I just discovered this website last week when looking for a way to play axis and allies (classic spring 1942 WWII) on my iPhone since there is no iOS version of the game. I found this site after it was referenced in multiple forums as being the best AAA gameplay out there. I signed up and enjoyed playing the Africa land war intro map and have now been trying to seek out the classic 1942 map just to play solo against the computer. I discovered some maps require a premium or extreme account and I cannot find a way to upgrade for the life of me. Now I’m noticing the forum comments are all at least 3 years old. Guess I missed the party. : (

Hello Erich,

The original two versions of BATTLE FORCES were based on Flash. It required Flash to play, something that was usually included with browsers. This easy access allowed a fun group of players to grow and enjoy BATTLE FORCES.

Unfortunately due to security and maintenance concerns, Flash support began to be dropped from popular web browsers about three years ago. This had a direct effect on attracting new players and allowing existing players to play. As a result, active players have dropped.

Until recently, we have not had the time or resources for the large rewrite required to move BATTLE FORCES from Flash to a newer technology. Fortunately this has now begun. As you have experienced our new version can be played without flash. There is still much to do, but as we round out the features, we expect new players to discover us and enjoy a growing user base.

2020 will be the year of BATTLE FORCES growth! Stay tuned for enhancements and additions all year long.

See you on the battlefield,
The BATTLE FORCES Team

Hello pulsar110,

Great to have you back on BATTLE FORCES again.

Yes please, we definitely need to kick off a push to attract new players. The new version is working well, and it will be fun for everyone to get some more games going with more players. So anything you, or anyone on BATTLE FORCES. can do to spread the word would be greatly appreciated! Also if anyone has some recommendations on some high return promotional ideas, please let us know.

Thank you for playing,
The BATTLE FORCES team

thanks for your note.

one question, are any multi-player games being active or starting up right now? it seems like the same multiplayer games have been listed for a while; i don't see any new ones that have been getting started at all. can you please advise? thanks.

I am registered in a couple, just waiting for some others to join. Only need two more I think for Hex Armada to start.
A world powers game started with three others just the other day, it is going well but second place is the best i will score in that one, hopefully even.
So join a few and they will fill up.

Yeah, it is time to spread the word. It is wicked game when the games fill and start. Anticipation is great, but not if you have to wait too long.
