@simon-tressel PBF is okay as well as PBEM. Both send marti dice rolls to those nominated. We all used to use PBF but some of us (well, me at least!) started getting error messages and switched to PBEM. It is less convenient than PBF as you have to manually copy and paste your game turn view and also save and upload the game file. So if PBF is working for you then carry on using it.

Thank you for the write up Matt…that is helpful, as it can be hard to spot (and remember) the differences between versions of the games.
-
Thanks for that, Whack.
But are we playing the old version or the newer one? -
Looks like th rules of the old one. I hope I can still load it!
-
@wittmann:
Thanks for that, Whack.
But are we playing the old version or the newer one?I think you’re referring to WAW (old) and WAW1940 (new)?
Regular WAW starts with the territories of Belgium and the Netherlands as neutral.
I don’t know anything about pros/cons between them.
-
dawg’s version crashes when he attacks the neutrals in our game. We don’t know why, but I load the game and do the dice rolls to the server for him then upload for him to continue.
A real pain.
I just downloaded WAW today (via TripleA) and both WAW versions are 2.1.1,
The tripleA engine version on my laptop was 1.9.0.0.7398I experienced crashes with both versions while attacking neutrals.
I am going to update my tripleA, see what happens, and report back.
-
I installed TripleA engine version 1.9.0.0.7398 (the promoted version on http://triplea-game.org/) and then installed WAW.
In this version of TripleA, in the Download Maps interface, World at War is now under the “Experimental” tab (that may be because WAW added a bunch of other variants?)
Anyways, TripleA 1.9.0.0.7398 and WAW 2.1.1 seemed to work fine for me (I attacked a dozen neutrals in the regular WAW variant and none triggered a crash this time).
-
damn copy paste :lol:
I meant .7621 each time there:
I installed TripleA engine version 1.9.0.0.7621 (the promoted version on http://triplea-game.org/) and then installed WAW.

@wittmann:

But are we playing the old version or the newer one?Hmm. The only multi we’ve ever played is the WAW version. Thew WAW1940 is under the variants download. I know that it plays a bit different, and several unit properties have changed, so I’m only referring to the old WAW.
-
We’re playing the same version as last team game. It has had some changes to the map and unit placement since we first started doing this, but I feel it’s a better game than the 1940 one.
I haven’t decided who to play yet….
-
Fine by me. Would rather soneone else posted the thread and I started from there, if that is okay.
Goodnight all. -

Whackamatt 83I haven’t tried either Japanese faction, so this should be fun. As far as I know, 7378 is current released version, or should I upgrade to the 8320 version that was released January 20?
-
I uploaded the one Whackamatt suggested and Panther said it was compatible with, the Neutral attack crashing, 7378.
-
i just down loaded the 7621 version and it has worked for me
i can battle the neutrals now and i haven’t been able to for a while
