MOVED: AXIS AND ALLIES PLAYERS IN PITTSBURGH

The final video in my Europe series is up. I have a lot more respect for this version now. Lot’s of good stuff going on in there that I think got missed: https://youtu.be/_AjN3D4bWJ0?si=NYEEAwXEro3jqQDu

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.

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.

Oh yeah. There will be a big announcement when it does! It will be hard to miss.

Hello all!

I have decided to rebut Don’s essays on Axis and Allies classic in a ten part series on YouTube. You can check out the first video (in two parts) by clicking on the link below:

My intent is to release one part every week over the next ten weeks. I hope this gets some folks to break out the classic again!

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.

Re:  “defense being more efficient than offense”

Subs being the bally exception, wot?

I read it.  It’s good.  I did get a chuckle out of the fact that doing all that “assessing” of various maneuvers takes less time then reading the article about it.  :-D
