Nippon under some pressure 🙂

@johnnycat Yeah, well. That's why that move which UK did is a popular gambit. You can see quite a few articles on the A&A forum discussing the merits of the "Taranto Raid" which is what it's called. Not everyone does it but the big benefit is that it really sets Italy back alot in the first few turns. The negative is it wipes out alot of expensive UK hardware also and takes the Bomber out of the UK where it's useful for many things in the North Atlantic. Italy is always the weak Axis sister compared to Japan & Germany. It's possible for Italy to recover from it but it usually needs G to help a bit with it by building U-Boats in SZ 93 and sending air & ground units to the Med area also. Frankly that is pretty close to how history played out in the real WW2 anyway.

@panzerstahl-helm-0 No thanks. No scrambling today

@johnnycat

heh heh well that is a House Rule from a different game 🙂 It's not part of this mod

@panzerstahl-helm-0 Comrade Stalin in his very tiny heart wanted peace and for three years has done so. But he no longer could stand the fact that when he invited Mr. Hitler for tea, he insisted on eating sausages and drinking beer instead of enjoying the Motherland's borscht and vodka. But the last straw came when his Gulag team spied on Mr. Hitler at night and heard him murmur that Commies must die! So it must be war!

@johnnycat you raise good questions:

Is the answer time and programmers? Or just programmers or just time?
Or management ?
Does it come down to Money? If the answers are: yes, no, maybe, and only on weekends, how could I and others help?

Time and programmers is the biggest need. Every bug fix and issue probably takes 2 to 16 hours to fix. This is the biggest gap. Further, TripleA is a larger code base that is very brittle. Making that codebase be easier to work with would help.

Money is useful for keeping the servers running and paying the monthly bills. As much as I would love to be payed for TripleA work, paying any type of reasonable developer wage becomes way too much very quickly.

Additional management would be helpful. Getting issues sorted, cleanly stated, boiled down to a bare minimum would all be helpful.

@brandon-finnigan said in Play by Email Dice Verification Concerns:

Any form of: http:// dice. tripleawarclub. org/ is NOT safe and will take you to the sketchy website. It prompts you to download something called SafeWatch, which is definitely malware.

I edited that link in a way, that does not make it clickable ...

@kindwind If you want to try a neural net AI for TripleA, you would need to modify TripleA to support repeated self-play. For example of programs that support repeated self-play checkout Ludii & Chess Arena.

Supporting repeated self-play would be project of moderate difficulty in Java. (TripleA already supports self-play). You would need to learn Java (Vibe coding doesn't cut it).. Repeated self-play would also be useful for balancing mods.

I don't know how well a neural net would play TripleA. The number of possible moves in Go is a most 361, far fewer than the number of possible moves in a TripleA game. An effort to get a neural net to play a 2-player Risk variant did not go well.

One advantage is that TripleA already has heuristic AI's that could be used to train a neural net.

@ubernaut I just read that it got shut down... but that's ok

@panzerstahl-helm-0 Hmm, I sort of lost that zone battle by not including that sub live and learn... go for R1

@wc_sumpton

Yeah, the 2.7 version has a lot of visual issues.

I just opened the 2.5 version, it's great.

@kindwind It would seem that training against random games would be every inefficient compared to training against the AI that TripleA comes with.TripleA is not Go, random play should be very bad.

On the roadmap is to change how TripleA represents the state of the game to be a plain text file instead of a binary encoding. Once that is done, it'll be a lot easier to interoperate different TripleA game clients (ie: a mobile version that interoperates with a desktop version).

The level of effort to reach that goal is pretty high though. It's been an uphill battle to tackle our current goals... I do agree it would be pretty sweet to be able to play a turn of TripleA during coffee breaks.

@galendae you do realize we have logs right? the only person telling people to fuck off was you.

i understand you wer upset with what you perceive was trolling of ur game but that doesn’t warrant the abusive stance you took with @wirkey

everyone here is a volunteer and must be impartial when it comes to taking actions. the proper course would have been for you to show evidence the other player wasn’t just confused as you assert instead of berating the person u r seeking help from

Sweet ! Let us know if you need any help 🙂

Re: 💥 1941 Global Command Decision - Official Thread

First, for a guy who has played TripleA in the earliest of days and before that all the published versions of the Axis and Allies board games since the 1980s, the GCD map and rules is a true masterpiece. Thank you.

I play solo. Can anything be done to improve the skill of the AI? I have tried both Fast and Hard modes. No matter how I favor the AI (through multiple iterations as either Axis or Allies) the AI is finished by the 7th round. In my most current effort, I start with 2700 units for the Axis and 2400 units for the Allies. Especially when the AI plays as the Allies, I can NEVER get the USA to invade Continental Europe no matter how favorable I set the situation.

I appreciate your time and the incredible game that you have so elegantly created.

Samurai JD

A large, complex mod such as 1941 Global Command decision is difficult for the AI to play properly. More units just makes it worse.

You would need either to change to mod to help the AI or give the US units near Europe each turn using the editor
