TripleA - play Axis & Allies like Maps Online, PBEM or against the AI

@barnee

Thank you, now I understand. It had been removed AFAIK and replaced by a log file.
See:
https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/2497/replace-console-logging-with-a-file
and
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/8436

That doesn’t explain why it was present in 2.5 though. I vaguely remember that “Show Console” might have been an option in the Engine Preferences what had been removed later.

Took a while, but looks like we’re back in business  :-D

There are some old versions of Global 1940 as Alpha1 and Alpha2? In TripleA there are Original, Alpha 3 and Second Edition, but exists another Alpha in .xml?

fyi, a new triplea is out

Instructions:

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!

@Hepps01:

Remember the calculator is simply calculating the odds of victory or loss based on casualties from weakest to strongest in attack or defense value.  meaning it is removing the weakest units first followed by better ones later.

That’s about what I suspected, thanks!

@captainjack:

Does anyone know if a triplea version of RISK has been made?
Thanks.

Probably not, but there is a RISK version available for free for Linux, so I guess there must be a version for windows also, just do a google search.

I may something crazy here, but playing and finishing a 12 hour game is something I actually only enjoy off-line… Nothing beats an all-nighter. Sure the wives don’t like it, but they’ll come to terms with it, you’ll see

Nevertheless I agree on all remarks that shutting tripleA down is poor costumer management, as well as unnecessary from a sales point of view. (I even think that most TripleA-players not only have avg 3,5 AA boards at home, they’ll probably also have the hasbro cd-rom, which was a perversion of AA in my humble opinion - enough reason to assume an implied license I say)

juh!
:-D

@SgtBlitz:

WHAT. THE. F*CK.  Can we still play networked games on this thing with the latest client?  Cause I don’t think they can shut down that.

Seriously?  HASBRO???  They made ONE super shtty AA CD-ROM game like 10 years ago and are shutting down ALL of TripleA because of it?  I cry bullsht.  AA50 is Avalon Games anyway, is the unstable AA50 client gonna be able to work???

There’s like maybe 50 people online on TripleA at any given time, anyways!  Holy sh*t!  Like these people would be playing a game at home!  The ONLY way you’re going to be playing (and finishing!) a 12 hour Axis and Allies game is ONLINE!

Where’s a link to a petition or something?  This is ridiculous, as there are MANY of the games available on the TripleA client that Hasbro has NO rights too!  I could see them trying to get Classic or Revised taken out but the whole client is just FOOLISH.

Hell, how am I gonna participate in the ladder now, wanted to play matches over TripleA…

Edit:  BTW, may I add I have CLASSIC, REVISED, AND AA50 SITTING IN MY CLOSET AT HOME.  GATHERING DUST.  TRIPLEA WAS THE EASIEST WAY TO FIND OPPONENTS AND GAMES.  THANKS A LOT HASBRO.  NEVER BUYING ONE OF YOUR PRODUCTS AGAIN.
