The first thing that struck me is that Sicily and Southern Italy are land connected. I believe they shouldn't be. Also historically, when the Allied invaded the peninsula in september 1943, they had to mount a sea borne operation, the main force landing at Salerno (not near the strait of Messina). I don't think having Sicily changed much of that, beside denying any threat from there and facilitating air support.

@LaFayette no. redrum helped me out. thanks lafayette.

I figured it out! You have to designate Japan as the initial territoryowner for each of the Kamikaze sea zones! YAAAAAAAAAH

@redrum: I wouldn't mind continuing this when you're less busy.

thanks man.

Apart from Alliance opening move against Austria being too game changing, the other one is Nemo trying to take Sidney. It has a 10% chance of success ( with France help being factored in) but pirate ships being 2 hits you can just hit and run. Australia + NZ is just 7 PU, maybe not worth saving. If Nemo is only meant to be played by AI, then I guess its not a problem.

Right on! Thanks for the info

I figured it out thanks to Hepp's help in private chat. Here was the solution: changeOwnership only seems to work if the players changing ownership are at WAR with each other. So the trigger now has 3 steps. First it changes relationship to WAR. then another trigger does the change in ownership. And then a third trigger changes the relationship back to Allied.

Oh...thanks Cernel, I am new to TA forum so I don't understand it all yet. Thanks beelee, I'll definitely give that a shot!

I like the changes. i thought I saw somewhere else that the color might be changed to more of a blood red look ? So not so bright ? Idk if it'd work or not but the red seems a little too bright to me. My other critique is I prefer the (parentheses) to have a space ( parentheses ) before their content. It makes it easier for me to read, but that just might be a personable problem of my own that I need to learn to live with Great work. I like it. Thank You

@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.

Yah. that was it. And another typo. thanks man

@Hepps Thanks for your help, but I just researched it and found out how to remove the background.

@Cernel well damn. now its working. that so weird. cuz all the other Objectives.Properties files i've checked 'appear" to have linebreaks there. But hey, it worked, so i'm happy. THanks man. When u gonna be back on to continue our game

@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.
