@djensen
Oh, what a great surprise, thank you a lot! I truly appreciate your recognition of my work. It motivates me greatly to continue regularly taking care of the forum in the future.

@djensen Thank you for all what you are doing for us. :+1:

Myself, I have spent an unusual amount of time on the forum and in front of my PCs before, during and after the migration, in order to identify problems, deal with feedback, provide information, give support, suggesting my ideas as regards content and organization, sorting threads, cleaning-up topics… just to name some activities. (Thank you to my family for their understanding :hearts: )

Now, I don’t even do this as a business, I do it just for fun. As Dave with this site gives me the chance to ideally combine my hobbies: I love strategic boardgames, I am an IT-interested autodidact, I love to moderate discussions and deal with change management. Doing all of this and the feedback I sometimes get from the community is “salary” enough.

Instead, I will be happy to donate another 50 USD for my next 2019 Gold patronage in some weeks.

I don’t expect that everyone takes the same fun out of this site as I do. And I am aware that only a fraction of users even reads the topics in this category including this thread. But in case you read it, and in case you take some fun out of this website and have not donated so far - please consider doing it now!

UHD World War II Global map in Triple A
Look under the experimental tab.
I think you need 2.5.22294 to see it, can’t use a .6

To run it under TripleA 2.6.x do as follows:

Go to
https://github.com/triplea-maps/uhd_world_war_ii_global

Klick on the green “code” button:

Now - in the window that just opened - click “Download ZIP” to download the zip-container of that map.

Move the downloaded zip-file to the “downloadedMaps” directory of your TripleA installation.

After that start TripleA. The zip-file will be extracted and the map will be available from the “Select Game” dialogue.

Enjoy!

Currently this community when using TripleA suffers from some serious problems described and discussed here and - more important - on the triplea-game .org forum.

Everybody feel free to add your concerns to the above mentioned topics. You don’t reach the developer(s) here but over there.

Concerning the Play-By-Forum issue:

For quite some time now the issue is that TripleA has been incompatible with the current forum software (NodeBB). The issue will not be resolved until the forum software and the TripleA software will be ‘harmonized’. Unfortunately I do not know whenever this will happen.

As a workaround you will need to manually send the game history and load up manually created savegames to the forum. You can use ‘Play by Email’ instead of ‘Play by Forum’ to start the game and use the dice server. You don’t need to configure the email settings in the ‘Play by EMail’ form.

Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and a big Thank You to all of you, who make this forum a great place to be!

@djensen I have just bought “Gold” as usual. Happy New Year!

Paypal went just flawlessly. I just wondered about the “MARK PAYPAL PPPL” indication during the transaction.
But Paypal’s overview shows “Livid Labs” as usual.

What does the New version brings?

I hope they publish a “What’s New?” or add the Release Notes anytime soon.

However, there have been hundreds if not thousands of updates in four years since 2.5. TripleA software development is a continuous process.
If you are deeper interested you might want to check out the notes of all the pull requests that resulted in (pre-) releases on Github in the meantime until they publish something more:

The ‘Classic Tournament’ plays A&A Classic, what refers to the 1984 MB edition of the boardgame.

@ussgordoncaptain

By the rulebook (Europe 1940 2ed, page 10):
“Friendly neutrals … … They can be moved into (but
not through) as a noncombat move by land units of a
power that is at war (see “Noncombat Move,” page 22).
This moves the territory out of its neutral status at the
end of the Noncombat Move phase”.

So the answer is “No”.

You’d need to move the mech infantry and the regular infantry at the same time.
The mech infantry can’t “move through”.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Would you please answer that?

@Running-Away said in 1942 Board Game Error?:

Hello, I purchased the game in 2024. I say that in case this has been caught and fixed for later issues.

UK starts with 30 IPC’s. But if you add up all their territories, I am pretty sure they have 31.

Just want to check if anyone else has noticed this or am I losing it ???

Cheers

Download the latest version of the rulebook from Renegade:

to find this error being corrected on page 7.

@CentralCommando This is the perfect category.

@stancollins Welcome to the forum. I have moved your topic to the 1942 Online forum-category.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Can you please answer that?

@crockett36 said in Question: How do I start a forum discussion?:

@crockett36 btw, you did start a forum discussion. That being this. Do you mean about a particular topic? Or franchise? Or game?

Actually this (very first) posting was part of another thread. I forked it and moved it here as a new topic.

@Lawrence-of-Arabia

Welcome to the forum.
Move to the appropriate forum category (here it is the subcategory “Player Help”) that matches the topic of your discussion and klick “New Topic” (the Blue button in the screenshot). The rest should be self-explanatory. Good luck!

@jamadar07 Welcome to the forum. While I know what you are talking about, those usually had rarely if ever been used by this community.

Currently people use TripleA to play online (by forum) (see https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/28/triplea-support).

Before that (about 15 years ago) we used ABattlemap to play online (by forum) (see https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/29899/a-tribute-to-abattlemap).

@djensen Interesting idea, however I have already installed it as PWA, what benefit would a separate app add?

@aequitas-et-veritas
Hey aev, indeed, long time no see.

Your error message indicates a conflict concerning the username/password combination.
This is what you should try:

• Log out from the forum
• Clear your browser cache
• Log in back to the forum.

In case you logged in successfully, your Username/Password-combination would be correct.

Log out from the forum again. Clear the cache and now enter exactly the same credentials into the TripleA PBF-mask. Try to post and it should work.

If your above re-login to the forum failed, you would have entered an incorrect (maybe old and outdated) password. In that case you should either remember the current one or ask for a new one.

Let me know what happens. Good luck!
