Select the map you want. We will use “global_40_expansion_uhd_boxes” for our example.

@all - We are looking to release 1.8.0.9 shortly due to the naval retreat bug that was found and fixed. I’ve uploaded the pre-release equivalent of that and would appreciate some assistance testing various maps, game types, etc to make sure there aren’t any issues. Pre-release install instructions here: http://tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com/AI-Development-Discussion-tp7585227.html

Here is the change log:

Bug fix, retreat from naval combat was not possible, now fixed Increase scroll speed when using arrow keys. Holding down control speeds up arrow key scroll Map edge scroll zone now larger, placing map next to the very edge of the map increases scroll speed even more AI: Fixed calculating defenses on maps with air/naval bases to properly calculate enemy range AI: Fixed bug around not defending against enemy units that were transported the previous turn (they were being marked as already transported when potential enemy attacks were calculated)

Ok…  my mistake, reinforcing after the battle is allowed.  Thinking back to the original game where you had to move everything in combat.  Not a bug…  IJN moving navy towards south america and getting stuck due to the canal being closed…  this is a bug with the Hard AI.

As long as we’re talking battle calc, how about allowing the user to specify OOL?  Sometimes you want that bomber on defense to be taken last and see how much that changes your chances….

Or to hold subs back and not lose them first.  Can be very significant when you have super subs, like I often do.  :-)

Meanwhile, I will continue to rely on my more detailed and versatile calculator, even though it’s designed for AA50.  It still works better for Global than the TripleA calc, even though it does carriers different and doesn’t have tacs

Well we’re coasting through 2014 now, with the fall coming up…

And since I’m less broke than usual, I’ll throw down this c note I got in cash tips to help these services and communities that I enjoy so much.

50 battle bucks each to A&A.org and TripleA, after a summer hard fought!

Coming at you compliments of the Starship BBQ! Hits at a 4 haha

Thanks for all you do everyone!

Free software , free server for battle via internet, fast thinking playable AI, and non-stop development by software team,  all of these let me say Triple A is the best AA relative software I seen

although someone said the AI of TripleA is not very well at all (at least the AI  is much better than that of other AA sorftware, eg. Hasbro Axis and Allies), it save lots of time when you are playing with humans, and the mistake made by AI partners make the game much challenging when playing solo …

shimrod,

you should be opening the games main exe ( AxisAllies.exe )

if you can’t get it to work then use
The Starter Pack at http://ewarzone.com/aa.html
which is pre-patched
