@barnee Ah, that’s why I forgot about it. Thanks for the update :)

@barnee Is that still an issue? Didn’t notice that here…

@Tony

Also, each time I start up Triple A on my desk top it does an installation of the newest updated version so it’s not because of old. Outdated engine.

So you seem to run the installer again and again every time you start it. And you always install the outdated version 2.5.22294 . If there were an update every time you run it, you would have installed the current version 2.7.15374 recently. What is not the case, as you stated yourself above.

I’m not that tech savvy to know much about the mechanics involved.

You see, I have been involved in TripleA (incl. mechanics) and giving support for more than 15 years,
I do that voluntarily and in my spare time.

Unfortunatey you still refuse to cooperate and do what I repeatedly asked you to do. Instead you insist to “know it better”. In case you continue to unsubstantially contradict my words and attempts to help you, I am done, you need to help yourself, then.

Otherwise do this, as a last attempt to enable you to play that map from my side:

0. Remove all the old and outdated stuff from your PC (maybe ask someone more familiar with the necessary computer routines to help you to correctly and completely clean it up):
1. Correctly uninstall your current TripleA installation.
2. Delete every map-file you have downloaded so far.
3. Go to https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases
4. Find the most recent TripleA-version (as of writing this: 2026-January-21 - 2.7.15375, maybe there will be a newer one when you read this)
5. Click on “Assets”
6. Download the installer of the latest engine. For Windows it is TripleA_2.7+15375_windows-64bit.exe
7. Install this TripleA-version.
8. Run this TripleA-version
9. From “Download Maps” find “World War I 1914” in the “New Maps” tab. Klick Install.
10. From “Select Game” find “World War I 1914”, klick OK and then “Start Local Game”
11. Enjoy playing.
12. Download other maps you want to play accordingly.

Good luck!

@Tony That shows the location on your harddrive. Now please doubleclick on that zip file and post screenshots of the complete folder structure as I already asked you above. Why do you deny or at least hesitate to do that?

I am sure you won’t encounter any problems if you updated to a fresh install of as well TripleA (a current version, not the old one) as the map file.

Have you reported that to TripleA? What was the feedback?

That’s the link with a problem for 1914 too. Silver Bullet

Don’t waste our time with topics that are older than three years. There have been hundreds of updates and a lot of further development since then.

Late here - so my next answer won’t arrive until tomorrow. Good luck.

@Tony Sorry, my time is limited, so I want to ask you kindly to answer my questions as precisely as possible.

I gave you detailled hints concerning the information that I need. You answered only vaguely a fraction of what I asked for, unfortunately.

For example I need the version number of TripleA to be found in the initital screen when starting TripleA:

Please point me directly to the posting(s) that you are talking about. I doubt that it will help though, as I have already explained the reason for the error to you. And that is why I asked you to provide screenshots of the folder structure of your map installation.

I am downloading this game from the Triple A desk top icon as well from this website.

The software and the maps can (or at least should) only be downloaded from the ‘official’ TripleA repositories. This website (a&a .org) does not provide any ‘official’ TripleA-related files. Sometimes other users upload something here, but this can’t be given support for, as TripleA development is a constant process with hundreds of updates per year.

I think each time I click on the Triple A icon from my desk top it gives me the newest version of Triple A.

No, it starts the software only. There is no automatical update. If you run an outdated version you will run it always - until you will update manually to a newer version.

This Map is found in the lowest quality Maps section or experimental section.

This statement clearly indicates that you have installed an outdated TripleA version as well as an outdated map file.

As the respective map works perfectly for me I can only work with the details you give me.
Also the hints and help I can give you depend on your detailled input.

@Tony
It works fine here, so I cannot reproduce the issue.

The error message indicates that a specific file from the map installation is not at the place where TripleA expects it to be.

How did you download/install the map?
Please search for the downloadedMaps folder, on Windows it is to be found here:
C:\Users\YourUserName\triplea\downloadedMaps.
Post a screenshot of the folders within the downloadedMaps folder.
Then doubleclick the folder world_war_i_1914, enhance the window if necessary and post a screenshot of the complete content.

And - again - which exact version of TripleA do you use?

@Tony

I cannot find any related issue at the TripleA repository. So please repeat the procedure until you encouter the error. Please copy-paste the error message. After that klick “Report to TripleA” and copy paste the feedback. You can take screenshots and post them as well.

Also: Which exact TripleA-version are you using?

@Tony Welcome to the forum.
As you question is not about the boardgame itself but asking for TripleA support, I have moved your topic to the TripleA Support category.

Usually the error message gives hints about the error. So please share it with us.

Also in most cases there is a button “Report to TripleA” shown with the error message.
What happened after you clicked that button?

@shadowhooch
Search for “world_war_ii_v5_1942”.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Please take a look, thank you!

@Brian8 said in US Wartime Economy Second Edition Renegade Games:

Scenario: J1 attack on US and Japan doesn’t take the Philippines or any other US territories. How much IPCs can US spend on US1?

47, as the income resulting of NOs is not granted before the Collect Income Phase.

This address, that you chose, is better:

So topic closed here.

@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 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.

@commobill Welcome to the forum.

I moved your topic to the Anniversary Edition forum category which should be the place where you will find what you are looking for. (See the stickied topics.)

@Mn-guy As your question is neither about the website nor the forum itself I have moved your topic to the A&A Classic Forum Category,

Is Eire and United Kingdom adjacent by land …

No.

… or you need a transport between the two?

Yes.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Please take a look, thank you.

@djensen

I am glad you bring this topic back. In the past I have started similar initiatives, that resulted in topics like this one:

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/29905/triplea-list-of-relevant-links
or
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/29899/a-tribute-to-abattlemap

Or - in cooperation with @The-Captain - this ‘collecting’ topic had been created:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37535/the-captain-s-global-1940-house-rules-collection

I would suggest a maximum of “3 stickied topics”.

Just give me your “go” and I will start working on further “condensing” the stickied topics in a similar way.

@Elrood

That is what I experience, too.

@JohnnyCat said in Hand Painted Free Units for all players:

@The-Captain this is truly AMAZING. Thank You

I’d like to start a group of axis and allies players in the San Francisco Bay Area where I live. Do you know of anyone that can help me get that started ?
