Johnny Cat Tutorial
-
The update can be downloaded now. Note that it may go to 100% when downloading and then back to 0% several times before it finishes.
I'm using triplea version 2.7+14962 but that or the latest prerelease is fine.
Let me know when you have latest and i'll get us rolling. Fwiw, I'm usually on in the evenings to early am. I'm 2 hours ahead of you.

@johnnycat Johnny. Good luck in your first game! I am only active on this board as time permits so will be monitoring but not posting much. In my opinion, the learning curve is steep but Beelee is an excellent and patient teacher. If you get past the learning curve, G40 HRE is a blast to play and brilliantly conceived. Far superior to any of the other A&A games (which is saying something) if one is okay with the complexity of it along with the fact that it's a long game vs. all of the others. Which is no problem with TripleA in that you just post your turn whenever you have time and then go back to your normal life.
I think me and Beelee are the Americans active with TripleA HRE. The others are international I believe. Again good luck sir!

@trout AWESOME to hear this
I’ll look through these notes to see if I can figure out what exactly to do to get started.
Maybe there is a manual?
I definitely see the potential so maybe I’ll be an additional American supporting this game.
It’s not a game that can be played against the computer though correct ???
-
@johnnycat It can be played against the computer AI. Not a good way to play for developing good strategy. But not a bad way to go for just learning the Triple A mechanics. The AI on TripleA is very simplistic so none of its moves will make alot of sense.

Hi cat
Here's a link to the creator's thread at the other site https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37535/the-captain-s-global-1940-house-rules-collection
Here's his strategy guide https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37458/strategy-guide-global-1940
and here's the rulebook. I have it in two windows. One for Table of contents and one to scroll where I want to go. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jI_1JdIC-1KiTihBICJAbtX3GpVYnNgf/view?pli=1
Also you will want to refer to the triplea Game Notes under the "Help" tab.
This a learning game and while we both want to win
the main thing is to get familiar with the rules and how triplea implements them.crockett on his first game and even though his partner bailed halfway through, he's giving me and Panzer all we can handle and then some
-
@beelee thank you thank you !
Now to find time …
-
no worries Brother. At your convenience. We can leave the board setup as long as we want

@johnnycat
Hi CatI screwed up the last update so you need 2.51 now
-
@beelee OK so I have the time finally - and now don't know what to do to download whatever files I require?
As I recall I would need to download the newest TripleA as well as some sort of dice rolling thing and something else.
Please advise and note that I have finally gotten a nice gaming PC using the Windows operating system so I would need to download files for BOTH Mac and PC
Thank you !

You can Dload latest triplea here https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/
If you have the same email address you should already be registered but if not you can do that here https://dice.marti.triplea-game.org/
You will want to use a game email if you don't have one already. Some people have trouble with gmail and yahoo working with the dice server.
proton.mail and gmx.com both work
Let me know in chat if your email changed
Edit
Yea your email we used previously should be good to go. Just need to download latest game version 2.51 and I'll start us off again -
@johnnycat Hey there JC. Did you ever give this a try? Just curious
-
Good morning Sir Trout.
You have MAGICAL TIMING I guess because I just finished playing through the game again with the goal to be able to play other humans… and then, poof, your note pops into my inbox. Amazing.
So I appreciate your note very much.
So would you be interested to be part of my first time playing humans?
JC
-
@johnnycat Sure. I would be up for that. Or we could do a 3-way with Beelee as he is the technical guru and I am not in case you have any issues the first time thru. I know I did. The advantage of playing me is I am not as good as Beelee so you would have a better chance of winning against just me
-
@johnnycat Hey Mr. JC. I heard from Beelee and he is willing to monitor a game between you and I and help you if you run into any tech difficulties. So let’s do it! You want to play Allies or the bad guys?
-
As it's Cat's first game, I'd suggest Allies, as the reich is the hardest nation to play due to the number of special units.
-
@johnnycat Okay, started a new game thread called EXP Game 1 Trout vs Johnny Cat. Germany awaits your scramble instructions
-
@trout awesome to hear !!!
I will play BAD GUYS if you give me an extra few hundred credits the beef up the Axis opening positions otherwise I’ll get creamed.
So if not that then I’ll play the Good Guys and crush your ego like a bug moooohahaha
-
@trout I’m happy to just finally play!
I’m not really into the winning.
These games, after all, are somewhat simple when all players understand the rules equally.
To put it another way, I suck at these games and I don’t know these rules well… hence, I need not just Beelee; I’ll also need an intergalactic battle cruiser and a hoard of bloodthirsty orcs.
-
@johnnycat Hah! Sounds like you have the right attitude when playing Beelee. He claims to be an average player and then he crushes me routinely .... including our current game
I do like winning - can't lie. It just doesn't happen all of the time and then I have to move on. Will repost a G1 later today. I will be attacking SZ 111 so your first response will be to look at what I did and determine if you want to scramble your Spitfires or not. -
@trout my first response will be to scramble my minions with orders to get me the actual game download as well as some dice rolling program
And no I’ll Not be scrambling any aircraft (I recall Concluding that scrambling fighters is a waste of time/resources in these games)
