    Sorry, should clarify that it is Soviet Far East (Pacific board spaces) I am asking about

    @mr_stucifer Russia needs to be at war with Japan for Allied units to go into the Pacific side of Russian territories.

    @Adam514 Sorry if this has been asked before…can a land scramble activate if only an aa gun is in the defending area? It has no combat value but is a defender? Paris scramble to hol/bel is the area

    Yes you can scramble.

    @regularkid said in WW2 Path to Victory - Rules Discussion:

    Land Scramble: Path to Victory is designed to be played with “can scramble to land” turned on for both Airbases and Carriers. This option, however, may only be used for battles where the defending player has at least one unit in the defending territory–i.e., a scramble cannot be used to defend an empty land territory. The TripleA engine does correctly enforce this rule. However, at present, the engine still prompts players to scramble to undefended territories if the attack is amphibious. This prompt should be ignored since the engine will ultimately not recognize such a scramble, even if it is selected.

    Do factories and other facilities count as a defending unit? Currently, TripleA asks you, but the scramble does not actually happen, and I wonder if this is intended.
    AFAIK I read at some point that facilities are generally also considered units.

    No, factories and facilities do not count as defending units. They do prevent blitzing and they do count in the TUV number and unit count, which is what you may have read.

    @Adam514
    And the rules list the facilities under the “unit profiles” heading and mentions that they are placed in the “Mobilize New Units phase”.
    But otherwise I could not find it referencing them as “units”. So thanks for the clarification

  • Are there any plans to change the PtV map itself? I am asking because I am considering printing the map to play it locally and I don’t want to print it if it’s going to be changed anytime soon. Thank you.

    No plans to change it for the foreseeable future.
