Triple-A -- Which map is the correct one for the 1941 A&A Anniversary edition?

@FranceNeedsMorePower

I’ve seen some pretty insane stuff myself:

This is my favorite version of AA50 for tripleA!

It reminds me of those old stanley turner WW2 maps I enjoy or like Time Life from way back in the day, but with some topographical flare to it that I particularly dig. It’s like a classic callback to Iron Blitz, but subtle. I love it! Can’t believe it took me like 5 years to chance on this post hehe.

This Custom Mod should just be the default AA50 version in the tripleA repository as far as I’m concerned. It looks glorious! Love the unit detailing.

Also I was trying it out just now with some of the Iron War units that Frostion made shown below, which were among my favs for WW2 tripleA, and it looked killer that way too! I re-labelled and ported them earlier tonight to have something I could use for G40 units as well and the files totally worked for AA50 despite having like way more tanks than the game could ever use lol. When I found this map and was like oh damn, when did this one come along? 2017 I guess, well I still think it’s rad!!! Super clean map all around.

It would be awesome to see something like this for G40 at some juncture. When I pull up the vanilla AA50 or G40, just doesn’t look nearly as awesome as this Custom Mod map. Style points especially for the little designs in the reliefs. This Custom Mod AA50 is what I really wished the AA50 map might look like back when I initially put the rough baseline together. Lots of nice touches here, it’s got the charm for sure. Well done dude!
Truly, all the best

I installed the game on laptop with win10, the games starts incredible fast and the flags are moving so fast in the wind I can almost not see the animation… but after 10-15 minutes, the game slows down more and more so I cannot barely not scroll the map or see the animations of exloding units… what can be wrong?

is starts perfectly fine and then slows down so I have to restart every 15 minutes.
and I�m not sure of you guys, but for me it takes more than 15 min to beat the axis so I have to restart quite many times… Smiley

has this occured to anyone else and what can I do to solve this?
many thanks in advance

@majikforce:

A few more questions:

1: Am I able to setup email notifications to all the players when a turn is posted and how?  Or do people need to periodically check the forum thread?

2: Is there a feature in the game that tells you what units are in each territory, more specifically seazones?  I am having trouble distinguishing between the ships.  Mostly cruisers and battleships.  Or is there a cheat sheet of the unit pictures?

3: What prevents someone from rolling out combat not liking the results so they reload the game and run the rolls again?  I’m not worried about my group but just wondered when playing strangers.  Most people on the forums are really great and really helpful but you do get the occasional d-bag.

1. If you play by forum the players check the forum. But every player receives the mails from the dice server. This of course is an indication that something has happened. Only if you play by Mail the players recieve the turns by mail and are informed this way.

2. If you start TripleA and have the map on the screen you will see some information on the right side. Just klick on “Territory” and use the mouse to hover over the territory you want to know more about. The information and units are presented on the right side of the screen then. Being there, hover the mouse over the unit then. You will see all information concerning that unit including the name. I recommend to take a screen shot from the purchase-units screen, though. With the help of this image you can easily distinguish between the units at any time.

3. This is why you register your emails with the dice server. You will get emails with the rolls then. This way you can be sure that no one cheated.
And: TripleA has a history mode (Menu Game-Show History). Everything that happened is presented to you and can be reproduced - and compared when using the results from the dice server.

(Leave history mode via Menu Game-Show current game)

HTH  :-)

People playing this map should keep in mind until this will be probably fixed:

On the original map - heading north - SZ 29 is adjacent to SZ 32 and 31. SZ 30 is adjacent to SZ 31 and 37 (and not to SZ 32).
