G40 Balance Mod - Rules and Download

There is a pretty rare case where allied air can get ‘stuck’ on a damaged carrier. Since joint attacks aren’t possible, a friendly air unit on a carrier would stay on the deck as a carrier moves into battle. If that carrier takes a hit, then the friendly air unit can’t take off until the carrier is repaired.

And thanks for the quick response.

Oh okay yeah, that has never happened to me before. If you send a carrier with friendlies on it into battle you probably aren’t planning on keeping the carrier alive anyway.

Also forgot Iraq, which is also not in Europe.

@Adam514:

Syria has never been in Europe.

Of course not!  But in A&A 1940 it is on the Europe game board.  Maybe that is where the question comes

I’d rather not disagree with the great Adam, but I can definitely see situations where a carrier with a friendly plane or two would be sent in to attack, and the owner wouldn’t want to sink the carrier.  If you sink the carrier, you lose the allied plane automatically, of course.  If you’re sending it into battle, it’s probably preferably to take 1 hit and get it repaired later.  And there’s always the possibility of a hit and run, and that retreat might be back to a naval base where it could be repaired soon

So that means you don’t get the bonus for Iraq any more.  I didn’t notice that.

Yeah, that was a good fix - was so bogus that Russia could collect 5 a turn from Iraq

Their biggest territory is Moscow, at THREE IPC’s!!!

I really liked that loophole! Gave the allies some help and something to target. Also gave Germany additional hesitation in doing a G2 DOW.

That one didn’t bug me as much. But people running mech down into Africa to claim some of the Italian terr really struck me as wrong. Yeah Italian Somaliland is really that important to the common Russian.  :roll:

PROPAGANDA! Way more important than economy  :mrgreen:

@regularkid:

that would be awesome, Simon. the most recent version of Balance Mod and the companion files containing the new unit images, objectives panel, etc. are in the first two posts of this thread, as Adam mentioned. Substituting the objectives.properties file in the “optional download” for the one in your Global folder will resolve the issue described in your prior post.

Balanced Mod is now incorporated into the prerelease of TripleA 1.9.

You can also do tech in Balanced Mod if you want to.

Nice thank you.

Sorry if this has question been answered before.

Here is the scenario:

1. An allied cruiser drops a marine on an undefended axis-controlled island in a kamikaze zone, in combat movement phase.
2. A kamikaze sinks the cruiser, at the beginning of combat phase.
3. Marine takes the island without a fight, in combat phase.

Is this correct, or does sinking the cruiser mean the marine dies in the water and doesn’t get to land?

Marine dies - kamikaze got 'im
Damn Japs

ok thanks gamerman

In the latest version of TripleA (1.9), the mod is included in the global package which means that you can choose the map instead of having to load a saved game (credits to Simon33). Keep in mind that you can’t use 1.9 to load older saves, so don’t delete 1.8 just yet.

If you run into issues with the objectives tab not showing up in BM in TripleA 1.9, let me know, I have a fix. I seem to have been the only one to run into an issue as far as I know.

did someone make a cheat sheet for the new suite of NOs?

If so, could they post a link or something?  The prior links to some sort of chart don’t work.

What do you mean by cheat sheet?

It looks like that they are ALL embedded in the Objective Panel now and are highlighted when you are achieving one.

Just a convenient little chart or something with all the NO’s listed. As is the BM Mod doesn’t include the NO’s that the BM doesn’t change. Would just be nice to have them all together.

They are all in the objectives tab if you added the optional download/play in 1.9.
