I also noticed that when I removed GCD, it did not appear in the "New Map". I had to close the download maps screen and reopen it for GCD to appear. Be aware that both the "Remove" process and the "Install" to quite a few minutes to complete. So be patient.
Cheers...

So I'm not on mac, but the main reason why someone would want to run 2.5 is just cause it's listed as the last stable, so like for multiplayer in play by forum games or the lobby and such if they want to game with people who are still using 2.5
2.6 the latest is pre-release, so more like for make makers or players who want to test the latest features. Thing is it's been a while since the last update to stable, but the pre-release has a number of the new features that the map was designed to make use of, or some new stuff added into the more recent 2.6 builds.
So anyway I think answer to Q1 would be yeah better in 2.6
q2. when you download the pre-release for 2.6 for your OS, this won't automatically replace/update the maps in your downloads folder which exist (at least on my OS) in a local downloaded maps folder. So basically when you install 2.6 just go to your downloaded maps folder and remove whatever was there before. The GCD folder. This will allow you to click the "download maps" button when you launch TripleA and grab the map.
There are no maps that are actually bundled with tripleA, other than the tutorial map. So basically you might need to remove a map, and grab it again if switching from 2.5 to 2.6, just cause the structure is a little different in how maps are set up to work with 2.6.
I had a similar issue a little while back trying to figure it out, also with the slight lag. Probably just cause it's a very large map, like bigger file size and such maybe? It's always a little trickier than one would hope hehe. TheDog or someone might be able to walk ya through it, and then the same stuff should work for any other new maps that might come out if you need to re-grab whatever for your local collection.

@black_elk great explanation. Thank you !!!

@ezgaming
Hopefully you got it working and managed a few games? -
@thedog sure did. Thanks. It’s a great game for sure. Ofc, like most ww2 games, it’s balanced over how long it takes for Germany to lose… but that is standard and we all know that the axis cannot out produce the allies
I like the “railroad” thing. Where you set it up for troops to move 3 from a factory terrain. Very nice that.
There’s much more to explore so I’m happy to have it working now.
Cheers

@ezgaming and others
Im planning on doing a 6 month update, so any suggestions?Currently Italy
- On the eastern front has more units at the expense of Germany.

Minor changes to faction panels at startup.
