TripleA is a Sourceforge project in the spirit of World War II strategic war games such as Axis and Allies (similar but more complex to RISK).

I was wondering if many people like or play these kinds of boardgames?

I'd like to get a game up and running but first I need to see if enough people are interested. I would need roughly 9-10 more players.

Please bear in mind that the game may go over the course of several weeks.



NOTE: Not the map we will actually be using which has room for more players.

I might post later here with more screenshots and more information kind of in a hurry right now.

Post below and indicate if you're interested.

Players Signed up so far:

- Ronin
- Unknown (friend who wanted in).
- Ardesh
- adwarf
- Orb
- Spaghetti7
- Berekän
- KatalDT
- Little
- darkrider2

Reserves:

- Anvilfolk
- warhammer651
- NotAQuisling

There are ten spots, the rest of the players will be reserve in-case someone has dropped out/is not available/will drop out/etc:

ALLIED POWERS

Americans
British
Canadians
Chinese
Russians
Australia

AXIS POWERS

Germans
Italians
Japanese
Puppet States

For the sake of fairness I will be pulling names out of a hat to see who gets what country or else everyone will be queuing up to play the big names like Germany and Britain and no-one will want to play the smaller nations such as China and Australia.

I will be making a new thread here on the forums with rules, strategies, player listings, play schedule, etc, etc. If you cannot be reached to have your turn in an appropriate amount of time a reserve player will take your turn. If this happens more than once without explanation it could lead to you losing your spot.

I was tiding some things over in my head and I decided PBEM will not work. There's too much opportunity for the players who do not know what they're doing to accidentally go outside the rules and break the game. I will work out some kind of system where players will be able to connect to me and fill out their turns or if they are unable at least mail their orders in to be filled out by me personally.

omg... great game... but i remember the client being somewhat buggy

count me in

[adwarf]

I'm in

[The13thRonin]

Alright so that's 5 peeps. Still need a few more to get a proper game going =)!

[Orb]

I've never done a PBEM, so I may have a little trouble getting it to work, but if I can, I'll join in this too.

[Spaghetti7]

Hey, seems like a good idea, although I've never played a PBEM before either.
Count me in.

[Berekän]

Looks interesting, I might join you if everyone's ok with it

[ardesh]

Hey, seems like a good idea, although I've never played a PBEM before either.
Count me in.

usually you just send some kind of "savegame" to the next player in line

[KatalDT]

Never played a PBEM before, but I might be interested... I'm on my computer daily so I wouldn't likely hold up the game much once I figured it out.

[ardesh]

any idea on when to "start" the game?

[Little]

Never done a PBEM, but I'm interested.

Why aren't we just hosting a game over the Net, though?

[darkrider2]

Don't know what PBEM means, but I do love axis and allies so I'm interested.

count me in.

[Anvilfolk]

I might be in if there's a spot!

[The13thRonin]

Just posting to say that this is still a thing. I will be posting the new thread within the day and putting up all the rules, etc. I have never hosted one of these things before so hopefully it will turn out ok . We're scrapping the PBEM thing as I didn't realize but the games method of managing PBEM is pretty atrocious so I will simply be hosting sporadic sessions where people can make their turns or some such system or giant sessions at specific times of the week when we can all participate. Don't worry... There is plenty of scope if you miss these daily/weekly sessions to message me your orders to be carried out and for minute things such as casualty selection to be made in your absence according to your wishes, etc.

Damn, wish I had seen this thread earlier. add me as a reserve
