keep in mind it doesn’t work quite yet.

says the guy who has spent more time posting here than me….

also, you meant Girlfriend right?  Not Girl Friend.  Difference.

but hey, you got me good!  wow.  I learned my lesson.

love it, we have taken to writing “F” on the back of the national marker chips and making groups of planes or fighters off the board so we can move 12 ships with one fingertip.

@Brain:

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

I don’t see DDay and it’s been out quite awhile :)

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

agreed.  not sure how your j1 open is different from the one I posted and was flammed and negative karma’d into the ground over a few weeks ago, but glad to see someone else is getting harassed on the boards by people who slurp at the teet of WOTC too much to realize how unbalanced the game is.

hmm. doesn’t seem to want to unzip.  maybe i’ll have to wait for the dl in-game option.

@Veqryn:

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

I have 1.2.0.0, can get to the lobby, chat, see games etc.  I can play networked games at home w/roomie just fine.  Can’t connect or host online though, port 3300 error, have the port forwarded in the router….lost.

well, considering I can’t connect to any non network games anyway using the new version, it doesn’t matter all that much yet.

@Subotai:

The map is being designed, as we speak… :-)

But AAP40 demands a lot of coding within the TripleA engine, and we can’t expect a playable version anytime soon.

shouldn’t be too hard I wouldn’t think, the ww2v3 map has many of the same issues like china placement etc, aside from adding tac bombers and buliding mech inf.  NO’s are also in that version….

Anyone know if work is going on with regard to a TripleA playable Pac40?

so where can i find this aa50 map for triplea?

Thanks

getting a little too specific though aren’t we?  If that’s the case the chinese fighter should not be a 3/4 like the rest of the planes, as they were the p40s and nowhere near as good as a zero.

so I’m still waiting to see a way for the US to win.  This “just buy navy” answer doesn’t work because the Japanese can match anything the US buys, and has enough on the mainland to finish the brits.

silly me asking a lot of a company to actually provide a scan of the rulebook on their website for a game that’s been out for a month.  Was hoping someone had scanned it already, guess not.

So glad to see WOTC doesn’t have the rulebook up yet, anyone know where I can find a scan of it?  Mine decided to get thrown up on during the festivities of the last few days.

but again, this is supposed to be a stand alone game.  if you are saying japs are too powerful now but wait till the combined game….that’s great planning from WOTC.  First time buyers are going to be turned off to how unbalanced the game is (and the lack of quality and pieces) and will be less likely to buy Europe.

Mech inf should be able to tow an arty 2 spaces non combat.  that would be hot.

It’s not that hard to fill in the blanks.  Take Hong Kong, Phillipines UK’s Battleship/Anzac’s fleet first turn.  Move your fighters from Japan to Carolines.  Send one sub to sink the US Transport at Hawaii.  Take Borneo.  Take FIC. Take some Chinese terr.

I’m not really all that fired up to post the moves to a group who dumps negative feedback on me for posting my opinion on a game.  I obviously won’t “win you over” to my belief that the game is horribly unbalanced, because I haven’t been on these forums for years, I must not know how to play A&A.
