@PGMatt:

@Adam514:

The extra money for lend-lease routes is increased only if Japan initiated the DOW, so if Russia declares on Japan they can never get those NOs. If Russia and Japan stay at peace Russia still doesn’t get them either. It’s an added deterrent in addition to the Mongolia rules.

that’s how I was reading it too; plus it encourages Russia to stay out of China’s affairs.

Yup that’s also part of the reason we added it.

Yeah it does compared to regular G40, but J1DOW was next to unstoppable in regular. It is more manageable in the Balance mod.

Nope.

@PGMatt:

not sure the UK should be getting this money?

Objective British 4 Control Convoy Lanes: British met a national objective for an additional 3 PUs; end with 30 PUs.

I see 2 subs that could have negated it.

The one they are getting is the med one for Malta, Crete and Cyprus.

@PGMatt:

i really really debated landing my UK bomber in south france to stop the vichy, but thought I had another turn to sort it out.  That really throws a wrench into the Allies now.
taking Normandy Bordeaux from French with 1 armour and 1 bomber remaining

Yup, though if Vichy isn’t activated on the first round it probably isn’t activated at all, since most of the reason to activate it are the french fleet and units and they can move.
