Here is another way to go. Each country also in my game can roll 2d6 for 2 National advantages to get at start of game and can use the whole game. This gives one side or country a bit of an advantage and now game changes a bit based on what u got and turn 1 will change your buys a bit. If you don’t want tech u could go this way and get a better piece and or combine them per turn based on time frame in war when each country had it and if they did.
As far as picking a tech or weapon I don’t agree only based on the countries will always pick the best one they have. You could add to these lists and have roll for 1 start then roll for one more on turn 3 or whatever. Many options here. Or you can have 1-3 tech tree or charts and u can pick one of the 3 charts but then u have to roll for it. Here’s our NA chart.
Can U please elaborate all this bonuses (NOs), what do they give ?
D12 will have to convert. Some can’t use based on d6 and 16% more hit to strong but can be worked out with maybe some multi pieces like 2 each.

SBR 1d6 +3 starting on turn 3.
Ger

Yes a lot from there with tweaks

You’ll have to ask barnee

@Amon-Sul, I think the main one that would be impossible to carry out in triple A (without reliance on manual edits and out-of-game dice rolls) would be the Joint Strike NA (USA can use uk units for combat once during the game). I think you’d have to trigger a temporary change in ownership of all uk units on the board to US, but I’m not sure how you could track them for purposes of the eventual return to UK ownership.
Some of the others might be doable tho!

that one is not problem for doing manually once in a game, but for example destroyers carring inf , uk aa guns defending on 2, it could be great if it could be implemented in triple a, so u dont have to use edits all the time

UK AA defend at 2 - can definitely be done. Would have to create a new unit type (e.g., “UK AA”) availabe only to the UK that has unique defence value.
Tokyo Express - same thing. Unique unit type (e.g., “Jap Destroyer”) would do the trick.

Hey fellow Nerd Herders. We’re happy to announce the release of WW2 Path to Victory v 3.0, available for download now on TripleA. The substantive changes were made based on the results of further playtesting and community feedback:
-
Sea Zone 6 is redrawn to fully encompass Korea (see image below);
-
Japan’s “Honolulu, Sydney, Calcutta” National Objective now requires direct Japanese ownership to get the +5 PUs, rather than just Axis ownership;
-
Tsugaru Strait now permits passage of submarines, regardless of ownership (like Gibraltar).
That is all.
Also, if you ever want to chat with Adam and me directly about Path to Victory, or enjoy live chat during games, please come and join our PTV discord server at: https://discord.gg/kSbeKFa. Adam and I are there most days and eager to hear from you.
Enjoy!

Tsugaru say what? I didn’t even realize there was a strait there! great update then, allowing subs in… but that strait should definitely be highlighted more in the notes… should be its own item in the notes

also, what is the rule regarding non-sub passage through that strait? is it like gib where only one control of one territory is all that’s needed, and if so, which territory? or is it more like the Turkish straits?
-
@axis-dominion. Hey, there is a labeled section in Notes devoted to Tsugaru Strait (we added it in Version 2!) Yes, its like Gibraltar. . . control of Japan alone controls the strait.

alright, i just re-tested version 3 with an older saved game, and it DOES work. So I’m removing the warning about this. Download away!

Yep - my saved game with surfer works.

@regularkid The third Anzac objective still seems to be tied to ownership of Solomon Islands. Text no longer includes solomons but taking solomons cancels out the objective.

@ksmckay Thanks Ksmckay, it will be addressed in the next version.

Hey guys. Adam brought something to my attention that I just fixed. An AA gun was inadvertently removed from United Kingdom (it should have four, not three, AA guns at the start). I updated the map to reflect this change, so if you download it now it will have the correct number of AA guns.
If you are using the older version, you should definitely add an AA gun to UK before beginning, because that was not an intended change. Thanks!

Don’t think you need to double-post, but the info is fine here. :)

@regularkid @adam514 Does Rostov touch the black sea? The map has just one sea zone, making it seem as though it does. The graphics are a bit misleading too I would say. TripleA doesnt allow the move. If Rostov doesnt touch the sea zone, does that mean there is a land bridge connecting Ukr to North Caucasus? (Obviously no), but still.
