5 aircraft down is going to cause a recalibration.  on a positive not, i don’t have to hear anyone complain about my “better luck” for awhile.

[gamerman01]

Holy cow.  And to think I thought about sending my ANZ bomber there

[boldfresh]

probably would have held it and taken down the entire luftwaffe.  :-o  :wink:

[boldfresh]

i was prepared to lose 2 or 3 aircraft so it was really ONLY 2 additional aircraft…  LOL

[boldfresh]

The episode reminds me of a movie called “Lightning in a Bottle”.

[boldfresh]

for whatever reason the file ballooned by about 200kb on your russian turn!  seriously, this is ridiculous - looks like we will be rebuilding this map every 7 or 8 rounds!  Would sure be nice to get some help from Veq on the issue.

[gamerman01]

I noticed the same thing and had the same thoughts!

What did you think of Veqryn’s response?  He didn’t seem surprised.

[gamerman01]

I’m going to have him take a look at this.  It doubled on the Russian turn.  It’s always growing a lot on the Russian turn, for no apparent reason

[boldfresh]

this match is really getting good now. gonna be a barn burner due to events of the last 2 rounds.

[gamerman01]

To any who are concerned:

No barns were burned in the making of this game.
No animal experiments either

[Veqryn]

the file size does seem a bit big for round 2 china

what version of triplea are you both using?

are you using a pre-release version by chance?

what version of java are each of you using?

anything else i should know about?

i need as much info as possible, troubleshooting stuff that does throw giant messages up is rather difficult…

[Veqryn]

and further on that point, i would like each of you to go play a pbem game against yourself (just to see who has the problem if any), and just play it out several rounds, making sure to save, quit, start, load, play, with each turn, etc.
then let me know the file size at the start of round 3.

[boldfresh]

we are not really in round 2 - we rebuilt the map from scratch after G9.
