Play this on TripleA for free instead

[Deltium]

On TripleA ALL the versions of A&A are there for free and there is a big community of players:

software: https://triplea-game.org/

forum: https://forums.triplea-game.org/

Makes no sense to play this on Steam. TripleA has live play or play by email as well.

Everyone knows Triple A exists.

It's a fine program but some of us prefer to support the people who own and created the game legally, and not have to deal with an interface and set up experience that feels like it was created to be played on CompuServe.

TripleA's version of PBE is also cumbersome and not very secure as it relates to those who may want to cheat.

What specific mechanisms are you referring to? Not that I disagree, I just want to know which specific features you're referring to. Maybe you could bring it up on Axis and Allies org forums.

tripleA is good with firends, here you can play against other people, one day, with more work and patch, and a ladder with leaderboards.

Unfortunately triple AA keeps crashing on me and my friends at round 1 russian deployment phase everytime we try to play a multiplayer game, systematically at russian deployment phase.

Yeah, one of the tough things about TripleA is port forwarding weirdness and things. A few things you can do - I think a bot hosts seed games and if you go in through there you'll encounter less issues (but you'll have to be playing a game that a bot is *hosting* - if you want to play a version a bot isn't happening to host you're out of luck) - or you can bounce the .tsvg around.

It's unwieldy but you could also play locally, and use the board editor to "fix' results.

. . . or you could figure out that whole port forwarding thing.

Anyways try https://forums.triplea-game.org/

Great reply~ It seems crass and not very nice for Deltium to post something like that. Big turn off if he represents that site. I prefer to spend money to support people who do things legally.
