Chances of a Triple-A 1914? Or anything remotely close?

@suprise-attack When you click reply, a window will open up. Beneath where it says “Replying to …” there are a series of icons. The one farthest to the right is to upload an attachment. You can add your game file as an attachment to your post. I think it works anyway. I haven’t got a reply from my opponent yet lol.

@simon33:

I’ve been asked to get it verified that this is indeed a bug in Triple-A. Probably in the map/xml setup.

We agree that it should be Pacific, right?

Perhaps no one has noticed that it is in fact Europe.

Correct, but it is in the game notes:

@Game:

Rules specific to 1940 the engine does not do, but you must follow:
…

(EM) India (UK Pacific) must pay for repairing any damaged facilities on the pacific half of the board (instead of London paying) (use edit mode to subtrack the PUs from India and give back to London).
…

If you really want to alter game-mechanics, in other words create a mod, you have to alter the XML-File in the map-folder.

To do this open it with a program, I prefer Notepad++ (free download), and change what you want.

The XML of map PactofSteel2 has almost every game-possibility explained, so is like a modding-guide.
http://triplea.sourceforge.net/mywiki/Forum has lots of threads about modding and people who can help out if you get stuck.

Ignore that. Occurred to me that placing units is the same for 40 and 42.2 and found this in the 40 list:

Placing units -
a)  Triple A allows you to hold back units that you purchased without placing them.  Per the rule book, you are to be refunded your money. (is in Triple A notes)

@majikforce:

A few more questions:

1: Am I able to setup email notifications to all the players when a turn is posted and how?  Or do people need to periodically check the forum thread?

2: Is there a feature in the game that tells you what units are in each territory, more specifically seazones?  I am having trouble distinguishing between the ships.  Mostly cruisers and battleships.  Or is there a cheat sheet of the unit pictures?

3: What prevents someone from rolling out combat not liking the results so they reload the game and run the rolls again?  I’m not worried about my group but just wondered when playing strangers.  Most people on the forums are really great and really helpful but you do get the occasional d-bag.

1. If you play by forum the players check the forum. But every player receives the mails from the dice server. This of course is an indication that something has happened. Only if you play by Mail the players recieve the turns by mail and are informed this way.

2. If you start TripleA and have the map on the screen you will see some information on the right side. Just klick on “Territory” and use the mouse to hover over the territory you want to know more about. The information and units are presented on the right side of the screen then. Being there, hover the mouse over the unit then. You will see all information concerning that unit including the name. I recommend to take a screen shot from the purchase-units screen, though. With the help of this image you can easily distinguish between the units at any time.

3. This is why you register your emails with the dice server. You will get emails with the rolls then. This way you can be sure that no one cheated.
And: TripleA has a history mode (Menu Game-Show History). Everything that happened is presented to you and can be reproduced - and compared when using the results from the dice server.

(Leave history mode via Menu Game-Show current game)

HTH  :-)

I had that same problem.
I solved it by un-installing Triple A and then I installed the newest version of Triple A with the link that included JAVA.
Everything worked great then. I hope this helps you!

:-)  if u have any questions.
