Interesting battle… After a very bad start, I almost won it with a surviving unit, then I didn’t. :)
Wasn’t sure if you would take the scramble. TUV made sense, but I feel like the Russian fighters are possibly the most valuable in the game.

Yes, I started a new local game in order to get the debug properties
-
@FMErwinRommel Can you start a game and roll or can you not start nor use someone else’s start?
-
I started a game with S.A. last week and tested Marti yesterday after he finally responded to scramble request. I did Marti test before doing any actual combat because I knew if it failed in the test that it wouldn’t work in actual combat. I started a test game at Panther’s request in order to get the debug results. Appears that I can start but not do combat for any new game, mine or someone else’s.

Java is the culprit, indeed.
@FMErwinRommelThis is the culprit:
java.runtime.version=1.8.0_66-b17 java.home=c:\program files\common files\i4j_jres\1.8.0_66Your are using a way outdated Java, that does not include the latest security certificates needed.
This old version had been installed by a bundled TripleA-version sometimes in the past.
You won’t find this Java version in the Control Panel, so you need to manually remove it.
Please use the Explorer to browse to c;\program files\common files\ and find the directory “i4j_jres”.Please delete the i4j_jres directory including its subdirectories manually.
After that download the latest version of Java 8 from
https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
and install it.It should work then.
Good luck - and ask back in case of questions. :smiley: -
@Panther Can I have a cup of Java? :)
-
Thanks Panther. I removed the old Java and installed the latest, both 32 and 64-bit, in order for it to work in the Triplea launcher, and marti test dice worked.
-
You are welcome :smiley:
Actually you don’t need both Java versions.
As you are on a 64bit Windows you only need the 64bit-TripleA-installation as well as the 64bit Java.In case you installed the 32bit TripleA version, you would need the 32bit Java, too.
I recommend that you use 64bit versions of both on your system. You can uninstall the 32bit versions, then.

Sure, with milk? :smiley:

Scramble planes in S. Italy against sz97 Taranto?
You have 2 Ita ftrs and a Ger TB. Attacking w/ dd, cr, cv, 3 ftrs & TB.
Decided to try Taranto for a change. Usually attack Ita army in Tobruk instead. -
@FMErwinRommel No scramble
-
Crappy dice. Lost all attackers in Eng Cha and didn’t sink the Ger BB, didn’t kill any Italians in Ethiopia, didn’t sink the Italian fleet on round 1. That’s why I wanted to hit the Ger BB with all available planes in UK instead of diverting a ftr to Taranto.

Ger & Ital rolled far above average and Brit rolled far below. Except Brit took no loss in sz96, where it could afford to have lost a sub. Now Ger BB can go home and repair and Italy can threaten Egypt in 2 turns. This starts me off at an immediate disadvantage.
-
@FMErwinRommel It could’ve come out great. With the fighters in Scotland gone, I was a bit surprised with Taranto especially with BB and 2 subs there. Hard call.
-
I can accept one bad dice battle in a turn, but 2 extremely bad and one below average is like going back to the first Italian round and second German round in our first game.
-
@FMErwinRommel 1 hit on French fleet in 97. OOL? Sub and strat attacking
-
sink the CR, hard decision.
-
@FMErwinRommel Yep, hard.
