What do I need to do and know in order to play a game by email/ forum?

@frasil18 Welcome to the forum. :smile:

We use a software called “TripleA” to play A&A-related games.
I recommend that you check out the TripleA-related stickies in the TripleA Support Forum

Everything you need to know is described in detail there.

Have fun :smiley:

If you just want to play classic and don’t want to download anything you can play at http://gamesbyemail.com/

Another great learning path you can take is 1941, 1942, and finally 1940.  More complicated/bigger usually equals more fun and more time-consuming.

Anniversary is still the most popular among loyal but infrequent gamers.

How are you making out bmmalloch?

We don’t like to lose new members!!!  Perhaps trying an online version of the game will help you learn how it works?

Random crashes do happen a lot in A&A (to the dread of players everywhere) at any particular moment. I might help if you reinstall A&A or close all programs before running A&A.

Oh yeah, Direct issues might help too. Check the troubleshooting file.
