When posting the turn summary from within TripleA I get an error
If I try to post the turn summary manually to the forum I get the follwoing error message back
Sorry, you are not allowed to post link
The TripleA turn summary contains a link, an for some reason I’m not allowed to post any link?
Hi Qwert, if you could attach the file you are working with, I can have a look at it.
Also, for a test game, please don’t use the league section, use the general “Play Boardgames” section. The league section is for official league games.
What if your opponent does not use TripleA? How would you go about using it as a map reference? Use Edit Mode?

It’s hard to justify playing with 2 different map programs, given the extra labor necessary.
But in such a circumstance (where one player would only use Triplea, the other player only Battlemap), you could use edit to adjust the TripleA map to the Battlemap map posted, and then execute your turn. The simplest way (for the TripleA user) would be to do the opponent’s turn in Local Mode and then use edit to make the map look like your opponent’s Battlemap map. Then do your turn.
Then the opponent would adjust his Battlemap map to look like the new TripleA map, and play his turn on the forum. And so on.
Personally, that’s too tedious for me.
How does bidding work when you use TripleA?
How does bidding work when you use TripleA?
Up to the players. An auction bid (via pm, email, or conversation) with pre-game placement is typical.
When you’re ready, go to Game Options, and input the bid before you start the game.
Can I practice the move in TripleA playing local as far as dices are involved?
Do I have to open TripleA in Pbem from the beginning of the turn (purchasing) till the end?
I am used to doing like this to prevent mistakes and accidents:
1)I practice in local then I save the file
2)Start pbem and do the combat
3)I save the file to prevent blackout or even if I am short of time and want to put off the rest of the turn
4)I do the non combat move and placement
5)I end the turn and save again.
If I do all this and conclude the turn of the nation, do I create a mess in the forum?

I believe that all works fine. I know there are instances where you might need an OOL, so I think you can save then restart.
It is only at the end of your turn when you click 3 check boxes and then click post to forum will the turn post.
When you want to do your “real turn”, you load your map, hit play by email, then you login again with your A&A org name password. Then you are good to go.
Ah…very nice…just read the thread. I will be doing this very soon. This will probably be the new way we do PBF here I assume. I don’t know about everybody else, but I’m sure they would agree, typing out the moves gets pretty old after a while. :wink:
Indeed, the advantages of Triplea compared to Battlemap are even more pronounced playing Global. In addition to the time saved by not having to type or meticulously check maps, it’s way less stressful if I don’t have to worry about myself or my opponent misinterpreting the rules or accidentally placing more or less units than required.
I get an error message saying missing refresh header.
Any advice?
@Infrastructure:

When does this happen?
Do you have the latest TripleA (1.5.2.1) installed?
Did you update your maps to the latest versions?
when I hit test post I get
Hidden field ‘num_replies’ not found on page
Any suggestions?
post a screenshot of what you have filled in on the pbem page
He meant the screenshot of the filled in pbem page before you get that message.
hmmm I must be missing something. That’s the message that popped up after I filled what you see on the screen out. When I hit the pbem it just lists some email providers. Is there a different page somewhere? I’ll go through the directions again. Thanks for the reply.
the topic ID must be a number
like, for example, the topic id for THIS thread is 25868
so go make a new thread in the play by forum section, then take that topic id, and put it into triplea
Thank you
the “TO” and the “CC” must be different email addresses
(and both must be filled in with at least 1 address)
(and all addresses must be registered with the dice server: http://dice.tripleawarclub.org )
Thanks
