PBEM TripleA question

@CrazyIvan Also for playing online you might want to check out our TripleA forum, especially the stickies there: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/28/triplea-support

@Odonis No problem.  I opened https://github.com/triplea-game/dice-server/issues/33 to update the misleading error message.  Hopefully that will get fixed soon.

P.S. Here’s what the map looks like with Vichy France activated (using color code 6A5B3D for “Neutral_Axis” in map.properties). :D

Beautiful! ::tear::

@all - We are looking to release 1.8.0.9 shortly due to the naval retreat bug that was found and fixed. I’ve uploaded the pre-release equivalent of that and would appreciate some assistance testing various maps, game types, etc to make sure there aren’t any issues. Pre-release install instructions here: http://tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com/AI-Development-Discussion-tp7585227.html

Here is the change log:

Bug fix, retreat from naval combat was not possible, now fixed Increase scroll speed when using arrow keys. Holding down control speeds up arrow key scroll Map edge scroll zone now larger, placing map next to the very edge of the map increases scroll speed even more AI: Fixed calculating defenses on maps with air/naval bases to properly calculate enemy range AI: Fixed bug around not defending against enemy units that were transported the previous turn (they were being marked as already transported when potential enemy attacks were calculated)

Here is a link to the download, complete with orange Japan, green China, grey ANZAC, and now black Germany!

I’ll make a post about it on the tripleA forums as well.

EDIT: To install, simply put the ZIP file in your triplea/maps folder and it should work.

Manchuria is Chinese, so it doesn’t count for the bonus.

On 41 NOs, this thread is a good one to bookmark.

@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.

Hi there Rem,

Personally I’m too lazy to do all the typing required for forum PBEM, plus I can’t the get software to work right, so I prefer TripleA PBEM.  TripleA is also the best for minimizing human error (ie map mistakes).

On the other hand, ABattlemap will probably be the first to have a AA40P module.  You will just need to download the Battlemap utility and the relevant maps.

AB download…
