TripleA problems

@trulpen

right on. It will all be second nature for you pretty soon. :)

Rock On

just so you know I thought the same thing the first time I saw it :)

Out of disk space on the server.

OK, first thing I will do is to replace the triplea.jar with the prerelease version!  :-)

Changes for Global 1940 version 3.0

Added all technology to Global 1940. Allowed paratroopers to be moved in a second combat movement phase. Made bonus for Mech Infantry work correctly. Made Rockets go 4 spaces and not fly over neutrals. Allowed UK_Pacific to share the cost of researching technology. Made British share all technology with UK_Pacific. Allowed Convoy Blockades to roll dice (you can turn this off in game options). Allowed Low Luck for Strategy Bombing and Rockets to be set again. Stopped British air units from dying if UK_Pacific was building a factory under them. Forced Tactical Bombers to only be able to target airfields and harbours. Allowed Submarines to enter any sea zone during non-combat, but end movement if there is an enemy Destroyer present.

(and a TON more fixes that were fixed in the TripleA engine [not the map files])

Clarifications about TripleA 1.6 and TripleA 1.5.2.1, and using both at the same time:

Can you play TripleA 1.5.2.1 savegames on TripleA 1.6?
Savegames are incompatible due to the new features i’ve added to 1.6
Keep 1.5.2.1, and download 1.6, and you can run them both at the same time (use 1.5.2.1 for your 1.5.2.1 savegames, and 1.6 for your 1.6 savegames)
The only time savegames are ever compatible, is if it is the 4th digit that is the only digit that changes.
Example: 1.5.2.1 to 1.5.2.2 would be compatible
while 1.5.2.1 to 1.6 is not compatible

Can someone with TripleA 1.5.2.1 play against someone using TripleA 1.6?
No, you must both be using the same version.  
But don’t worry, you can have BOTH versions on your computer.  
When you want to continue your ongoing game that you started with 1.5.2.1, then use 1.5.2.1.
When you want to start a new game with someone who also has 1.6, then use 1.6

If I download Global version 3.0, will I not be able to continue or start games using TripleA 1.5.2.1?
No.
Global version 3.0 contains both 3.0 and 2.9, that way you can use 3.0 with TripleA 1.6, and use 2.9 with TripleA 1.5.2.1
The 2.9 version is named “World War II Global 1940 Alpha”
The 3.0 version is named “World War II Global 1940 Alpha Future”
You will see both of them in your list when you are using TripleA 1.6,
And you will only see the 2.9 version in your list when you are using TripleA 1.5.2.1

@Veqryn:

LHTR = larry harris tournament rules

Yes, I know.
@Veqryn:

besides modifying the java bin, you will have to play by the rulebook + FAQ that is printed on the A&A website, or the LHTR rules

Ah, I now see what causes my confusion:
On the A&A/Wizards-Site there is an old FAQ (March, 20 2009)
http://www.wizards.com/AvalonHill/rules/AxAl-AnEd_Errata.pdf
that does not contain any Heavy Bombers changes.
So Heavy Bombers’ rules are OOB rules.

My games usually are under OOB-rules with latest FAQ (February, 5 2010),
as to be found on Harris Game Design
http://harrisgamedesign.com/pdf/A&A_Anniversary_FAQ.pdf
Here Heavy Bombers are changed to “roll both and choose best”
(but without +1 on SBR).

So the TripleA map does not reflect the latest rules but a status prior to these.
Got it now. Thank you! :)

@redrum:

Yeah it would be good to update or remove this post now. It would be good to review all the stickied posts in the software subforum.

Unstickied today, I am about to create a new thread collecting the latest relevant links.

Cancel last I found it.  :-)

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.
