@djensen Thank you for all what you are doing for us. :+1:

Myself, I have spent an unusual amount of time on the forum and in front of my PCs before, during and after the migration, in order to identify problems, deal with feedback, provide information, give support, suggesting my ideas as regards content and organization, sorting threads, cleaning-up topics… just to name some activities. (Thank you to my family for their understanding :hearts: )

Now, I don’t even do this as a business, I do it just for fun. As Dave with this site gives me the chance to ideally combine my hobbies: I love strategic boardgames, I am an IT-interested autodidact, I love to moderate discussions and deal with change management. Doing all of this and the feedback I sometimes get from the community is “salary” enough.

Instead, I will be happy to donate another 50 USD for my next 2019 Gold patronage in some weeks.

I don’t expect that everyone takes the same fun out of this site as I do. And I am aware that only a fraction of users even reads the topics in this category including this thread. But in case you read it, and in case you take some fun out of this website and have not donated so far - please consider doing it now!

UHD World War II Global map in Triple A
Look under the experimental tab.
I think you need 2.5.22294 to see it, can’t use a .6

To run it under TripleA 2.6.x do as follows:

Go to
https://github.com/triplea-maps/uhd_world_war_ii_global

Klick on the green “code” button:

Now - in the window that just opened - click “Download ZIP” to download the zip-container of that map.

Move the downloaded zip-file to the “downloadedMaps” directory of your TripleA installation.

After that start TripleA. The zip-file will be extracted and the map will be available from the “Select Game” dialogue.

Enjoy!

Currently this community when using TripleA suffers from some serious problems described and discussed here and - more important - on the triplea-game .org forum.

Everybody feel free to add your concerns to the above mentioned topics. You don’t reach the developer(s) here but over there.

Concerning the Play-By-Forum issue:

For quite some time now the issue is that TripleA has been incompatible with the current forum software (NodeBB). The issue will not be resolved until the forum software and the TripleA software will be ‘harmonized’. Unfortunately I do not know whenever this will happen.

As a workaround you will need to manually send the game history and load up manually created savegames to the forum. You can use ‘Play by Email’ instead of ‘Play by Forum’ to start the game and use the dice server. You don’t need to configure the email settings in the ‘Play by EMail’ form.

Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and a big Thank You to all of you, who make this forum a great place to be!

What does the New version brings?

I hope they publish a “What’s New?” or add the Release Notes anytime soon.

However, there have been hundreds if not thousands of updates in four years since 2.5. TripleA software development is a continuous process.
If you are deeper interested you might want to check out the notes of all the pull requests that resulted in (pre-) releases on Github in the meantime until they publish something more:

@ussgordoncaptain

By the rulebook (Europe 1940 2ed, page 10):
“Friendly neutrals … … They can be moved into (but
not through) as a noncombat move by land units of a
power that is at war (see “Noncombat Move,” page 22).
This moves the territory out of its neutral status at the
end of the Noncombat Move phase”.

So the answer is “No”.

You’d need to move the mech infantry and the regular infantry at the same time.
The mech infantry can’t “move through”.

@captain-walker
If users upvote your posting by klicking the heart symbol

this adds to your “reputation”.

Additionally there appears to be a “reward system” that adds for example 200 “points” once your post count exceeds 20,000, regardless of what you have posted (including for example TripleA turn postings).

So “reputation” is the sum of all upvotes (maybe subjective quality, maybe a simple confirmation of taking notice) and quantity (mass posting reward), which - benevolently - might be interpreted as reward for long time membership.

@Sovietishcat

Most likely no TripleA developer will ever look into our TripleA support category. This is why I recommended to you to hit the “Report to TripleA” button in that topic. This produces an issue at Github, the place where the developers look and maintain the software (provided someone is active).

The support category here is more or less run by me - where I try to provide user support and help with issues on the user’s side - but I am not a developer or coder.

@gamerman01 @MrRoboto

I am ready to assist with administrative (forum related) tasks. Let me know.

@Martin

Very sad news. Thank you for sharing.

Welcome to the forum.

@Gunngrinner said in Clarification needed…. Russia/Berlin captured on same turn:

Does Russia plunder all the IPCs from Germany,

Yes. By the rules (e.g. rulebook 1940 Europe SE), page 21, “You collect these IPCs
even if your own capital is in enemy hands.”

@Gunngrinner said in Clarification needed…. Russia/Berlin captured on same turn:

… and if so, can they use uncaptured factories to place new units on their next turn?

No. Rulebook (same page) says: “The original controller of the captured capital is still in the game but can’t collect income from any territories he or she still controls and can’t buy new units. The player skips all but the Combat Move, Conduct Combat, and Noncombat Move phases until the capital is liberated.”

@zbox said in Amphibious assault order:

Question on which units participate in sea zone attack and which units participate in land battle…

Ex: US attacking W.Germany. 3 fighters can scramble, no Ger ships in sea zone. Battleship, Cruiser, AC w/ 2 fighters attacking.

When does Germany announce their scramble count( if any) and when does US have to announce US fighters for sea battle?

If US announces first but then Ger doesn’t scramble, can all units participate in amphibious assault?

Welcome to the Forum.

Given the above mentioned setup there can’t be neither an attack in the seazone nor a scramble nor an amphibious assault.
So I suppose you simply forgot to mention at least one transport with at least one land unit on it.

Now let’s assume that your scenario includes one or more attacking transport(s) with one ore more land unit(s).

By the rules (Rulebook Europe 1940.2, page 16)
“Scrambling is a special movement that the defender can make at the end of this [Combat Move] phase. It must be done after all of the attacker’s combat movements have been completed and all attacks have been declared.”

So this answers your questions. The US during combat move phase has to decide to bring fighters to either the seazone in question or to the land territory - or to both spaces before the defender’s decision to scramble. In other words the defender’s decision will be based on the attacker’s movements, and that ends the Combat Move phase.

So only the planes that US moved to Germany will participate in the land batttle (provided the sea zone can be cleared of enemy units - the potentially scrambled German planes - before).

The first post has been updated to include the 2024 reprint (issued by Renegade).

@Witt Must have missed that. However, great that you have got it in the end.
No, I am still waiting for availability here.

@Witt
Have you received your copy in the meantime?

I have forked a discussion about France’s role in the game to a separate topic.

It of course might be worth to be discussed but in an own thread, please.

@VictoryFirst said in JPN DOW:

@barnee

No, if Japan declares war on UK and ANZAC, it drags the US into the war also, making the US ships enemies.

Sorry, this is not correct. It just allows USA to declare war on any/all Axis power(s).
Rulebook Pac. 1940.2, page 37:

“Japan may declare war on the United Kingdom, ANZAC, the United States, France, or the Soviet Union at the beginning of the Combat Move phase of any of its turns. A declaration of war by Japan against either the United Kingdom or ANZAC will immediately result in a state of war between Japan and both of those powers.”

“The United States may not declare war on any Axis power unless an Axis power either declares war on it first or captures London or any territory in North America, or Japan makes an unprovoked declaration of war against the UK or ANZAC, after which it may declare war on any or all Axis powers on its following turn.”

Please discuss all your house rule ideas in the House Rule Category of this forum.

This is why I have moved all your house rule related topics to that category.
