@surfer Very good information, thank you.

As long as we cannot reproduce the issue, we have no chance to dig deeper in. But as it “healed itself” there is nothing to worry about for now.

@Panther 2.5.22294

But now I see that there are dozens of 2.7 releases on Github.

@private-panic Well I will vouch that Private-Panic Does Exist :)

@Slip-Capone No, it is outdated, He should update TripleA to get to the current dice server registration or move directly to

https://dice.marti.triplea-game.org/

@aagamerz13

This outdated Java version should be removable by Windows Control Panel.

First uninstall TripleA.
Then the best idea is to remove all Java versions you find in the Programs section of the Control Panel. Just to clean it up.
Then please re-install the latest Java 8 version from https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp .

After that re-install TripleA.

You should be fine then.

@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.

@Gargantua:

TripleA is cheat-proof

That’s not entirely accurate.  There is a scenario I can think of in which some shady circumstances can occur - in a particular scenario.

It’s safer to say - Axis and Allies is cheat proof, as long as your dice are done through a server - and you pay attention to the actual game mechanics.

Well I’m mostly comparing it to Battlemap, where it would be easy to add units here or there.  If extra units are discovered, there’s no way to tell if it’s cheating or an unintended mistake.

In my experience, it’s the unintentional mistakes that most often mar Battlemap games.  Consequently, many players spend alot of time checking maps and moves for accuracy.

With TripleA the above scenarios don’t happen, because you’d have to use edit to add in units that shouldn’t be there.  And any edit is clearly visible in the game history.

If they came up with a Global 1940 for the computer my wife would probably end up divorcing me or destroying the computer

Lol mine too
