Here's a link to the dice roller if you're not already registered https://dice.marti.triplea-game.org/
Also starting with triplea+15028 the battle calc doesn't work. It is fixed in 15032. I am on 14962 fwiw 🙂
Latest Game Version is 2.41.
Edit
I suggest you be Allies for your first game as Germany has the most special units and is the hardest to learn. I find it handy to have a window with the rulebook https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jI_1JdIC-1KiTihBICJAbtX3GpVYnNgf/view?pli=1
that I can click to at anytime for clarification. Actually I have two with one on table of contents, the other to scroll to where I want to go.
The "Game Notes" are under the "Help Tab". It will explain in detail how EXP works in triplea.
Let me know when you're ready to roll and I'll start us off.
