@mainah good question. The fleet at Toulon only falls in Vichy hands if it is at port when the armistice occurs. It the fleet is out at at sea (any sz other than sz 95), the ships remain free French. The same is true Balance Mod.
Similarly, any French land units that move out of French territory before it turns Vichy remain free French.

@regularkid
Thank you. I hadn’t run into it before, and never really occurred to me before the map change in PTV -
In one game where I was allies and Vichy activated in round 2 I had moved the French inf from French West Africa to French Central Africa and it turned Vichy there. I didn’t expect that although it was true to the rules.

Hey, hey guys. We are pleased to announce the release of version 6.0 of WW2 Path to Victory, now available for download on the TripleA Download Maps page. If you already have PTV installed, you can update to the latest version by clicking the “Installed” tab under “Download Maps,” and then selecting “Update” on PTV.
Based on your feedback and playtesting, version 6.0 incorporates the following substantive changes:
-
Carrier scrambles are now limited to a maximum of three planes from each sea zone adjoining the battle (player enforced);
-
Convoy blockade zones have been added to sea zones 43 and 38; and
-
Sea zone 46 (by Dutch New Guinea) has been redrawn to further differentiate the reach of the Malayan naval base from sea zone 38. The redrawn sea zone is shown below.
We hope you enjoy the changes and look forward to future games.

Would love to see a crossover between the Path to Victory map and the array of options in the TripleA House Rules variant.

If Germany builds a minor IC in USSR, and USSR takes it back, then Germany takes it, is the IC removed?

What I remember the rule said “originally owned”, so no.
-
@simon33 It is not removed.

Reposting in the rules thread:
@owentoo said in WW2 Path to Victory - Feedback Thread:
Hopefully this is a good place to get a rule clarification on this rule: "Revised Plane Landing Rules: It is legal to land air on newly built carriers. However, it is not legal to make a combat move that is only possible because of a newly built carrier. "
The turn in question is the American round 11 turn found here:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36206/owentoo-axis-vs-simon33-allies-ptv/175?page=7
The Americans launched 4 aircraft from CVs in 89 to attack SZ 105 (3 zones away) and then recovered the 2 surviving aircraft onto a newly built CV in 104. I feel that is illegal, and the Americans should have moved one of the launching CVs from 89 to either 91, 92 or 106 to recover the surviving aircraft.
What say our PTV developers?

Errata PTV (also posted under Feedback: Objective for German controlled territory: Iraq, Add “Southern” Persia or Northwest Persia. Italian objective already states “Southern” Persia.

@fmerwinrommel Thanks. Will fix is next update.

Boundary between SZ2 & SZ9 is drawn through the Aleutian Islands but Aleutians are only connected to SZ9.
-
@simon33 the connection appears to be working. try reloading the game and see if it fixes the problem. sometimes tripleA breaks territory connections (this happens with other maps too). A reload usually resolves the issue.
-
So Aleutians are meant to be connected to SZ2? Ok. I thought the drawing of the map was wrong.
-
Is it intended that you can’t scramble to land where there are air units only?
-
@simon33 You can scramble to a land territory that contains only defending air units. Any defending units at all enable the scramble.

The notes say “land units”.
-
@simon33 ah thanks i’ll fix this
-
Is there a post where we can read about the changes to the initial units relative to either OOB or BM3? Just getting into P2V for the first time here.
-
@mikawagunichi Changes are all written in the game notes for the PTV map.
