I’m playing an opponent who is preventing Vichy from occurring by having the UK attack Italy’s destroyer and transport in SZ96 from SZ98 with a destroyer, cruiser, tactical from aircraft carrier in SZ98 and a fighter from Malta. Italy’s destroyer is sunk (and transport). Then in the Non-Combat phase, UK loads the transport in SZ98 and lands UK troops in Southern France. Since France is still an ally at this point, this is legal and effectively prevents Vichy mode, since Germany will now have to take Southern France on its next turn. There isn’t any way to prevent this as far as I can tell.
G40 Balance Mod - Rules and Download

I don’t see anything more complex than what was in the original game to be honest. Remember the huge FAQ for G40? In BM there are a handful of ‘‘unclear’’ rules, with many of them coming from unclear vanilla rules and their implementation into TripleA.
You’re right. But adding a whole slug of more rules inherently adds a lot of complexity.
Just not a fan of the whole Vichy thing :-PI was against Vichy initially too, but since it can easily be agreed upon to play without Vichy it doesn’t hurt to include it.
-
Yeah I might have to start doing that
-
“Vichy” isn’t that complex.
-
Says the guy who invented it
You and Adam are so biased.Vichy adds a lot of confusion and a lot of rules
I don’t only criticize you guys - I hated on the game developers for coming up with that whole stupid Mongolia thing, and for too many Pacific air (compared to Europe) in the original version, and for their insane scrambling rules in the original version
But at least they eventually admitted their errors by dramatically changing their position.

Well…
It’s a non trivial increase in complexity in the game overall.

Is there a bug in the recent BM where Japan won’t get the +3 for Oki and Iwo after USA DOWs on Japan?
USA DOW on Japan R3, but Japan didn’t get the +3 J4.
:?

Do you have the latest BM version?
-
I thought so, I down loaded the saved game at the end of the BM rules page 1.

That’s BM2. I think that’s your problem.
-
Yeah BM has been included in the TripleA maps for many months now. I thought you started a BM2 game with Garg on purpose.
-
uh, then where do I get BM3?
-
Not to be presumptuous, but why isn’t BM3 the download at the end of the BM rules?!!?!?
That’s quite misleading, IMO. :-P

It’s included in TripleA!! All you need to do is update the G40 maps on TripleA and voila.
There’s no need to use a saved game anymore.
-
ah, ok. So I am a dummy it looks like!
:lol:
This is me slowly walking away, pretending that I didn’t do anything wrong…… :mrgreen:
-
I’ve pushed up that update to the Japanese objective. If you’re really bothered by the present wording, you can delete and re-download the map.
-
cool. whats the updated wording?
-
10 PUs if not yet at war with USA, has not yet attacked or taken control of French Indo-China, and has not declared war on UK or ANZAC.
It’s as discussed above isn’t it?
-
yah. i thought “occupied” by itself was sufficient, but its fine.
-
Only problem was if an ally moved troops in and then Japan attacked it unsuccessfully.
-
Good catch Simon! :)
