@crockett36 Just getting on. Hockey game was actually worth watching tonight. I will go through an OOL an explain the CV thing again. I can't remember if you attacked yet or not but yea, so CVs on the attack when a BB is present, you have to take one CV hit before one BB hit. You can alternate as long as you have the units to do so or ignore the BBs or ignore the BBs and CVs and take something else as a hit. You just can't take a BB hit before a CV hit. My guess is this is so a BB heavy Fleet can't soak all the hits in battle and to supply some realism, as the CVs would be prime Enemy targets. Edit OOL CV BB Sink CV BB Hvy BB Hvy BB Tac Tac Ftr Ftr FTr Sink BB Sink BB Escrt ( can kill him earlier if your Subs are gone ) Sink Hvy BB I'll remind you again, as it's been a few days and still only your second game :), Attacking Naval Ftrs can't land in USSR, even though they have the range. A normal Ftr would be able to. I had to look it up but it is Player Enforced for the Naval Ftr movement. Hey, in case you haven't seen, Dan been doing some major updates. We're real close to be able to play on the 2.7 lobby. You actually can now with the latest prerelease but save games aren't working yet Or maybe he fixed it tonight. I haven't checked yet

@Panzerstahl-Helm-0 Yea no worries on the CV. I saw it but you obviously didn't need it to win the battle, so BB hit fine. I haven't looked yet, but if you need to adjust 109 that's obviously fine with me. I know you play the way I do, where if you forget something, it's part of the game but if you do it in your test turn and then forget it, should be allowed.

@Trout said: Just because Triple A has had a few hiccups with the upgraded interface so would like that to work itself out for another week or two at least that's cool to roll with 2.55 but just want to point out 2.56 update is completely different from the triplea nodeBB update. There is no impact on 2.56

@Trout yea you can actually use the little LL tokens if you want. Or just state as you did. Not a biggie either way. As long as they don't take part in combat the same turn they're good to go.

Old Marti used PHPs variation of Mersenne Twister. Decent random numbers but the starting seed can be derived with a sufficiently series of values (doesn't really need that many). The new dice server uses Node's built-in crypto.randomBytes; also provides good randomness, but is cryptographically secure (values cannot be guessed based on a few examples)

@JohnnyCat sorry for the delay. ill get to it soon.

@Alexander ok. enjoy your vacation.

@ All I think I just figured out how not to overbuy the Waffen Units that change. Early stages yet but seems as if it'll work. Here is an example. One is only allowed 6 Waffen Inf and 4 Oberst. The Oberst consumes the Inf, so I had to make a maxBuilt of 10 to allow for the 4 Oberst. This made it to where one could unintentionally overbuy the ss Inf. You have to scan the map and count them manually. Easy to make a mistake. What I have done, is to limit Waffen Inf to a max purchase of 6 and add a new unit "waffen_infantry4" which has a max purchase of 4. It behaves the same as a Waffen Inf except an Oberst can not consume it. Here is what happens. There is 1 Waffen Inf in Germany, if you try to buy 6, triplea won't let you. Can only buy 5. So we buy 5 Waffen Inf 1 Oberst and 1 Waffen Inf4. [image: 1778503133911-screenshot-from-2026-05-11-07-24-02.png] place them in Germany Edit Note the Waffen4 consumes a regular Inf same as a Waffen Inf [image: 1778503187761-screenshot-from-2026-05-11-07-39-34.png] then after Place phase, Waffen Inf4 turns into a regular Waffen Inf. [image: 1778503266486-screenshot-from-2026-05-11-07-40-51.png] Anyway, I think this should work. I still have to allow for multiple Oberst and Waffen4's but that shouldn't be a problem. I've thought that before though lol Edit Yea looks as if it's gonna be a success story I'll work my way through the rest of these ss bastards and then start on the Atomic Bomb

@lafayette Idk if this is known already but I fired up lobby using 15557 and UHD G 40 Boxes showed up for the first time It did however throw this error but not crash it. Bottom Bar [image: 1778402045184-screenshot-from-2026-05-10-03-27-48.png] I will see if it plays. Edit Yes it seems to play fine so far and a manual save worked. I think I saw somewhere the auto save thingy was mentioned already but not certain ... anyway Well Done Edit 2 Yea game seems to work fine in lobby. I heard a sound like someone posting a few times but it didn't show any new dialogue. [image: 1778402964235-screenshot-from-2026-05-10-03-46-37.png] Edit 3 I tried to load the save but said it didn't have the game. Tried a couple different bots. Same result. [image: 1778403530722-screenshot-from-2026-05-10-03-58-39.png] Well it sounds as if you might already be aware of this, so I'll hold off with anymore feedback for now.

@LaFayette said: i'm able to repro the black test I'm sure you're already aware of this but just in case as soon as I click on anything after it goes black, even an empty space, the black goes away. Idk how to communicate that to people. I guess they'll probably just figure it out on their own. It'd be nice if it didn't happen at all but most likely lower on the priority todo list.

@beelee said: Those Tommy Paras were Badass lol They did an outstanding job indeed! And they died for a better reason.

@rogercooper The newer TripleA versions have a lot of syntax checking, so I would upgrade to the latest version and let it do its stuff. It has found at least two errors in my maps.

@rogercooper There are some of Joe's here https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4048/tank-destroyer-images?_=1778310491975 Edit Here's a few colorized [image: 1778314022313-tankdestroyerfs.png] [image: 1778314034023-usatankdestroyerfs.png] [image: 1778314049220-panzerjagerfs.png]

@Panzerstahl-Helm-0 Thanks mate! But I am starting to power down after packing all evening. I'll roll the dice when I'm back in a couple of weeks, enjoy the "temporary peace" lol Yes, I have been traumatized by Italy 'can-opening' in the OOB rules - now this takeover situation is even more crazy to watch out for! Will do, thanks again. I look forward to it!

@beelee said: The old one still be available for those that like it I assume ? Probably not. This is a completely different library. Substance has served us well, but has bugs, and our current version is really old and difficult to upgrade. I'm leaning somewhat strongly to go with this new L&F library. Namely because the upgrade path is already done, with Substance (our old L&F), we'd have to do some work/efforts to upgrade.

@TheDog said: With 300+ maps and a solution that requires no xml changes to work, could be using a pre Move Delegate centering, maybe? Ahh, now I understand your question. Before I answer let's look at what is being asked. Using "World War II Global 1940 2nd Edition" with the default settings, technology is 'off' in 2.5.22294 the map does not center, which is the same as 2.7.15494. So, what we have now is the same as how TripleA has always function. Adding centering to the MovePhase would cause TripleA to reorientate during the players turn, which could be very confusing. If the centering which is in 2.7.15025 cannot be duplicated, then IMO, centering should be left to map makers as an XML hack, and not added to a 'phase'. Cheers...

@Zealossus Good luck with the mod.

@ubernaut Finished Germany. triplea_3915_11ger.tsvg Russia is up.
