Tagging you this time,
@GeneralDisarray I am going to record your win now, assuming you accept it. It seems @Arthur-Bomber-Harris chose to resign at the same time he does not want to continue playing in this playoff.
Will you accept the resignation, advance, and play me in the next round? Or do I take a bye.
The dream is that it wouldn’t even be a purchase or placement check, but that there would be a tracker of how many different pieces are on the board, at all times. Even better would be to show the maximum, so a stats bar that says
7/10 tanks, or 3/3 bombers are currently on the board would be the optimum.
The cherry on top would be that the engine would even prevent the movement that violates the rule, but just having the feature in there at all like we do now, even with a couple errors, is very nice. Way better than nothing.
Anyway, thanks!!!
Super, guys, mikawa for the patience and understanding, and booper for clearly explaining how we’re splitting up USA and doing it with edits this turn in TripleA
Great that you knew the rule mika, and I won’t get upset if you do it out of order when it totally doesn’t matter, I mainly wanted to make sure you knew about it before it could potentially be an issue.
As to what made the rule, Krieghund’s your guy. It would be a fascinating answer. He just answered one today, so he’s around
“Condition no factories”
I didn’t go through and set the game options when we started. My bad.
Fortunately, it looks like the only one that’s wrong is no new complexes.
A quick test reveals that we will just have to use edit mode to add any factory.
It’s a real bummer that the infantry count was set at 17 and the factories at 3 instead of 4.
We/I can simply track the number of remaining factories in the game notes (or I’m sure you’ll track it one way or another), and if Japan goes all crazy we can watch out for the 15. I guess I’ll leave the critters alive on their islands. You’re already at 12!! I recommend you not buy a 3rd battleship, that could be a logistics nightmare 🤭
Thanks for cheerfully going along with the upgraded map. I hope at some point you think it’s a good deal
There are 2 different Classic maps, and you have to have the right one. Let me know if you’re interested, I succeeded today in helping someone load the other one by sharing files with them via e-mail and it worked.
Took a look at Japan, finally, but running out of time tonight and not ready to actually play it quite yet. Decided on quite a few things, still some calcs to do, but wanted to let you know I worked on it awhile.
Prioritizing the classic tournament game and the team game we’re in, and wishing something would wrap up
Tight play, @mikawagunichi , as expected. Very crisp.
Friendly point to @mikawagunichi ,
G40 rules actually require that all amphibious assaults must be rolled before all others, so Borneo should have been rolled before Z22
Not a factor in this situation, but if you didn’t know the rule, I should point it out the same way @JDOW did to me so many years ago
Hey guys, thanks for patience, I have time to look at USA/UK Europe now and will try to work together so we’ll see if team Allies can get it done soon

Just noticed a 2nd folder that should go in the downloadmaps folder with the other one. Used a dropbox e-mail again. If you’re a little tech savvy and you carefully read what I wrote here, I’m quite sure you’ll be successful
I was having issues with the Japanese infantry limit in an earlier game in this tournament, so this feature could potentially alert when both players might miss it.
I wish it would just flat out have a count for all plastic pieces in the game, and remaining count, but this is what they (VictoryFirst??) whipped up when I said I wish TripleA would track this.
I actually found it. Searching TripleA forums for Classic, I found @VictoryFirst was talking about the improved “Classic League” map that counts stacks.
His last post here on A&A.org was one month ago, on you and Ragnell’s North Africa game, so we may not get his help quickly.
I found the map files and attempted to e-mail it via dropbox to your yahoo email address you’re using for MARTI dice.
If you’re interested, place it to
c:\Users<yourname>\TripleA\downloadedMaps
I think just placing this folder in that downloaded maps folder will make it available in TripleA. Or @barnee can laugh if I’m wrong
What I’m hoping for is that you will successfully get this map in your TripleA directory and will be able to use it, and I hope that you will like it because it tracks the stacks for you, even if it’s retroactively. Otherwise, I will just start the game over in the map we all have.
I think you’re right! It’s not because I upgraded to 2.7 from 2.6, but because I used “Classic League” map instead of WWII Classic. Classic League is an improvement that adds an internal check on max stack limits, although not the way I would want because it waits until the end of the turn if I recall correctly.
I’m guessing you’d really like that feature (as opposed to no computer help on the count at all), but it would require finding the Classic League map and I don’t remember who told me about it, even though it was not too long ago.
Do you want to use this map with the automatic internal check on unit counts and wait a bit until we can locate a url, or do you want me to redo R1 on the WWII Classic map?
@barnee is up on these things and he recommended 2.7.14962 so I recently updated to that…
I don’t know yet how it is superior, but I admit I don’t like the change to the battlecalc interface.
R1 can easily be re-run if all else fails.
@barnee always knows what to say and how to explain these current events for Triple A and maps. I’d love to know what’s improved or should I go back to the tried and true. Let’s wait a bit
@The_Good_Captain OK, we’re rolling! Zero shots fired, tons of men built, time for Germany to explode

Here’s to a great game for both
Got it, I didn’t see that I also had a FAQ, was thinking I only had the CLASSIFIED clarification
Now I see my specific question is answered, the carriers could not even split up during a combat move that ends in the same place
