Searching for a TripleA partner for Gargantua's tournament

[U-505]

I am tripleA challenged. I had to use the online help just to load the maps and when I pressed the PBEM button a box with a whole bunch of fields for e-mail addresses and such popped up which scared me so I closed it and never touched that button again. That should give a general idea of where I stand with tripleA.

I have also never played Global.But, I am solid with AA50, though.

So if you’re looking for a teammate that will weigh you down, I’m your man. Join me. Carry the team. You’ll look like a stud.

The best advice is the world about TripleA…

YOU CAN’T BREAK IT, AND IT WON’T BREAK YOUR COMPUTER

just keep trying until you get it to work.  Looks like we need a video.  :)  I’ll work on something as soon as possible, or if someone else can.

If you are having problems, PM me, I will give you my phone number - as the official HELP line.

i’m interested too.

addicted G40 A3 ftf player, will play face to face games till i get the shakes (or till i think i might be pissing my wife off by coming home at 5 am) and i’ve dinked around with tripleA when the AA50 was the game to play but i have never played by forum/email but did play online witht eh AA50 long ago…so…am i a noob in search of a tripleA vet or am i just like an E-2 or something?

oh, yes, might need to have someone walk me through the play by email tab in the game…i had teh same reaction when the windo with all the email options and stuff popped up…i closed it cuzz i had no idea what to do with it (and was too lazy to read how to do it).

also…something i have wondered about playingg by email…how do i know that my enemy doesnt reroll all the battels until he (she) ets the results they want and than emails me for my turn?

Alright, interested in being my teammate in the tournament?

[builder_chris2]

yea. I’m in…But…again…I’m not sure how to do the PBF (or PBEmail).  We might want to try playing each other between now and tournament start; to understand how it works and to see how the other plays.  I may be addicted to this G40 game, but you may not like my play style…would hate to piss you off when cash is on the line.

Chris, don’t worry I’ll bring you and anyone else at the gameday who’s interested up to speed. I plan on bringing my laptop with me tomorrow so I can show people what triplea is all about.

[builder_chris2]

I’ll sign up as tripleA veteran. I’ve played lots of AA50 but had about a year break and after I reconnected with aa.org I have (including still running games) played around ten games of global. A little less than a week ago I may have sneaked in as a tripleA newbie but at the moment I got three games going.

Btw in case I fails to latch on to a newbie, what exactly are the definition of a newbie?  :evil:

[Gargantua]

“newbie” is a maliable “guideline”.  As long the effort to include new"er" players is made, it’s all good.

Understanding the -spirit- of the concept of the tournament is what matters.  That’s explain under the PURPOSE of the tournment, where it is posted.

[Mistergreen]

Since the idea was to get new players to play TripleA and I was allready hooked I deemed myself a non-newbie not so much due to experience but to level of attachment to triplea.  :-)

Yo Bunnies!

I have not conversed or played with you before but I have read a few of your posts and you seem to know what you’re talking about at least as much as the rest of these assholes! And you are a pretty active member of the community.

I am fairly new to TripleA. One game of Great-war completed where I got completely owned and one game of 1942 in progress where I am currently pushing my boot ever harder onto the throat of none other than GARGANTUA! (Yeah buddy, I know you’ll read this.  :evil:) However, I am not new to AA or Global (at least an as much as you can be semi-experienced in a game that takes 7 hours min.) I’ve got an ear or two on m AA belt but I’m no absoloute pro. Feel like fighting from the same corner?

Let me know.

[questioneer]

Add me to the list- I’ve played TripleA about 4 times now- pretty functional at it now.

I’ve played the Final Alpha about 7-8 times. (Other Alphas several times).

Someone pick me up!!!  I don’t care as long as you don’t suck at AA. :wink:

[djensen]

We’re going to be called Unterhund-505/47

[Clyde85]

Ok, I need a teammate, or I’m going to force my buddy to join the forum and be my teammate but that seems kinda lame to me

[Canuck12]

Yo questioneer buddy. You got here 1 hour too late. I have already propositioned bunnies but if he is not down make me first in line to team up and take over the world with. I remember you from all of those rediculous rounds of Alpha testing. We all thank you for your work on that. Are you happy with the final result after all?

I’m asking another, but if your partner and my partner reject us then we’ll play together…wait…that doesn’t sound right. :lol:

Am I happy with the final result???  Yes, definitely.  After playing the Final a few times, it seems there is a lot of playable strategies:

Sealion is possible but doesn’t guarantee you the game,
Russia’s Comme NatObj is really effective in Scandinavia, MidEast and Africa not just the Eastern Front,
Mongolia rule is wacky but it works great,
several gambits for Axis include a G1, G2, J1, J2 moves in different combos. 
Mediterrean is always interesting.
A lot of action everywhere on the board it seems, there is no one linear strategy like Classic, Revised or AA50 IMHO.

I find this game is very fluid with plenty of play everywhere on the board.  Finest edition ever IMHO.  Very pleased. :-)
