Version 3T Changes (April 5, 2010)
1. Hanoi no longer given to China if GE creates Vichy. China receives 3000 supply instead if Vichy is declared, representing the aid from the USA that flowed through Vichy Hanoi.
2. Thailand starts game as historically accurate neutrals. (Becomes JA when Pacific Blitz is played)
3. North Blitz card simulates GE surprise attack by giving Stavanger and Bergen to GE, though Bergen gets only 5 Riflemen to occupy it.
4. JA ports start game with 2 hex radius that are JA sea hexes to avoid West from blocking fleet from leaving for Pearl Harbor.
5. Lowered SU starting staff level 10%
6. Lowered SU first turn of winter while awake supply bonus by 2000
7. Gibraltar Strait now opened so ships can go through
Version 2T Changes (March 26 2010)
Fixed Venice. In version T1 Venice stopped being a producing city. Now restored to City 4.
Fixed West Stops Vichy from Forming card not given when Historical Blitz option chosen.
Coastal Artillery changed to Coastal Defenses: Gains the defensive abilities versus subs of 2 destroyers.
Added road from Oslo to Stavanger.
. . . . . I found a good map of Norway at the time that showed a major highway used between the 2.
Version T Changes
The big effect of lots of changes from S to T: Germany, Japan, & China should have a greater possibility of victory.
I. Fixes
a) Coastal Artillery vs. units in Big Sea were previously unable to attack, and defended at half strength. Now function same as vs. regular sea, full strength attack and full strength defend.
b) Italian Morale Restored to Normal (version S was set to a maximum of 8 instead of starting at 8)
II. New Features
a) Accelerate Ship production Game Option (sent by bwheatley)
This will double the random chance of you getting a hull built.
b) Purchase Additional Manpower Action Cards (sent by bwheatley)
The West can buy 800 additional manpower for 500PP and a morale loss of 10% beginning in 1944.
Germany can buy 800 additional manpower for 300PP and a morale loss of 10% beginning in 1945.
c) Consequences to JA Delaying War with China
If Japan does not begin the war with China by July 1941, the following conditions occur:
1) All Chinese cities produce at 125% of normal until war begins (restores to 100% at that time)
2) USA gives China 2000 supply per turn until JA begins war with China
3) In August, October, and December 1941, China gains Guns 1, Heavy Infantry II, and Staff II, if war has not begun by those times
4) In August 1942, if JA has not begun war with China, China may declare war on Japan, and Japan then loses Pacific Blitz Card. At that time, West receives Persuade USA to join West card (150 PP). When played, USA joins West and West declares war on Japan.
5) China victory conditions now only require holding Kunming, Chungking, Sian, Beijing, Shanghai, & Canton
d) West & Soviet Union at War
Once Berlin is occupied by either Western Allies or Soviet Union, the 2 automatically are at war with each other.
e) Incident at Nomohan Card (JA/SU war) renewed each January
If JA & SU are at peace, each January they are given the Start War between JA & SU (Nomohan Incident) card.
III. Adjustments to Improve Balance
a) GE receives new city 4: Dresden
b) GE begins game with Staff II
c) GE & JA only need to hold their VPs 18 turns instead of 24 turns for victory.
d) If JA does not own Hanoi by July 1941, China gets 60PP & production in all Chinese cities increases to 125% of normal
e) West receives manpower grant of 800 13 and 25 turns after USA enters.
f) New Bomber research (dive and level) requires completed research of the previous level of the other bomber type.
.....For instance, Dive Bomber 3 requires Dive Bomber 2 & Level Bomber 2.
g) Effects of Winter Reduced:
.....Maximum single turn readiness penalty 1939-1942 is reduced from 50 to 40.
.....Maximum single turn readiness penalty in 1943 is 35.
.....Maximum single turn readiness penalty in 1944 & 1945 is 30.
h) SU Production when awake but not at war changed from 45% to 55% prior to June 1941 & from 55% to 65% starting June 1941.
i) SU auto wakes February 1941 instead of January 1941.
j) Chinese Partisan Levels Reduced
.....From 7% to 5% for no 900pp & for Sian Conquered
.....From 6% to 4% for No City Garrisons
.....From 4% to 3% for 900pp present all garrisons OK
k) JA gets Fighter II & Heavy Infantry II when they begin war with China
l) JA gets Carrier III, BB/CA III, Destroyer III when they play the Pacific Blitz Card
m) Partisan Levels Decrease to very low when occupying garrisons PP kept high
.......Yugoslavia: . . . 100 PP if not at war with Soviet Union,
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 150 PP if yes at war with Soviet Union
.......Greece: . . . . . .100 PP (until West has 100 PP in Italy, then Greek partisan become many)
.......Soviet Union:. . 850 PP (before capturing Big 5 Cities & assuming all city garrisons are adequate and not winter)
..............................1500 PP (after capturing Moscow, Leningrad, Stalingrad, Kazan, & Gorki, & cities garrisoned & not winter)
.......China: . . . . . . .1100 PP (assuming all city garrisons are adequate)
IV. Unit Changes
a) Sub 3 & 4 have defense versus air increased by 1 each.
b) Flak 4 anti-air range increased to 3
c) Battleship & Cruiser bombardment strength versus land units reduced by 60%
d) Coastal Artillery strength versus surface ships increased by 33%
e) The Soviet Union Partisan unit is reduced from containing 8 partisans to 5, but gets extra supply.
