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

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”

The TripleA version may or may not be nice.  Due to low RAM on my PC, the Java-Heavy application of the TripleA version basically locks up my PC; a problem I do not have with Hasbro version.

Have never done a multi-player game with Hasbro, so no experience on that front, but Hasbro does at least have (rather weak) AI so you can play against the PC (until you get to be a modestly skilled player).  And og course you can play all 5 players and use strats from these boards to test counters…

Check KaZaA lite…

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

Yes, if you download it somewhere it runs very slow after a wile, the same thing happend to me, buy it instead online or somthing, its prety hard to find it in the stores now.

Computer win? Isn’t that any oxymoron? Kinda like Lebanese government or Islamic Democracy.

Save it manually? LOL Yes, that’d be a bit tedious.

Unfortunately, I’m still stuck with the same problem, and re-installing the game hasn’t helped any. Does the A&A folder have a seperate sub-folder for saved games?
