Fortress America

Not directly A&A-related, but I will give it a try :-)

Does anyone know how to play Fortress America? I have bought the MB board game on eBay, read the rule book, watched YT videos, and we were still too stupid to start round one - too many questions were open. Frustrating. Maybe there was too much Axis & Allies in my head…

Yep, Love that game Just played it twice recently. What are your questions?

[Martin]

Wow, that was quicker than expected - awesome! Let me look into it again, and I will get in touch in a few days!

I’m having a problem loading a new map.

“This save was made by a newer version of TripleA”.

I’ve uninstalled TripleA, redownloaded and installed. Still broken.

Downloaded the latest version of Java (11.0.6). Still broken.

Redownloaded the World War II Global 1940 map. Still broken.

I’m out of ideas! Anybody know what to do?

@LennardF https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.6.14319 here you can find the new version. You only have to d/l the file from the folder where your pc puts it when you try to open it

[LennardF]

@Sovietishcat Thanks! Mouse over seems to be half broken now (only shows units for currently attacking forces) but otherwise… I’m back in business! Great turn around, tech support here is among the best in the business!

It is only mid-July, and there were already 30% more OOB games finished than during all the year 2022 (39 vs. 30).

Nice to see a revival and a few new players who joined! I assume with a lag of a year or two there might also be more BM games played (55 as of today vs. 153 in 2022).

PtV appears to remain stable (20 vs. 38).

Game on! :-)

Hey all, just wanted to drop in to say hello and that I miss gaming here with all of you. It’s been some time. Too bad I didn’t make a run for a three-peat this year, I guess I really needed a long break from all gaming in general. Anyway, I doubt I’ll be playing for a while longer still, but thought I’d check in nonetheless to see how everybody’s doing.

Thanks for checking in. it’s a good sign for your returning. What I noted is several good and active players disappeared from the league for a couple of years. And they are returning now. Eg, Adam, Roboto, you, and me. Let me know when you are ready for a game.

[farmboy]

@axis-dominion glad you are getting the break you need and looking forward to your return when you are ready!

[aequitas-et-veritas]

I am happy you stopped by and hope that you are coming back.
See you soon.

Error message after choosing losses in version 2.6.14366

Dear all,

I already sent a message to @Panther and @FlyingBadger , but maybe anyone had already experienced (and solved) this issue.

Germany attacked in SZ110, had a few hits, and the Allies have chosen their casualties. Once I press “OK”, I get the below error message.

Has anyone seen this before (and fixed it)? I actually like that “returnfire … is null”, but I would like to continue the game ;-)

Many thanks in advance!

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@Martin , @FlyingBadger you are sure both running the same version from the start of this game?

[Sovietishcat]

@martin, I have seen this one before; I even made a threat with triplea and notified Panther. I have never received a feedback or solution.

I had to do the combat right through it ie I left triplea open with the screen. If you post a save, it might trigger it :expressionless:

Hopefully Christmas comes soon and there is a solution.

I usually answer always when I am addressed personally. So I must have somehow missed your notification or your TripleA-thread. Please point me to it, might be helpful …

@Sovietishcat “I have seen this one before; I even made a threat with triplea and notified Panther. I have never received a feedback or solution.”

As a software developer I have to note that this is the problem with open source software. There is no business model for people continuing to donate tens of thousands of dollars worth of engineering time to keep this thing afloat. Don’t get me wrong, I love having the software, it’s just a case of sometimes you get what you pay for.

Also, Martin, it’s been awhile and I’m playing again so hopefully we can get in a game later this year.

[Sovietishcat]

@Panther, yes you are right you did reply, what I meant to say was I have never received a reply from Triplea when I reported to triplea the issue.

Here is the thread on the forum. https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/39798/new-version-2-6-14319-crashing-after-combat-rolls

@Sovietishcat

Most likely no TripleA developer will ever look into our TripleA support category. This is why I recommended to you to hit the “Report to TripleA” button in that topic. This produces an issue at Github, the place where the developers look and maintain the software (provided someone is active).

The support category here is more or less run by me - where I try to provide user support and help with issues on the user’s side - but I am not a developer or coder.

[Sovietishcat]

@Panther Yes I did click " Report to TripleA" Maybe nobody is active :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

[Panther]

@Sovietishcat

Maybe :smile:
Do you remember what happened, then? Best would be if you remembered the issue# that was created or shown. I can look into that issue to see if anyone dealt with it.
