TripleA and Pac40

version 1.1.2 of the pac40 map is out….
shit loads still wrong with it though… but it doesn’t crash any more :)

maherC… I can connect to the 1.2.0.0 lobby and see people there…  what is the problem you are having?  make sure you have the latest tripleA version:  https://sourceforge.net/projects/triplea/files

Isn’t is possible anymore to play Revised (or Anniversary Edition) at Triple A? I only see Triple A variants of Axis and Allies…Is this because of legal actions from Gametable Online, or do I have to install an older version of Triple A?

AA50 is WW2v3, AA42 is WW2v4, Revised is WW2 Revised.

I like it already though. Finally some hands on on the game, while I await my copy. Keep up the great work!

well, as of right now, it is Pacific 1940 with all units and map done correctly, just not many of the rules since they require changes to the engine

if anyone ever wanted to play Pacific 1940 with AA50 rules, here is your chance!
(naval and air bases do not work, escorts and interceptors do not work, etc.)

go check it out: http://n2.nabble.com/Project-WW2-Pacific-1940-tp4225367p4225367.html

I am sure TripleA will make a version of every A&A release.

version 1.1.1 was corrupted or something, go back and try downloading 1.1.2
we are making updates quite a bit, so check back often

anything to do with the engine will not be updated so quickly though… so don’t expect many of the known issues that involve the engine to be fixed soon

It is very time consuming to code new rules and features in the TripleA engine, so I guess the developers will focus on the newest versions of A&A, from AA50 to AAP40 and AAE40.

I downloaded version 1.2 of triple A, but I only see game options; Big world, Great war, Capture the flag and minimap New world order…could someone tell me what version of Triple A I should download to get the boardgame versions off Revised, Anniversary and pacific?

Thanks!

@MaherC:

keep in mind it doesn’t work quite yet.

I’ve been thinking more about a Triple A version of this…  Admittedly I’ve never PBE for a game, so I don’t know all the logistics, but from my experience with the revised version on facebook back before they started charging was that losses were assigned by rather simple rules (cheapest/weakest and subs auto submerge or not) if the defender wasn’t online.  I assume that TripleA works much the same, but please correct me if I’m wrong.  With the increase in defender decisions (Kamikazee, scrambling, escorts, and the AA50 sub rules for planes) I can’t imagine being able to play a combat without NEEDING imput from the defender for a large portion of the game.  Is there a satisfactory PBE solution for this?

At least now Convoy interdiction is automatic now, as you can’t declare it against someone unless you were already at war and can’t use it to declare war (errata revision 3) so that strategic option of surprising a power on their collect income phase is gone.  But how the devil will scrambling work??

@MaherC:

let’s hope.  pac40 isn’t worth the time to setup just to see the allied player go….hmmmm for an hour and quit.

Sounds like you need a better allied player  :-D

Oh I am without a doubt, not the best allied player out there.  But I’m sure with a larger pool of players the better allied strats will begin to surface.
