@blaze-the-action-junkie I don’t recall any changes to the neutral territories or rules in anyway.

@tanstaafl Would this be John and Alan?.. are you both on the same team again?

@newzealandnich no, but that’s a great point that will need clarification… so all pre-game pro-neutrals (or something like that).

@WildBill not yet, but soon

Is posting somewhere after June really enough to enter

THE NEW VICTORY CONDITIONS:

REPLACES THE OOB VICTORY CONDITION RULES…

VICTORY OBJECTIVES & TOKENS:

Once a victory objective has been achieved, a victory token will be awarded. The side with the most victory tokens at the end of 8 complete game rounds will win the war. Victory tokens are awarded immediately upon completion of an objective regardless of when, or how it was achieved. Also, victory tokens may never be awarded twice for the same objective, nor may a victory token ever be lost after it has been gained.

Here is a list of all victory objectives for each side…

NEW CHINA RULES

China no longer collects an income, instead, China now places 1 infantry unit during the place new units phase for every 2 territories they control at the end of their turn (rounded down). Also, China may place 2 free artillery units during their place new units phase if the allies have controlled the Burma road since the beginning of China’s turn. New units including free artillery may be placed in any territory China controls at the end of their turn, and new units can be placed separately or together.

NEW RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

FORTUNES OF WAR

REPLACES THE OOB RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM:
Once one side achieves a victory objective, the same side will receive a fortunes of war bonus. Fortunes of war bonuses are awarded to all powers aligned with that side, except when stated otherwise (particularly 5 & 6 on the Axis chart). Any fortunes of war bonus gained will not come into effect until the end of the game round in which it was achieved.

At the end of any given turn sequence which a victory objective was gained, the side that claimed the victory token will roll 2 dice, and using the results rolled may choose one breakthrough from their chart. Breakthrough dice rolls may never be re-rolled, therefore, if doubles are rolled, or if both dice rolled result in a breakthrough or breakthroughs already owned, then there is no breakthrough awarded for that token gained.

FORTUNES OF WAR BONUSES:

@SeaZone91 Hey SZ91, Thanks for the comments… I think we’ve got a nice mix of advantages vs. disadvantages concerning this new UK Pacific nation. The oob game board will work just fine if you plan to play these rules, and I should have the map file up again in a couple weeks, but to answer your question about the map file… there are no spaces modified, added, or removed from the oob board. Cheers

OTHER NEW RULES AND MODIFICATIONS:

NEW DUTCH ISLAND RULE

All originally controlled Dutch territories on the board are now treated like territories of an allied power whose capital has been captured, and may not be taken control of by allied powers unless liberated from Axis control.

NEW DECLARATION OF WAR RULE

The United Kingdom Pacific may not declare war, or perform an act of war against Japan until the beginning of their 3rd turn. However, if Japan makes a declaration of war against the UK Pacific, America, and/or Dutch before UKP 3rd turn, then the UK Pacific and America may declare war against Japan (Rules involving American restrictions and French sovereignty remain unchanged.)

NEW MINOR IC IN SETUP

The United Kingdom Pacific begins the game with a minor IC in India instead of a major IC. This minor IC will be upgraded to a major IC at no cost immediately when the UK Pacific is at war with Japan.

NEW AMERICAN LEND LEASE RULE

During each of their place new units phases in which the United States are a neutral power, the United Kingdom Europe will place one free UKE fighter in Quebec, plus one free UKE destroyer in sea zone #118 (#106 oob).

NEW CAPITAL PURGE RULE

When a power captures an enemy’s capital city, and it’s the first time in which that capital city has been controlled by an enemy power; the occupying power will receive all cash currently in the possession of the defeated power. If the same capital is again captured by the same or different enemy power, all cash currently in the possession of the defeated power this time will be returned to the bank.
