@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.
Find the rules here:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/32564/classic-edition-s-rulebooks-and-official-clarifications

The category to discuss rules of this specific game is this one:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/6/axis-allies-classic

@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”.

Axis & Allies: Commanders

@captainwalker

The installation procedure has not changed. Assuming that you are on Windows and that the file you downloaded is

TripleA_2026-06.16.15640_windows-64bit.exe

you need to doubleklick the file and follow Window’s installation procedure.

If my assumption is wrong, please indicate what you exactly downloaded and your OS.
Let me know if you run into further issues.

Good luck.

Urgent: TripleA Software Update Immediately required!

please see

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/42536/urgent-triplea-software-update-immediately-required

Please update Your TripleA client ASAP

The old lobby and Marti servers will be shut down imminently. unfortunately we have no precise time table. the time range i have been given is “tomorrow, or it’ll be a month from now. I’m guessing will be tomorrow at this rate.”

The download link can be found here:

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

Any questions or concerns about what’s happening can be directed here:

https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4351/triplea-2026.06.16-release-schedule-plan

or here:

https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4353/urgent-communication-needed

you must also re-reregister for the new marti server here:

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

This as a major, required, and backward compatible release. It’s required so we can discontinue old resources that are costing the project a significant fraction of our total expenses.

Downgrading the lobby will save $10/month and removing old MARTI will be $25/month (in exchange for new MARTI that costs $5/month).

There’s no reason I can think of to not upgrade. Maybe worth mentioning that save games are expected to work well (but maps are looking to be a problem area and may need re-install).

(Text by @ubernaut - thank you!)

Addition:

Please note that the new dice server only allows two email addresses, also email addresses can no longer be space delimited. So in multiplayer games you need to decide who receives the mails per side.

@Karl7 I assume you are referring to “Axis & Allies Commanders”?

I have added your posting to the existing topic.

As this topic is neither about the Website not the Forum itself but about Online-Play, specifically Play-By-Forum with TripleA, I moved it to the very first layer of the “Play Online Axis&Allies” - forum and edited the title a bit.

@AndrewAAGamer @gamerman01
I recommend that you post a link to this topic in the “League”-category, to enhance the discussion if you want.

Today’s addition, now included in the first posting:

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/14508

This has always been possible - you can trick the engine into using a CV twice.

Has the bug been expanded?

I don’t know. Please point me to your related bug-report/Github issue, than I can take a look and maybe adjust the above list.

@barnee No, what I meant is illustrated in the following screenshot (marked yellow):

@barnee Thank you for the idea. I have added the date immediately to the headline of the issue.

Because of irritations about the current “stable” version, here is an update.

What currently is called “stable” is still the outdated version 2.5.22294 from early November 2020, mentioned in my above last posting. However there have been hundreds of (pre-) releases until today’s version (as of writing this:) 2.7.15614.

Be aware that calling “stable” does not mean, that newer versions are “unstable”. On the contrary, those contain a lot of bugfixes and improvements.

I have always recommended to go with a current (pre)-release as long as you don’t need lobby play.

As posted frequently above and elsewhere this is the link …
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases
… where you can download the latest and hundreds of older versions.

Note: At any time during 2.6 development savegame compatibility broke (between older versions and versions starting from this specific one). Players should use the same (pre-)release version, currently 2.7.xxxxx. Also they should compare their game versions and agree on a specific version before starting a game. However, there is absolutely no reason to go with any outdated 2.6 version.

So either you go with "stable " 2.5.22294 accepting the almost six years old issues - or you agree to go with a current prerelease.

What currently is called “stable” is still the outdated version 2.5.22294 from early November 2020. However there have been hundreds of (pre-) releases until today’s version 2.7.15614. There was an attempt by the developers to call a specific version (2.6.whatever) “stable”, but that had been withdrawn (as mentioned by you above).

Be aware that calling “stable” does not mean, that newer versions are “unstable”. On the contrary, those contain a lot of bugfixes and improvements.

I have always recommended to go with a current (pre)-release as long as you don’t need lobby play.

In the TripleA support category I usually publish this link:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases
where you can download the latest and hundreds of older versions.

Note: At any time during 2.6 development savegame compatibility broke (between older versions and versions starting from this specific one).

I hope that helps.
