@BillCurtis Hi Bill Welcome to the site ! Yea I don't think prastle lists all the donors anymore, as he is basically retired from triplea. I think he still holds the purse and pays the bills though. Let us know in "Player Help" if you have any questions.

@Schulz Been a while. If you want to use this threads map you are welcome to use it. It is used in 1941 Global Command Decision, but be aware it has nearly 800 locations so is probably best for solo play.

@Ted-Self Check out https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Axis_%26_Allies_Wikipedia for a list of every mod (except a rew recent mods). For ahistorical mods see https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Hypothetical (although that includes a lot of maps I thought looked interesting) and https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Fictional

@GREGOREK yea I've mentioned that as well. Not sure where it's at but I think Dan said they're gonna go with a new one. Blue something. Returns it back to the previous size roughly. Still wish one could customize, as my eyes are gonna just keep getting worse Edit Here it is https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4306/switch-to-flatlaf-for-look-feel-updated-skin

I like maps that are aesthetically pleasing to look at. Map rotations, curves, extreme squeezings/stretches, and abnormally big Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, or Africa are just not good. Standard maps aren't suitable either because they make Europe too small. It’s better to use an equirectangular projection, get rid of all the unpleasant stuff I listed, and subtly shrink non-European territories.[image: 1782041112853-wwi_more-territories-resized.png]

@Kindwind Any further progress on this. I would like to see a report of an actual game. Even seeing the first turn would be enough to see whether you are getting somewhere. Note that OOB Axis & Allies 1942 (2nd edition) strongly favors the Axis. It would be better to use the Larry Harris alternate setup.

I noticed on GitHub there has a few problems with the latest 2026 version. I am still on, its good for solo play. https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2026.06.16.15624 and it is performing very well and is still java 25, consider rewinding to this version. .

Up Anyone ?

@wc_sumpton @beelee @cernel @thedog As of 2.7.15606, capital centering should work again. Please retest if you can find the time.

@lafayette My changes for the following are still not refected; Uploaded a much smaller preview.png to 1888A_steam_and_steel, 2MB to 721KB, it is still not listed. shogun_advanced renamed Preview.png to preview.png where no image was shown before, hopefully that displays the image as expected. Please check and advise.

@Roybot https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases This should be on the downloads page, not hidden in the forum
