this stuff cannot possibly be this difficult
sadly it can be. People struggle all the time with the new computer thing. I know I do
-
yea I'm on linux so that's how it works for me. It used to show the "Game version" to but dan removed that. That's why i had to make a notification at Game Start saying which one it is now lol
Did you read the above link about macs ? I guess you can ask him if you can't get it to work. I can't help with that
-
@beelee I wonder if that "notification" is some popup that gets blocked? No that makes no sense... I just don't get it.
Anyway I have the same triplea engine so I think the issue is in the game number because all my new stuff does not see @trout 's files and complains that this stuff is from a newer game.
So where can I download older versions of the game/map not the engine?
-
@beelee ok thanks. I cannot make any sense of that tho
-
-
one other thing to try. Notifications could be disabled. You have to go to "Engine Preferences"
"Game"
See if Show First Time Prompts is True
-
-
@beelee ok well I will redo on that map tho I made no changes.
Also note that I cannot find any way to show a window like you did that shows "engine Preferences". could you tell me how you showed that window?
-
@beelee. OK I found how to do that on the Mac. very different but works and popups were allowed
-
this is how to get old versions of the "Game" https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4025/how-to-dl-old-map-versions-in-git
Start triplea and show me what you get when it first starts
-
yes mac and triplea don't play well together. Actually it's basically a windows world we all have to live in whether we like it or not
Perhaps you could do a self help for mac users post and put it unde rPlayer Help
Edit
as others will surely have the same problem and Idk what you did to make it work -
-
@beelee I would LOVE to help Mac users. The entire point of Mac, however, is to be easy to use. So I am not sure that I could say anything of value... hmmm. I will think about this.
-
yea i just mean for now what you did to resolve your recent problem.
I will test your save now. Screenshot looks good
Edit
hmm ... looks clearer than the windows and linux ones. The in games look good with them but posting shots with them not nearly as clearlooks like that ss fckr wanting to go into Switzerland too lol Good thing they got a Artillery piece pointed at him
Edit 2
Yea that fires for me. I'm sure it'll work for @Trout too -
@johnnycat Yes, I can open that one! Eggs fully scrambled in SZ 110. But only over easy in other SZ's. The boys in Wales and Scotland are too busy watching rugby to fly today.
-
lol posted at same time again ha ha ha
-
just a heads up but the upgraded Fctry should be placed 1st Placement Phase. No biggie here, as you don't have enough dudes to place to need it.
-
You two are cute - total Axis and Allies synergy posting at the identical time, lol...
OK Here is my first German turn knowing more than my last first German turn... is this a somewhat typical opening? I guess I have to play more German games to see what the opening should be. I'm tempted to ignore the UK and France and just plow to Moscow but I dunno.
And there are some special Capital Taking rules or just Moscow?
-
@beelee OMG - so that means that I could “use” it the turn I place it. Like that magic aircraft carrier right!
So some units are totally use and abuse and some are like, wait wait, gotta wait your turn…. I LOVE IT !!!
As I said I don’t care about makes sense or feels like should be or not… I just want to learn what IS and use that to victory, Moooooohahahaha

Not a bad startegy well except for the France part
However the Soviet Conscription usually slows the Wehrmacht down for a couple turns and the UK with Paras and LCVs, if not blocked, keep the Western Front active to a certain extent.My guess is that is done for Historical reasons mostly, although Dieppe did happen. But primarily to force the Reich to leave some Forces in the West.
Otherwise Conscripts or no, SSR would be fckd
Idk though, I usually get caught up playing with the U-boats and have never done a full on fck everything else attack on Moscow.
