I’m playing an opponent who is preventing Vichy from occurring by having the UK attack Italy’s destroyer and transport in SZ96 from SZ98 with a destroyer, cruiser, tactical from aircraft carrier in SZ98 and a fighter from Malta. Italy’s destroyer is sunk (and transport). Then in the Non-Combat phase, UK loads the transport in SZ98 and lands UK troops in Southern France. Since France is still an ally at this point, this is legal and effectively prevents Vichy mode, since Germany will now have to take Southern France on its next turn. There isn’t any way to prevent this as far as I can tell.

did someone make a cheat sheet for the new suite of NOs?
If so, could they post a link or something? The prior links to some sort of chart don’t work.
What do you mean by cheat sheet?
Just a convenient little chart or something with all the NO’s listed. As is the BM Mod doesn’t include the NO’s that the BM doesn’t change. Would just be nice to have them all together.
They are all in the objectives tab if you added the optional download/play in 1.9.

Nice! But I was thinking of something for a face to face game… :lol:

Ahh, well I think Young Grasshopper made some NO cards for BM, not sure where they are now though. Probably in the Global 1940 section of the forum.

I believe I ran into a bug with Vichy France happening even though a British Infantry was in Southern France. Please see link in the following post:

Yup it seems to be related to the fact that it’s included in the 1.9 global package. The bug is here to stay until it’s updated.
Even changing Southern France to German controlled doesn’t prevent Vichy lol. I recommend changing Normandy back to French before France’s turn to thwart this bug for now.

Hmm, so you’re suggesting that a fix might be to have a new download for BM? I’d be a little reluctant to implement that because it means a lot of the map download is duplicated.
I’ll have a look if I can see a better fix.

Hey all,
Attached is Balance Mod 2.1 (in saved game format). The only change is the correction of the Vichy Bug discussed above. If you are concerned about the bug affecting your games, you can play this version rather than the one that is built into TripleA until we get the latter version updated.
Thanks all for your patience.

Hi regularkid,
I’ve opened a pull request for this fix.Are you interested in learning how to do this? You’ll need to get a github account. If not, I’m happy to assist but in the future can I get the .xml version? Seems that the exporter doesn’t always export everything in the same order or something so it becomes non trivial to do a comparison.
-
Hey Simon. I appreciate your help. Attached is the xml for the balance mod 2.1, with the vichy fix.
-
Thanks. I’ve worked it out in this case.
But this would be a useful baseline.

any update on fixing 1.9 for macs? The scramble box blinks forever.
-
There’s a few tricks to stop it - command-Q and say no or minimise the window. These often don’t work straight away but you can usually get it to accept input. Had a look at it yesterday but I couldn’t see a fix.

Yah, this is the main thing thats preventing me from picking up a league game right now.

How to start a new BM game in tripleA 1.9?
Is there a game file like attached in this thread in the OP somewhere?
-
Ok, just realized the attached game file IS for 1.9. Ignore my post above please.

You don’t need one. You can select Balanced Mod so long as you’ve downloaded the WW2 Global set of maps - which you need to do anyway.

The BM that comes with the global package has the Vichy bug.

Are you sure? I’m pretty sure I’ve applied the fix. Perhaps I haven’t moved on the version number though so it won’t tell you that you need to download the new version. There’s still a few outstanding bug fixes for some other maps that I’m waiting to be applied so that is probably the case.
-
If the version number is 2.0 you don’t have the fix. If it is 2.1 you do. Unless I’m mistaken.
