@Panther Yes the saved game files can be removed, absolutely.

@Panther K. I edited the initial posts to reflect the noted changes. Thanks.

Hey guys, What happened to the extra download to enable the Vichy Colours? It used to be at the beginning of this thread. Because I thought I installed it over the latest version of TripleA that I installed, but now I just went back and I can’t find it.

[regularkid]

@freh i deleted the post because the Vichy colors are already included in the G40 BM map that you can download from the TripleA “Download Maps” section. There’s no need for a separate post addressing it.

Hi, this has probably been addresses before but in the following rules https://axisallies.com/rules/axis-allies-rules-europe1940-corrections-faqs.pdf

it states "

Scrambling Q. Can I scramble fighters or tactical bombers from United Kingdom? A. No. They can only be scrambled from island territories with airbases. An island is a single territory completely surrounded by a single sea zone.

"

Just wondering where this rule was changed since UK scramble is allowed.

@aagamerz13 It was changed with the Second Edition of the rules. Looks like you have First Edition there.

@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

@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.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@LennardF NO, Germany has to DoW Russia if they want to walk into E.Pol. in BM3 only.

[Nolimit]

@AndrewAAGamer Tanks a lot, just didn’t want to cheat myself out of a major factory otherwise!!!

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@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.

Do kamikazes prevent landing marines (e.g. ANZAC) with allied cruisers/battleships (e.g. US)?
