Why AnA players should play TripleA (a 12 minute video).

The best and most functional versions of core Axis and Allies games for TripleA will be cataloged below. This work is primarily from @VictoryFirst but more may be on the way from other authors as well as VictoryFirst.

This thread will act as a living document and updated continually as more fixes to the various TripleA modules are completed.

Here is a youtube video that explains more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkgP1O3wQAs

Module installation instructions: You have to move the unzipped map to the “downloadedMaps” folder in the folder where you installed Triplea. Reboot the game and look for the title in the selection screen.

@The_Good_Captain

Amazing video! One of the most helpful videos you’ve ever made (and a lot of them have been extremely helpful). 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

@taamvan this seems to be more of a comment than a rebuttal but thanks for the post.

2 big things that work to Allies favor:
-After round 1 Ivan and the Yankees get to move back to back and coordinate
-If Russia is dug in defensively, UK fighters can defend a Russian western front when Germany is up and move to an eastern front for defense against Japan.

@Young-Grasshopper this game is fun throughout and I highly recommend it to anyone a fan of world war 2 like me been playing it my whole life and I like playing both sides with victories for both but I find it more achievable to win as the axis I like using subs and fighters a lot to scare the English most of the time

Great article and yeah sounds like your past games were about the same as mine. ONly a few good old friends we olny the occasional “beep” while throw a dice in disguse. As long as it’s just that….quick. Sometimes you just have to blow off a little steam and then realize “It’s just a game”. Plus later it’s great comical material against you. “Hey man don’t blow up if you lose this battle” and so forth. HAHA

I’m not sure I agree with your numbers under section 1 but the other sections are spot on.  Section 2 is particularily good advice.  If you need to win 3 ‘deadzones’ to block blitz avenues to lighly defended air assests behind ‘the lines’ you better think carefully about HAVING to win ALL 3.

Perhaps we are looking at things from a different angle for section 1 but I get these odds:

10 infantry vs 6 infantry; probable outcome is 4 attacking infantry (12 IPCs) surviving.

50/50 mark of casualties is 6 Inf, like you state, although a 26% chance the attacker loses.  The 50/50 mark means you are equally likely to get better or worse.

5 infantry and 3 tanks vs 6 infantry, probable outcome is 1 attacking infantry and 3 tanks (18 IPCs) surviving.

50/50 mark of casualties is 2 Inf not the 4 Inf you state, in fact, there is a 90% chance the the loses are lower than you state and there is not statistical likelihood of attacker losing or even losing more than a single tank.

5 tanks vs 6 infantry, probable outcome 2-3 tanks (10-15 IPCs) surviving.

The 50/50 mark is 1 tank surviving.  In fact, you are nearly going to lose that attack 50% of the time and about 60% you have 1 or less surviving tanks.
