BM3.2 has been uploaded. Resolves issues with Persia convoy lane bonus applying before round 3.

I threw in combined posting for the allies for the map with combat move first. i.e. UK post includes the summary from USA & China; ditto for France wrt ANZAC. If there is any demand I’ll extend that to the standard version.

Cool.

Thanks all for keeping these improvements coming. :-)

Thanks for the continued improvements.

Not sure if this is the best thread for this, but I just downloaded 1.9.0.0.3627 of TripleA, and I get an error when I try to select a map.  I’m trying to use the latest version of Balanced Mod.

I checked, and my Java is fully up to date (Version 8, update 121).  I’ve attached the error I’m getting as a txt file.  It looks like the same thing repeated multiple times to me, but I don’t know what it means.

When you try to select any map?

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the maps. Other than that I can’t help you.

[regularkid]

yah i don’t recognize that error as anything specific to BM. haven’t encountered it before. do it happen with other maps?

[Shin-Ji]

I just uninstalled the 1.9 versions of TripleA that I had on the system and tried downloading a new copy - 32 bit this time, tho my system is 64 bit.  Same error.  It comes up before I have even downloaded any maps.  I just get that error anytime I hit the select map button or open the software.

I can open saved games, but not maps.  Very odd.

you might try asking under software. Panther might know

Where do you find the most updated version of this map?

[Adam514]

If you update your G40 maps you’ll automatically have BM3.2.

Just wanted to thank Barney for pointing me towards the Software forum and P@nther.  With their help, I got everything running.

Is the “combined posting” only available for BM3 CM1st?
Or for BM3 in generell??

[simon33]

I’ve added combined turn summary for the purchase first map but it will still give you the option to post. Done the same thing for 2nd ed. You’ll have to re-download the map to get it.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

To be sure. Right now it is available for BM3 CM1st (BM3 Combat Move 1st) maps and BM2 but not for BM3?

[simon33]

There is no BM2 except in the history.

The difference between the combat move 1st maps and the purchase first maps (besides step order) is that the purchase first maps will give you an option to post at the end of the turn. Combat Move first bypasses this. This enables you to play more than two players more easily with Purchase first. In all cases (once you grab the updated version) the summary will include USA/C/UK in the UK summary and ANZAC in the French summary.

Hopefully, this doesn’t cause too much confusion.

[simon33]

BM3.3 resolves an issue with the Archangel and Siberian Lend Lease bonus for a Japanese DOW on USSR applying before round 3.

BTW, you also don’t need to post USA/China/ANZAC any more. The summary is included in UK and France. The combat move first map doesn’t prompt you to post but the normal one does in case you’re playing more than two players, as unlikely as that is.

New Unit - Marines: Cost 5;

haha. it was briefly considered (by me) for Yugoslavia. . . using the same principle as the Chinese Guerillas. What did you have in mind? Or was it just a pretext to post that awesome picture…
