Ah cool, so ask your partner to play with exactly the same version.

@FranceNeedsMorePower
No, you don’t have to wait.
Just download from https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases

@FranceNeedsMorePower
@SuperbattleshipYamato

Be sure to be on the same current (maybe latest) Triplea-pre-release-version, just to eliminate one possible reason of your issue.

@FranceNeedsMorePower said in Triple A Support 1914 Improved:

So I was trying to play 1914 Improved with @SuperbattleshipYamato and when we opened each other’s saved games it said this: “Failed to start game IllegalStateException: Image Not Found:flags/Changer_small.gif”

There indeed is no ‘Changer_small.gif’ file inside the flags directory.
The correct file would be 'Changer_small.png" - that is included.

@barnee What is the one that is tournament called?

There are two games (xml-files inside the map-repository).
One is called ‘1914 improved’ and the other
one is called ‘1914 tournament’.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

Which version of TripleA are both of you using?

@FranceNeedsMorePower

As @barnee says.
Have you checked this idea with your opponent?

@mike64 said in League General Discussion Thread:

issue does not seem to be edit related as I was not in edit mode. also not version related as reproduced in two different versions but with same savegame file. as stucifer said it may be something in the savegame file. may have been seeing this happening for a while in other games but did not really notice as I was attacking to wipe out opponent not strafe

It doesn’t matter whether you try that specific savegame with edit mode on or off or with what TripleA version ever. A savegame contains more or less the complete history of a game. And once an error is introduced into a savegame it is there and stays there. You cannot expect a ‘corrupted’ savegame to be healed by using a different TripleA-version. So yes, the error most likely is inside the savegame file.

And most likely errors within savegames are introduced by
a) using edit mode at a problematic point during the game (see my above statement)
b) using a version of TripleA containing maybe a specific bug
c) players using different (maybe incompatible) versions of TripleA

To get behind a possible game engine error it is important that it is reproducible with a current 2.7 version and a new game started with exactly this current version.

@Stucifer said in League General Discussion Thread:

With Edit mode enabled for smoother resolution of naval battles with subs involved, it would not prompt for Retreat and just goes immediately to the next round of rolling dice.

This appears to be the culprit here: Edit Mode has never been supposed to be active during gameplay. In the past there have always been warnings about using Edit Mode even during phases. Edit Mode should be activated (and after action deactivated) at the very beginning or at the very end of a phase.
And likely never during conduct combat phase.

FWIW I cannot reproduce the issue either.

It works again!

@barnee It is an “ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT” , so no reply from the server. This indicates that MARTI is currently down for whatever reason.

The same scenario in PTV:

Same result.

@surfer I can’t reproduce your issue. Have you by chance tried with 2.5.22294 or a 2.7 pre-release, too?

I tested this scenario (Global 1940.2) .
A 100% result with a loss of 5-6 planes appears to reflect the expected outcome.

Tested with 2.5.22294 and 2.7 pre.

@ubernaut
You are totally right, of course. I was rather reflecting different results due to different AA-rules.

@ubernaut said in Battle calculator is not computing hits for AA units:

@surfer not sure which maps u r referring to

They are Global1940 or Global1940-based.

Does TWW follow the same AA-unit-rules as Global1940?

@Rongor said in Is there a way to engage in air war only?:

I would like to air attack these enemy air units on that enemy island. Can I do this without the tanks sitting on that same island defending against my air with their 3 or less rolls?

It seems that bombing enemy ground forces is also quite risky. I am a bit surprised that any ground units defends against air attack with the same capability as it would against enemy ground forces…

Welcome to the forum. The concept of the game is that you attack in hostile seazones and/or in hostile territories. And when you attack there you attack everything. You can’t choose to attack only a part of the units present there (except bombing raids - here you choose to attack a facility).

So an “air only battle” is not part of the rules (except maybe the one round dogfight between bombers, escorts and interceptors in the special case of bombing raids).

@HGC

I see, however you are correct. The “Sea Units Starting in Enemy-Occupied Sea Zones” - rules add to the regular Combat Move rules - they don’t suspend them.

@Miznasty I didn’t watch those videos, just know about their existence.

Anyone can confirm?

@HGC said in Unit Starting in a Hostile Sea Zone 110:

Germany has a fleet of surface warships in110. The UK built a destroyer there on its turn. There are Allied destroyers in 104 and an Allied fleet at Gibraltar in 91. Can the Germany move its fleet through 104 to attack the Allied fleet in 91 or does it have to respect the rule of stopping at the first hostile sea zone it encounters which would be 104?

Of course the Allied destroyers in 104 block Germany’s movement. So no, Germany can’t move through 104 to 91, but must stop in 104 and conduct combat there.

Out of curiosity: What irritated you?

@HGC Welcome to the forum.

As your question is neither about the website nor the forum I have moved your topic to the Axis & Allies Global 1940 forum category.
