@Pejon_88 Well said! Trulpen and I played. Fun and relaxed. Just the way I like it. This was when i was spitting into the wind with no or low bid for oob. Before AndrewAAgamer came along with a 60 bid and gave me renewed hope.

FYI:

The developer(s) of TripleA decided to call version 2.6.14752 ‘stable’.
So this is the version you get when you move to
https://triplea-game.org/download/

I hope they publish a “What’s New?” or add the Release Notes anytime soon.

However, there have been hundreds if not thousands of updates in four years since 2.5. TripleA software development is a continuous process.
If you are deeper interested you might want to check out the notes of all the pull requests that resulted in (pre-) releases on Github in the meantime until they publish something more:

@Amon-Sul and everyone interested:

I’ve used 2.6 a little and I like the warning it gives why making combat moves into a territory that the enemy could scramble to. Also, when you hover over a territory it shows the units in the status bar (which is a quick way to see what is in crowded territories).

Other nice things from the change log that look good:

• Can scroll map when prompts are visible
• Units with less movement are killed first
• Remaining movement of air untis displayed when picking casualties
• No retreat symbol when picking casualties

[FlyingBadger]

When setting up a game, I’d suggest checking with the opponent what major version of TripleA is to be used. I’m not sure about the backward / forward compatibilty of 2.6 with 2.5, but you can have both installed on the same machine, just have to make sure to load the right one.

Any one using the Post to Forum function in 2.6? Is it working well?

2.6 and 2.5 are NOT compatible. And PbF works just fine.

anyone know why in bm4 UK pac on turn 1 would not get their NO for no subs in the indian ocean, even tho all the conditions are met? they’re not at war yet, but the wording doesn’t require them to be at war with japan. it’s something i never noticed before, is it a bug or am i missing something here?

and here’s the game thread, it’s a team game with my cousins and one of them noticed it: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/40795/bm4-cousins-team-game-2024-1?_=1714352206348

only thing i can think of is that since they’re not at war yet, they can’t possibly have enemy subs that would violate this NO… but seems to me it should be more explicitly worded and made clearer in that case

[farmboy]

@axis-dominion I think it is the issue that you are not at war so Japanese subs are not enemy ones. But since there are enemy subs (German or Italian) that could hypothetically reach before one is at war with Japan, the text could be clarified. But I’m sure Adam can confirm/correct what I’m saying.

There should be an at war clause as well.

It’s what I always assumed but never bothered to check, took a newbie cousin to point it out since of course he’s reading and learning the objectives for the first time. Ok thanks for confirming!

maybe you guys can correct it in bm4.2, and while you’re at it make the battleships cost 18 and cruisers 11 like in ptv, or better yet, 16 and 10. :)

[gamerman01]

@axis-dominion

While that request is sitting there,
Tacs to 10, Fighters to 11 please
Maybe even subs to 7
Bombers to 13

I know my dreams will never come to fruition, so maybe I’ll get somebody cool like @oysteilo to play it with me

AD, cruisers might be OK at 12 if they are given anti-submarine capabilities of destroyers (along with marines being in play)

U re my man. Been saying all that a long time ago.

Maybe i would not lower down bombers to 13, especially if fighters go to 11.

As for the ships, battleship is definitely too expensive with 20, and cruiser offers too little for 12 (comparing to dd).

I also think mech infantry are bought in such big masses. Maybe move them towards 5 IPC and give them some little boost ?

[Amon-Sul]

I mean,

why would marine cost 5, and mech infantry 4?
