@djensen Thank you for all what you are doing for us. :+1:

Myself, I have spent an unusual amount of time on the forum and in front of my PCs before, during and after the migration, in order to identify problems, deal with feedback, provide information, give support, suggesting my ideas as regards content and organization, sorting threads, cleaning-up topics… just to name some activities. (Thank you to my family for their understanding :hearts: )

Now, I don’t even do this as a business, I do it just for fun. As Dave with this site gives me the chance to ideally combine my hobbies: I love strategic boardgames, I am an IT-interested autodidact, I love to moderate discussions and deal with change management. Doing all of this and the feedback I sometimes get from the community is “salary” enough.

Instead, I will be happy to donate another 50 USD for my next 2019 Gold patronage in some weeks.

I don’t expect that everyone takes the same fun out of this site as I do. And I am aware that only a fraction of users even reads the topics in this category including this thread. But in case you read it, and in case you take some fun out of this website and have not donated so far - please consider doing it now!

UHD World War II Global map in Triple A
Look under the experimental tab.
I think you need 2.5.22294 to see it, can’t use a .6

To run it under TripleA 2.6.x do as follows:

Go to
https://github.com/triplea-maps/uhd_world_war_ii_global

Klick on the green “code” button:

Now - in the window that just opened - click “Download ZIP” to download the zip-container of that map.

Move the downloaded zip-file to the “downloadedMaps” directory of your TripleA installation.

After that start TripleA. The zip-file will be extracted and the map will be available from the “Select Game” dialogue.

Enjoy!

Currently this community when using TripleA suffers from some serious problems described and discussed here and - more important - on the triplea-game .org forum.

Everybody feel free to add your concerns to the above mentioned topics. You don’t reach the developer(s) here but over there.

Concerning the Play-By-Forum issue:

For quite some time now the issue is that TripleA has been incompatible with the current forum software (NodeBB). The issue will not be resolved until the forum software and the TripleA software will be ‘harmonized’. Unfortunately I do not know whenever this will happen.

As a workaround you will need to manually send the game history and load up manually created savegames to the forum. You can use ‘Play by Email’ instead of ‘Play by Forum’ to start the game and use the dice server. You don’t need to configure the email settings in the ‘Play by EMail’ form.

Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and a big Thank You to all of you, who make this forum a great place to be!

What does the New version brings?

I hope they publish a “What’s New?” or add the Release Notes anytime soon.

However, there have been hundreds if not thousands of updates in four years since 2.5. TripleA software development is a continuous process.
If you are deeper interested you might want to check out the notes of all the pull requests that resulted in (pre-) releases on Github in the meantime until they publish something more:

@ussgordoncaptain

By the rulebook (Europe 1940 2ed, page 10):
“Friendly neutrals … … They can be moved into (but
not through) as a noncombat move by land units of a
power that is at war (see “Noncombat Move,” page 22).
This moves the territory out of its neutral status at the
end of the Noncombat Move phase”.

So the answer is “No”.

You’d need to move the mech infantry and the regular infantry at the same time.
The mech infantry can’t “move through”.

@captain-walker
If users upvote your posting by klicking the heart symbol

this adds to your “reputation”.

Additionally there appears to be a “reward system” that adds for example 200 “points” once your post count exceeds 20,000, regardless of what you have posted (including for example TripleA turn postings).

So “reputation” is the sum of all upvotes (maybe subjective quality, maybe a simple confirmation of taking notice) and quantity (mass posting reward), which - benevolently - might be interpreted as reward for long time membership.

@Sovietishcat

Most likely no TripleA developer will ever look into our TripleA support category. This is why I recommended to you to hit the “Report to TripleA” button in that topic. This produces an issue at Github, the place where the developers look and maintain the software (provided someone is active).

The support category here is more or less run by me - where I try to provide user support and help with issues on the user’s side - but I am not a developer or coder.

@gamerman01 @MrRoboto

I am ready to assist with administrative (forum related) tasks. Let me know.

@djensen

I am glad you bring this topic back. In the past I have started similar initiatives, that resulted in topics like this one:

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/29905/triplea-list-of-relevant-links
or
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/29899/a-tribute-to-abattlemap

Or - in cooperation with @The-Captain - this ‘collecting’ topic had been created:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37535/the-captain-s-global-1940-house-rules-collection

I would suggest a maximum of “3 stickied topics”.

Just give me your “go” and I will start working on further “condensing” the stickied topics in a similar way.

@Elrood

That is what I experience, too.

@JohnnyCat said in Hand Painted Free Units for all players:

@The-Captain this is truly AMAZING. Thank You

I’d like to start a group of axis and allies players in the San Francisco Bay Area where I live. Do you know of anyone that can help me get that started ?

Use this forum category to find players in your region:

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Please take a look, thank you!

@trompi

The image shows the cover of the first edition, issued in 2010.

Maybe these two articles are helpful for you …:
https://www.axisandallies.org/p/pacific-1940-and-europe-1940-second-edition-announced/
https://www.axisandallies.org/p/whats-new-in-axis-allies-pacific-1940-and-europe-1940-second-editions/
… additionally you can search for forum topics covering the details (might be hard to find, though).

If the differences don’t bother you you can use the board together with Pacific 1940 2nd. ed.

@Bismark-Gambit Welcome to the forum!

The House Rules category is the best subforum to discuss House Rules. Enjoy!

@Challenger-080

Welcome to the forum. The category “Player Locator” - where I have moved your topic to - might be helpful.

@FranceNeedsMorePower
When looking for online players please use the correct forum category:

Moved there.

@Spud said in Combined bombardment in AAR:

Does anyone know if the destroyers need to be accompanied by a battleship in order to use combined bombardment?

No. There’s nothing in the rules indicating that.

@Warsaw44

@Warsaw44 said in G40 - Bombing A Naval Base:

… does it count as a movement to enter the territory the base is on …

Yes.

@Warsaw44 said in G40 - Bombing A Naval Base:

… or is the naval base considered part of that seazone therefore saving a movement?

No. The rulebook leaves no room for such an interpretation.
See Europe 1940.2, page 27:

“Naval bases can be built on controlled territories with a coastline, including islands. Only one facility of each type (industrial complex, air base, and naval base) may exist in each territory.”

and page 28:

“All sea zones that border a territory containing an operative naval base …”
