GARGANTUA's K.I.S.S. TripleA Instructions

@Black_Elk Great, that’s exactly what I had in mind ;)

I think it is possible to find what is the exact minimal ratio to minimize the empty space on the right. And I already have some ideas on what to put there. It’s great how sometimes technical constrains give you the opportunity to develop nice stuff!

Out of disk space on the server.

The consensus is that we’re wrong.

I’m not whining about the dice. It works both ways.

I remember rolling like 18 tanks @3 by hand (Germany stack just inside Russia) and getting like 3 or 4 hits in a table top game 1st roll (don’t remember the exact amount but it was pathetically below average). My stack was defending. I messed up where I placed it. It was against a guy with a screen name of Jonathan Rost (playing the Global 1942 setup).

I lost that game due partly due to that ridiculous outcome (probably would have lost it anyways, Jonathan is really good). Anyways, I understand that outliers occur. HOWEVER, they occur way too often it seems in triplea. However, I’m often I’m a benefactor.

So, it’s good to keep in mind that outlier outcomes, like 4 infantry rolling 4 defense hits 1st round while a stack of planes throws a miss, does happen; but it happens for both sides.

I do believe that AAA hit more than 1/6 overall against bombing runs.

Have a writing talent that you would like to put to work? Or would like to contribute to TripleA but don’t know how?

We are drafting an idea for a TripleA blog. As the website admin, I am responsible for lining up some authors. I know that A&A.org has a great blog, and we thought that launching a blog devoted to TripleA would nicely cap the successful development of the new TripleA website, which will be official as of version 1.8.0.10. Potential topics for post may include:

Strategy for any of the TripleA maps, including WWII

Map design tips and tricks

Challenges and Tournaments

Showcasing a “Game of the Month”

Announcements

Most other TripleA related content (I am the editor, so I will moderate.)

Please post below if you would like to commit to writing a few articles a month, or even commit to contribution, in any form. We are looking for contributors, and are looking for anyone who would like to volunteer. If we get enough volunteers, the plan will go though. Please feel free to ask any questions below.

ps. New Game below… Here USA bid the carrier 2 tanks 2 fighters 1 art.

In under the wire. One last match vs the Machine before the month is out haha! Good old revised

Again with USA +50, LL no tech, no sbr vs skynet, since the machine doesn’t know how to retaliate yet hehe. (This allows for some interesting AAgun options against the AI, since you don’t have to cover vs SBR like you would against a human.) Opted for a Germany focus this time with a Kriegsmarine expansion.
:-D

Straight through again since I had a few hours tonight. Shaved off a round, this time sweeping the map in the 15th.
Axis total victory. Total Domination
:evil:

Elk vs TripleAI Revised US+50 Axis total domination G16.tsvg

okay thanks….I noticed it said I rolled a 3 and did 3 damage not 1+2. Thanks for the quick response.

TripleA 1.3.2.2 Stable has been released (July 23rd, 2011), download it here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/triplea/files/

direct link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/triplea/files/TripleA/1_3_2_2/

Maps were updated on July 9th 2011, so please redownload your maps if you haven’t already (especially any ww2v3 style maps)  (repairing and some techs won’t work unless you redownload your maps)

Changes from 1.2.5.5 to 1.3.2.2

All known bugs in 1.2.5.5 are fixed. Major improvements to the AIs, especially to Moore AI. A new AI added, Dynamix, which is land only for now, but still being worked on. 4 new maps added, now TripleA comes with 11 games. More help for new users, including tool tips for unit stats and abilities. Massive expansion in the options and customizing of games. Many new options which allow modders to make their own board games, and their own rules and gameplay. Partial support for Axis and Allies 1940 games. Pacific 1940 is 80% done, while Global is 40% done.  This is still being worked on of course.

thanks,

I should mention that Revised, Spring 1942, and the 50th Anniversary Edition look beautiful on this release!  Come give TripleA a try….

For those of you who do not know, TripleA is a game engine for playing A&A and similar games online, both for Live games and PBEM.  It also has single player against 3 different AIs, and Hotseat mode.  There are regularly 20-60 people in the online lobby, and lots more people play custom games and really big maps by PBEM.  
:mrgreen:

As for the NO’s and such, just this Thursday the developer announced he had an anlpha release ready, and they are testing it.
He expects a Beta this week.
(However, sligth problem, tripleadev.org went down yesterday….)

And Jen…it’s kinda cheap to knock on TripleA being it’s 10th release, where Battlemap is only at .87 or whatvere.
What do you think? Battlemap is a picture, and other small pictures that you need to drag around yourself.
TripleA actually incorporates an entire game engine.

Let me see you do that in one release…
