@Martin thanks for sharing. Very sad to hear.

[Pejon_88]

Thanks for sharing these incredibly sad news… I didn’t know until now that he actually passed. I can add that Joakim suffered from terminal colorectal cancer he was diagnosed with probably around 2020 or a bit earlier. I hadn’t reached out to him for a few months now but I will add that he most likely stayed positive and brave until the end. As always…

I got to know Joakim about 8 years ago when I was searching for guys to play OOB 1940 with since I had no one to play with at the time. I ended up meeting about 5 other playing a game, most of whom were very new to the game. One of these guys were a very social, positive and curios individual called Joakim. He showed an interest of the game and not before long he and I started playing 15h sessions of the game ourselves. We even got to start inventing new rules for tech and whatnot. Many of you can probably relate.

After about a year he mentioned this forum where you could play games against people wherever. I was very hesitant at first but eventually tried it out. The rest is history as they say.

In addition to all the kind words from the community l also want to add my personal view of Joakim. He was a very intelligent man, one of you mentioned his chess playing, but he also had an unfinished PhD he decided not to pursue at the time. He was always curios and very competitive. He loved working out and specifically running which was something he excelled in.

Joakim leaves behind two daughters of whom both I’ve met while playing in his apartment many years ago.

I wish everyone the best, wherever you are on planet Earth, on this very sad day.

Warm regards Peter

@Pejon_88 Well said! Trulpen and I played. Fun and relaxed. Just the way I like it. This was when i was spitting into the wind with no or low bid for oob. Before AndrewAAgamer came along with a 60 bid and gave me renewed hope.

FYI:

The developer(s) of TripleA decided to call version 2.6.14752 ‘stable’.
So this is the version you get when you move to
https://triplea-game.org/download/

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:

@Amon-Sul and everyone interested:

I’ve used 2.6 a little and I like the warning it gives why making combat moves into a territory that the enemy could scramble to. Also, when you hover over a territory it shows the units in the status bar (which is a quick way to see what is in crowded territories).

Other nice things from the change log that look good:

• Can scroll map when prompts are visible
• Units with less movement are killed first
• Remaining movement of air untis displayed when picking casualties
• No retreat symbol when picking casualties

[FlyingBadger]

When setting up a game, I’d suggest checking with the opponent what major version of TripleA is to be used. I’m not sure about the backward / forward compatibilty of 2.6 with 2.5, but you can have both installed on the same machine, just have to make sure to load the right one.

Any one using the Post to Forum function in 2.6? Is it working well?

2.6 and 2.5 are NOT compatible. And PbF works just fine.

I just wanted to inform the league players about the new version and did not intend to distract from league topics.

Thank you.

anyone know why in bm4 UK pac on turn 1 would not get their NO for no subs in the indian ocean, even tho all the conditions are met? they’re not at war yet, but the wording doesn’t require them to be at war with japan. it’s something i never noticed before, is it a bug or am i missing something here?

and here’s the game thread, it’s a team game with my cousins and one of them noticed it: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/40795/bm4-cousins-team-game-2024-1?_=1714352206348

only thing i can think of is that since they’re not at war yet, they can’t possibly have enemy subs that would violate this NO… but seems to me it should be more explicitly worded and made clearer in that case

[farmboy]

@axis-dominion I think it is the issue that you are not at war so Japanese subs are not enemy ones. But since there are enemy subs (German or Italian) that could hypothetically reach before one is at war with Japan, the text could be clarified. But I’m sure Adam can confirm/correct what I’m saying.

There should be an at war clause as well.

It’s what I always assumed but never bothered to check, took a newbie cousin to point it out since of course he’s reading and learning the objectives for the first time. Ok thanks for confirming!

maybe you guys can correct it in bm4.2, and while you’re at it make the battleships cost 18 and cruisers 11 like in ptv, or better yet, 16 and 10. :)

[gamerman01]

@axis-dominion

While that request is sitting there,
Tacs to 10, Fighters to 11 please
Maybe even subs to 7
Bombers to 13

I know my dreams will never come to fruition, so maybe I’ll get somebody cool like @oysteilo to play it with me

AD, cruisers might be OK at 12 if they are given anti-submarine capabilities of destroyers (along with marines being in play)
