Thank you for responding! Yes, America found this rule and lost a strategic bomber for it.
2 beginner questions
-
Thanks Vance. Would you not recommend an Egypt IC ever then? Seems a shame not to punish Germany for his cheeky G1 buy. Maybe 1 Tank and 1 Mech with 6 Inf if he omits those 2APs on G1 then and opens this way.
-
Sometimes an IC in Egypt is great, but a lot of the time you can do just as well with a transport shuck from South Africa, or if you don’t have enough naval units or an airbase to defend z81, just build tanks and mechs and drive them to Egypt. I would only build an IC in Egypt (or persia?) after the sealion scare has passed (i.e. no transports built on G2).
-
Thanks Vance. Twice when I have played as the Axis my opponent has built an Egyptian IC on UK 1 instead of buying 9 Inf and I have been angered by his impudence and determined to take London. Unfortunately, I was unlucky the 1st time, narrowly failing and we never got to play the 3rd turn on the 2nd occasion, so I did not get to try a Sealion that time.
I wonder if he will resist the temptation to try a 3rd time. (Will not play until December.)
Anyway, this explains my interest in G1 non Transport buys. -
I guess the thing is, Germany doesn’t need all 13 transports to take London if UK doesn’t build all infantry.
-
Sorry for my ignorance but what do these words mean?
AP (transports? AP is for ?)
CV
SBRthanks :D

Hi . AP: Personnel transport ship.
CV : Carrier.
SBR : Strategic Bombing Raid .
Not a problem. Ever. -
Most people on the forums will be using military designations for ships. Sometimes you will see some posters use different ones for the same ship, but you can find a lot of ones listed here: http://www.navweaps.com/index_tech/index_ships_list.htm
AP or TT is common for Transports
CV for Carriers
BB for Battleship
CA for Cruiser
SS for Submarine
DD for DestroyerDid I miss any?
Also you’ll see tanks called “armor”.

it�s me again :D
What does OOL means?Then, I saw that many play TripleA via Forum… How does that work? Do they create 2 separated local games ? how can they imput the exact dice rolls the other person did?
Oh something else… What about buying a harbour in Alaska to be able to reach Tokyo in 1 turn with transports?
-
OOL = Order of loss
-
I have not heard of that ghr. Is it an AAA term. Perhaps you could explain.
-
I send a tank at your bomber and infantry.
I roll 3 and score a hit.
You have to select your casualties… do you take the bomber first? gamble that you’ll hit me back and select the infantry?
That is OOL.
That is Order of Loss.

Thanks Garg. Am happier I now know it is basic A@A!

You set up a PBEM (play by email/forum - it’s an option on TripleA, on the right hand side) game. You need your opponent’s email address. And the games get saved/posted to the forum. Your opponent gets dice rolls emailed to them. Garg has a great TripleA setup tutorial posted. Maybe he can link you to the thread; it got me started easy peasy.
