Is TripleA-verision 9.3.0 ready for online play yet?

@Panther

Thank you Panther! That worked. :)

There we have the culprit:

java.runtime.version=10.0.1+10

TripleA needs Java 8, as there are compatibility issues with Java 9 and Java 10.

Haven’t you installed Java 8 Update 171?

Now you have got options as follows:

You can remove Java 10 and install Java 8 instead.
or You can install Java 8 next to Java 10 - in this case you need to install the latest prerelease of TripleA, to be found here:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases
This prerelease should automatically choose Java 8.

Please report back.  :-)

Have a writing talent that you would like to put to work? Or would like to contribute to TripleA but don’t know how?

We are drafting an idea for a TripleA blog. As the website admin, I am responsible for lining up some authors. I know that A&A.org has a great blog, and we thought that launching a blog devoted to TripleA would nicely cap the successful development of the new TripleA website, which will be official as of version 1.8.0.10. Potential topics for post may include:

Strategy for any of the TripleA maps, including WWII

Map design tips and tricks

Challenges and Tournaments

Showcasing a “Game of the Month”

Announcements

Most other TripleA related content (I am the editor, so I will moderate.)

Please post below if you would like to commit to writing a few articles a month, or even commit to contribution, in any form. We are looking for contributors, and are looking for anyone who would like to volunteer. If we get enough volunteers, the plan will go though. Please feel free to ask any questions below.

I installed the game on laptop with win10, the games starts incredible fast and the flags are moving so fast in the wind I can almost not see the animation… but after 10-15 minutes, the game slows down more and more so I cannot barely not scroll the map or see the animations of exloding units… what can be wrong?

is starts perfectly fine and then slows down so I have to restart every 15 minutes.
and I�m not sure of you guys, but for me it takes more than 15 min to beat the axis so I have to restart quite many times… Smiley

has this occured to anyone else and what can I do to solve this?
many thanks in advance

hope you played Lotto too :)
Triplea rocks Glad you found it

manual dice = use edit mode while rolling them.  for some things, like combat, i think it lets you pick the dice or pick whatever casualties you want.  for other dice rolls, it won’t do anything.

ai speed = change the ‘ai pause duration’ to be really high.  if you are using dynamix ai, you can pause the ai at any point in the special dynamix ai menu.

@Veqryn:

LHTR = larry harris tournament rules

Yes, I know.
@Veqryn:

besides modifying the java bin, you will have to play by the rulebook + FAQ that is printed on the A&A website, or the LHTR rules

Ah, I now see what causes my confusion:
On the A&A/Wizards-Site there is an old FAQ (March, 20 2009)
http://www.wizards.com/AvalonHill/rules/AxAl-AnEd_Errata.pdf
that does not contain any Heavy Bombers changes.
So Heavy Bombers’ rules are OOB rules.

My games usually are under OOB-rules with latest FAQ (February, 5 2010),
as to be found on Harris Game Design
http://harrisgamedesign.com/pdf/A&A_Anniversary_FAQ.pdf
Here Heavy Bombers are changed to “roll both and choose best”
(but without +1 on SBR).

So the TripleA map does not reflect the latest rules but a status prior to these.
Got it now. Thank you! :)

I am looking for LSSAH
he is the guy who created a ton of the unit art for TripleA, as well as creating some very very beautiful maps (Empires, and Space / Galaxy Map).

I managed to find Empires in full form, and I found the relief image for the galaxy map, but have not found any other files for the galaxy map.

If anyone either has lssah’s contact info, or knows where i can find him or get to him, could you post it or pm me with it?

If anyone has the Galaxy Map (for the old triplea), anything for it, i would love to have it.

thank you,
Veqry
