It worked now. For some reason some players were set to computer in the file, but I could change that before I launched the game!

Happy playing :)

@P@nther:

@JEB:

There seem to be something wrong with the file. It’s the computer that plays when I load it!

I can’t reproduce that.

That’s what I do:

1. Start TripleA
2. Hit “Load saved Game”
3. Choose Savegame - Hit “Open”
4. Hit “Start PBEM… Game”

Done.

Maybe you had a game with computer opponents active when opening the file?
In this case you must hit “Cancel” when the opponents are shown and choose “Start PBEM…”

HTH :-)

Thank you! I think this map is actually quite balanced if you get a few extra bid with the allies. If you don’t keep the momentum with the axis, you will just see your income getting slowly eaten away. It’s hard to turn around a tough start with the axis, like the one you had. I’ve found out that myself :)
