Oh, and it’s the long java error message. Does anyone know what to do? I’ve tried installing latest java but that’s not it

[LennardF]

@gamerman01 I found my old password but… I also noticed that things had been switched to TripleA - switching back to axisandallies.org caused the software to find my password again. My password isn’t 4 characters long but, like you, it shows four bullet points so that must just be what the program does.

[gamerman01]

So did it work? Thanks for the info

[Witt]

@gamerman01 blimey! I haven’t tried. I hope I am okay . ( I hate change!).
Good luck guys .

[LennardF]

@gamerman01 Yep, I was able to take my turn just now.

[gamerman01]

Shoot, I’m able to do that on one computer but not the other. (switching to the axisandallies forum from triplea)

Back to the drawing board

[gamerman01]

I also have an issue with the objectives tab.
The computer that has the password and can play on the forum is the same one that does not have the objectives tab. Version of TripleA is the same on both computers.

And the laptop has the objectives tab but can’t play by forum because of the password issue. The two together can do my gaming, but when I’m away from home… out of luck :cry:

@gamerman01 probably the map on one of them is out of date. Check that in download maps

[gamerman01]

Thanks Simon - I went to triplea forums and I think I might be onto something. Somebody else had the same problem and the same versions (2.5.22294 and java 11.0.6) and I’m following the solution right now. Downloading a pre-release version of Triple A 2.6 - will keep everyone posted

Getting stuck.
Can’t even find BM3 in maps. Probably making things worse, though I did find how to change the default number of runs in the battle calc - sweeeeeet

It is packaged up in “World War II 1940 Global”

[gamerman01]

OK, I do have World War II 1940 Global on both computers - have all along, I think.

I don’t know why I have the objectives tab on one and not the other. Is that why you said the map might be out of date? I removed the Global map and installed it again - same version I had - still no objectives tab :(

Still have the forum password problem.

Thanks for helping! Any other things I can try?

[simon33]

I reckon it isn’t picking it up rather than there being something else wrong

This could be because the original BM was installed on it. Before BM was included in the map package. I think you had to unzip the map package and put some other stuff in it. If you can find this, you could resolve the problem. HTH. Just one idea.

@gamerman01 @Soulblighter moving this here if that is alright since this is the discussion page. I was going to add that the 97 attack is a bit less common now I think so the sub in 98 is less common too. I tend to place my bid to constrain G1 choices so usually subs in 91 and 106 or around the UK.

I think gamerman is right that the bid has gotten a little high. But if and when @axis-dominion, @JDOW and @Adam514 rejoin the league, we might find it a little low. :)

idk. I don’t think it changes anything for g1. I saw a few interesting choices for allied bids. Mostly regarding putting a transport near SA to get those two inf faster north and a marine near india. I think those two make more sense as they allow uk to deal with a few things uk needs to deal with fast.

[gamerman01]

I’m guilty of keeping a conversation going in the wrong thread - AGAIN

Thanks Farmboy

[gamerman01]

Man it hurts to lose that destroyer/transport off Canada (106)

Subs to UK in favorite G1 targets would seem to be the most effective. 110, 111, 106

To me the game is all about the German/Russian front, as in earlier versions, and as it should be. Raising chance to bring down German planes and/or saving some fleet is the best use of a bid IMO.

I always take sub 98 and hit 97 because I got burned by skipping 97 once. Hard. Probably did the wrong thing. Italy went wild and helped on India, and that’s curtains.

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 I like the gib air base move as my UK1. It doesn’t knock the italian fleet out but it contains it and conserves the UK navy to threaten both Germany and Italy. So the sub in 91 both protects that cruiser (which I’ve also seen as a target that can mess up my UK plans) and gives you a way to hit the Italian destroyer without trading your own or risking a plane.

@soulblighter I do the marine in India if I’m confident that axis aren’t going for a J1 or J2 (some players are pretty consistently a J3). I’m sure a transport off SA works well if you are going to hit Italy in Africa hard on UK1/2 and get the Mid East. But the subs in the Atlantic make German naval attacks riskier and I find it helps me set up the allies in the atlantic more quickly.

[Soulblighter]

@gamerman01 I agree, but G1 needs to get rid of the fleet either way. Also 106 is a 50/50 shot regardless. So it feels pointless to put something there. It would be better to put something somewhere where you know it will be effective, like the 98 sub.
