TripleA 1.6.1.4 stable is released for Christmas 2012!

This issue has been likely resolved. Please use a current pre-release version.

@FMErwinRommel Good find! As in Global “UK Pacific units” simply do not exist.
By the rules “All combat moves, combat, and noncombat moves are made or conducted as any other power’s single, united force.”
So the TripleA battle calculator seems to somehow “sort” those units depending on whether they are on the European side of the map or on the Pacific side of the map.

Interestingly this does not occur with sea units. Those are correctly represented as being “British”, even on the Pacific side of the map.

@redrum :

In the attached savegame please use the BattleCalculator and look at SZ 37 and 39. The UK ships are correctly represented as “British”. The Infantry units in Malaya instead are incorrectly represented as “UK Pacific”, while they should be “British”, too. Switching to “British” sets everything to “Zero”. This is not exactly @FMErwinRommel 's scenario, but good enough to represent the issue.

Hello,

i love Triple A, but in the 1.7.0.1 version the objections don’t seem to be working anymore.

If you capture Stalingrad or Leningrad the 5 ipc is not counted. Only if you capture all of them (so russia too).

The same goes with the muliple objections (iraq, persia …) from Italy and (hawaii, calcuta) from Japan

Will have a look.

FYI: please use the official sourceforge bug tracker for all future bugs.

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

Triple A is easily, hands down, my preferred method of playing turn based strategy games.  So many great options and flexibility to ensure things are governed by the engine.  Personally I feel all the added features are nice and since you can turn them all off with a single click they are also not a distraction if I wish to eliminate them from play.  Many add to the atmosphere of the game and while they might appeal to the more juvenile side of my personality isn’t that what escaping to the fantasy of a video game is all about?

Cmdr Jennifer obviously all the efforts you have put into ABattlemap make you biased  towards your own work, and that is understandable.

Just to sum up what happened at the end of this thread:

TripleA is very much alive. It got purged of any name references to the boardgame, but the maps resembling the official boardgame in setup support the complete rulesets of all the versions out there.
More important, in my eyes, it features some user made maps with different themes. Some of them are aimed at the advanced player (like New World Order - NWO1.7EB, for example), with the positive side-effect of having a mannered and above-average skilled community around them. The large maps tend to value strategic thinking above tactical assessment.
