On the other side of the coin, how many freebies does the Axis AI get on Expert mode? I'm in August 1941, and the Germans have 3xHQ in North Africa; I've destroyed 2 tank corps but there's still a third 12-stength tank corps plus a mechanized corps.

If I turn off FOW there's a solid wall of Italian/German units 3-4 hexes deep attacking Greece, including FOUR Italian HQs... how does Italy afford that? Something like a dozen U-boats all over the map.... plus of course massive forces operating in Russia...

Thanks Crispy - I'm letting the computer handle Russia, so hopefully I'm not doomed!

I think it was the number of U-boats that seemed particularly daunting. Given that it seems to take me at least 15 destroyer or carrier attacks to kill each U-boat, and that most successful attacks take down my strength a point or two, the time and MPPs just consumed by replenishing my ASW forces seems distressing - not even thinking about the convoy losses. Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't seem like the human vs AI advantage is that high with the way the game handles ASW combat. We'll see - escort carriers and airships in the pipeline.

Hi again Crispy - Is the USA not supposed to be able to produce Mechanized units?

Version 11.0 has been uploaded

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9p2uneuxzet92p1/Fall%20Weiss%20v11.0.zip?dl=0

The main changes I've made since 9.1 (available with the DLC) are listed below.

Pro Allied:
- Added some units to USSR Production Que (to assist with 1941-42 Winter Counter Offensive)
- Added some USSR infantry reserve units in 1941 via events (3 Divisions, 2 Corps, 1 Army)
- Added UK Research chit into Infantry Weapons
- Blocked Italian Diplomacy Towards Greece
- Increased USA Industrial Technology multiplier upwards by 5%
- Reduced Italian Battleships to strength 8 to start the campaign
- UK player will now receive Duke of York Battleship (1941) and Howe Battleship (1942) rather then just AI
- Amended Turkish Mobilization After Invasion of Poland
- Changed Iraqi Reinforcements (via situational decision) to produce an Iraqi Garrison instead of an Infantry Division

Pro Axis:
- Added late war German Decision Events to deplete Kriegsmarine of personnel and form Infantry Divisions
- Hungary will now reinforce Fall Blau with an Infantry Corps rather then Infantry Division
- Increased Romania HQ Build Limit by 1
- Reduced German Industrial Tech cost to 125

Neutral:
- Lutzow Decision is now for a Heavy Cruiser

Housekeeping:
- Updated NATO Sprites
- Minor updates (popups, notes to decisions).
- Some changes to AI Units, Diplomacy etc. (Single Player)
- Updated for changes/fixes in BETA patches which went live today as applicable.

Most of these changes were to restore balance as the Axis may have tilted ahead a bit in version 9.1

I sent you a PM with a similar question. If someone has an ongoing game with an earlier version than the latest version 12 - is it possible to load version 12 like a separate mod and start a game also with v12 at the same time as the ongoing game with an earlier version continues?

Also can the mod be loaded if you play on Steam?

QUICK QUESTION; DOWNLOADED THE FILE AND USED THE EDITOR AS YOU SUGGESTED; SAVED AS ANOTHER TITLE.
WENT TO THE GAME AND OPENED IT AND LOADED THE NEW TITLE VERSION; WHEN STARTING IT SHOWED CUSTOM AND SAME
INFORMATION LIKE WITH FALL WEISS 9.1 BUT THEN WHEN LOADED THE GAME AND PLAYED A COUPLE ROUNDS EVERYTHING LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL GAME. MAP/UNITS/NEW UNITS ETC

THOUGHTS/IDEAS?????

Finally got it; for whatever reason every mod I tried to download and install was going into a backup folder. Never would have tried anymore without you help. Thanks again for the mod and the help

...also wanted to say that I greatly appreciate your prior work.

Thanks again for all your hard work. I had a question though about the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty. At first blush, it looks like a one-time offer thing, either invoke it in September 1939 or it becomes unavailable thereafter. But what if Spain comes in as pro-Axis later? From what I read of the Treaty, it wasn't renounced in 1939, both the UK and Portugal reaffirmed it, but both sides agreed the UK hadn't invoked it. This seems to indicate that, in the event of Spain later joining the Axis, the UK very likely would have reconsidered. Does the Treaty ever become available later? If not, it seems Portugal becomes easy pickings for a quick successful 1-turn Axis invasion, but it seems unlikely that the wily Salazar would do nothing if Franco aligned himself with Hitler and Mussolini and was massing forces on his border. Thanks in advance for your answer.

That is strange. The Finns will sign an armistice (if the Allies agree via Decision) if their National Morale dips below 50% in my testing once Finland signed an armistice they simply removed themselves from the war, i.e. no units, and could not be DOW'd again. Was this a single unit outside of Finnish territory? Perhaps you could send me a screenshot of the situation and I can review the scripts.

Thanks for all this info, the unit I see in the image is a German Divison and the order of events show the armistice being subsequently followed by a trigger for Finland to join the Axis. For some reason there must have been more then one Finnish war entry trigger and I will have to remove the additional.

On another note you said Finland can not stay in the war? Could you expand on what led to the armistice, was it a loss of NM objectives?
