We had a great time! If anyone is interested in joining us on the weekends email me at t.houghton15@gmail.com and I will add you into our group email. It would be great to get a regular group meetup!

@barnee thanks for the reply! I will look into the triple a forum. I mainly wanted to make sure I understood the rule correctly!

The fact that a BB can take a hit is factored into it’s cost, so it is expected that you would soak up hits with it’s ability. Remember, you paid for that when you purchased it. If you think about it like that then it is sort of like suggesting that it is bad form to hit on a 4 when you attack with a bomber, and reducing it to 3.

If you are playing with new players and are worried that they forgot about this ability and didn’t factor it into their attack plans then I would just remind them before the battle and allow them to adjust their plans if needed.

I would be free to play on the weekends. Send me an email: t.houghton15@gmail.com

I have set up a group email with several users from this thread to get a game going. If you want to be added please email me: t.houghton15@gmail.com and I will add you to it! We are planning on setting some games up!

I have set up a group email with several users from this thread to get a game going. If you want to be added please email me: t.houghton15@gmail.com and I will add you to it! We are planning on setting some games up!

There are a few of us interested in playing, but due to conflicting schedules we are planning on trying to get a game in sometime later this fall, probably around November.  If anyone would like to join we would love to have you, so please email me at t.houghton15@gmail.com.  If I don’t reply fairly quickly just send me a follow up since that means I must have missed the first email.  We have five players that have expressed interest in playing so far, but we are always looking for more since that makes it easier to set up games.  We can always set up multiple games if we have too many for a single game, which would be a great problem to have.  We are also trying to play a few online games of Triple A to get to know each other and stay in touch while our schedules work out to play in person.

Great, I just wanted to make sure I had it set up correctly! Thanks for the quick reply!

Quick question about the play by forum mode of Triple A. I started a game and set all teams to ‘human’

I see that when I am playing the game I select casualties for both teams. Is this normal and are players just expected to select casualties on an honor system basis?

Thanks!!
