ok so i have been playing triplea and your right they all want to use that bid system for the allies so u would think there is a bit of an unblance between allies and axis… the few that keep saying it’s dead even are fine with that statement but why is it 95% of other people say its axis that are a bit stronger … ive done my number crunches and ive come to axis 54.324 and allies 45.676 with wins so it came to me in a dream last night all we have to do is place 1 single unit and it will even this very close too 50% and that is a UK sub in sea zone 35!

RE: Axis too strong??
Ok so we played another game tonight and america never could roll a damn 6 for research after turn 3 with 3 dice…. but anyways what happened was america was non stop building a fleet and so was japan plus japan was taking ground so when america did move towards japan japan sent everything towards america and wiped them out… how does america challange japan without hitting research?

Research and the allies
so playing more games im starting to see research is advantage to allies exspecially heavy bombers or longrange aircraft…is that why research is in the game and heavy bombers? to balance out the axis and allies? it seems like the usa almost has to hit something good down that second chart to get going… what does everyone else think?

Axis too strong??
Ok so we have played a few games and it seems that axis are just too strong. by the time America gets into the war its game over and we have tried taking the states both ways through japan and germany.What can the allies do to stop japan going crazy? and germany doing its thing? UK and America not being on the main board seems the down fall. its too hard to get either onto the main playing field. can anyone help?

For All Lovers of War movies, and war Games!!
Ok Me and my friends love watching good war movies, and loving war games.This is to the people that played Risk and changed the rules 100 times made new units made cards and new maps, and dreamed of a game like AA50. And AA50 has done an amazing job of an awesome all around game but i want the few people like Krieghund and theres a few more of you on this site that need to pull together and make the few last adjustments to the game that need to be done… We all want to play the game with the offical rules but we know tech is broken as of now… so why are we waiting? lets put our heads together and fix it.should battleships have AA guns? should Heavy bombers be able to make such damage? these kind of things lets fix and get the game that AA50 was our dream game as kids when growing up… AA50 Is so close just a few things that people have addressed many times in these post that we need to work on. So please lets all work on this together. Thanks

RE: Are Boats useless against planes?
DY! This is to you! i don;t use just fighters i mainly use bombers! now you go back and do your math with 5 bombers 1 fighter and see what your little number crunch brings. boats never can keep up to the building of planes. you see my little friend Planes as built are taking alot of land per turn and when the other players fleet is ready then just use that turn wipe his fleet out everything that poor sucker has spent and all those turns down the toilet. You will never see UK witha boat in the sea or Germany for that matter. Planes just take them all out.

RE: Tech with planes seems just way to over powered.
Your oppenent isn’t likely to be all that excited about trading fighters and bombers for your subs.

RE: Tech with planes seems just way to over powered.
The enemy won’t want to trade fighters and bombers for subs and therefore won’t attack your fleet to begin with. Subs can’t attack planes thats the problem! you can;t let subs take hits from planes… if they could that would be great!

RE: Updated FAQ Posted
I agree the techs need to be redone. As of now we just don’t play with research… because if you do research something a tech. should give you a bit of an advantage but not game changing, and of now its game ending in alot of cases.But when you guys do redo the tech trees if you do, plz give boats the same advantages as you do with planes. thats all i ask. :-D

RE: Tech with planes seems just way to over powered.
Ok Played another game tonight! and well boats got owned allies tried everything. and my bombers and fighters took over all the waters! then it hit me what if Carriers defended with a 3!! so now you have 14 dollars that buy a carrier and 2 fighters for 20 bucks so 34 dollars to 2 bombers and fighter attacking! same amount of money. You still got battle ships 20bucks but can take a hit but thats = to 2 fighters that roll 2 dice so pretty even, Destroyers cost 8 but only roll a 2, but can take a hit which is good seeing your going to have at least 1 or 2 transports in your fleet that cost you 7 or 14 dollars that dont defend so you have to add that cost into your fleet, so boats even with this still get the bad end of the deal… but its getting better!! But research for planes is out of the question! you add heavy bomber or long range aircraft or jet fighters, then boats dont have a chance! so guys Lets keep the ideas coming so we can make boats an actual part of the game.
Cause once you loose your fleet you aint rebuilding it when axis has 10 bombers ready to attack your new fleet! -
RE: Tech with planes seems just way to over powered.
wodan would you rather navel movement or battleships with aa guns? i think i would rather a AA gun to at least knock downa couple planes

RE: Tech with planes seems just way to over powered.
boats have nothing good against planes thats the problem. Then you have to give battleships AA guns. it’s the only way to give boats a little fighting chance against planes.

RE: Tech with planes seems just way to over powered.
So we played another game last night and all i did was build bombers, a few fighters and inf with germany, US had carriers and destroyers and battle ships and 2 transports, We didnt play with research cause well its just broken ATM This was the problem Carriers cost 14 they defend for 2, 2 fighters defend at 4’s if i attack with 1 fighter 2 bombers its same amount of money but odds are in my favour, let alone the free transports that go down and the other boats. i have around 10 bombers with a few fighters on germany i dont have to worry about gaurding my back land like france cause well there is never any boats. rest of the time my planes and inf are moving up the lines and raid bombing the crap out of everyone.
Now if you add research to all my planes well it’s lights out. Boats as is can’t go up against planes and boats do nothing but transport and odd bombardment… planes Do it all!!! the research should of gone to mainly boats not planes… why would you give the most powerfull unit more power? If all those planes research went to boats you would have a fighting chance at least against planes. Any way as is we just dont build boats… its a loss of over all money. -
RE: Tech with planes seems just way to over powered.
Japan or the usa just builds all bombers and fighters the other wont have boats. they all will be dead.

RE: Tech with planes seems just way to over powered.
Wodan thats not a bad idea cause really super subs are crap for allies anyways, its not like axis are going to build boats. I’m going to talk to the boys and see if they want to make those rule changes, but something has to be changed cause right now any fleet being build trying to excort transports are getting nuked by bombers and fighters.I think the whole research lines should be fixed maybe thats what we should start is a thread for New better research lines and get everyones ideas. i would love for carriers to be able to have 3 fighters on them, and AA guns on battle ships :-o
-
RE: Tech with planes seems just way to over powered.
wodan, that’s totally my problem is that air is already very strong but once you add some techs to them, boats just dont even have a chance, and in all our last games no one will make boats knowing they will loose them all and the loss of 1 or 2 or even 3 transports along with them which is just money that goes down the drain… i would way rather make bombers then boats bombers will kill ships and transports with them for alot less money loss plus when ships arent around your bombers are helping attack land or bomb raids. while all ships really do is try to help escort and protect transports.

Tech with planes seems just way to over powered.
OK so we have been playing non stop and its come down to everyone dumping money into research and building planes and who gets heavy bombers or fighters or long range, pretty much have been winning. and water boats are now never built cause they just die. And there isnt really any research for water units other then subs and lower cost for boats, which both aint great, were thiking of adding a tech tree or changing out some with maybe battle ships get an extra attack against planes or and transports get to defend with a 1 things like these you could go on and on… but then at least water units would be worth building… we also were throwing the idea of making sea areas victory cities as well so you would have to fight for sea squares as well but thats still just an idea… I was just wondering if any other people feel research and planes are over powering the game?
