Love the TripleA program.

Nice game … nato is a great player, we have battled many times.  :mrgreen:

I hope so… Did you see how bad his Ger 1 was?  The dice killed him… Now if I only knew what to do… lol Thanks again Barney!

In fact it was only one border line to change. First I changed it in the bastile map, adding a new line some pixels to the right of the old line in pure black and then erazing the old line. Then I reconstructed the relief-art. In paint.net I added a new layer to the base map pasting the relief art to it. Then I copy-pasted the new border line to the relief art. From the relief art I removed the old border line using the clone-stamp. Then I ran through the Map Builder tools such as polygon grabber etc. to implement the changes to the relevant txt-files. Just take a look at the files to see the results.

Have a writing talent that you would like to put to work? Or would like to contribute to TripleA but don’t know how? We are drafting an idea for a TripleA blog. As the website admin, I am responsible for lining up some authors. I know that A&A.org has a great blog, and we thought that launching a blog devoted to TripleA would nicely cap the successful development of the new TripleA website, which will be official as of version 1.8.0.10. Potential topics for post may include: Strategy for any of the TripleA maps, including WWII Map design tips and tricks Challenges and Tournaments Showcasing a “Game of the Month” Announcements Most other TripleA related content (I am the editor, so I will moderate.) Please post below if you would like to commit to writing a few articles a month, or even commit to contribution, in any form. We are looking for contributors, and are looking for anyone who would like to volunteer. If we get enough volunteers, the plan will go though. Please feel free to ask any questions below.

The consensus is that we’re wrong. I’m not whining about the dice. It works both ways. I remember rolling like 18 tanks @3 by hand (Germany stack just inside Russia) and getting like 3 or 4 hits in a table top game 1st roll (don’t remember the exact amount but it was pathetically below average). My stack was defending. I messed up where I placed it. It was against a guy with a screen name of Jonathan Rost (playing the Global 1942 setup). I lost that game due partly due to that ridiculous outcome (probably would have lost it anyways, Jonathan is really good). Anyways, I understand that outliers occur. HOWEVER, they occur way too often it seems in triplea. However, I’m often I’m a benefactor. So, it’s good to keep in mind that outlier outcomes, like 4 infantry rolling 4 defense hits 1st round while a stack of planes throws a miss, does happen; but it happens for both sides. I do believe that AAA hit more than 1/6 overall against bombing runs. https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=41002.msg1717622#msg1717622

@Veqryn: game id is only used for tourney games, to identify the game. you’d have to ask someone who has done it before, on the TripleAWarClub I found out that the game-ID is used to distinguish between different games on the dice server. So every mail that returns from the server has the game-id at the beginning of the “Subject”.

@Veqryn: i guess we should leave it with solution 1. most players will not be aware of the need to use edit mode to delete units, even if I post a giant news item somewhere Yes, I agree. It would be difficult to bring this to everyone’s attention. @Veqryn: ps: triplea 1.5.1 is out Great, I will test it this evening. Thank you

@all - We are looking to release 1.8.0.9 shortly due to the naval retreat bug that was found and fixed. I’ve uploaded the pre-release equivalent of that and would appreciate some assistance testing various maps, game types, etc to make sure there aren’t any issues. Pre-release install instructions here: http://tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com/AI-Development-Discussion-tp7585227.html Here is the change log: Bug fix, retreat from naval combat was not possible, now fixed Increase scroll speed when using arrow keys. Holding down control speeds up arrow key scroll Map edge scroll zone now larger, placing map next to the very edge of the map increases scroll speed even more AI: Fixed calculating defenses on maps with air/naval bases to properly calculate enemy range AI: Fixed bug around not defending against enemy units that were transported the previous turn (they were being marked as already transported when potential enemy attacks were calculated)
