@gamerman01 To anybody really a rules question. If germany manages to obtain, all necessary vcs on its turn, and then the uk takes 1 eg volgograd back, but then Italy takes that on his turn, does that count as holding all necessary VCs continuously for 1 turn? The game engine thinks this is an axis win, but I feel this doesnt count as continuous? I think the PE section of the notes agrees with this? Many thanks

[gamerman01]

No. Axis has to go to the end of the UK’s next turn after the one where Italy re-took Stalingrad. UK taking Stalingrad stopped the clock and the Axis have to start it again by getting 8 cities

@gamerman01 Phew! Thanks for that…can hang on for another turn at least now!

[gamerman01]

I’m sure you know, if you’re playing balanced mod, that if he controls Tokyo you have to get 9 in Europe

[wizmark]

@gamerman01 Oh I know it, its getting it that is the trick!

[crockett36]

@oysteilo well thought out, sir. thank you for advocating for this a long time ago. glad to see it happen.

the next step would be “the triple crown.”

or the breakdown of the league/non-league system. just combine the two and include more. Then we could have a decathlon of axis and allies and see who the best all round player is.

@crockett36 I don’t understand what you are replying to.

[gamerman01]

I didn’t realize this for a long time -

Hover over the grey @oysteilo and it shows you the post he’s replying to - it was from a couple years ago :)

[crockett36]

@crockett36 shoot. I always forget this is not like other sites where comments are deposited under the pertinent quote. It was a quote from oysteilo from 2020 about starting an oob end of the year tournament

[crockett36]

@gamerman01 thanks man! Didn’t know that

Fortress America

Not directly A&A-related, but I will give it a try :-)

Does anyone know how to play Fortress America? I have bought the MB board game on eBay, read the rule book, watched YT videos, and we were still too stupid to start round one - too many questions were open. Frustrating. Maybe there was too much Axis & Allies in my head…

Yep, Love that game Just played it twice recently. What are your questions?

[Martin]

Wow, that was quicker than expected - awesome! Let me look into it again, and I will get in touch in a few days!

I’m having a problem loading a new map.

“This save was made by a newer version of TripleA”.

I’ve uninstalled TripleA, redownloaded and installed. Still broken.

Downloaded the latest version of Java (11.0.6). Still broken.

Redownloaded the World War II Global 1940 map. Still broken.

I’m out of ideas! Anybody know what to do?

[Sovietishcat]

@LennardF https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.6.14319 here you can find the new version. You only have to d/l the file from the folder where your pc puts it when you try to open it

[LennardF]

@Sovietishcat Thanks! Mouse over seems to be half broken now (only shows units for currently attacking forces) but otherwise… I’m back in business! Great turn around, tech support here is among the best in the business!

It is only mid-July, and there were already 30% more OOB games finished than during all the year 2022 (39 vs. 30).

Nice to see a revival and a few new players who joined! I assume with a lag of a year or two there might also be more BM games played (55 as of today vs. 153 in 2022).

PtV appears to remain stable (20 vs. 38).

Game on! :-)

Hey all, just wanted to drop in to say hello and that I miss gaming here with all of you. It’s been some time. Too bad I didn’t make a run for a three-peat this year, I guess I really needed a long break from all gaming in general. Anyway, I doubt I’ll be playing for a while longer still, but thought I’d check in nonetheless to see how everybody’s doing.

Thanks for checking in. it’s a good sign for your returning. What I noted is several good and active players disappeared from the league for a couple of years. And they are returning now. Eg, Adam, Roboto, you, and me. Let me know when you are ready for a game.

[farmboy]

@axis-dominion glad you are getting the break you need and looking forward to your return when you are ready!
