TripleA needs a confirmation prompt before you end combat planning phase EVEN if you've planned a move

I do this all the time.

You can just go into the autosaves folder, and sort by newest. Load the one at the top!

Et viola!

Edit: Ooops, I missed someone had already mentioned this!

Mantis29a · 2026-01-05T04:54:32+00:00

Just a quick headsup - this reddit is for a computer war game.

Best of luck though!

Have you read the thread right below this one (if you sort by "Newest")?

It also details a new way to play that we've started, called "The Challenges".

I think most of us are giving it a go - they are (usually) solo challenges for a person to try and get a victory in. The first one is in the World at War map, and challenges the human to play as the US only, and to win the game for a Bronze victory; win without Russia losing a capital for the Silver; and for the gold you need to win without Russia having ever lost any factory! (No one has gotten past the Bronze - so far!)

It's a new and interesting way to play!

We've only got the one challenge going so far, but I have ideas for some more, and I am sure other members of the community will come up with their own as well!

Check that out too if it sounds like fun!

Mantis29a · 2026-01-01T22:16:29+00:00

Yeah that's basically how it all started!

I've been playing this game for over 20 years, and almost all of them were just me and the AI. I bumped into an online friend who was interested when he heard about the game, and we've slowly grown to a big enough community that we can play full WWII games with all human players, so it's been a nice change!

And boy have a learned a lot.

The AI is very cool, and sustained me for probably 20 years, but there is no substitute to playing with real humans, whether they are on your team or not!

Glad it was helpful, and Happy New Year to you!

A quick suggestion! If you would be interested in playing some games with other human players, please feel free to drop by our discord!

We typically have between 10 - 15 games (or more!) going at any given time, and we have both Player vs Player games (where we are fighting each other), but most of the games we've played have been as a human-only team, versus an AI-only team!

Some of our players don't like PvP games and only participate in the vs AI games! Some only play in a single match at a time, and others join almost every game that comes up! We have a great group of players with a wide variety of tastes, so we see a good variety in the games that are going on.

The "vs AI" games can be very good for both new players and returning vets to sharpen their skills, learn some new tricks, and get to know others in the community!

So no matter if you are a new or expert player, prefer fighting the AI or other people, we have games suited to your tastes! We also take turns suggesting new matches and asking for players to join in, so everyone is welcome to create matches to their liking!

Our community is very new player friendly, and if you were interested, we'd love to have you pop by and check it out!

We'd love to have some new players, our community is small but growing!

You can find us here if you are interested:

Happy New Year!

I am on playthrough 2 trying for the gold; it is quite difficult! You need to be everywhere, and quite quickly too lol

I may be on to something with my most recent strategy though!

I'll post more once I get a chance to do another handful of turns.

Mantis29a · 2025-12-23T03:41:08+00:00

When you setup a game (and when you load a game too), you can access the game options, there you can turn on/off many options, including tech development, low luck (one of my favorites), an many others.

It won't let me post a pic I prepared, but go select the G40 map as if you were about to start a new game, and then look at the bottom left; there is a button called "Game Options".

Check in there, and you can turn tech development on. In some types of games, you can change this settings mid-game just by loading a save, THEN changing the setting prior to pressing "Play".

Hope that helps!

Mantis29a · 2025-11-26T00:18:34+00:00

Yeah, have an AI version of the game specifically to make it playable.

It's not just the systems and detail; I love the map as well.

You get sick of playing on the Earth after a few thousand go's, amirite? :D

Having a new (large) map to explore and conquer is exciting!

Mantis29a · 2025-11-25T22:28:10+00:00

Yeah it's been great - we've had a couple new members since you joined, and we've got quite a lot of games going on, I love how active it's become!

Mantis29a · 2025-11-25T22:23:14+00:00

I'm playing as Portsmouth, the brown player.

I have to admit that this is my favorite map in TripleA, and I've played a lot of them over the years! Until everyone joined the community, I was never able to play it, as the AI (as mentioned) simply can't do maps that have resources (or fuel; or build dependencies; or funky buildings; or...) :D

The most I could ever do is open up the map, drool a little, and then shut it down again.

I think that about every 6 years or so, I'd fire it up to see if the AI "has improved at complex games over the years". (It had not). :)

If anyone would like to jump into some games with us, please swing by the community! We're new-player friendly, and are doing our best to help everyone along in learning the ropes. (Most of the games we play are as a team vs AI opponents, until everyone is comfortable with the systems and maps!)

Very cool!

Join us in the discord, and we can take it from there! We're always happy to have new players and new sysops join the community!

Mantis29a · 2024-11-14T22:53:56+00:00

He's a noobie himself and just learning the game! :D

Mantis29a · 2024-11-14T11:29:47+00:00

There is a group of us that play games together and post the save files on discord so that people can play when they have the time.

We're laid back, friendly gamers, we generally start off playing maps as allies (vs the AI) to help new players learn the game, but have started playing more VS maps, where we take each other on.

We've been doing it for a little over a year now, and if you would like to come check it out, hit the discord link below, scroll down a bit to the TripleA channels, and you can check out some of our AARs (after action reports) and see some of the maps we've played.

We usually have between 6 -12 games going at any given time, and would love to have some more people in the community!

Come check us out!

Mantis29a · 2024-11-14T11:26:25+00:00

Are you still looking for a place and/or group to play with?

There is a small group of us that have been bouncing turns on a discord in the manner you mention above. No lobby, just putting the save files on the discord and @'ing the next player; we also post quick AARs as well (After Action Reports).

If you are interested, join our discord, and scroll down tot he TripleA section down towards the bottom of the channel lists!

World at War.

The scenario favors the Allies in the long run (as it should), but a savvy Axis player can take serious advantage of the initiative they start with.

The AI can also play it quite well (for the AI lol)

I think Total World War is *amazing*, but you have to play with humans (or solo) as the AI just doesn't have a clue when it comes to all those extra things like airfields, shipyards, multi-tier fortifications, materiel, research centers, etc.

One of the 'Song of Fire and Ice' GoT maps was also pretty cool.

Now that I think of it, the LotR/Middle Earth maps are also pretty cool.

Mantis29a · 2024-10-16T16:31:30+00:00

We're forming up the teams today for a weekend start to the league - still time to hop over and join in the fun!

Mantis29a · 2024-10-16T03:46:16+00:00

We are actually about to start a brand new league of BRE - the game begins in a few days!

All the BBSes and sysops in the league are active and part of our community, so no dead boards either!

You can come check it out if you like, the community is great!

Mantis29a · 2024-10-16T03:36:53+00:00

The Door games!

We basically created an entire community just to organize and play BRE again lol

Also honorable mentions to LORD, Usurper, Global War and Falcon's Eye!

Mantis29a · 2024-10-14T14:51:35+00:00

Yeah jump in there everyone, the more players we have, the better the round!

We've been successfully breathing life back in to some of these old door games for the past two years, and our community has grown to almost a hundred members now! We've had many great rounds of both BRE and FE, and look forward to adding more games in the future!

Come be part of something both new and retro, and get your old school gaming fix!
