Modifying A&A In-game nick.

@frasil18 Welcome to the forum. :smile:

We use a software called “TripleA” to play A&A-related games.
I recommend that you check out the TripleA-related stickies in the TripleA Support Forum

Everything you need to know is described in detail there.

Have fun :smiley:

@huntdax:

I have the 15 yr old PC game by Hasbro Interactive.  I am having trouble with the graphics to play the game.  The game is made for WIN95/98 while my PC runs Win7.  What do I need to do to change in my settings for this to work.  Much appreciated.

Right click on the EXE file for the program (AandA.exe?)… in Win7 you’ll get options to enable windows compatibility mode, and several toggle switches.  Experiment a bit till you get something that works, you can use Win95 mode, Win98 mode, etc, etc… there’s also some other options, I forget what they are, but I had a very old Win95 game called Pacific General that just would not run under Win7 until I set it to Win95 mode and checked all the boxes, finally it ran as it should run in Win7 just like old Win95 days.

Give it a try.

Damn Hasbro!  That’s exactly why I’m confused.  Like you, I’ve spent a lot of time playing AI rather than RI…  :-D
That’s why I’m happy to see my laptop coming in the next week or so; no more playing the predictable AI.

The following works if you play the board game w/real dice…
You might check the dice immediately before you roll and after your opponent rolls every time. This way you catch loaded dice and have a good gaming habit that only adds a minute or two to each turn turn.

yeah, destroyers can fire at planes but subs can’t. destroyers also get the “no subs first strinke” thing like in europe and pacific

@Commisar:

do they have rules for teams

There is no special rules for multi player game touranments, you’d just have to find enough people.
