Loading games (was: Saving games)

@Panther I found a way around it. I don’t get an error message at all. The TripleA logo pops up on my screen and freezes. The only way for me to get rid of it is to restart the computer. However, I think I’ll be alright since I found a workaround. Thanks for the response, though.

@Panther
Yikes! Ok, thanks, again. Making sure everyone updates to the latest version, before starting a new game, is, inevitably, mid-game, for their other games, which would then mess up those games. Installing and running different Triple A versions in different directories sounds like a nightmare to this tech challenged fella. It doesn’t sound like I have a choice, though. Dammit!

@admiral_nimitz are you still up for a game? G1940 with a bid for Allies?

Play by forum.

@Marty-R

I have moved this topic to TripleA support. Please indicate if you referred to something else.

There we have the culprit:

TripleA needs Java 8, as there are compatibility issues with Java 9 and Java 10.

Haven’t you installed Java 8 Update 171?

Now you have got options as follows:

Please report back.  :-)

Why don’t you try starting a local game in 1.9 then SA?

Of if you want to load one from the forum, my league game against AetV is version 1.9

@Gargantua:

TripleA is cheat-proof

That’s not entirely accurate.  There is a scenario I can think of in which some shady circumstances can occur - in a particular scenario.

It’s safer to say - Axis and Allies is cheat proof, as long as your dice are done through a server - and you pay attention to the actual game mechanics.

Well I’m mostly comparing it to Battlemap, where it would be easy to add units here or there.  If extra units are discovered, there’s no way to tell if it’s cheating or an unintended mistake.

In my experience, it’s the unintentional mistakes that most often mar Battlemap games.  Consequently, many players spend alot of time checking maps and moves for accuracy.

With TripleA the above scenarios don’t happen, because you’d have to use edit to add in units that shouldn’t be there.  And any edit is clearly visible in the game history.

I don’t know much about TripleA but I like abattlemap and using a online dice roller. I made a tutorial to help people use it and the dicey roller, found at www.axisandallies.us. I play at www.aamc.net
