This version is completely backwards compatible with 1.6.1.4 savegames and 1.7.0.1 savegames. It will also run all savegames from 1.5.2.1 onward.
(You can install more than 1 version of TripleA at a time, and run them all at the same time.)
For a full changelog see here:

Please report any bugs encountered here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=44492&atid=439737
If you find bugs, I really can’t do much about them unless you upload an autosave. It will save me tons of time if you give me an autosave / or save game made sometime before the bug occured. Also mention what map the bug occurred on, and copy and paste the error if there is one.
Your save games are in a folder right next to where the maps are:
(Windows XP) C:\Documents and Settings\userName\triplea
(Windows 7) C:\Users\userName\triplea
(Mac) /home/user/documents/triplea/
(Linux) /home/user/triplea/
[They are NOT in program files. They are in a folder in your user account.]
When you are making a post, click the “More Options” button. From there click “Upload a file”.
Simply upload the autosave, or other save, to your post.
I really really appreciate savegames, it makes my life a lot easier.
Please also describe what happened before the bug occurred, and copy and paste the full error message, and of course say what map and what version of TripleA you were using!

thx,

I thought it couldn’t be bundled with the official board games?
such things as game rules, how to play a game, game concepts, etc, can not be copyrighted or trademarked or patented
the only things hasbro/avalon have are trademarks for the art and for the rulebook and for the name “Axis & Allies” (and the various names of their board game releases)
triplea is 100% legal and 100% in the right
(so long as we never use their art, or their text, or their logo, or their name)
Thank you Veqryn,
btw what does AAWC mean - what is this bundle good for?
its for a different club, all it does is include some of their games (the “classic_variations” games)
I noticed that I have to allow java.exe to pass through the firewall when using the dice server.
In versions prior to 1.7.0.3 I had to allow javaw.exe instead of java.exe.
What is behind this?
Edit:
I have to correct:
It seems that it was only the very first dicing where java.exe had to pass the firewall.
It has only been javaw.exe after that.
2nd edit:
I now proved from the firewall log that the very first contact to the dice server was via java.exe (IP 173.255.229.134 Port 80).
Once it had been allowed all other contacts to the dice server go via javaw.exe.
From that moment on java.exe has never tried to access the web again.
i changed the default download for windows to be the: “without java” version
it used to be the “with java” version
so this means the new download requires you to have java installed on your computer (unless you specifically click and download the “with java” version)
so instead of running the java that comes with triplea, the default one will run the java on your computer
i did this because including a JRE with an application limits the max memory to 1gb. If you still want the JRE included, make sure you download the ‘with java’ version.
I always download the “without java” version, as I have the latest JRE installed on my system.
I only wondered because my firewall alerted me that on my first dicing with 1703 java.exe tried to access the internet.
Normally, javaw.exe does that, as I described.
Is it possible to separate the aa gun fire when there are multiple bombing runs on different facilities?
its on the todo list
thank you sir
Where would we be without Veqryn…
It is awesome!
On a side note, with the added versatility of being able to edit the political situation, I created a free for all global 1940 game, picked one country and went at it. Quite fun seeing Germany attack Italy on the first turn. My rules for winning include controlling EVERY territory and having ALL of the tech. Fastest turn count wins!
I guess the only thing I couldn’t was seperate the UK/India; they were still allies. :lol:
I forgot I made a few changes like change the French pieces in London to UK and vice versa, and I gave India Sumatra and Java and ANZAC Celebs to begin with.
fyi, a new triplea is out
