G40 Balance Mod - Rules and Download

@regularkid:

Bah! I fawked up. The Japan Home Island NO is only suppose to kick in when Japan is at war with the United States, not with “any Western Ally.” Mah bad.

BM3.1 has been uploaded and resolves this problem.

Thank you Simon to make this game great.

So how exactly is this balancing the game if you take away allied ipcs from National objectives such such as anzac’ s defense peremeter being only 3 ipcs? I mean the axis have a huge enough advantage as it is and you’ve given them even more NO opportunitys.

You need to familiarize yourself with all the balanced mod changes first.

They more than balanced it - the advantage is the Allies’ now.  You’re just looking at one small tweak

Japan is significantly weakened by the need to garrison China. USSR is strengthened by some more NO income. USA and UK also get some extra income, including UK Pacific.

BM3.2 has been uploaded. Resolves issues with Persia convoy lane bonus applying before round 3.

I threw in combined posting for the allies for the map with combat move first. i.e. UK post includes the summary from USA & China; ditto for France wrt ANZAC. If there is any demand I’ll extend that to the standard version.

Cool.

Thanks all for keeping these improvements coming. :-)

Thanks for the continued improvements.

Not sure if this is the best thread for this, but I just downloaded 1.9.0.0.3627 of TripleA, and I get an error when I try to select a map.  I’m trying to use the latest version of Balanced Mod.

I checked, and my Java is fully up to date (Version 8, update 121).  I’ve attached the error I’m getting as a txt file.  It looks like the same thing repeated multiple times to me, but I don’t know what it means.

When you try to select any map?

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the maps. Other than that I can’t help you.

I just uninstalled the 1.9 versions of TripleA that I had on the system and tried downloading a new copy - 32 bit this time, tho my system is 64 bit.  Same error.  It comes up before I have even downloaded any maps.  I just get that error anytime I hit the select map button or open the software.

I can open saved games, but not maps.  Very odd.

you might try asking under software. Panther might know

Where do you find the most updated version of this map?

If you update your G40 maps you’ll automatically have BM3.2.

Just wanted to thank Barney for pointing me towards the Software forum and P@nther.  With their help, I got everything running.
