when you go to triplea download page do not hit large red box. that would give a 2.5 version. below the box are three links. chose the one with prerelease in it. follow and download the latest 2.7 version. 2.7 will open 2.5 or 2.6 or 2.7 versions. there are 4-5 numbers after any version that are not as important. you can install 2.7 over the 2.5 or have both versions on your computer. to have both select install different directory. you may want to name shortcut 2.7 if doing both. a little fuzzy on shortcut naming.one reason for keeping more than one are to play other people who have 2.5 version. also the PLAY ONLINE area with the lobby and where you play live is 2.5. if you have 2.7 only you will get a download list when you hit the game link in the forum thread. you can then hit OPEN FILE in list and it will launch triplea and game file. if you have more than one version and want to play 2.5 then after the download list shows up ignore it and open your apps list and select the version you want. when on start page you can select LOCAL version for now and later on can move on to sending dice rolls to opponent. hope this helps. was doing from memory so may be a little off

Playing a game using @FranceNeedsMorePower 's Global 1940 balance rules. Per the rules, one dice is rolled to see whether French Indochina turns Vichy or not. A roll of 1-4 keeps it Free, but a roll of 5-6 turns it Pro-Axis.

For a 1914 game I’m playing.
Austria-Hungary captured Marsellies. I forgot to change the mines in sea zone 16.
