This link takes you to All triplea maps https://github.com/triplea-maps

Select the map you want. We will use “global_40_expansion_uhd_boxes” for our example.

Yes, you need a current 2.6 pre-release to be able to post to the forum. Also AFAIK with 2.6 the map-download procedure and lobby will change, that is why you are stuck to 2.5 for using those. Installing both versions side by side is a good workaround.

Enjoy your games, now.

ps. also, just since I was messing around earlier, here is Bung’s given the same treatment, morphed to 30x96 ultra wide for comparison at like 200 DPI for a quickie. I used one of those alt reliefs with a darker ocean just cause it was laying around in the folder.

Effectively something where the entire map is about the size of a standard closet door.

You can hold up the sculpt to the screen again between like 100% and 200% zoom to see how they’d square up there for a ballpark. For the physical sculpts I mean just to get a feel. The spacing is similar I think just with a different set of morphs for the initial map projection, more in line with the OOB look there, least for the contours.

For the UHD what I did was basically like an inverted Mercator I guess. So in the UHD the stuff around the Equator and in the Tropics is significantly enlarged, to magnify the main theaters of ops, and the stuff towards the poles is much more compressed. Then you get a similar sort of compression along the meridian that runs down the middle of board at the theater split (basically central Asia/Mid East area) where you get similar distortions. Mainly so the TT connects could strike the right way, or at least be analogous. I think that’s maybe a good way to think of it, like a funhouse backwards mirror invert on Mercator, stretchy in the middle, compressed along the top/bottom, aiming to work off the requirements of the sculpts.

I think maybe 3 panels? That way it could also have support along a table split too, like if using 2x 6ft tables instead of a single 8 ft table.

Folded along the horizontal would probably work for like a single fold. Or 6 rigid panels basically at like 15x30 would also work.

In the above game, I noticed China is not immune to convoy attacks, while the rules clearly say it is. Can someone fix that please. Thank you!

Sometimes the solution is that easy…  :roll:

In TripleA just use EDIT-Mode to assign the technologies you want to the nations you want.
You can do that for all nations when it comes to Germany’s very first “Buy Tech tokens”-Phase,
and of course at any time later.

I do not know why I did not realize that before…

@Veqryn:

game id is only used for tourney games, to identify the game.
you’d have to ask someone who has done it before, on the TripleAWarClub

I found out that the game-ID is used to distinguish between different games on the dice server.
So every mail that returns from the server has the game-id at the beginning of the “Subject”.

Sorry, my last bug report may have been not-actually-a-bug.
The enemy ships that appeared to co-exist with the own were not moved but built there in the Purchase Phase.
I understood this is forbidden in some A&A versions and allowed in others - but can’t track now which is which ;-)
The scenario may have used the setting which allows that.

As for the NO’s and such, just this Thursday the developer announced he had an anlpha release ready, and they are testing it.
He expects a Beta this week.
(However, sligth problem, tripleadev.org went down yesterday….)

And Jen…it’s kinda cheap to knock on TripleA being it’s 10th release, where Battlemap is only at .87 or whatvere.
What do you think? Battlemap is a picture, and other small pictures that you need to drag around yourself.
TripleA actually incorporates an entire game engine.

Let me see you do that in one release…
