TripleA 2.x new stable has been released

Have a look, fork it and contribute:
https://github.com/triplea-game

Just to bring it to attention:

In AA50 - when using Heavy Bombers for SBR - TripleA adds +1 to the best result of the two rolls, when it should only be
“You roll two dice for each bomber and select the best result when you attack or make a strategic bombing raid.”

I will try to report that on tripleadev, too.

(In Global 1940 this extra +1 is not added, although in both games “LHTR Heavy Bombers” is marked in the Game Options.)

@General:

Ya I would also play 1942 second edition it’s not easy and not more complex like global or nwo a great starter game I think it’s ww2v5 on triple a

Thanks for the advice! :-)

@jalingo:

OK apparently I can’t quote anything with a link either, but for those Mac users trying to get this to work…

For those still looking, you can download the legacy JRE 6 installer by googling “Java for OS X 2015-001”. I’d post the link, but I can’t :(. Anyhow it seems to keep getting moved / hidden but I found it in kBase (supportapplecom) and you can search there with the following article id: “dl1572”.

Welcome to the forum, jalingo, and thank you for your input.
Please note that the TripleA version you are referring to, is outdated.
So is the JRE 6, too.

TripleA 1.9 will be released soon, replacing version 1.8.0.9, and it needs Java 8.

@swordfish:

For one, I could not seem to find any of the map files (such as ‘basetiles’, ‘relieftiles’, ‘games’, etc.) that are a part of the default games (which I believe there are four of, including Big World 1942) that come with the TripleA client.

When downloading maps, they are saved in the same location as the savegames (the user folder) rather than in the application directory.  For instance, on my Win system, they are in C:\Users\username\triplea\maps.

I was just wondering if there will be new ABattlemap maps created for the upcoming A&A 1940 Pac/Europe games? I don’t have a ton of money to spend on new games - as much as I would love to own the physical board - so the computer software ABattlemap is my saviour at the moment.

So, anybody know or will this just inevitably be created? Thanks.

Sorry Jennifer but i have to agree with BUBA.

First you will find the best AAA Player there, much better in the mean , then the club only players like in the DAAK or elswhere.

Secound , sync probs are very rare but even if a game chrashes , you have an Autosave. I sometimes  watch tv on my Pc or listen to the radio on my pc  beside my games and i never had any big issues with triplea.

Third , of course you can let your firewall be active, triplea works good with hard and software firewalls, just forward port 3300 (or any port other you wanna use) and you will be fine .

Never mind, I figured it out. Suffice it to say, my game interface looks NOTHING like that shown in the readme files or on the sourceforge website.  If you are having a similiar problem, you have to click on load new game on the left hand side of the screen, and pick your game version from the various xml files there.
