How long since you bought A&A Revised?

Russia’s abilities in AAR seem to have been a mistake (IMHO) by the creator.  Back in the day, I had some pretty neat games where the United States mostly ignored Europe while Russia beat the ever livvin snot out of the Germans virtually single handedly. (You did need the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy to generate threat and reinforce of course.)

Talk to me about the Russian triple one day.  I am not on that computer or I would repost it…won more games with that then any other version of Axis and Allies ever!

@maverickud:

Hello all,

I am an Axis and Allies player from years ago and was recently gifted the revised version. This has reawakened my interest in the game and it’s nice to see some others who still enjoy it. I read about the triplea client and have also been using that to brush up on my skills.

I was thinking about joining some online games but a lot don’t seem that friendly to people who don’t know acronyms or have different expansion sets. Are there only really experienced players online? Also, does anyone know how to host a game? I tried to but it said there was something up with my router or firewall. I have no idea what that means :)

It’s great to see that there is still a lot of love for the game out there.

I like GameTableOnline.  The design aesthetics and ease of game play are superior to TripleA.  Plus there’s a nice variety of novices and experts.

But in TripleA’s favor, it offers save/edit and bidding, which are great features for a highly competitive game.

Btw you can’t host on TripleA if you haven’t enabled port forwarding for TripleA.  GameTableOnline doesn’t have this issue–anyone can host.

no thats illegal. Just DL the AARHE file which is the basic map for AAR

Its strange. The link was working yesterday but now its not. So i cant find the supporting documentation, but ill look.

@ShadowHAwk:

Can i agree with the fact that in the current rules the carrier does NOT have to move if the fighter was destroyed, but at the same time not agree with the rules itself ?

Because it is not logical that the carrier does not start its move to meet up with the figher at the same time since it it start after the figher completed its move in a normal situation it would not be there on time to catch the aircraft.

Basicaly the time it takes for the carrier to get there is the same as the time it takes for the fighter to get there and since the carrier needs to be there at the same time in order for the pilot to remain dry it logical should start sailing in the general direction of the pickup point.

Since the Fighter in question could be “flying” from Gibraltar to the Caucus in one turn, I don’t think the model of aircraft taking off and landing as part of a days flight operations on a Carrier quite applies.  Especially since Naval aircraft are built very differently from land based aircraft yet the game makes no difference between the two.

@dezrtfish:

Fish Condos: newly built german ships

We call those “bottom clutter”. Same idea.

I think the most important battles are:

Germany: Egypt, clearing the Med of british shipping

everyone else depends on their strategy.
