A&A 1914 Triplea

@SuperbattleshipYamato I have not tried it that much also. It’s pretty fun. Yeah I would just use edit for that.

@SuperbattleshipYamato The TripleA mod does not fully implement the rules and the AI has problems (it doesn’t retreat out of losing battles during its turn). It is still fun to play.

Update to Version 3.53

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

@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.

FYI these are the vicotry conditions coded for Revised:

    <property name="Projection of Power" value="true" editable="true"><boolean></boolean></property>     <property name="Honorable Surrender" value="false" editable="true"><boolean></boolean></property>     <property name="Total Victory" value="false" editable="true"><boolean></boolean></property>

And for LHTR:

    <property name="Projection of Power" value="false" editable="true"><boolean></boolean></property>     <property name="Honorable Surrender" value="true" editable="true"><boolean></boolean></property>     <property name="Total Victory" value="false" editable="true"><boolean></boolean></property>

You can set Projection of Power, Honorable Surrender or Total Victory in the game options.

You can modify the values only by editing the respective game.xml.

As long as we’re talking battle calc, how about allowing the user to specify OOL?  Sometimes you want that bomber on defense to be taken last and see how much that changes your chances….

Or to hold subs back and not lose them first.  Can be very significant when you have super subs, like I often do.  :-)

Meanwhile, I will continue to rely on my more detailed and versatile calculator, even though it’s designed for AA50.  It still works better for Global than the TripleA calc, even though it does carriers different and doesn’t have tacs

I was just wondering if there will be new ABattlemap maps created for the upcoming A&A 1940 Pac/Europe games? I don’t have a ton of money to spend on new games - as much as I would love to own the physical board - so the computer software ABattlemap is my saviour at the moment.

So, anybody know or will this just inevitably be created? Thanks.

Sounds like the version you are using is still the “hacked” version that was never part of the sourceforge project.  Therefore, nothing is supported in your version, and nothing will ever be fixed in your version.  The unstable version at triplea.sourceforge.net are at least supported by the tripleA development team, so there may still be bugs with them, but at least any bugs will be fixed in future releases.

I’d recommend running (not walking) to triplea.sourceforge.net and downloading the lastest unstable release 0.9.4.1 (since no stable releases yet have support for PBEM).

Convince your opponent to use the same version - it shouldn’t be hard if they were using the same version you had (that you say doesn’t work any more).
