s been really interesting tracking this debate and hearing about different players’ thoughts on what to do with the UK and Italy in the Med. Whilst there are bigger battles going on in other theatres, control of this theatre does feel like it is critical to how the mid/late game goes on the Europe board.

    • RE: L22 PtV max334 (Axis+7) vs FlyingBadger (Allies)

      I assumed no scramble by Japan or Germany, obviously your choice to redo, reroll, etc…
      Forgot to retreat the Chinese fighter which fortunately didn’t then die 😓

      Thanks, you played well but the bombers were invincible, they levelled Moscow and then their range dominated Europe. The Russian AAA and interceptors were terrible, not much more you can do other than pray for rolling a 1 🙏 🎲 🛬 💥.

      Very happy to have a rematch, same bid and switch sides?

      No problem.

      The Russians are conducting a special military operation in Korea and Manchuria, nothing you need to worry about.
