I should throw in, and I've said it many times, for fun on the WWIIClassic map which was the board game map me and my buds played, we started letting Germany go first instead of letting Russia go first ... that was fun and a little more challenge for the Allies and I personally thought it was more historically accurate. So that's something you could try if you want to give a new player some help against an experienced player.
It's my 8 week updated war/gaming Youtube pick!

@cernel it's funny cuz my old trs80 color computer had a game called Robot War I think it was called and you basically programmed 2 robots with different attacks and then battled them against each other ... but an AI vs AI Tournament on an Axis and Allies map would be even more interesting ... for "game theory" enthusiasts ofcourse!

@jazan hmmm maybe the Axis and Allies board game published a different map for Europe!
I play the WWIIClassic map because it's the exact one on the board game my friend owns but anyways I only play 1 map against the AI because I enjoy the challenge and look forward to the AI improvements and testing it but I'm just casual and I'm only on 2 game forums right now for my daily routine but this games development is interesting and I'll say again I totally love battling the fresh new improved AI ...
I have asked a few times but I kinda wondered if this game will ever officially be "done" or maybe the AI will always be being worked on ... which is fine. I also suggested an "AI tweak challenge" thread where people tweak the AI settings and try to submit the toughest AI! Hmm, I wonder if you can tweak 2 AI's and have them battle each other hehehhe?
Ok, good luck with your battles and remember to submit any of your saved matches to the "AI discussion" thread if the AI did anything you thought was questionable or is a bug.
@jazan the AI used to be easy (when it was called Dynamic AI) but now they have improved the AI lots over the last 2 years and yes from what we've read the maps will factor in. I only pretty much play the WWIIClassic map because its the map that the board game uses when you buy the game and the one me and my friends play and so I know it backwards and forwards and if you really want a challenge then play as the Axis and try to take down the 3 AI Allied countries!
I have 32 submitted defeats of the AI on the WWIIClassic map ... 64 if you count my defeats vs both the Axis AI and the Allies AI!
Here's a save of a win against the Allies AI I did recently while I'm waiting for Redrum to do more tactical AI updates. On the WWIIClassic map, it's all about that first opening move against the Allies AI that sets the tone for the match ... and remember to sometimes "strafe attack" or attack and then retreat if retreating is the better option!;

Good luck and there is an "AI Discussion" thread where you can submit your battles against the AI and give examples where you think the AI screwed up or can be improved
@redrum oohhhhhh, I did not know!
@redrum now that yous brought it up, I don't think I've ever seen the AI use kamikaze attacks ever ... on the WWIIClassic map at least. I have the kamikaze attack box checked on but have never ever seen the AI do a kamikaze attack but maybe I've never been in a situation where the AI thought it was a good idea. I still think the option is cool just for historical sake

a classic.

@taplayerzz I'll give some empathy and say almost every game I play online is full of hackers/scriptkiddies so ya maybe he has come across a scriptkiddie that can fudge his dice ... can this happen on TripleA?
@darksend all I can say on my end (I only play the WWIIClassic map ever) is that sometimes it feels like the AI is the only one who can rock its Anti-Aircraft which I rarely hit but really whether you are using "Low-Luck" dice options which is more consistent and less variable ... or use the regular dice settings ... I am sure the random number generator for the dice isn't fooling you or you should submit a bug report but we are all pretty sure the computer dice is working properly but, anyways, test it yourself just a few more times and then get back to us
good luck!
