heh heh I thought the same thing when I first saw it. If it makes you feel better : )

V,

Please dont take those “f–- off’s” by some as a voice from AAWC. The War Zone serve used by those playing in AAWC on the Hasbro CD is not owned by AAWC. The War Zone server is owned and controlled by a privet party (i believe someone from the Risk Lobby).

We can not control who comes into the War Zone, only those allowed to be members of the AAWC club. There are several players in the War Zone who are not active members of AAWC.

I will post my comments on the thread you posted, thank you for all you do.

Sincerely,

The AA50 ladder is now up and running at TripleA War Club.

http://www.tripleawarclub.org/modules/comp/

The ladder is a rankings system, or an ongoing competition, using the TripleA program.  Ladder games are played on the lobby or via PBEM.

To join up, get an account with TripleA War Club and register for the ladder.

Each ladder match is a 2-game series, with each playing both Axis and Allies.

Like the Revised ladder, which used a set 9 bid, there is a set bid for the Allies in AA50.

41 low luck=11 bid
41 dice=8 bid
42 dice and ll=9 bid

Since every match is a 2-game series, the Ladder competition will soon provide reliable statistics on bids and game outcomes.

There are a wide variety of skill sets competing on the ladder…from novice to expert.

Sign up and check it out!

Thanks for the link.  :-)

I wanted to start a forum where we could suggest some new functionality to tripleA to the developers. I know you guys are busy, but I thought it would be nice to give some ideas your users have.

Here are some I had:

If you click on a territory you can set up “options” for it. Some people might have ideas for more, but one option I would like to see is changing the default causulities for PBEM games. It could be “Offensive Mode”: It will take allies that are in the territory as casulties before taking the owner of the territory’s units as causalities. I think this is the way the game is by default. “Defensive Mode” it will take infantry first, artillery…etc. and ignore which country owns the unit. The last units that will be taken are aircraft then. It will keep the defense value of the territory high for as long as possible.

I was wondering if there was a way to store game files online (like google documents) so that people could play without actually having to email game files to each other. I think there could be other advantages to this. You would not need to have all the battle results emailed to you to keep track of battles. There could be a log file that is attached to the file that is stored online.

If anybody has anything else to add please do…

@captainjack:

Does anyone know if a triplea version of RISK has been made?
Thanks.

Probably not, but there is a RISK version available for free for Linux, so I guess there must be a version for windows also, just do a google search.
