Let us know what you’re having trouble with on the triplea install on the triplea thread https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/28/triplea-support
I will try and help. If we can’t figure it out, I’m sure Panther can :)
VANN's, and YG's 8D system.

Is there a superior 8D system out there??? No there’s not.
All 8D systems are created equal, even though they are slightly different. It’s just like people.
The 8D systems are made to improve the game.
VANN’s 8D system.

I agree, nobody should claim that something is superior to something else when it’s so subjective. However, do I at least get credit for being first? I’ve been thinking about using 8 sided dice to expand attack and defence values for more than two years while everyone else kept thinking about 12 sides.

YG you get the credit of being the first for creating the 8D system for Axis and Allies. :-) :-) :-)

I’d argue that Frank Xeno’s (boardgamegeek.com/boardgamepublisher/725/xeno-games) Europe at War (published in 1993) (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/7651/europe-war) should get the credit for creation the d8 attack/defense system. We can call YG’s work an independent re-discovery if you like… :-P
Having put myself out there like this, I’m sure somebody’s gonna come back with an earlier example… :-D

YG wanted to solve some balance issues, not just toying with 8 dices.
At least, he might get credits with tweaking subtly with balance without radical change.
