Need some help with Triple-A PBEM

@SuperbattleshipYamato The TripleA mod does not fully implement the rules and the AI has problems (it doesn’t retreat out of losing battles during its turn). It is still fun to play.

@panther guess not then

I probably should use the history function more.

@majikforce:

Whenever I post a turn I get a Summary Text: Unknown Error but if I go to the thread it has posted my map just fine.  Any thoughts on this problem?  Thanks.

I still have the same problem.
It allways kicks me out on the forum whenever I post my turn and most of the time it is actually taking a minute to post my turn.
It’s weird. You never know if you have posted your summary and I allways have to login my self after each summary post on A’nA.org

Seems to be not a TripleA problem. These issues occured after switching the forum server. djensen is aware of it.

Online, you enter into a lobby where people host games. There you can join games to play… or watch if it has already started. These games are live.

Play By Email… well, of course you’ll need the emails of others. I think everyone has to register to the dice server, TripleA should tell how to do it. But you get spammed a lot from the results of the game. So I’d recommend using a new email just for this if you decide to play it by Email.
Games by Forum or Email aren’t live of course. You get the results uploaded and then when it’s your turn, when you’re done, you post/send your results. TripleA conveniently does most of the work itself for that, I think.

And if you got a buddy right by ya, you could just play a local game.

How to install maps using the “Download Maps” feature inside TripleA (the preferred method)
http://www.tripleawarclub.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?forum=1&post_id=941#forumpost941

Instructions:

1. Run and start up TripleA.  Then click “Download Maps…”
2. Take the following link, and copy it into the text box, then click “List Games”

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tripleamaps/triplea_maps.xml

3. Scroll to the map you want, which is “World War II Global”, and then click “Install Game”
4. Repeat process to install any other maps you want, then restart TripleA.  Done!

There are other helping threads in the Software section of this forum.

I had that same problem.
I solved it by un-installing Triple A and then I installed the newest version of Triple A with the link that included JAVA.
Everything worked great then. I hope this helps you!

Axis and Allies was meant to be played by MEN, not MACHINES!

An AI intelligent enough, could become Artificial.  I mean, if it knows when to rock out a good gamble, that could be dangerous! :P

For the record, I don’t “look” ahead in most of my games, other than for the obvious - “Oh they are going to take a shot at the capital” kind of stuff.  If the AI just did what it had to do to get it’s NO’s, and focus on the economics, it would be deadly enough.
