Hi Redrum - thanks so much for the fix and swift reply !!

Revised Map Engine Error -- please assist

Devs - please see the attached Revised Map file.
UK is trying to move the 19 tanks and 4 figs in Sink to Man, without success.
Ironically, they can move to China but then not to Sink thereafter....
These are all allowed moves, which is very odd...

Any advice?
This is the first time that I have ever seen this error before.

Many thanks, Deltium

Deltium (Allies, 18 IPCs) defeats Chewbaluba (Axis)

First, Chewbaluba is a fast and friendly player.
Allies got off to a good start, securing Africa early and the Russians slowed the German tide as best as it could.
The Americans opted for a Pacific navy and made a sneak attack on Tokyo which secured the game.
Good game Chewbaluba. Game file attached.

Cheers, Deltium

Devs - thanks to all for solving this issue !!
Numerous other users have now indicated that it is working OK.
Thanks as well for the very swift responses, which is super helpful at the start of a new tournament !!

Cheers, Deltium

for anyone on the AA50 '41 ladder and/or the Revised ladder: I'm keen to play a ladder game PBEM, if anyone is interested !

URGENT: Major MARTI dice error occurring with users. We're trying to host a PBEM tournament and several users are reporting this issue.

** per some good advice from Redrum, which helped another user, I originally advised him that it is usually due to an old version of Java. He already uninstalled TripleA, downloaded the latest Java 8, and reinstalled TripleA, but the problem continues. He said that he updated Java manually to jre1.8.0_191, uninst/reinst TripleA, same error msg. Read issue 2554, manually deleted jre1.8.0_144, uninst/reinst TripleA, same error msg.

--- original email from user Icelander below ---

Hi all,
I need your help to fix a strange issue with the dice roller.
Probably since I updated to last engine 1.9.0.0.12226, for each new game the Dice Roller Test fails giving the error message attached below.
Fun thing is that the same test succeeds with each old game I load, even after changing the recipients.
So there is no issue with our email addresses.
We tried having Handsome create the new game, but the Dice Roller Test still fails.
Of course I also tried playing regardless, but the game crashes at the first battle with dice.
Please help
Thanks
Icelander

ATTENTION ALL TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS AA50 '41 SEASON 5 PARTICIPANTS !!

We have officially launched the tournament, and the bracket is now live:

https://challonge.com/AA50_ToC5

OK, we are officially READY TO BEGIN !!

Please note a few important things:

• This will be a LL tournament, but players can opt to play with dice, if both players agree.

• I know about half of you personally, but the other half I do not. I have sought advice from the active players, and did my best to seed you based on the knowledge that I have. Please do not put any particular emphasis on your seed, as this is a double-elimination tournament, and you will have a fair chance to compete.

• Please initiate the bidding process immediately. For simplicity, the LOWER seed shall initiate the bid. Please note that you are bidding for the ALLIES.

• Please do review all of the rules, and with regard to bidding, only ONE unit from the bid can be placed in each territory (e.g. you cannot put all of the units in one territory).

• AT ALL TIMES, be respectful to your opponent and timely in your response. As per the rules, you have 48 HOURS to make your move. Violations on gameplay frequency will be monitored and taken seriously. If possible, try to play live with your opponent to keep the game moving forward rapidly, but if not PBEM/PBF is allowed.

• As this is the first game, and as we are approaching the Holidays, I will allow a slightly longer period than 45 days, and I will allow a deadline of December 23rd, but please try to play swiftly.

• I will be writing to each of the pair of players instructing you to begin

AT THE CONCLUSION OF YOUR GAME: please write a brief summary of your game AND attach the game file in the Forum page here: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/1061/tournament-of-champions-season-5-for-aa-50-anniversary-41-version

OFFICIAL BRACKET PAGE: Results will be updated dynamically at the official bracket page: https://challonge.com/AA50_ToC5

Most of all, be RESPECTFUL and COMMUNICATE PROACTIVELY to eliminate any disputes like Order of Loss (OOL), etc. Please also review the rules on the edits. Please be very careful before you click in a battle or finish your turn, as edits are VERY SENSITIVE in tournaments !

Lastly, this tournament is NOT solely about winning or losing. Look at EACH match as an opportunity to learn a deeper aspect of the game and to meet another Axis and Allies player in the world.

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions, at 5683deltium@gmail.com

@Agency10 - you are #1 on the wait list. Although we have 16 registered participants right now, it is normal that 1-2 fall out before the start of the tournament, and if so, you will be able to play.

Thank you for your interest !
