First Encounter with TripleA, a noob's first games.

@contango

Thank you!

@barnee Thanks. Turns out one team player was using an ancient version of Triplea engine. We’ll just have to manually adjust for the few land battles that use gas. Most players will build DD’s making first strike less relevant.

Moved to TripleA Support forum.

This TripleA scenario is unrelated to the 1914 A&A game.
I recommend to post your questions here:
https://forums.triplea-game.org/

Chances are that the map creator or someone familiar with this scenario might answer.

@redrum Thanks! I had missed the update. I was changing the file name, but didn’t have the latest rev.

Thanks as always Panther. Will look into that.

@mvk20:

Thanks - so does it play for the Minor, Major, or Total Victory?

In the “Map Options” you see the default setting for the victory conditions (see screenshot) for this map.
“Projection of Power” is marked.

By the coding of this map, this translates to:

    <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>

So TripleA will prompt you once one Alliance gets 9 victory cities.

Note that you can continue the game as long as you want, regardless of the information given by the engine.

HTH :-)

Just to sum up what happened at the end of this thread:

TripleA is very much alive. It got purged of any name references to the boardgame, but the maps resembling the official boardgame in setup support the complete rulesets of all the versions out there.
More important, in my eyes, it features some user made maps with different themes. Some of them are aimed at the advanced player (like New World Order - NWO1.7EB, for example), with the positive side-effect of having a mannered and above-average skilled community around them. The large maps tend to value strategic thinking above tactical assessment.

(Forgive me promoting this here, but I learned that even good products can fail without advertisement…) ;)

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!
