Bids system still here?

BTW, how do I edit a post I did? I forgot to also say there was only 1 link in your post, to the game update, but not to the game you think I should try. Please post that.

Sadly TripleA 2.6 downloads are not working and you have to manually add the maps to your playable maps.

As a windows user I dont know where the default install for Mac maps is.

Windows maps are here;
C:\Users\PC-USERNAME\triplea\downloadedMaps

I just checked on GitHub your post did not make it there.

For another day just logging on to GitHub directly using
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues
But you dont need to as you will get more help here on the TripleA forums.

@thedog I got it to load and it says I'm running 2.5.22294.

I finally got to a place to add maps and I chose the Classic, but now I have 2 of them each. How do I get rid of the duplicates?

Also, I like to play the original version where Russia gets to move first. I didn't see that in the Classic package or anywhere else. How do I dl that?

Also, what is the name of the map you suggest I try? (And will it run on my version?)

Finally, is there a way to edit a post in case I want to add to it or find a typo?

[TheDog]

TripleA 2.5.22294 is the current version most players use.
TripleA 2.6.xxxxx is the new pre-release.

They both share the same maps folder.

To remove duplicate maps, its a manual process go to the maps folder and delete the map you dont want.

I cant help with the map your after, I dont play A&A board games or for that matter TripleA equivalents.

To play my map you need 2.6 as only 2.6 has the new 'isAI'.

I will post later re editing on GitHub

@thedog I uninstalled my old version and now I have 2.6.14611 and that got rid of the duplicates.

What is the name of the map you suggest I play?

@stu_the_k Hi stu

To edit a post here, click on the 3 dots to the bottom right of your post

@stu_the_k
Both places hold the same map version.

The Google Drive is easier, it will download to your browser downloads folder.

I finally got it all downloaded and running. It seems massive, but extremely impressive. I only glanced at it but I love the idea of blockades and different factory types.

I grew up in Detroit in the ‘50’s-‘60’s but went to school in Miami in ‘73 and have lived in Florida ever since, so I was also busy getting an early Xmas present from the Lions and the Fins. :-). But, I’ll definitely check it out. I’ll probably play the mini-map first to knock some of the rust off as I haven’t played in years, and that was with the original Triple A game. So I’ve never even played with artillery or destroyers, etc. So this vastly more complex version will take a while for this old dog to learn some new tricks.
