      I have not seen substantive changes in AI play whether the Fast AI or the Hard AI is employed.

      Shame 😞

      All 4 Lend-Lease-Depots are active from turn 1. The USA gives 20pu per turn to USSR whilst Vladivostok is USSR, this is automatic.

      Other changes you could make are (line 6764)
      <option name="placement" value="Archangelsk:Armor-Med"/>
      remove 8pu, change it 9pu

      and (line 6790)
      <option name="placement" value="Baku-Azerbaijan:Armor-Med"/>

      ALthough the 2 Armour-Med is minor it forces resources nearer the west and not the east.

        .
        v235

        • All 2HP, Armor-Inf, Armor-Hvy Battleship, Carrier, Carrier-Fleet all cost 2pu for Upkeep/turn, was 1pu (Forgot to do this 🙄 )
        • New Infrastructure called Factory add 3pu/turn/Factory can stack upto 2 per TT with Industry-Med or Industry-Hvy
          This is to simulate increases in production as the war progressed, as they cost 9pu, that gives ROI after 3 turns. (Can you afford the opportunity Cost?)

              Someone has recently posted a problem on GitHub, its anonymous, with an old version of TripleA.
              Only newer versions will be fixed as the the Devs will say upgrade and test again.

              As a minimum Players should upgrade to;

              Last version that centers on the active player's capital
              https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15025

              Technology tab split from players tab on to its own tab. (Really good for 1888a as it has a lot of Tech)

                This TripleA ENGINE VERSION is always getting me into trouble.

                I have been immersed in G40 EXP with boxes The Captain's Expansion so I can play in their upcoming Fall Denmark tourney...

                But I tried your game again, the 1941 GCD, because I recall having a nice time with it a year ago - and yea, I had tons of werid behavior but not sure if I reported anything.

                Screenshot 2026-04-06 at 9.46.55 AM.png

                So @beelee and @trout and others all tell me to get the latest version and I keep thinking I have that. But now my number 2.7.14962 is different from your 2.715025....2.715256.

                How often do these things change?

                HOW DO WE KNOW what is the latest version?

                THIS IS VERY CONFUSING.

                Is there a way to get us all to EASILY SEE what is what?

                SUGGESTION: Could we get the TripleA launch screen (my uploaded image) to check some standard site location for the latest version and then advise the player IN BIG RED LETTERS: something like, "Please upgrade to very 2.89xxx at URL://blah blah"

                  I just installed the newest TripleA_2.7+15256_macos.dmg

                  And started your game - and my compliments on the many improvements !!!

                  But here is the problem that I kept getting. A few days ago each German turn would present a couple dozen of these windows. Today only got one but only just started a new game.

                  Screenshot 2026-04-06 at 9.57.08 AM.png

                  Is this NORMAL? Is this some tech thing?

                    I was going to suggest upgrading to that version 2.7.15256

                    That is the version I am currently using.

                    As 2.7 is a pre-release it is up to the player themselves to choose what version they use.

                    But to help you decide, go here, as I will suggest a few versions that I view as decent and worth the effort to upgrade to.

                      That is not an error, it is a notification, to turn it off, do this in game.

                      To reduced failure notices Game> User Notification> Show Trigger/condition Chance Roll Failure (UnTick)
