Had to look it up.

6. Improved Mechanized Infantry. Each of your mechanized infantry units that is paired up with a tank or an
   artillery now has an attack value of 2. Also, your mechanized infantry may now blitz without being paired with
   a tank.

The latter and an improved attack value with a tank

Thanks for the discussion guys. It has always irked me slightly about the NG bid but never seemed worth having too much of an argument about.

@AndrewAAGamer since you don’t like balance mod so much i would like to point out that you can turn off nearly all the changes in the options and for the others you can use edit mode. About the only change you can’t do this for is The sbr changes. Edit mode is required for reverting the Chinese objective and for 12ipc bombers in bm4.

So mix and match to your heart’s content, although calling a game balance mod for league purposes then becomes a bit dubious.

@crockett36 said in League General Discussion Thread:

You may never load transports in a hostile sea zone.

I say no problem with this rule. It’s correct the way it is. Except for the ridiculous Anzac DOW putting UK at war with Japan.

@crockett36 said in League General Discussion Thread:

Foreign units in Russia do not disrupt lend lease (since foreign units were gifted to Russia). Why have the rule if Russia never receives it?
@crockett36 said in League General Discussion Thread:
If Germany or Italy enter any territory that was originally Russia, it is a dow. You may not receive a bonus for not being at war while standing in a conquered territory.

These rules are in Balanced Mod!

@crockett36 said in League General Discussion Thread:

You may not convoy Russia unless at war with Russia.

Confused how you think this is a problem.

@crockett36 said in League General Discussion Thread:

all French territories are like allied friendly neutrals that can be taken over by allies. The troops stay French; the territories become allied owned.

I agree with this suggestion.

@crockett36 said in League General Discussion Thread:

lend lease goes all three ways: pacific, atlantic, indian. 3 or 5?

Isn’t this also in Balanced Mod!

@crockett36 said in League General Discussion Thread:

Capitals do not automatically forfeit their entire gdp. They must be surrounded in order to grab every penny. Otherwise, you only gain the ipc value of the capital.

What are you suggesting that isn’t in Balanced Mod?

@gamerman01 Some truth to that but I still do a lot of SBR on Moscow. And in a game I am playing now, 8 escorts and 3 bombers just attacked to be intercepted by 11 interceptors.

I got talked out of bombing India but I am starting to wonder if there are scenarios where it is useful for India. Mostly if it is stripped of ftrs I suppose.

@oysteilo said in oysteilo (Allies+34) vs Simon33 (Axis) G40 with tech:

If you got zero hits in the original roll, maybe you should have reloaded and saved 15.

That might have been a smarter idea. Oh well.

I dont understand Bryansk. First you roll forum dice, then you roll in Triple A. Please explain!

I had already posted the move when I decided to roll forum dice so the triple-A dice where unstoppable. Sorry about the confusion. Was only thinking of trying to speed things up now it seems i’ve slowed them down.

A shame Italy never bought an airbase.

bid: Fighter Kazakhstan, Samara, Novosibirsk, Moscow. Infantry Yunnan, Szechwan. Artillery Egypt.

@VictoryFirst said in Simon33 (Axis) vs VictoryFirst (Allies+50) G40:

Also this “Post after Combat Move” thing, do you want that enabled? I am getting a screen that allows me to post a move summary every time and I don’t think I will use it.

You can turn it off.

@gamerman01 That is beyond my ability. Or at least not at all easy, and even if I could do it, there is no guarantee they would adopt it. A few years back there was a poll for what priorities there should be for engine changes and this was one of the options and I’m pretty sure I was the only one who voted for this change. Really annoyed me.

Gamerman01 - Edited out last sentence per Simon’s request

Attacking Kansu means no Mongolia!

And lose all the mechs

Keep the Italian tanks until last.

Lebowsky (Axis) over Simon33 (Allies+0) French Rebalance, counting as OOB

I think allies should have the edge but Italy was not slowed in the early rounds.

Never seen that error. No idea how you got that.

Go into Download maps, delete World War II Global, then re-install it.

Taken a while to get started. Let’s hope it goes well from here.
