Triple A Combat Hit Differential Turn Summary

@SuperbattleshipYamato The TripleA mod does not fully implement the rules and the AI has problems (it doesn’t retreat out of losing battles during its turn). It is still fun to play.

I probably should use the history function more.

@Panther thank you Panther. Was already thinking I need to redo move, and have also gotten similar advice from Simon. I very much appreciate this board and the folks here.

@plasmaboy It all depends on where you and your opponent play your game.

When you want to play on triplea-game .org you select that in the PBF settings and you need your username cheesewarrior. When you want toplay on axisandallies .org you need to select that one in the PBF settings and you need your username plasmaboy.

The TripleA software just supports both forums. You and your opponent decide which one to use.
axisandallies .org and triplea-game .org are different websites.

You can play different games on different forums. But once you decided for either site for a game you continue that game there. Also not everyone has an account on both of the forums.

So in case you have ongoing games in both forums be sure that the PBF settings are correct when loading a savegame. That means load the savegame, klick on “Start PBEM (Play-By-Email/Forum) Game” (see the second screenshot above). This will open the PBF settings (see first screenshot). Check if the settings are correct - and adjust them if necessary.

And by the way: You don’t need to be logged in to any forum before starting the TripleA software. Actually what the software does is

login to the specific forum you have chosen in the PBF settings with your respective forum account post the move

All of this is determined by the details you enter in the PBF settings.

thanks for the link barney…I’ll go through those pages and read what the developer has to say!

@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  :-)

Stand for Order Of Loss, in other words in what order you want to lose your units in the battle.

@Gargantua:

I am just curious as to who gets the credit for making Triple A? and Battlemap?

Jesus.

Jesus saves.
