when trying to open the file, I got a message inviting me to re-install TripleA as there was a newer version. After reinstallation the problem wasn’t solved. Do you have any idea what’s going on?

[mike64]

when you go to triplea download page do not hit large red box. that would give a 2.5 version. below the box are three links. chose the one with prerelease in it. follow and download the latest 2.7 version. 2.7 will open 2.5 or 2.6 or 2.7 versions. there are 4-5 numbers after any version that are not as important. you can install 2.7 over the 2.5 or have both versions on your computer. to have both select install different directory. you may want to name shortcut 2.7 if doing both. a little fuzzy on shortcut naming.one reason for keeping more than one are to play other people who have 2.5 version. also the PLAY ONLINE area with the lobby and where you play live is 2.5. if you have 2.7 only you will get a download list when you hit the game link in the forum thread. you can then hit OPEN FILE in list and it will launch triplea and game file. if you have more than one version and want to play 2.5 then after the download list shows up ignore it and open your apps list and select the version you want. when on start page you can select LOCAL version for now and later on can move on to sending dice rolls to opponent. hope this helps. was doing from memory so may be a little off

clicking on prerelease brings me to the page in annex

clicking on the title gives me the 2nd page:

I cannot find any dowload button on these pages.

Btw, I’m also on Mac computer

@mike64
it now works perfectly, only one question. I first played axis and now I’m invited to play for the Russians.

do you want us to start anew and me playing for the allies. Is that what you want me to do?

[mike64]

I will play Russia and post link. as I said I was having some difficulties

A few questions:

1. I saw that the Chinese met some national objective and got ext PU’s. What was the objective?
2. Battle in sea zone 96: why do the Italians receive a first strike? …shouldn’t the presence of the British destroyer nullify that?
3. In that same battle: why can the subs fire a second time in the same round, as they already had a first strike?

[mike64]

lionel v mike g40 FRANZ 1.tsvg you can check objectives by clicking objective box upper right side of screen. #1 Chinese get 6 PU bonus if own India Burma Yunnan Szechwan at end of turn. Also get to purchase artillery if they own same four at start of turn. this is an important objective and most players attack Yunnan with either 3-4 land units and four planes round 1. #2 did not verify but I guess that may have not been a first strike. the software may roll subs separate because they can not hit planes. #3 do not believe the sub rolled in the second round. there was a destroyer that rolled at two.
