Just found this thread, as I was looking for War Room on TripleA as well. Just discovered War Room (after playing 100s of AaA games), and also thought it is a nice alternative, very suitable to be played on TripleA, if there is a large enough following. Also willing to chip in.

Myygames (Allies+58) over Enno (X) LL OOB

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/39956/myygames-allies-58-vs-enno-x-ll-oob/5

After some deliberation, the axis are ready to surrender.

The game is probably far from over, but the position of the Germans is now rapidly worsening and Japan didn’t get far enough yet to secure a Pacific victory, so the chances of a win aren’t looking that great anymore. Unfortunately personal circumstances also make it very difficult to make enough time available to try to turn this game around (which may be close to impossible anyway).

Congratulations! For quite some time I was reasonably happy with how things were progressing. The swift loss of Scandinavia, including several highly successful strafing attacks by the allies was the turn of the tide in my opinion, although Russia was also doing awfully good with all the extra income abroad. I hadn’t understood fully yet the devastating impact yet of calculated strafing attacks using lots of air and a few expendable units (if any), which is really a LL thing. Without LL, the downside risk is way too large. And with 14 UK air currently flying around Scandinavia, I’m sure lot’s of further strafing attacks would follow.

I came to like LL quite a bit, but I do see more of a focus on air and calculated strafing attacks that makes it feel a little distorted, but that might be because of my first encounter with it, and the fact that I was on the receiving end…

Very well played, this is actually my first loss with the axis in this game (I’ll try to comfort myself that LL is a different beast :-) ).

I hope to get a chance at revenge at some point.

Enjoy your vacation and until we meet again!

@Myygames this week was tough at work. I will play a turn this weekend, not sure whether Sat or Sun.

@Myygames myygames-vs-enno-g40-LL- IT9.tsvg Go ANZAC!

@Myygames very sorry about the delays, I just keep getting swamped with work stuff. Tonight my schedule looks much emptier so far at least, so if nothing changes you should see a turn then.

@Myygames sorry for the delay, little hectic these days. Will get a turn out today or latest tomorrow. Next week I have a big company event, followed by a week going abroad. I still hope to sometimes get a turn out, but there might be a couple of days in between.

@mainah surprised you didn’t bring the UK bomber in the Med sea fight?

But yeah, you had a tough start of the game so far, and it doesn’t look very bright for the allies, although of course things might still be able to turn around.

Let me know if you want to continue. Heads up; until the end of Oct I have very limited time to play, but I’ll try to do a turn here and there if possible.

Thanks. Move could have been better, made a stupid mistake… Go USSR!

Missed having a G infantry loaded. Happens to all of us.

Little worse than that, but let’s see…

Japan lashes out against the Chinese and consolidates the money islands and the navy.

Go USA!

Go ANZAC!

axis that is…

@Myygames no rush! In the meantime, the allies will be anxiously awaiting to see what those orders turned out to be…

@mainah mainah-vs-enno-g40- J2.tsvg

Looks like the dice have turned better for the allies; at least J2 was a bit better than expected, and the Japanese are mourning a fighter.

Go allies!

Go USSR!

@mainah I get an error opening the file; do you have the same? I am using TripleA 2.6.14508 for this game.

mainah-vs-enno-g40- G2.tsvg Man, I do feel sorry for how bad the dices are going for ya! Hope this round is better for the allies. Go USSR!
