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.

@aequitas-et-veritas yes, we left the “combat move first” and other included variants of BM unchanged, so you have the option of playing with the 12 PU bombers if you like. But the official version has bombers at 14.
-
@regularkid ,@simon33 thank you both for your quick Response!
-
Can someone please explain how this bomber @14 works.
- If I load a new BM3 game, bombers are at 12. Does this mean I have to update my BM map?
- BUT if I browse other players games and load those offline I can play those games with bombers @14 no problem. Why? (But most games are with 12 though)
- Is there a potential conflict? One side play with bombers at 12 and other side with bombers at 14 unintentionally.

@oysteilo it came with the updated versions of BM3

you need to remove the old file on the pc.
@trulpen helped me with that and it worked.
i had the newest version of triple a, and the latest map, but still , when i created the game, the boms cost 12.
then i deleted some maps on the PC, i think the ones with triple a , and installed it all over again, from the begining.
than it worked
cheers -
All links whether they are supported for AAA or not should be on the first page. That is if your interested on making it more popular. Also, if the map is different at least Page one should illustrate these changes.

Great question.
Answer: There is no chance of a conflict.
Yes, you have an older version of the map installed. You would need to delete and reinstall the map to see the 14 bomber cost on new games you start from your computer.
However, saved game files are imbedded with the xml data that started the game. Therefore, if someone else starts a game with the new version of the map, when you load that saved game, you will see the 14 bomber cost, because TripleA is drawing upon the the embedded xml data, rather than your local xml.
Conversely, if you were to start a game from your computer, and share a saved game with another person who has the updated map, that person would see the 12 bomber cost, because the saved game would contain your xml data.
make sense?
-
basically i need to update my map and agree before playing on 12 or 14. oki!

Re: G40 Balance Mod - Rules and Download
I have looked for threads that deal with this but they are sort of rambling and don’t quite answer all my questions. If you can point me to a thread or pdf that explains it all, that would be great. Otherwise a response here for these questions/comments will be greatly appreciated. Also, the Notes tab in the game itself does not address most of these. And I am interested in what the Triplea rules are now, not the original game rules. Thanks.
If Japan attacks Dutch islands, UK can declare War on Japan, correct? Does that include Anzac can do the same? Or do one or both automatically go to War with Japan if Dutch are attacked? And does AI handle properly?
If French Indochina is attacked, same question. UK/Anzac can declare war or are they immediately at War? AI handles properly?
For both 1. and 2. above, I assume that if they are at War with Japan automatically, that the US can then declare War on Japan? OR, if UK/Anzac simply can choose now to go to War, then if they attack Japan, the US can not go to War until the proper turn?
Can Anzac and UK declare War on Japan at any time in all cases? If that is the case, then the answer should be that an attack on the Dutch or French IS an act/declaration of war by Japan and that US can then also go to War in their next turn.
With Russia, I have noticed that it is very hard to not have the Mongolians join Russia, even if Russia declares War 1st. But, am I correct in remembering that if Russia attacks Manchuria first, then Mongolians will not join Russia even if Japan takes back Manchuria and attacks Amur?
Thanks!

sorry
I think I didn’t understand how to update the map …

Vichy is activated, normandy is under USA control, southern france is not activated by axis. Now, what happens to the grey boats in sz 93 if USA captures southern france (from normandy)

Yes. And by way of further explanation, the fleet at Toulon will only revert back to Free French if either: (1) France (Paris) is liberated by the Allies; or (2) Southern France is taken by the Free French.

Are marine-loaded battleships/cruiser allowed in sz102 while the US is not at war? Thx

Yes, there’s no rule against that.
-
Thanks, thought about it, because the oob rulebooks says that transports are not allowed to go there while not at war.

Are neutrals treated differently in BM3 than in vanilla G40? I ask because in triplea live, the game wants to count neutral Greece as “allied controlled” for the UK bonus in the med (capturing Sardinia, Sicily, Greece, or Southern Italy). A neutral is a neutral regardless if it is strict neutral or leans one way or the other. Mods, please move this to a different forum if need be. I searched, but did not see a BM3 specific forum.
