How to set up TripleA to work with the forum

@Ichabod So I can identify two different issues. First of all, your PBF username is not your email-address that you have entered but simply “Ichabod”. Enter Ichabod as Login and the forum password into the settings.

Second your TripleA still uses an outdated Java to be found in
c\program files\i4j_jres\1.8.0_66

That is an incompatible Java version that TripleA came with years ago that is still used despite you might have installed the latest Java, too.
So you need to manually delete this i4j_jres folder including its subfolders.

So once you have deleted this, you should try again, using the forum username and forum password.
In case it still does not work, please reinstall the latest Java 8 to be sure TripleA uses this new version.

After all these actions you should be fine using the dice server and posting your turns with TripleA 1.9.0.0.13066 on the new forum.

Good luck :slightly_smiling_face:

… and ask back in case you need further assistance.

I rolled 9/10 AA gun defence hits against a 2004(?) Europe Sealion by hand once.  And I’ve seen plently more on this scale just as crazy  (22 planes at 3 hit nothing)

Have I played hundreds of games of Axis and Allies?  Yes.  But not thousands.  These things do happen.

That said - I do want to know more about MARTI and it’s code…

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

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

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.

thx thats good. hopefully well get more views ;) you do a great job here and thx again

Read the part of Veqyrn’s link on hosting games.  You need to enable port forwarding.

The latest and greatest TripleA release (0.9.3) is now available on SourceForge.net. 
Download it here:  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=44492&package_id=119711
This is considered an unstable release, but it is also a release candidate as we have already found/fixed many bugs in the last unstable release.
So… we need AxisAndAllies.org PBF beta testers!
This release contains many fixes and enhancements, including all the PBEM/PBF enhancements that I made available on A&A.org last year such as Turn Summary Posting, and Edit Mode.  Since these are now in the main TripleA stream, they will be maintained from here-on-in provided proper bug reports are filed.
If you find a bug, or something you think might be a bug, please post a bug report here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=44492&atid=439737
Enjoy!
