TripleA source code is now on GitHub

@barnee

Thank you, now I understand. It had been removed AFAIK and replaced by a log file.
See:
https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/2497/replace-console-logging-with-a-file
and
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/8436

That doesn’t explain why it was present in 2.5 though. I vaguely remember that “Show Console” might have been an option in the Engine Preferences what had been removed later.

@Bjn:

With no previous experience regarding TripleA, what will be the minimum specs running the program at a decent level? About to buy a PC mainly for Email use, various text programs, and possibly A&A!

Moderator’s edit: Added “TripleA” to title.

The program appears to written in Java.  I can’t imagine you need anything special from a hardware stand point to run it.

This is my favorite version of AA50 for tripleA!

It reminds me of those old stanley turner WW2 maps I enjoy or like Time Life from way back in the day, but with some topographical flare to it that I particularly dig. It’s like a classic callback to Iron Blitz, but subtle. I love it! Can’t believe it took me like 5 years to chance on this post hehe.

This Custom Mod should just be the default AA50 version in the tripleA repository as far as I’m concerned. It looks glorious! Love the unit detailing.

Also I was trying it out just now with some of the Iron War units that Frostion made shown below, which were among my favs for WW2 tripleA, and it looked killer that way too! I re-labelled and ported them earlier tonight to have something I could use for G40 units as well and the files totally worked for AA50 despite having like way more tanks than the game could ever use lol. When I found this map and was like oh damn, when did this one come along? 2017 I guess, well I still think it’s rad!!! Super clean map all around.

It would be awesome to see something like this for G40 at some juncture. When I pull up the vanilla AA50 or G40, just doesn’t look nearly as awesome as this Custom Mod map. Style points especially for the little designs in the reliefs. This Custom Mod AA50 is what I really wished the AA50 map might look like back when I initially put the rough baseline together. Lots of nice touches here, it’s got the charm for sure. Well done dude!
Truly, all the best

@jalingo:

OK apparently I can’t quote anything with a link either, but for those Mac users trying to get this to work…

For those still looking, you can download the legacy JRE 6 installer by googling “Java for OS X 2015-001”. I’d post the link, but I can’t :(. Anyhow it seems to keep getting moved / hidden but I found it in kBase (supportapplecom) and you can search there with the following article id: “dl1572”.

Welcome to the forum, jalingo, and thank you for your input.
Please note that the TripleA version you are referring to, is outdated.
So is the JRE 6, too.

TripleA 1.9 will be released soon, replacing version 1.8.0.9, and it needs Java 8.

everyone in the game can save the game at any point

so you can start a game, and save it later, and continue the next day

also, you can take a play by forum game and start playing it live in the lobby, and also you can take a live game and start playing it pbem.  the games can switch at any point you want.

okay thanks….I noticed it said I rolled a 3 and did 3 damage not 1+2. Thanks for the quick response.

F-Ya!

Verqyn and some others are HEROICALLY working on it, and making the game perfect.

Global 1940 Alpha+ 3.9 is working, (some final bugs to address)  Every other version of Axis and Allies is included (Save miniatures)!

The AA50 ladder is now up and running at TripleA War Club.

http://www.tripleawarclub.org/modules/comp/

The ladder is a rankings system, or an ongoing competition, using the TripleA program.  Ladder games are played on the lobby or via PBEM.

To join up, get an account with TripleA War Club and register for the ladder.

Each ladder match is a 2-game series, with each playing both Axis and Allies.

Like the Revised ladder, which used a set 9 bid, there is a set bid for the Allies in AA50.

41 low luck=11 bid
41 dice=8 bid
42 dice and ll=9 bid

Since every match is a 2-game series, the Ladder competition will soon provide reliable statistics on bids and game outcomes.

There are a wide variety of skill sets competing on the ladder…from novice to expert.
