Axis & Allies 1942 Online AMA - r/boardgames

I don’t know if memes are allowed but I’ve done this by accident a few times and it is devastating. Had to make this meme to mitigate my sorrow.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog

I can specify, what i was doing:

Settings Apple-ID/Profile Registration&Security Sign in with Apple Axis&Allies App Hide my E-Mail > manage Settings Axis&Allies App disable „Forword to (your e-mail)“

Then A&A worked again.

Axis & Allies 1942 Online on iOS will now use Minimal High Quality Sprites by default: only unit icon sprites will be used on the game & combat boards. The setting (which players can find & tweak to their liking in Graphics -> Image Content And Resolution) will hopefully mitigate black screens and constant reloading. The Use Minimal Resources setting will also cause no animations and unit icon sprites only, but at a lower resolution than default

Hi! For ranked games, you have 24 hours to take your turn. If you can’t do that, you automatically lose.

For un-ranked games, you have 24 hours to take your turn. Then the opposing player gets an option to send you a notification - for other 24 hours. If you still haven’t taken your turn after that, the opposing player gets an option to kick you out of the game (which will mean your defeat). If there are allied players in your team, they will get control over your nation.

@djensen Despite the success that doug and I had in the tournament with the allies, I’m about 50/50 in my allied games, and about 75/25 for my axis ones. Dave Marts devestated me repeatedly in our practice games with the axis.

The axis plan is simpler than the allied one and you can make more mistakes

casualty order seems to be a negative for the allies with their more complex sub submersion tactics and carriers vs fighters being lost on the retreat

no allied planes on carriers hurts allies much more than axis. Axis can land planes on top of each other on land more than they need to use each others carriers

also how would we verify results if they are not recorded automatically?

@aardvarkpepper Well if you are interested in developing an AI or improving the AI for A&A games and for an implementation much closer to the actual game then you should consider TripleA as we are always looking for contributions: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea
