Here’s the Armies vs Navies idea I came up with!
G40 Balance Mod - Feedback Thread
-
not a likely scenario. thats true. but, hey, adam, remember it did happen in one of our games?! that was cool.ha
-
china’s getting convoyed
-
yes i am aware of that issue. apparently it is a bug that also affects the vanilla map. Have tried to see if theree is a way to fix it for G40 Balanced and haven’t found the source of it. So, for the time being, players’ just gotta be watchful about China getting convoyed, and use edit mode, where appropriate, to add the income back.

japan is given the option to kamikaze a cruiser bearing a marine for an amphibious assault, but if the kamis are successful, the marine lives on to take the territory (in my case the territory was undefended)
apologies if this is covered in the notes somewhere
thoughts?
-
you’re saying that you had a game where the kami was successful against the cruiser, but the unloading marine still lived?
-
yup. anzac crs bearing a marine took an undefended iwo jima, where the kamis where successful, the cruiser died, but the marine lived, and took iwo jima.
-
thanks for informing me of that issue. the rule, as stated previously, is that the kami also kils the marine. so in your game, you should use edit mode to conform the battle result to that rule.
-
cool i thx kinda figured, but glad to know for sure

As for marines, I think all those marine guys should look like Italian ones, otherwise I can not distinguish them :lol:

haha. yes, the marine images that come loaded with G40 are a bit hard to distinguish from regular infantry. Thats why we created the optional download to be used with Balance Mod. Check out the second post in this thread: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=37883.0. It iincludes directions on how to install the optional files. The files will give you better marines, will make Vichy France appear in a different color, and will make all the objectives appear in the objectives panel. It has no impact on the regular game.

Wow :) That is great. I`ll go get it now :)

Example:
Turn Complete - British
Total Cost from Convoy Blockades: 3
Rolling for Convoy Blockade Damage in 119 Sea Zone. Rolls: 3,6
Rolling for Convoy Blockade Damage in 109 Sea Zone. Rolls: 4,1
British collect 34 PUs (3 lost to blockades); end with 34 PUs totalProposed version:
Turn Complete - British
British collect 37 PUs
Rolling for Convoy Blockade Damage in 119 Sea Zone. Rolls: 3,6
Rolling for Convoy Blockade Damage in 109 Sea Zone. Rolls: 4,1
Total Cost from Convoy Blockades: 3 IPC; end with 34 PUs total37-3=34
Shouldn`t it be better this way?
thanks :)

i can’t control what order that information appears in
-
i’m with shin ji, after much more experience playing BM, i believe japan needs a little boost for taking all of china…really should get an NO of 5 for controlling all of china. i say this especially since it requires more than just one unit to garrison each territory if there are US bombers lurking all over…it’s just too easy for those bombers to continually stir up uprisings which cause the japanese to have to guard more heavily. besides, i can’t help but feel the allies have the advantage in BM.
-
it’s a dynamic that wasn’t supposed to exist…
what if territories spawned chinese guerrillas at the end of the japanese turn instead?
-
I actually like the fact that China is never truly conquered in this version. It’s a fun dynamic. Given how much faster BM games tend to be, I’m not sure how often you see Asia completely steamrolled by Japan anyway. Japan has more important things to do, like win before the Allies do.

Currently I’m finding it hard to believe axis can win against expert allied play at Adam’s level. I’d like to see this belief challenged of course, by other strong players who have yet to transition over. I believe allied advantage needs a little more trimming. I’m thinking add the China bonus plus reduce Russia NO of adding 2 extra due to Japan DOW down to just 1 extra each.
-
Adam’s just a really really good player. People like you and I, Axis, just aren’t on their level. We’d have to see how someone at that level feels about it, or even better - look at the stats among the top tier players.

Hey Axis Dom, regarding the +2-per-lend-lease bonus, the problem with reducing to just +1 is that it makes declaring war on Russia the “standard” move for Japan as soon as 125 or Archangel are blocked. The purpose of structuring the lend lease NO as is is to discourage JDOWs on Russia by attaching greater consequences to them.
On the broader point, I’ve seen Adam and other top tier players win BM games handily with both Axis and Allies. And with a 47 to 45 Allied to Axis win ratio league-wide, I don’t think we can say anything conclusive regarding the need for further adjustments at this point.

i’ve seen adam and other top tier players play lower tier players and win handily with both sides. that’s what i’m seeing lol. but that’s not what i’m talking about. i’m saying if two top tier players play each other, i don’t believe the axis will win, especially if they play at the level adam is playing. allies are overpowered. if i remember correctly, gamer, who is a top tier player, is saying the same thing and has as far as i’ve seen only played allies and given up one or more NOs. aren’t you at least wondering about that?
