What about the revised cd/rom version

@Wonder_Angel:

Fantastic, thanks very much!

Is there a rating system or a ladder of some kind?

Yes, there is. Check out

OMG GUYZ

I’ve BEEN REVIEWING THE VANN FORMULA AND HAVE DISCOVERED A FATAL FLAW

LOOK AT THE RESULTS OF THE VANN FORMULA BELOW.

Attack/defense=A/D
INFANTRY        1.85/3.7
MECH              1.04/2.08
ARTILLERY      2.08/2.08
TANK              1.39/1.39
FIGHTER          .5/.667
TECHBOMB      (.413/.551)/.413
BOMBER          .463/.116
SUB                1.39/.463
DESTROYER      .521/.521
CRUISER          .347/347
CARRIER          0/.139
BATTLESHIP    .267/.267

THE GOAL OF THE VANN FORMULA AS STATED BY VANN ON MULTIPLE OCCASSIONS IS TO DETECT OBSOLETE AND USELESS AXIS AND ALLIES UNITS.

YOU WILL NOTE BY COMPARISON THAT THE VANN VALUE FOR TRANSPORTS MUST BE 0.

MEANING IT’S THE MOST USELESS AND OBSOLETE UNIT IN THE GAME, THAT SERVES NO PURPOSE, AND CLEARLY ANYONE WHO WOULD EVER BUY ONE WOULD CLEARLY BE A FOOL.

THIS IS A FATAL FLAW!  AS THE ALLIES and/OR JAPAN WOULD CERTAINLY LOSE IF THEY NEVER BOUGHT TRANSPORTS.

I DEMAND A FULL RESPONSE FROM VANN  HIS NEW GAME ALLIES AND AXIS IS DOOMED TO FAIL UNLESS HE UNDERSTANDS THIS CRITICAL FLAW!

And we haven’t even talked about Complexes and Air/Naval BASES yet.
OMG WHAT IS VANN GOING TO DO GUYZ?

Hi Folks!

I’m new to this forum and have a good friend whom I play against when we hook up at each other’s homes.

I always use the Allies because my buddy likes the “fun” of using the Axis.  I never lose playing the Allies however because of a couple of sound strategies that take the luck out of A&A. (unless Germany goes hell-bent for Karelia and manages to keep it for a turn with enough to beat off a counter-attack from Russia in next turn).

My take on the allies is this…build an Indian factory to stall the Japanese and keep the Japs trying to get rid of this factory rather than going straight after Russia…  More importantly…the US can decide the game by leaving the Pacific alone and throwing everything they have into getting troops into Africa/Norway and even France to help take pressure off the Russians, deny the Germans the free 11 IPC’s in Africa ASAP and allow the UK to also send land units to the continent via Norway.

To even the game up I always give the Axis “super subs and fighters” plus not allow Russia to attack for 1st turn.  Even then…unless I get unlucky with early dice rolls the sheer weight of US IPC’s allows me to wipe out Germany at which point Japan is toast.  I suppose I COULD limit the Russians from attacking the 1st TWO turns but don’t want to give up TOO much as the Allies from the beginning?  Any other suggestions as to how the Axis can win?

Welcome to the forum, Derwood.

It seems that you have chosen the wrong subforum for your questions.

Better ask in the Software-forum, to be found here:

Also I would like to encourage you to give TripleA a try for online and offline gaming.

Enjoy gaming :-)

you are correct

our UI uses Swing,

and to be Android / iStuff compatible, someone would need to redo our UI in a different library that is specially made for those platforms.

our code is open source, anyone is welcome to do this
http://sourceforge.net/projects/triplea/develop

All links are outdated/broken, there is no additional valuable information in this thread.

So it is unstickied now.

I didn’t see this anywhere else except something similar with iron blitz (which I don’t have) so I hope it’s okay to start a new topic.

I was wondering if you guys here know of any mods or patches or workarounds so all the countries could either fight each other from the beginning or make it so the winning alliance turns on each other after the opposing alliance loses.  If there isn’t one, I’d be happy to create one myself if anyone knows what would be involved and would be kind enough to get me started in the right direction.

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

Thank you for host the web calc!

. . . . as well as everything else you’ve done for the A&A community  :-D
