@LaFayette To be clear, I was referring to the proper rules, notwithstanding the TripleA behaviour. The list would be a lot shorter and simpler (relatively!) if one would document only the TripleA behaviours (as TripleA ignores a lot of the arguably many small differences between rulesets). However, that would be to some extent an exercise in guessing, as TripleA has a v1 default that is not even fully consistent, then has a v2 general property that I'm not aware is document anywhere what is actually doing (so, unless I'm missing something, only a developer can know what that property is doing), then has no general property to tell v2 LHTR apart, then has no general property (aside a fake one for v3) to tell apart the behaviours of whatever from v3 onwards. So, I think the only possible way for anyone to do it would be by looking at the basic games and just document how each happens to work for some TripleA version, which, at least for a non-developer, would pretty much mean taking all those "main" games and playtest everything, see what happens. I'm not trying to discourage anyone to do it and certainly it would be something good to have. Even better it would be good to have three such lists, one for the rulesets as TripleA enforces them, one for the rulesets as they should rather be and another one for the differences between these two lists of differences.

Thanks for clarification, if I could summarize: V2: casualties simply get to fire back if a destroyer is present V3+: first strike is removed if opposing side has a destroyer @Cernel regarding LL, with two rolls against a 4: 1/9 chance for 0 hits 4/9 chance for 1 hit 4/9 chance for 2 hits The odds are really good you'll get at least one hit, if not 2. With just one roll, you have a 1/3 chance for the 2nd hit, with the two dice you have slightly better odds for two hits. That means in LL, when attacking a naval fleet, you'd expect more often to have more casualties attacking with 2 subs and a bomber than you would 2 bombers (even though the attack power is the same). Personally I think a big misnomer of LL is that players reduce risk and/or are not playing odds. With subs, fighters and surface fleets, in LL you can get 3 hits with an attack power of as little as 8. Meanwhile a defender if rolling together will not have a chance for 3 hits until you get a power of at least 13, and below 12 there is a chance to have only one return hit.

@Cernel Here is the panel The trick is that A&B start at war and the real players randomly ally with A or B. A & B are nominal players with no territories or units.

does it really? I didn't see it in notes, and when i tested it by attacking a British destroyer in a sz adjacent to a British carrier loaded with planes, no scramble option presented itself. What am I missing?

@Frostion I am actually close to getting something working. <attachment name="conditionAttachmentJapaneseEnemyUnitPresent" attachTo="Japanese" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="enemyPresenceTerritories" value="all" count="each"/> </attachment> <attachment name="triggerAttachmentJapaneseEnemyUnitCount" attachTo="Japanese" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachmentJapaneseEnemyUnitPresent"/> <option name="resource" value="PUs"/> <option name="resourceCount" value="1"/> <option name="when" value="after:BBidplace"/> </attachment> The trigger is not firing, but I am getting close to having a way of counting all enemy units and all friendly units. I can then use the difference for some rough handicapping. In many scenarios, there is no obvious historical (or hypothetical) conflict. This way I can just assign random sides and balance them, rather than having a free-for-all, which I find makes for uninteresting play.

You're right...I was just hoping someone knew offhand. I did a quick test on a different map and was pleasantly surprised that yes, you can set it zero! example: <option name="createsResourcesList" value="0:PUs"/>
