Hi, these rules are cool. I did not base my rules off of this. This was developed independently.
A different take on “free for all”. Being able to make alliances though means it should be called “shifting alliances” rather than “free for all”.
@CaptainNapalm Thanks Capt. that website hasn’t updated some of them.
@aagamerz13 This is where I get the rules.

Hi guys…a quick question on the victory conditions. If germany holds all 8 vcs at the end of its turn, then Russia retakes one by the end of its turn, but Italy retakes that last VC…does that satisfy the axis VC conditions as they still have all 8 by the time the german turn comes round? Or do the conditions reset until the end of Italy’s go giving the allies a chance at one more turn?
thanks in advance

Yup.
@regularkid @trulpen Thanks…situation was all resolved soon after anyway!!
BM3 question - Italy has declared war on Russia and taken Eastern Poland. Germany is in Eastern Poland after their turn - can they do that without declaring war on Russia (and thus cancel their 5 IPC bonus)? I thought Germany was at war in this situation but TripleA doesn’t confirm so… I’m asking.

Deleted my earlier response since I missed it was a BM3 question.
@LennardF NO, Germany has to DoW Russia if they want to walk into E.Pol. in BM3 only.
@AndrewAAGamer Tanks a lot, just didn’t want to cheat myself out of a major factory otherwise!!!
@LennardF see here:
Note: An Axis power may not move its units into originally Russian territory unless that Axis power is at war with Russia. Also, when not at war with Japan, Russia may not move its units into any non-Russian Allied territory in Asia, other than Syria, Trans-Jordan, Iraq, Persia, NorthWest Persia, and East Persia. The National Objective for Russia’s first capture of Berlin has been removed.
This is for BM 3 only.
Thanks guys.
Do kamikazes prevent landing marines (e.g. ANZAC) with allied cruisers/battleships (e.g. US)?

Only if they kill the ship that carried them.
@simon33 Actually Kamis cannot attack ships that aren’t part of the nation doing the turn, so they also don’t prevent unloading off allied ships.
Oh sorry, didn’t notice that part of the question.

No. There will be no kami because there will be no sea-battle.
Sorry, didn’t see the following answers.
Of course, there could be scramble, but then the nation making the landing would have to commit air to win the air-battle. Still no kamikazes.
Can anyone please assist with a rule clarification… Are you allowed to purchase an AC from any minor IC or is it a requirement that you also have a naval base in the same location?
