G40 Balance Mod - Rules and Download

Thank you.

@wittmann:

Is it right that  Britain can take FIC, without a DOW against Japan?

did not knew that. really interesting.

but that applies only in the Vichy scenario off course?

If Vichy isn’t activated UK, ANZAC, USSR can all move troops into FIC but they don’t take ownership in that scenario.

It is annoyjng, as I don’t ever take FIC, as I like the 10 NO. Habe had to march into it or face the U.K. taking it . On J2 (no DOW) I only made 35: terrible Japanese income!

What, to prevent 2IPC/turn income going to the allies?

And having to recapture it, when I nedd yo go elsewhere. Perhaps, I have made a mistake, but will see where it takes  me. Have not yet won as the Axis in BM and fear I won’t change that in this game either.

You are happy for Britain to take FIC then? I see.

I normally take it J1 to build the IC on it.

Rule check for BM:

Can a FTR attack a territory, if the only place to land after the battle, is a Pro-Axis Neutral which has yet to be, but can be, activated? The plan would be to activate during Non-com so the plane is able to land in the newly activated territory?

Thanks!

No plane can land in any territory that wasn’t controlled at the start of the turn, under any circumstance. Conquered or acquired as pro-neutral still means it wasn’t controlled at the beginning of the turn.

Correct, the only exception are the orange DEI which can be used as landing space regardless if orange or activated by UK/ANZAC.
Here the logic is that the already belonged to the side that activated them prior to the activation.

True. I believe it is possible to even land ftrs there without having first acquired it with ground units.

That’s right. So it isn’t an exception. They’re already allied.

In order to better expose the Balance Mod to the community, this thread has been moved to “Other Axis & Allies Variants”.

The Soviet objective for no allied units read:

“3 PUs if Russia is at war with European Axis, and there are no non-Russian Allied units in any originally Russian territory.”

This means allied air can land in mongolia if mongolia is activated and the soviets still get their +3? (Why does it read Russia, when it is the Soviet Union?)

Yes it does mean that. Allies can land air in Russian occupied German territory and still get the NO too.

Is there any current way to get the Mod 3.0 Objectives in card form? Young Grasshopper recently got his card decks on DriveThruCards.com and they are available for only about $3.50.

Not that I know of.

Sorry if this has been answered but I didnt see a definitive answer despite a lot of discussion on the topic regarding mixed forces.

Scenario
US attacks an empty Phi with a cruiser loaded with a US marine.

How do Kamikazes work in this situation?

Currently TripleA prompts for Kamikaze usage allowing targeting of the cruiser. Independent of the results of the kamikaze (meaning even if Kamikaze is successful and the cruiser is sunk) the marine is able to unload and take Phi.

Is this the desired behavior? Both regarding the marine unloading (successful no matter what) and the ability to use kamikazes?
