G40 Balance Mod - Rules and Download

@barnee thank you! I definitely spent at least an hour searching but it’s great to know I’ve already been playing it

[gamerman01]

@PGsquig I think this is what you want to know -

BALANCED MOD 4 IS BALANCED MOD 3 with 14 IPC cost bombers. That is the only change.

[gamerman01]

@PGsquig Would be exciting to see you play a league game, let us know if you have any questions about it

@gamerman01 Rules question - Are Axis subs allowed to enter Vichy SZ 93? And if so, Does the S. France Vichy harbor allow 3 movements to axis subs?

Any Axis ship can, and yes harbor provides movement.

a question concerning the French fleet at s7 93.

What if UK ship(s) are there when the Vichy option activates. Does it mean they are trapped there until the liberation of France / or destroyed if Germany (or Italy) takes Southern France?

It’ll lead to the same situation as when you build in a sz with enemy ships: the enemy ships need to move on their turn or fight.

Interesting. So they are not trapped , they have the opportunity to fled.

Thanks

Good question @Amon-Sul. @Adam514 . So if british put a warship in 93 sz round 1 and Vichy is activated. If I remember correctly Vichy is the first thing to happen on french turn 1, before combat and combat move. If the neutral axis do not have to fight the british warship I dont understand why the british have to fight or move out round 2 if nothing else has happened meanwhile. Hmmmmm.

[Amon-Sul]

@oysteilo

if I understood Adam correctly, British ship doesnt have to flee. It is just an option. It can stay frozen there ?

[gamerman01]

Adam is on the mod team and I am not, but I just can’t resist.

Right

If the neutral axis do not have to fight the british warship

The white ships CANNOT fight (ATTACK) the British warship, they maintain a strictly defensive posture per the rules above.

I dont understand why the british have to fight or move out round 2 if nothing else has happened meanwhile. Hmmmmm.

The fleet at Toulon is unique. In the case of Japan vs. USA, for example, when USA is neutral Japan can totally ignore the US ships. But the fleet at Toulon are not pieces of a playable power. It is allied with the Axis but can’t ATTACK. So if the British don’t move on UK2, the Toulon fleet will DEFEND against the Allied ships that haven’t moved away. The UK ship(s) would be ATTACKING zone 93 enemy fleet if they are not moved away

OK, pretty sure I got that right, Adam will proof me.

[oysteilo]

I think you got it right!

@gamerman01

if France bids a sub in sz 93, or Paris miraculously survives rd 1, and France puts a ship placement there,

and on the second turn Vichy activates

what happens with that bided or produced unit? Becomes white ?

[gamerman01]

@Amon-Sul I’m not sure, but Adam will see your question and answer it

Any French ship in that sz becomes Vichy when it’s activated.

If Germany attacks British navy which is in SZ next to an airfield

and at the same time attacks that airfield with bombers (SBR).

Can Germany disable that airfield so the figs in that territory (UK) can`t scramble to help the UK navy?

Or Germany can disable it , but it can`t be used as an advantage in that same turn?

No, scramble orders come before combat.

Can U fly over true neutrals territory if U are at war with true neutrals?

They have to have been attacked before they can be flown over (same rule as vanilla).

When u say before,

U mean in some previous round(turn)

Or it can mean previous battle of the same turn ?
