New TripleA Release 1.9 has been officially released on tripleadev-forum

@The-Captain

So the first post has the how to install triplea instructions. It’s dated but mostly still pertinent. Here’s the instructions

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/17147/gargantua-s-k-i-s-s-triplea-instructions/30

Once you get that done you will need to download a prerelease. We don’t want the most recent as they are still being fine tuned.

I use this one 2.7+14962 https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.14962

so it takes you here

You want the Windows 64 I don’t think 32 works still but it might. I’m just guessing you on windows 64 bit

This explains how to have multiple tripleas installed https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/3724/how-to-have-triplea-2-5-2-6-installed-at-the-same-time

you can also overwrite it and just have one when you install the pre but might as well have both :)

and then back to the top of the page. It shows you how to download manually but it’s easier to just download from triplea.

Latest Game Version is 2.54

So fire up triplea you should get this might look a little different on windows but same info

Note top left shows Engine Version 2.714962 that tells us we have the prerelease mentioned above. Go to Download Maps “Global 40 Expansion UHD Boxes”

Install

Note it usually takes 3 times to go to 100% and then back to 0% and then 100 again. It was worked on and maybe the newer pre has fixed it but that’s how it does it for me.

So wait until it just stops on 100%

Close takes you back to Start Screen. Then Select Game Screenshot from 2026-01-28 15-40-31.png

Then Start Local Game

Play

The first notification will tell which Game Version you have. 2.54 is latest

To have only certain “Game Options” selected after selecting the game but before starting it go to “Game Options”

Screenshot from 2026-01-28 15-47-29.png

The ones on the left are mostly just triplea stuff. You can see Type XXI U-boats bottom of 5th row. If you don’t want to use them, simply deselect.

Note after a game starts you can save and before you restart you can deselect or select an Option. It won’t kick in until Germany’s next turn though. Also it will still show up in the TimeTable.

If deselected before you first start the game it won’t show up. I’ll try and fix it for if you forget after Game Start to turn something off like I always do but then we usually have all options on :) Trout and I have started not using the XXI U-boats.

The Help tab top left has the in game “Game Notes” that explains how triplea implements the HRE rules.

you’ll want to drag the window down so it’s larger

Screenshot from 2026-01-28 15-54-03.png

unfortunately you have to close the window if you go somewhere else it’ll remain open or shrink it.

Didn’t used to be like that but i bitched for years about the change and was ignored as usual.

Anyway, you’ll want to read those. They’re mostly up to date but I’m still clarifying certain things and some of it has become dated. It’s mostly accurate though.

So if you can get triplea installed, which I believe you have in the past or perhaps that was someone else’s machine, you’ll be pretty much good to go.

I’ll show what my folders look like after it’s installed next

Edit
So most likely if you have any trouble it will be with the install. If we have to, we’ll ask Panther to help but I think you should be OK.

Just hit yes on all the prompts and then follow the Dogs instructions for having multiple tripleas installed. He’s on windows so should be easier to follow.

This is what my Triplea looks like after it’s installed. I have a Big T TripleA and a small t triplea.

The Big T is where the releases go and some other stuff

Edit
Missed a shot. This is the Big T folder

Screenshot from 2026-01-29 08-53-24.png

So you can see 14962 is in there and then I have another release 15330 which is in a different folder. That’s basically how you have more than one.

The small t folder is the one you’ll be using. That’s where the downloadedMaps and savedGames are

Screenshot from 2026-01-28 16-22-01.png

savedGames you’ll be using a lot. You’ll be adding and deleting to them as your games progress.

The hilighted one is our current multi with Alex Panzer and Trout :)

All the final saves are in the Game Threads but I have them all saved in a separate folder as well.

If I ever get real bored or find the time I’ll update Victory’s spreadsheet thingy with all the results :) Have to figure out how to do it first :)

Oh yea I probably should put this up top but you will want a game specific email for the die rolls and to register with the Marti dice Server. You should use either protonmail or GMX as they both work.

Idk if gmail or the yahoos are working now or not.

Well there should be enough there to confuse you anyway :) Let us know if you get stuck and will get it sorted from there.

@AcesWild5049 Usually this is nothing on your side. Might be a temporary server issue. I have successfully tested posting some seconds ago, so please test again.
Be sure to have set up a correct topic-id.

There is nothing bizarre on this part of the posting linked above:

@Veqryn:

Alternative instructions for unblocking TripleA:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290

1. Open up “Gatekeeper”
Gatekeeper options are found in Apple menu > System Preferences… > Security & Privacy > General tab under the header “Allow applications downloaded from:”

2. Change “Allow Applications Downloaded From:” to “Anywhere”

3. You should now be able to open and use TripleA (and any other software).

Did you try that?

Also be sure to have the latest version of the Java Runtime Environment installed.
I don’t know which version comes preinstalled with your OS.

fyi, a new triplea is out
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=33119.0
1.8.0.1

Right, this is supposed to be the only map-change from 1st editon to 2nd edition.
TripleA 1940 Alpha 3 for example reflects the map of the first edition,
TripleA 1940 Second Edition has the change, but only technically; that means that you cannot enter Yukon in (TA) G40 second edition.

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.

Sign up and check it out!

Nevermind, I figured it out.
