[questioneer]

I downloaded version 2.8 recently- did you???  Shouldn’t be a problem though.  I’ve played with mixed versions before.

[boldfresh]

i am so clueless as to what is happening in this game…  :lol:

so apparently you can run an entire turn and all the battles but then close tripleA before posting and everything gets erased and you can start your turn again?  how can that be possible?

It’s not possible if the dicey is working right.  Your opponent ought to receive the dice emails from your combats.  If your opponent is receiving emails for the same battle twice then something is obviously not right.

Just like Battlemap, if you value your time you should save the file often.

[questioneer]

bump - UK turn.  Did you get things worked out???

[boldfresh]

yeah i think so just really busy right now, will try to move soon

[boldfresh]

is there two french inf and a ftr in the united kingdom to start??

[boldfresh]

so there are 4 aa guns to start on the UK?  i assume when they are attacked by air, only one gets to shoot still right?  but i think i read they can be taken as casualties but have no defensive value after the opening fire?  please confirm these - i wish i had the time to read the rules right now but if you could just give me info that is relevant to the UK turn right now, would be appreciated.  you can have the win in this game if it is a league game, in return for giving me some lessons… :-)

[boldfresh]

why do i have two different looking infantry in egypt?

[boldfresh]

well i did my turn but didn’t hit post turn summary.  apparently if you do not post, it goes on to the italian turn and all you can do then is just post the file?  clueless….

[questioneer]

If you didn’t hit post summary you can just save the game as is and then attach it- the history option allows me to look at what you did anyway but you should always post summary.

Yes, I like cheap wins- that’s fair in exchange for lessons. :-)

Ok, yes there are French units that start in England.

The different colored infantry are the ANZAC infantry that start in Cairo.

AA gun rules- each AA gun can only fire at 3 aircraft- thats why you have several.  Also, they can be used as fodder when defending.  So on England, you start off with 4 AA, if for some crazy reason German amphibed you right away you could used the AA guns to fire at any aircraft then soak up the hits from the attacker during the first round of fire if you want.  Pretty cool huh???  For SBRs, IC/bases have there own assumed AA “built in” to them, so there is no need to place an AA gun with a IC/base unless you want to protect the territory from unit attacks.

Convoy in TripleA is the same as Alpha 2 which is -2 per sub and -1 per ship.  This will be changed in the next version of TripleA to what the update for the 2nd edition G40 is now (Alpha 3 or Final Alpha).  Which is each ship (not TT) and planes on ACs in the convoy will roll a die (SS roll 2 dice).

If the roll is 4 or above there is NO convoy damage for that ship/plane.  If the roll is 3 or less (50% shot) then there IS convoy damage and that damage is all the dice that rolled 3 or less now added together.  Very risk/reward type of system.  The Alpha 2 version coincidentally is really an average of the Alpha 3 version so there isn’t much difference at all.

I still like the new version of convoy though.

SBRs- steps

1. Interceptors, escorts AND all bombers (tacs too) fire at 1 then all causualties removed and interceptors and fighters leave the scene.

2. Bombers and tacs are submitted to AA fire.

3. Bombers and tacs choose what bases/ICs to bomb

4. Roll 1 die for each bombers/tac.  Each bomber/tac damage on base IC is d6+2

Max on damage:  Bases 6, Major 20, Minor 6.

Any other questions???

[boldfresh]

Did i post the right file? So italy is up right?

[questioneer]

z33- While not at war the US cannot end any movement of its ships in Japanese sea zones.

You’ll have to redo the US NCM first

[boldfresh]

can you just edit the map?

what sea zone did i end in that is a japanese sea zone?  what qualifies a zone as japanese?

thanks

[questioneer]

Carolines is Japanese, and you are not at war.  You have to park the DD and SS elsewhere.  Yes you can edit the map.

[boldfresh]

if it’s not allowed why does the map allow it?  i thought tripleA calculated these things?

[questioneer]

It shouldn’t allow it, however it assumes you know a rule like that.  You’ll have to edit it.
