MOVED: AXIS AND ALLIES PLAYERS IN PITTSBURGH

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 Thank you for that.

Check out my latest video in my “In Defense of” series where I argue for the use of calculators in EVERY game of AnA allowed:

Punchline:

Precedents: Most war strategy games (even those more complex than AnA) operate under simpler dice probabilities or have calculators built in (analogized as a ‘general’s staff’) The probability of success/failure in a battle exists whether you chose to know it or not. Not using a calculator is to chose to be ignorant (granted, for the ‘fun’ of the game). Calculators make you a much better player much faster (reasons given in the video).

We are only discussion solutions. There is no problem.

I’m only saying that only moderators should be asked to move threads and if an argument occurs or flame war, they move the entire thread to moderation. Allowing any poster the power to whisk away countless posts from other contributors in a decent thread does not help this site. Contrary, it goes against what the site is about.

Nobody except Moderators should have the power to make these changes. I seriously doubt most people want it any different.

I want to revive this thread.

I attacked WRus and Ukr with Russia. With the UK I sank the SZ16 (had brought the INF and ARM from Libya to Ukr), SZ59 and SZ5 fleets. I then pulled back everything towards Caucasus, even abandoning India to J - the Germans were getting ready to hit it heavy soon, and I think it saved my hide.

If I remember right, the “Can Opener” was mentioned in the Caspian Sub Yahoo group’s paper regarding the Japanese invasion of Western Canada.  Something about how German units blast Eastern Canada to open a route for Japanese tanks from Western Canada to hit Eastern U.S.

That might not bear out.

Subs being the bally exception, wot?
