@Sovietishcat Vichy victory? Never heard of that.

Same victory conditions as vanilla, except if Berlin is in Allied hands then Japan needs 7 VCs instead of 6, and if Tokyo is in Allied hands Euro-Axis need 9 VCs instead of 8.

@Adam514 Ok sounds good! Thank you.

Does this apply only for Berlin or Tokyo? Rome does not matter?

[Adam514]

@JDOW Rome is not included. It would make Rome worth a lot, and it’s quite a lot more difficult for Japan to win if just Rome is taken.

[JDOW]

okay, thx

@Adam514 Can USA Bombers land on Dutch Island if USA is at war against Japan? The island is still Dutch, was not taken by Anzac or UK Pac, Thank you.

[Sovietishcat]

@Adam514 The triplea system lets me land the bombers and I did not see any rules stating otherwise but I just want to be sure!

[oysteilo]

@Sovietishcat this is a good question. I am not completely sure. I assume however, that american planes can land there if at war with Japan. American land units can enter the DEI while Dutch, but can not take control, ulike british and Anzac units. @Panther

@oysteilo Once USA has left its neutral status and joined the Allies, USA can land there, indeed.

[Sovietishcat]

@Panther @wizmark Thank you

Has anyone tabulated the league game results to find out what % of games the Axis or Allies win in BM3 for a certain time period? I say BM3, because usually there’s no bid, whereas G40 results could be affected by different bid amounts. How about any other tabulation of results?

In 2018 it was 55% Axis victories on Balanced Mod, with varying bids. Interestingly, in 2017 it was 47% Axis. These figures are in the spreadsheet for prior years. There’s definitely a trend of increasing Axis victories and bids are increasingly going to the allies in increasing amounts.

I think I have asked this question before but have forgotten the answer and can’t find the thread where it came up. To load transports in a combat move you must attempt to land the loaded units in the combat move. If this applies to Marines, then they cannot be loaded onto a cruiser or battleship that goes off into naval combat unless they also make an amphibious assault. I can’t NCM the marines onto the ships, make a combat move with the ships and then just leave the marines on the ships right?

[Adam514]

You cannot.

[gamerman01]

@farmboy You mean noncombat move marines onto ships one turn, and then on the next turn, make a combat move with those ships leaving the marines on the ships?

I would think you could do that, yes. I haven’t played for awhile and Adam is one of the architects of the Balanced Mod game, but I’m wondering if Adam wasn’t clear exactly on what you were asking.
