Blends on makes the units easier to see in certain areas such as Italy and ANZAC

@fmerwinrommel

It looks like the fix discussed in

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37967/triplea-posting-to-forum-currently-does-not-work

will resolve your issue, too.

That’s fine. Thanks for the update.

Ok…  my mistake, reinforcing after the battle is allowed.  Thinking back to the original game where you had to move everything in combat.  Not a bug…  IJN moving navy towards south america and getting stuck due to the canal being closed…  this is a bug with the Hard AI.

Changes for Global 1940 version 3.0

Added all technology to Global 1940. Allowed paratroopers to be moved in a second combat movement phase. Made bonus for Mech Infantry work correctly. Made Rockets go 4 spaces and not fly over neutrals. Allowed UK_Pacific to share the cost of researching technology. Made British share all technology with UK_Pacific. Allowed Convoy Blockades to roll dice (you can turn this off in game options). Allowed Low Luck for Strategy Bombing and Rockets to be set again. Stopped British air units from dying if UK_Pacific was building a factory under them. Forced Tactical Bombers to only be able to target airfields and harbours. Allowed Submarines to enter any sea zone during non-combat, but end movement if there is an enemy Destroyer present.

(and a TON more fixes that were fixed in the TripleA engine [not the map files])

Clarifications about TripleA 1.6 and TripleA 1.5.2.1, and using both at the same time:

Can you play TripleA 1.5.2.1 savegames on TripleA 1.6?
Savegames are incompatible due to the new features i’ve added to 1.6
Keep 1.5.2.1, and download 1.6, and you can run them both at the same time (use 1.5.2.1 for your 1.5.2.1 savegames, and 1.6 for your 1.6 savegames)
The only time savegames are ever compatible, is if it is the 4th digit that is the only digit that changes.
Example: 1.5.2.1 to 1.5.2.2 would be compatible
while 1.5.2.1 to 1.6 is not compatible

Can someone with TripleA 1.5.2.1 play against someone using TripleA 1.6?
No, you must both be using the same version.  
But don’t worry, you can have BOTH versions on your computer.  
When you want to continue your ongoing game that you started with 1.5.2.1, then use 1.5.2.1.
When you want to start a new game with someone who also has 1.6, then use 1.6

If I download Global version 3.0, will I not be able to continue or start games using TripleA 1.5.2.1?
No.
Global version 3.0 contains both 3.0 and 2.9, that way you can use 3.0 with TripleA 1.6, and use 2.9 with TripleA 1.5.2.1
The 2.9 version is named “World War II Global 1940 Alpha”
The 3.0 version is named “World War II Global 1940 Alpha Future”
You will see both of them in your list when you are using TripleA 1.6,
And you will only see the 2.9 version in your list when you are using TripleA 1.5.2.1

Unstickied for now, as content and links are outdated.
A possible update is pending.

We also have this article covering almost the same content:

@redrum:

Yeah it would be good to update or remove this post now. It would be good to review all the stickied posts in the software subforum.

Unstickied today, I am about to create a new thread collecting the latest relevant links.

Free software , free server for battle via internet, fast thinking playable AI, and non-stop development by software team,  all of these let me say Triple A is the best AA relative software I seen

although someone said the AI of TripleA is not very well at all (at least the AI  is much better than that of other AA sorftware, eg. Hasbro Axis and Allies), it save lots of time when you are playing with humans, and the mistake made by AI partners make the game much challenging when playing solo …
