@Shin:

Is anyone else using the new TripleA that just came out?  I’m seriously considering switching back to an older version at this point - it’s such a resource hog!  My computer can barely run it.

Could try build 3160. I understand it has some performance improvements in it.

[majikforce]

Can’t load any of my games started with the triple A 1.9 2984 version.  Its keeps saying I need to download a map and then everything goes haywire.  Any thoughts on how to fix this?

[gamerman01]

I had trouble with 1.9 too, and tried several different versions of it.
Maybe stick with 1.8, the last stable version
Or are you in midgame like I was?  I used a different computer and then was OK

[majikforce]

I am actually mid game in two of my games.  Do you know if the different 1.9 v are compatible?

[gamerman01]

Actually I do
Dominion has been using a different 1.9 than me and we’ve been OK so far
I’m using 3160 currently

[simon33]

For the record, build 2984 is not forwards compatible with build 3010 onwards. Not sure about builds in between.

Build 3010 and on are backwards and forwards compatible with each other as far as I can tell.

[simon33]

Note to all players on build 2984 of 1.9 or similar (build 3010 forwards should be exempt):

A file this build depends on has been removed from the internet. Here is the workaround. Download attached triplea_maps.yaml file to whatever directory you have installed this build to. Update the game_engine.properties to point to this file. In fact, I can attach both files, they shouldn’t be system dependent.

I had to zip both files to get past the forum software restrictions.

Can you load transports in a sz with an enemy sub, combat the sub and move the transports out to make an amphibiuous assault elsewhere?  I know you could ignore the sub but by fighting it don’t you lose the ability to load transports and move them out?

No.  Yes.  (I think).

See the FAQ for more detail, particuarly this section where I’m one one asking and Gamer and others explain the rules.

Also, this.

[gamerman01]

I tried Zhukov’s links to see what they said, but I couldn’t find his post or this subject

Yes you can load transports in a sea zone with an enemy sub and move the transports to amphibiously assault elsewhere, and also attack the enemy sub with a destroyer at the same time

From page 13 - “all combat movement is considered to take place at the same time”
Subs can be ignored for combat movement purposes, except for the unescorted transport exception

Also see last paragraph on page 13 - after one read, I’m pretty sure that’s clearly saying you can both load and move out for an amphibious assault, and attack the sub with a destroyer.

[majikforce]

But if a destroyer was present you couldn’t do both correct?  Only because its a sub and can be ignored for combat movement it works. Right?

[gamerman01]

Right, totally different if a destroyer is there.
You can’t load the transport unless you just declared war on the power who owns that destroyer
Destroyer makes the zone hostile

[simon33]

@majikforce:

No different if you have a destroyer there though. Is that what you are asking? You can still combat movement through that territory even though most of the sub’s abilities are negated by the DD.

[gamerman01]

That’s confusing. 
He’s talking about a destroyer that’s in the same zone as a transport

[simon33]

@Gamerman01:

That’s confusing.

If he’s referring to a defending destroyer you can ignore what I said.

[gamerman01]

OK, I see, thanks
Yeah he meant a defending destroyer

[Karl7]

so here’s a dumb question:

You CAN convoy China?  I thought you couldn’t.  :-P

Thanks

China can’t be convoyed, it’s against the rules.
