barnee Axis vs VictoryFirst Allies G 40 Expansion

@barnee

Nice to see you already set the game up. I’m fine with playing by forum too!

One thing that is hindering us to continue the game: I get an error when I try to load your .tsvg file. I’ve had this error before and it means that you run TripleA on a different version. Mine is 2.5.22294. If you run on this same version as well, then things are weird!

I received your message about how you think things should go. I’m used to a less strict set of rules. What I always do is just post the game file to the thread, and if I need to ask OOL in complicated battles or scramble options, I ask my opponent what he desires to do in the thread (possible attaching a save file of the situation). Things like buys, combat and non-combat moves can be found in the save file itself, under ‘History’.
I think that is handier in terms of file management. But if you want to play with those rules because you’re used to them, that’s fine with me!

Btw, you also have this nice button called ‘Post Turn Summary’, which directly posts all the things you did during the turn, including a save file. We can play with that as well, if you like.

Regarding file naming, I think this is the best option: ‘G40 Expansion G1’, for the first german turn. So letterofcountry+turn.

And yeah, there is indeed a weird issue that when you create a PBF thread, you can’t edit your posts!

I wanted to add that when we don’t play on the same version, we can’t load each others save files (well, at least I can’t), so we need to get that fixed first.

@barnee

Uhm, what? So you can play this without triplea as well? How?

That we need to roll some battles manually is fine with me. There is this die roller website I use in a game with another person which works really well. I forgot the name of it unfortunately but I’ll let you know shortly. You chose how many dice you want to roll, and then it sends an email with the result.

The save file now works fine! No scrambles!

@barnee

Oh yeah, I probably should have been a bit more clear. I’ve never played via email on a physical board, so it didn’t even come up in my mind! I am currently playing a solo game on my physical board, so I wouldn’t like to cancel that game anyway

By the way, instead of the die roller website which is this one: https://www.pbegames.com/roller/
we can also use TripleA’s manual die roller, under the Game tab (I didn’t know of its existence until like one minute ago lol, somebody just told me about it!).

@barnee

So I understand we don’t have dice e-mails? I’m fine with that, although I’ve never played with it. I like to do a playtest of my turn first, so I don’t know when you should start doing your turn for real.

@barnee

Lol I just tried to convert our game to a forum game but I got a weird error. It says user ‘VictoryFirst’ doesn’t exist xD. I don’t exist? Well, I know one thing and that is that I do exist, so I will dive deeper and try to fix the error

Ok the issue was that I accidentally chose the triplea forum instead of the axis and allies one, but now I get this message

class java.lang.Boolean cannot be cast to class java.lang.Integer (java.lang.Boolean and java.lang.Integer are in module java.base of loader ‘bootstrap’) java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.Boolean cannot be cast to class java.lang.Integer (java.lang.Boolean and java.lang.Integer are in module java.base of loader ‘bootstrap’)

This is annoying…

@barnee

Ok, we can use local game files for now until the issue is fixed. I guess you have this same issue too?

@barnee

I got a reply and it turns out that forum doesn’t work properly anymore. WHat you have to do is to PBEM, but post the results into the forum (by clicking on View Turn Summary and posting the contents into the thread).

I’ve converted my R1 to PBEM, so you can just click on PBEM and do your turn, and then you can do the things I described, if you are ok with it.

Thanks! I didn’t realize there was a difference!

So when you click on Play By Email in the TripleA main menu and you select as save file our game, you’ll get to this screen at the end of the turn.

1. Save the file
2. Click on ‘View Turn Summary’ (I highlighted it on the screen to the right.
3. Copy all the contents of the new window showing up using Ctrl+A.
4. Then you go to our forum, press Ctrl+V and a summary of your turn will show up. Then you attach the save file.

This is how Play By Forum nowadays works.

@victoryfirst

Edit:

3. Copy all the contents of the new window showing up using Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+C

Forgot to add that…
