Why is the Hasbro Interactive computer opponent so weak?

Hey guys, could someone point me to the site that I can acquire the patch for the '98 version. Love Triple A but still want to play my old ver of A&A . thanks for your help

After reading a few of these comments. I feel outdated for having played the 98 Hasbro game within the past few months.

thx everyone for your support.

I’ve made up my mind to get the game.

From the sounds of it, most folks are using a newer PC version of A&A.  For those using the Hasbro version, a few glitches you should be aware of.

1.  Computer playing Germany invariably invades Egypt with Libya tank/INF AND transported INF from Southern.  IF the UK sub sinks the transport, ALL 3 GERMAN INF disapear, leaving only the tank to fight in Egypt.

2.  Computer playing Russia, if Germany has land forces in Caucuses and Russia holds Karelia, the combined Karelia/Russia AA will kill TWICE as many aircraft (and ALWAYS the bomber) as they should if German AF is used to support an attack on Russia in G2.  I have tried this move on MANY occasions with up to 4 figs and a bomber supporting 2 INF against a lightly defended Russia.  I end up with 1 or 2 figs left (usually 1), regardless of the number of aircraft sent.

3.  Carrier aircraft recovery.  If you “forget” to land any fighters in the non-combat phase and click “done”, and then try to land airborn fighters on a carrier when the PC prompts you that you have to land aircraft, any and all fighters designated to land on carriers will CRASH and be lost.  Only solution is to “time machine” back to non-combat phase and re-do ALL non-combat moves and land fighters before clicking “done”

Do you have Iron Blitz? If so try the 1939a scenario as the Axis. It should give you a bit more of a challenge.

I would be all for it as I believe I could have been the biggest Command & Conquer junkie out there back in the day. It will remove some of the stratagy from the game, and I would be interested to see what they do with the units as in I would assume instead of America having just P-51’s and B-29’s there would be different fighters to buy at various cost levels, that could be cool. I guess it will all depend on the vision of the group putting this out, can’t wait for the first beta copy :D

@fixitman:

triumph, i am interested in the Dogs of War game you mentioned, anyway i can get ahold of it?
i used to have the computer version of a+a, but i lost it in a move somewhere, and have very little $$ for buying a new copy :(

I sent you a private message regarding it. I didn’t know if the email address you typed really is “earthling.net” or if you meant “earthlink.net”. :) hehe Enjoy.

Sadly, the v133 patch does not fix everything and there are still a lot logical errors to be dealt with. For instance, for some reason I can still have more than one AA gun in the same territory. It is not these errors that enrage me (anybody can avoid these problems by just not performing them), but the horrid AI in the game and the sudden crashes (the later being somewhat corrected in v133).
