@Karl7 thanks for the gracious loan for my war efforts! Will not go to waste!

Who here would not mind updating to the latest TripleA Beta Version, or has done so already and runs both?

Afaik Witt has the issue of not being able to run two Versions on his Mac (for some unknown reason)

If we all are fine with changing versions, I would try to align between different games Witt is participating and plan how to achieve that.

@FMErwinRommel hearing about grass root communist movement in the Japanese capital, the US fleet moved in, to kill such political movement in it‘s infancy… and to put the surging Japanese industry to work for the war effort.

And learning from Japanese engineers helped to increase productivity by introducing modern Kanban scheduling systems in factories worldwide! 😀

@Entek such a bold attack! I would not have minded a second round and see Peking secured…

@Black_Elk thanks. I will look into it

@VictoryFirst oh yes. Very up to date!

You see, some people here are demographically considered „elderly“ that run version 2.5 and feel threatened by a switch to an alpha version 😀

@VictoryFirst their cav is special and defends at 2… so defense is a good option 😀

@VictoryFirst that is true, but you will see that this mod we play prefers the defending role to a crazy degree.

• there is no real Air Force to help in sorties at the border
• trenches are cheap and swiftly build
• there is the hv art which defends at 4 or even 5
• there is no unit like the trusty tank with attack 3 and move 2

@VictoryFirst That happens in a war… ;-)

Hear ye hear ye hear ye!!

TripleA finally released a new stable version 2.6

https://triplea-game.org/download/

Please upgrade all and use this version. We can load our current game in it, but someone with an older version (2.5) will not be able to load it then. So please let us ALL update to 2.6

Thanks! Auto posting in forum should be fixed then as well and I hope manually adding victory bonds will be behind us as well.

@Witt Response from Axis to our comments and on prospect of this game:

@VictoryFirst Sooo what have we learned here? Arabia is not an “attack” faction. :-P

Haven’t seen Mecco gone so fast in a while! ;-D

@VictoryFirst @captainwalker @redrum Are you guys receiving MARTI emails? I used to get them alll… few years back, but then took a longer break… and now MARTI still knows me, but I receive no Emails…

I mean every now and then (I guess every few 100 tries, some random MARTI email appears in my inbox, but that seems to be an error on the Blacklist that MARTI seems to be on.

Hypothesis: gmail marks these emails as spam and filters them out before they reach my inbox.

Question:

1. Who receives all the MARTI Emails still
2. Do yo you gmail or another email provider?

Can you guys help me try to figure it out, please?

@Private-Panic

Witt trying to convince you he means no harm.

@Witt

I fart in your general direction!!

Will be on vacation until end of June… so either someone takes over France or you just wait it out. Is fine either way.

@VictoryFirst then look up gubbins 😅

@Private-Panic said in NML 1914 team game 14:

We have shared our language with the rest of the world and all you do is bowdlerise it!

How about that! You are right! That is what I found:

„Do you get some funny looks when you use the word gubbins? Well, it means bits and pieces, or paraphernalia. It comes from an old French word for a bite of food or a piece of something. When the word crossed over to use in English language it was translated as ‘gob’ associated with the mouth.“

@VictoryFirst I am not. But you guys enjoy it, please!

@VictoryFirst or your propaganda causes three scientists to enlist per turn… thus all these funds for inventions gather dust in the bank! 😅
