Axis and allies update 1.3.3

[Guest]

I am looking to play axis and allies on the msn gaming zone and it keeps telling me that I need an updated version. Hasbro (Avalon) no longer has the update for this software and I am wondering where I can get it. Please post or e-mail me at dtmellis@hotmail.com with a solution.

Avalon Hill’s website wouldn’t have it, they don’t amke computer games. Did you try hasbro interactive’s web site?

They have it here:

I have a question with A&A: Iron Blitz. I been playtesting my USA/UK strategy but there’s one major problem. Whenever I try to land my Soviet Planes on the UK AC on the second turn, they end up showing up in Eastern Canada and the end of my turn. Any way to correct this? Is this a game bug or is it this particular game?

[Yanny]

Iron Blitz is a very poorly made, buggy game.

I tried applying the 1.13 patch to the Iron Blitz but it won’t work. Should I just stick with the original for my gaming needs?

I updated to Axis & Allies version 1.33 but I still can’t play multiplayer. I can host a game but no one can join it.

[TG Moses VI]

Yeah, I also seem to be having that problem.

Either of you guys using DSL router/hubs such as a Linksys?

[TG Moses VI]

Sorry don’t have DSL. I haven’t tried to play A&A online for many months, so it’s not exactly on my list of Priorities

[EmuGod]

I’m using cable internet form Rogers in Canada. Might that be the problem?

[Ansbach]

No, it’s not what I’m thinking then. There is a specific problem you have to address if you are using a firewall/router. Sorry I’m not more help!

[TG Moses VI]

I think that the firewall might just be the problem.

[EmuGod]

Nope, I don’t have a firewall so it must be something else.

[TG Moses VI]

Well you have to wonder, “is this really worth all my time?” After numerous failed attempts with other faulty online games, most of the time it’s not.

[EmuGod]

I don’t have the board game and have never played against a human opponent, so I guess I haven’t actually had a worthy adversary since the computer player has about as much intelligence as a well made tofu. That kind of makes me want to keep on trying to get it to work. I would e-mail Hasbro, but they don’t exist anymore…

emugod, thats the best description of the games ai ive ever heard!

[EmuGod]

It’s very true. Yesterday I played on hard mode as Japan and withn half an hour I got an IPC victory.

[TG Moses VI]

Ha, in A&A, I took over Russia with Germany on the second turn! Ending up EV winning on the 4th, since the Japanese (AI controlled) player couldn’t figure how to attack on the first turn.
