I have created in TripleA a version of this with some tweaks to improve balance. It should appear on the map list and in-game downloader soon, until then you can download from https://github.com/triplea-maps/world_war_ii_v6_1941_Balanced

My changes are

Win by taking a capital without losing a capital. Capitals have a bunker that defends at 3 and adds 1 to defending infantry strength. Russian income and starting money increased. Urals have a value of 2, Siberia a value of 1. Factories added in Sichuan and Southern Europe. Factories are destroyed when captured. Added a US destroyer on the East Cost.

@RogerCooper It can be downloaded from https://triplea-game.org/map/east-and-west/ or the in-game downloader.

Did the new printings of the Anniversary edition make any changes in the game?

@RogerCooper The mod is completed. It can be downloaded from https://github.com/triplea-maps/East_and_West

I am going to wait a little before posting this into triplea_maps.yaml. You can download this as zip file from github using code/download ZIP

@RogerCooper I have a functioning game. I am working on getting neutral units to change ownership through diplomacy.

There will be 4 scenarios in the mod.

East and West-Automated-7 Player
East and West-Automated-4 Player
East and West-Manual
East and West-Standard

In the automated version, the complex tech and diplomacy rules are replace with random events. In the manual version, the player will need to edit the results.

The standard version will do everything using the Axis & Allies 1942-2nd edition rules (with Anniversay edition AA rules).

First two scenarios are done. Should be finished soon.

I am putting the finishing touches on East and West-Standard. I am going to test the balance in Hard AI. I may split into two scenarios, one where the Arab_League is part of the Eastern alliance and another where it is part of the Western alliance.

@crockett36 Here is the game to order, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lo2/liftoff-20-the-epic-space-race?ref=bggforums&total_hits=385&category_id=34

The original game is an interesting game about the race for the Moon in the 1960’s. I saw the playtest version of the new edition at Pax Unplugged and it looks great.

@Akiba Are you playing with the Larry Harris setup. It strengthens India substantially, making it hard for the Axis to get India quickly.

@Ghostglider Pls use second post. Moved tank+mech to Vologda.
