@leemorrison
Did you remember to set the forum to “Axisand allies.org” ?
If you’re using the PBF function it should automatically post the results and the save file.
Otherwise, maybe ping VF and ask him what you guys have done and what we’re doing wrong?

@Emanon
Pretty standard J1 opening moves, but went extremely well.
Only lost a single inf in Yunnan and a fighter in Pearl Harbour (!).

41553 after Japan1.tsvg

Time for the Beefed up Russians!

@leemorrison
Okay, so you set up a local game and send the save after your round. That’s perfectly fine, I trust you.

For next time I’d you want to play “proper PBF”:
Tried setting up a PBF game and it gave me an error because your email wasn’t set up.

I think it’s because your Gmail even refuses to show the message in the spam folder.
The solve would be to create a new account using proton mail, just for another time if a player insists you use the forum dice and file monitoring (to prevent edits and savescum).

It’s just a game, I don’t care enough to either cheat or think that anyone else would do so :)

I’ll make my J1 moves and get back to you.

@leemorrison
Setup should look something like this:

Make sure to insert the appropriate bid for where you want the units placed. Or we can edit it in later if you’re not using them on R1…

The PBF screen from my end looks like this:

Make sure to set the server to “axisandallies.org/forum” and use the number for our game “41553”.

Hope this helps

Hi Lee
I’d recommend uninstalling and installing a newer version of Triple A. I had a problem with the former version, maybe you’re experiencing the same?
Newest version:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.14900

Your downloaded maps should still be present when you install the new version:

Download the one called
“https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/download/2.7.14900/TripleA_2.7+14900_windows-64bit.exe”
(YOU CAN USE THE ABOVE LINK)

Otherwise, I really don’t know why it isn’t working. I’m no expert in Triple A either, sadly :/

@leemorrison How so?

@leemorrison
Allies bid of 11 seems fair.
I’ve tested the play-by-forum function and it seems to be working fine. Although I had to uninstall and install a newer version of Triple A.
I’ve also read that the dice server may be blocking the mails entirely if you’re using Gmail - as you are. Let’s see if it works out, but you should definitely look in the spamfolder as well.

@leemorrison
It’s a bit uncharted territory for me as I’m somewhat new to AA50 (5 games in total) and haven’t played with tech before, but no time like the present to try it out, I guess ;)

Regarding bid:
I have no clue what’s considered “fair” when tech is also in the game, but about 12-15 for allies seems reasonable with NO’s in play.
Am I to understand it as “You want to play Allies with +16 IPCs worth”, because in that case, I wouldn’t mind playing Allies +15.

(Sorry if I don’t quite get the bidding system, our playgroup is a bit weird, we agree on a fair bid beforehand and then negotiate who wants to play who…)

Practical:
One more thing: I’ve registered your E-mail to the dice server. You’ll need to validate your email for that to progress.
After that, I’ll make a post pinging you and we’ll use that for the game going forward.
I’ll call it “AA50 Emanon Vs Lee Morrison”

@leemorrison

I’ll need your email account for setting up the dice server.
It shows the rolls and can be set up to send a recap of the round. I’m pretty loose with redoing mistakes as Triple A isn’t the best system for playing. It can be done through “editing the files”
Example: Sometimes it won’t let you pick the specific plane casualty with regards to landing on a carrier (can become relevant for a typical 42 J1 opening).
In that case, send a mail/post and explain the problem, so the other player is aware that the game somehow screwed you…

With regards to the game:
National Objectives?
Tech?
Dardanelles open/closed?
Escorts for Strategic Bombing Raids?

Comment:
IMO, the NO’s are overpowered, so yes a massive bid for Allies is appropriate no matter who plays them.
Tech can really swing the game and make it completely unbalanced, but can be crazy fun as well…
Escorts can help mitigate “Green Skies” SBR strategy from the US.
Dardanelles were historically closed, gives the Axis a few more options but I don’t mind either way.

If you’re familiar with Tabletop Simulator on Steam, there’s a really good AA50 mod there that allows us to play “live” and/or take turns over the internet.

Let me know what you think.

Hi there
I’m in :) I’m in Europe, just in case you were wondering about timezone.
Cheers!
