@oysteilo it came with the updated versions of BM3

OK. I still dont understand

you need to remove the old file on the pc.

@trulpen helped me with that and it worked.

i had the newest version of triple a, and the latest map, but still , when i created the game, the boms cost 12.

then i deleted some maps on the PC, i think the ones with triple a , and installed it all over again, from the begining.
than it worked
cheers

All links whether they are supported for AAA or not should be on the first page. That is if your interested on making it more popular. Also, if the map is different at least Page one should illustrate these changes.

basically i need to update my map and agree before playing on 12 or 14. oki!

Re: G40 Balance Mod - Rules and Download

I have looked for threads that deal with this but they are sort of rambling and don’t quite answer all my questions. If you can point me to a thread or pdf that explains it all, that would be great. Otherwise a response here for these questions/comments will be greatly appreciated. Also, the Notes tab in the game itself does not address most of these. And I am interested in what the Triplea rules are now, not the original game rules. Thanks.

If Japan attacks Dutch islands, UK can declare War on Japan, correct? Does that include Anzac can do the same? Or do one or both automatically go to War with Japan if Dutch are attacked? And does AI handle properly?

If French Indochina is attacked, same question. UK/Anzac can declare war or are they immediately at War? AI handles properly?

For both 1. and 2. above, I assume that if they are at War with Japan automatically, that the US can then declare War on Japan? OR, if UK/Anzac simply can choose now to go to War, then if they attack Japan, the US can not go to War until the proper turn?

Can Anzac and UK declare War on Japan at any time in all cases? If that is the case, then the answer should be that an attack on the Dutch or French IS an act/declaration of war by Japan and that US can then also go to War in their next turn.

With Russia, I have noticed that it is very hard to not have the Mongolians join Russia, even if Russia declares War 1st. But, am I correct in remembering that if Russia attacks Manchuria first, then Mongolians will not join Russia even if Japan takes back Manchuria and attacks Amur?

Thanks!

sorry

I think I didn’t understand how to update the map …

Vichy is activated, normandy is under USA control, southern france is not activated by axis. Now, what happens to the grey boats in sz 93 if USA captures southern france (from normandy)

The boats disappear.

One was a SubCruiser anyway

Are marine-loaded battleships/cruiser allowed in sz102 while the US is not at war? Thx

Yes, there’s no rule against that.

Thanks, thought about it, because the oob rulebooks says that transports are not allowed to go there while not at war.

Are neutrals treated differently in BM3 than in vanilla G40? I ask because in triplea live, the game wants to count neutral Greece as “allied controlled” for the UK bonus in the med (capturing Sardinia, Sicily, Greece, or Southern Italy). A neutral is a neutral regardless if it is strict neutral or leans one way or the other. Mods, please move this to a different forum if need be. I searched, but did not see a BM3 specific forum.

Hi, I’m new to the site so apologies if this post is in the wrong place.

I play on TripleA and have been enjoying balanced mod 3. When I discovered this website recently, I noticed people are playing balanced mod 4. However, when I try to find balanced mod 4 on the “download maps” page of TripleA, it isn’t there- I can only see balanced mod 3. Can someone tell me where to find balance mod 4? Also, does anyone know what changed from 3 to 4? I have tried searching but I cannot find any information on what changed.

Thanks

Hi @PGsquig

I also went through the BM3 BM4 search same as you.

Download latest, and it will be BM4. There is no notification for it that I’m aware of.

How long did you spend searching ? Couple 2- 3 hours for me :)

@gamerman01 do you or @crockett36 no if there is a update/notification for this ?

I think @simon33 is/was in charge of the updates ?

@barnee thank you! I definitely spent at least an hour searching but it’s great to know I’ve already been playing it

@PGsquig I think this is what you want to know -

BALANCED MOD 4 IS BALANCED MOD 3 with 14 IPC cost bombers. That is the only change.

@PGsquig Would be exciting to see you play a league game, let us know if you have any questions about it
