G40 Balance Mod - Feedback Thread

That’s a good rule.  Very good rule.

Would it be possible to make it so that when the axis control no Chinese territories at the beginning of China’s turn, then chinese can leave china?  Like walk out and attack FIC or Korea etc?

I really like this mod. I’m having a bit of a problem understanding the following rule text

Liberation of France: The Allied liberation of France effectively terminates the Armistice. Any territory and forces still under Vichy French control (including any surviving fleet in sz 93) revert back to Free French control. The Vichy French forces in the Southern France and sz 93 will also revert back if Southern France is liberated by the Free French.

The only Free French after the Armistice will be those in London.  If Free French try to occupy Southern France somehow does it just automatically convert the Vichy French Neutral units to Free French without a battle?

Yeah that’s what would happen. Let’s just say that it isn’t a likely scenario  :-).

Haha precisely!

china’s getting convoyed

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?

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.

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 total

Proposed 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 total

37-3=34

Shouldn`t it be better this way?

thanks :)

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.
