When you do a combined bombing run in what order are TripleA asking for what target you want your aircrafts to bomb?
I just tried the bombing run on London on the G2 turn that Mistergreen is asking about using the local game option. Two questions come up, the first is I can’t tell which bomber is being assigned to a target. I went with assigning the first two to the factory, the second two to the airbase, and the last pair to the harbor. Will TripleA default to always asking for the heavy bombers first? For the third through sixth bombers which were tactical bombers, it gave the option of bombing the factory. I thought tac bombers were restricted to naval and air facilities. Last, TripleA groups all the antiaircraft fire together (factory, naval, and air) and then asks to choose targets. Maybe I’m misunderstanding how the AA fire works, I thought the hits were restricted to the planes attacking the facility being bombed. I was expecting to see three small AA battles so that the casualties were tied to facility being attacked. Instead, TripleA lets the attacking player choose to hit whatever planes are cheapest.
I tried two more options to see what Triple A would do. Yes, it allows tac bombers to hit factories but without the +2 bonus. Also, due to great luck for the british in the local game mode, their AA fire showed me that you can’t tell which tac bombers you are taking as casualties. Thus, if the UK AA rolls three hits and you kill three of the four tac bombers, there’s no way to tell if the surviving bomber is going after the air base or the harbor.
One way to fix this might just be to change the order of play. Do the AA fire, take casualties, then allocate the surviving bombers to their targets.

Allowing tacs to hit is a known issue. Refer to this for info on triplea http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=26989.0
5. Know the rules! Don’t let your tactical bombers raid factories, don’t move through neutrals the turn you conquer them, etc.
I think changing the programming to make it several smaller battles and give info on which planes are hitting what is probably a better option then what you suggest. What happens if say you need to knock out a naval base to prevent an enemy fleet from reaching an important target and you’re also hitting the AB as a target of opportunity or vice versa? Much better to make the attacker commit before casualties then choose afterwards what he can use to hit what.
I went back and checked the Alpha 3 bombing. Attacker chooses the AA casualties so my memory is bad as usual and TripleA is right.
GAME RESULT :
Game 12
17. The Headless Neds (Allies)-(Stalingradski + Antholin + Infrastructure)

jim010 and Stirling need a new opponent, I think. Wrath seems to have moved on?
Well I guess you can consider that a win? lol.

I suppose.
He used an opening similar to Mistergreen’s. I was curious as to whether he was going to follow that opening or if he had a variation. I quite liked Mistergreen’s opening.
Meglomaniacs (jim010 and Stirling) vs Wrath 3
Meglomaniacs win by default. Game over on G1.
So who do we play now?
Give me a day or so to post an excel spreadsheet showing the brackets.
So who do we play now?
Maybe me, Garg and Satinpurple? ROC just quit because he has no partner.
