2.2 bugs, forum autosaves and sub rules issues.

@dawgoneit said in 2.6 is not letting me access my games:

@Panther mike64 helped me out. working fine now

That’s fine. Enjoy gaming!

This issue has been likely resolved. Please use a current pre-release version.

@trent15 good day. That is how it works . For big battles , it is best to ask your opponent his choice of casualties, however . Although, You could establish a few basic rules, before you start playing and it is always politeness to ask whether your opponent wants to scramble.
Enjoy your games.

@Ichabod So I can identify two different issues. First of all, your PBF username is not your email-address that you have entered but simply “Ichabod”. Enter Ichabod as Login and the forum password into the settings.

Second your TripleA still uses an outdated Java to be found in
c\program files\i4j_jres\1.8.0_66

That is an incompatible Java version that TripleA came with years ago that is still used despite you might have installed the latest Java, too.
So you need to manually delete this i4j_jres folder including its subfolders.

So once you have deleted this, you should try again, using the forum username and forum password.
In case it still does not work, please reinstall the latest Java 8 to be sure TripleA uses this new version.

After all these actions you should be fine using the dice server and posting your turns with TripleA 1.9.0.0.13066 on the new forum.

Good luck :slightly_smiling_face:

… and ask back in case you need further assistance.

@Odonis No problem.  I opened https://github.com/triplea-game/dice-server/issues/33 to update the misleading error message.  Hopefully that will get fixed soon.

Just to bring it to attention:

In AA50 - when using Heavy Bombers for SBR - TripleA adds +1 to the best result of the two rolls, when it should only be
“You roll two dice for each bomber and select the best result when you attack or make a strategic bombing raid.”

I will try to report that on tripleadev, too.

(In Global 1940 this extra +1 is not added, although in both games “LHTR Heavy Bombers” is marked in the Game Options.)

V,

Please dont take those “f–- off’s” by some as a voice from AAWC. The War Zone serve used by those playing in AAWC on the Hasbro CD is not owned by AAWC. The War Zone server is owned and controlled by a privet party (i believe someone from the Risk Lobby).

We can not control who comes into the War Zone, only those allowed to be members of the AAWC club. There are several players in the War Zone who are not active members of AAWC.

I will post my comments on the thread you posted, thank you for all you do.

Sincerely,

@Gargantua:

TripleA is cheat-proof

That’s not entirely accurate.  There is a scenario I can think of in which some shady circumstances can occur - in a particular scenario.

It’s safer to say - Axis and Allies is cheat proof, as long as your dice are done through a server - and you pay attention to the actual game mechanics.

Well I’m mostly comparing it to Battlemap, where it would be easy to add units here or there.  If extra units are discovered, there’s no way to tell if it’s cheating or an unintended mistake.

In my experience, it’s the unintentional mistakes that most often mar Battlemap games.  Consequently, many players spend alot of time checking maps and moves for accuracy.

With TripleA the above scenarios don’t happen, because you’d have to use edit to add in units that shouldn’t be there.  And any edit is clearly visible in the game history.
