yea it took me 2-3 turns to get used to some of them at first as well too Now I can't play with the old ones

Cool map, not sure im a huge fan of the units. they look nice individually but im struggling to tell what they are zoomed out...

yea I struggled on my own over the years. Figured it out a couple times only to forget it as I rarely played on forum and was gone from the internet for long stretches of time.

Victory finally clued me in

Yea so for a scramble, we take a screenshot of the battle and make a save at that point so your opponent can see your entire move as that may affect their response.

Then you have to wait. You can also play live on the 2.5 lobby. It'll be changing soon to 2.7 but it's not quite ready yet

Edit
You should check out BlackElk's Global 40 map. Same game, just different looking units and map.

Under experimental in 2.5 or alphabeyical in the prerelease

"UHD World War II Global"

Think I've got it!
Thank you!! Definitely would not have figured this out without you!

So when your done with your turn you just have to leave it there, and the next player just picks it up?
And if a decision has to be made by your opponent during your turn you just pause and ask essentially (scramble, defend factory raid or whatever)?

Yea I do it a little different than pbf

Make sure both emails are registered, as you discovered gmail doesn't work or I don't think it does. Anyway it should send you a verification saying you're registered with Marti

I use PBEM so click on that
then I put my opponents email first, I doubt it matters,
then my email

Then a Game description, think it's optional but I do it anyway.

The Register button takes you to Marti Dice Roller

Hit Test Server

Then you should be ready to go

Edit
ignore the email provider thing and unless some player is AI, ignore it too.

Edit 2
Once you get it to fire, do your turn and when it's done hit Turn Summary

and then ctrla ctrlc

make a save ctrls

and then post to your Game thread. Will look like this

White wall is Summary and green link is save.

Opponent downloads link and puts it in his "savedGames" folder which is inside your "triplea Folder"

then start triplea
select saved game
then pbem

and fire it up.

Most people will use "Start Local Game" to do a test turn and when they're happy with it will do the real turn in pbem then.

Fwiw we post are games on PBF even though it's pbem. It doesn't matter though as pbem and pbf are interchangeable. You just have to use Victory's directions for PBF

Edit 3
Also, it'll say "Dice Server On" bottom right when you're in pbem. It won't say that when in local mode.

It takes a couple trys but you should pick it up quick Ask if you get stuck.

Hi Beelee,

Do you mean is should start a play be email game, and then post the turn summaries into the forum, and then my opponent copies that into his game somehow?

(right now I cant start a pbf game due to the above error)

thanks!

Hi Micky

did Victory link you this https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4076/1-trout-axis-vs-victoryfirst-allies-g40-house-rules-expansion-by-the-captain?page=1

If marti registered you with yahoo it should work. If not gmx and proton mail both work

Edit
Actually PBF isn't posting directly to the thread right now. So once you get it to fire up, you will need to hit Turn Summary, ctrla ctrlc and paste that into the post in your game thread. You will also need to manually save and post that save into your post as well.

I don't think the yahoo is the problem - the 'to' seems to stay red no matter what I enter... I just created a yahoo email because I couldn't seem to register my gmail on the martri dice server...

Any insights appreciated!

a week ago or close to two now, crockett had a issue with the direct post. So we just do it the way you taught me.

Copy the summary and make a save game and then post both directly to the thread.

It's known about. I don't use it, so haven't been following

but yea part of some of the new updates. Not sure if it was nodeBB or a engine release

@beelee have you encountered any issues with directly posting to the TripleA forum lately? Is this a recent issue or is this going on for some time?
