Hi, I’m really interested in looking into this but I’m not much of a technical wiz - is it easy to install?
Also, can I play the A&A50 version on this system? Is it possible to play against the AI at all? Thanks guys. I can’t reach the links posted from work coz of security. :|
very easy to install
you do have to have Java on your system (but everyone does already or should)(any java version 6, but thats been out for like 10 years, so if you hava java, its probably version 6)
yes there is an AI, two actually, as we have developed a new AI but kept the old one on just in case. they are decent at land campaigns
TripleA, as it is a fully legal version, does not ‘ship’ with any maps that may irk shark-suited lawyers at hasbro or other companies. Just like any other computer game out there in the world, people can make mods for it. The developers of TripleA also do not host any maps themselves. There is an AA50 map/mod out there, though you must download at your own discretion and make sure you own the game in real life, blah blah go ask a lawyer. If hasbro shows up at your door at midnight with some lawyers and baseball bats, and breaks one of your kneecaps for you having AABattleMap of Axis & Allies on your computer, and breaks the other for you having some user-created Axis & Allies maps for TripleA on your computer too, its not my fault and i prohibit you from complaining.
TripleA has a downloading utility that comes with the game, where you can put in the url of a site that hosts maps, and it will list and allow you to download them.
Just open up the game, click download maps, put this link in, and press list maps:

I have no need of worry then. After all, Hasbro has not idea of that Spain exists or where is it (zero A&A games translated to spanish and I had to import the game), so no way of pesky lawyers finding way to my home! :mrgreen:
Dude, they even think all Andalucia is a british colony! Just check how big is Gibraltar in A&A maps! :lol:
Thanks very much Veqryn. :-) I do have Java installed already and so I will check out the TripleA when I get home tonight. I’m a bit confused about what you said about owning the game and getting a lawyer though? Sorry to appear dense but can you please explain the procedure in a little more detail? I would be very grateful, and I obviously don’t want to get into legal difficulties…. thanks again.
it was an inside joke
just get the game
so where can i find this aa50 map for triplea?
Thanks
The latest version has a download maps function.
I still need to enter a URL in the download maps function? what URL do I enter?
Your above URL provided does not work :(
OK I saw a different URL that had SOME maps, but still no AA50 :S
Yikes It’s almost 4 am, but I figured it all out. Thanks but no thanks, please excuse my spams.
Gargantua - how did you get it to work? I’ve spent ages looking for a AA50 map to download but can’t find it anywhere. On the wiki it won’t even give me a URL to download it, saying its included in Triple A, which it clearly isn’t. Can anyone help?
Thanks and great news!! I’m gonna try to download it later. :-)

Try joining the lobby server, there’s a lot of help there in the lobby notes. Maps work fine.
Cool, Thanks.
The answer to my question - open AAA, click download maps, then select copy in http://sites.google.com/site/tripleawarclub/tripleawarmaps.xml
WW2v3 should be the one you’re after.
Has anyone made a map yet for AA40 Pacific (or Europe) yet for TripA?
yes, but it runs on AA50 type rules until we can finish coding the rules for Pac40
(so naval & air bases do not work, escorts and interceptors do not work, declarations of war do not work, those are the big ones.)
it will probably take some months to get it working as pac40
I haven’t been able to run a single game in Triple A without it crashing or having an error report come up on me. Should i remove any other Triple versions i have, namely the 1.0.3.4. Would like to get some feedback on this, not sure why it keeps popping up errors on me. I did download some maps from the website but they still come up with errors after like 2 factions have their turn in 1 round.
first off, what version are you playing? 1.2.1 has errors with the “moore ai”. Please try playing against the Easy AI or humans instead.
second, I would say go delete ALL the map files, then redownload them from http://sites.google.com/site/tripleaerniebommel/home/mods/TripleA_Quality_Mods_EB.xml
to delete all your map files, go to C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\triplea\maps\
if you are still having problems, post a copy of the java errors.
Been playing with the Moore AI and if that is the case then problem will be solved, thanks a million dude.
