Hello all, newcomer to the board and…..

  • 2007 AAR League

    @ncscswitch:

    There are folks who use TripleA, which I THINK has the potential for direct “live play” linkage (not 100% sure on that)

    Yep, TripleA supports live play, PBEM, PBF, and play versus someone else using Battlemap, Mapview, physical board.

    @ncscswitch:

    Yes, the Diceys handle both sides of combat. But in cases where you as the defender want control of your losses instead of “standard order of loss” you simply make that clear up front, and then you simply get a “number of hits” result that you assign to specific units before the next round of combat is rolled.

    Just to add to this, it is the attacker who assigns defender casualties while they are rolling the dice, based on Standard Order of Loss (SOL - jk  :-D)

    If the defender wants to micromanage a particular battle, he/she let’s the attacker know ahead of time and then the attacker rolls each round and waits for the defender to specify the losses.

    If the defender wants to micromanage a particular battle, he/she let’s the attacker know ahead of time and then the attacker rolls each round and waits for the defender to specify the losses.

    It´s usually so that the attacker asks what the OOL will be (order of loss) if he/she does something crazy and unexpected.


  • @Death:

    :oops: I’m scared now….

    So do most on here PBEM, or play on CD?

    Fear of the Lord is teh beginning of wisdom.

    ph33r meh!

    I play PBEM with TripleA.  IT’S JUST THAT EASY!

  • Thank you everyone, for the tips. I think I’m ready to get in there. :-D


  • Haha, last question( for now :-P )….

    Does tripleA have the revised version? I’m looking at the screenshots and the map looks different then the game I have( less territories between Germany, and Russia)

    Which Download is the revised?

  • 2007 AAR League

    It has all versions, but you need to press the button “load game” to load the correct game file (revised).

    It´s a bit confusing at first glance.


  • Ok…so I have downloaded TripleA, and I also have the cd-rom version.

    But I can not find a freeware version with the revised map( its the only version I have played)

    Does everyone play the revised rules on the original map?

    And if there is a download to play the redesigned map, can I get a link?

  • 2007 AAR League

    The revised map is contained in your tripleA download.  Nix posted directions on how to load it instead of the classic map:

    @Nix:

    It has all versions, but you need to press the button “load game” to load the correct game file (revised).

    It´s a bit confusing at first glance.

    To verify that you have the revised map, you can browse to the folder that you installed TripleA in (c:\program files\triplea is the default on a windows machine I think), and then browse down through triplea_0_9_0_2\games.  The file revised.xml should be sitting in this folder, which means you already have the revised map, you just need to load it as per Nix’s instructions above.


  • My bad, I thought she meant on the site I DL it from. Thanks

    So…How wants a game?


  • Ok am I missing a new rule? I am attacking Anglo Egypt, On the defenses 1 Arm, 1 Fighter. But it is rolling 3 dice, then after that round I attack again( only the defending Fighter left) and It gets 2 dice rools both hits taking out my 2 remaining attackers( 1 Arm, 1 Inf)

    ?? Do Fighters get to roll a dice for every attacking Piece??

  • 2007 AAR League

    No, Anglo Egypt starts with 1 inf 1 arm 1 fgt.  Hence the extra roll each round of combat.


  • Alright I got it all set, so someone let me know if you would like a game or two :evil:
