[boldfresh]

ok i’m ready to make a move but when i look at this map i am confused - what is the 2 inf and fighter for the french that are hovering over holland/belgium with a black line under them.  also there is a black line under the naval base in gibraltar.  and what are the three hook looking things in a white circle on southern italy?

[boldfresh]

oh the white circle on southern italy denotes the capital…

well, i have absolutely no idea what i am doing…  :lol:

where can i find the complete rule set for 3.9?

thanks

[questioneer]

That ok man, its quite the game, quite a puzzle.  It will take you awhile.  You may need to read the rules a few times and just play a few games.  Its much more complicated than AA50.

here is the link:

This is actually the Final Alpha.  Europe 40 and Pacific 40 have been taken off the shelves.  Can’t buy them anymore.  That’s because the 2nd Edition of Europe 40 and Pacific 40 will be out this fall Larry says.

[questioneer]

Used EDIT mode for the non-combat on the bombers.  Sometimes TripleA won’t always choose the best path in one straight shot so you have to edit- that’s rare.  You can fix this by doing one step moves at a time, but just to let you know the bmrs can make it to Yunnan and NCM on Kwangsi- you can check the map if you like.

Always inform your opponent if you use EDIT mode for something. :-)

getting an error message when i try to pull up the game:

“could not find file folder or zip for map WORLD WAR II GLOBAL.
PLEASE DOWNLOAD THIS MAP if you do not have it.
If you are making a map or mod, make sure the mapName property within the xml game file exactly matches the map zip or folder name”

:? :?

Uh…don’t know about this one…I would ask Veqryn or P@nther.

That’s a bit of a head-scratcher, since you apparently successfully loaded Questioneer’s file for your Russian turn.  So it doesn’t make sense that you’d have problems now.

Some possibilities

1. you’re not using the same version of the global map.  The current version (available via “Download Maps” and “List Games” is 2.8)…if one of you are playing with 2.6 or 2.7 that could be the source of your problems.

2. Do you have more than 1 version of TripleA installed?  Make sure you’re using 1.521…I’d uninstall the other versions to avoid confusion.

[boldfresh]

hmm now it’s working… and i did nothing.  weird.

[boldfresh]

sure seems to be a lot of aa guns  many times multiples in territories?  - i guess i need to do some review of the aa gun rules.

I downloaded version 2.8 recently- did you???  Shouldn’t be a problem though.  I’ve played with mixed versions before.

[boldfresh]

i am so clueless as to what is happening in this game…  :lol:

so apparently you can run an entire turn and all the battles but then close tripleA before posting and everything gets erased and you can start your turn again?  how can that be possible?

It’s not possible if the dicey is working right.  Your opponent ought to receive the dice emails from your combats.  If your opponent is receiving emails for the same battle twice then something is obviously not right.

Just like Battlemap, if you value your time you should save the file often.

[questioneer]

bump - UK turn.  Did you get things worked out???

[boldfresh]

yeah i think so just really busy right now, will try to move soon

[boldfresh]

is there two french inf and a ftr in the united kingdom to start??

[boldfresh]

so there are 4 aa guns to start on the UK?  i assume when they are attacked by air, only one gets to shoot still right?  but i think i read they can be taken as casualties but have no defensive value after the opening fire?  please confirm these - i wish i had the time to read the rules right now but if you could just give me info that is relevant to the UK turn right now, would be appreciated.  you can have the win in this game if it is a league game, in return for giving me some lessons… :-)
