<a name="Neutral Rules">Neutral Rules</a>
Neutrals(normal white ones) require 1 PU per territory to be entered. Those can be attacked without consequences.
Flying over neutral territory is technically possible, but you are not allowed to do it.
Neutrals(Brazil, Spain, Sweden, Turkey) can be attacked, too.
If their territories are not taken completely, they will hand over their remaining territories and units.
Brazil passes over their remains to Italy or Usa. Spain, Sweden and Turkey to Germany or Britain.
Example: Germany attacks Turkey and takes Istanbul and Western Turkey. Units in Turkey and Eastern Turkey are passed over during Germany placement phase to Britain via Edit.
Remove the units first, change the territory owner and then add all those units back with Britain as their owner.
<a name="Fortress, Fortification, Material, new Factory and CombatEngineer">Fortress, Fortification, Material, new Factory and CombatEngineer</a>
In a territory, owned form the start of the turn you can build one Fort or Factory per turn, if 1 Material and 1 CombatEngineer is present.
If a Fortification is already there, you can upgrade it to a Fortress , if 1 Material and 1 CombatEngineer is present.
Each territory can have a maximum of 3 Forts. When the territory has a factory, Forts can be purchased directly, without Material or CombatEngineer.
CombatEngineers act as normal units. Material can only be used as casualty during defense.
1 Fort/Upgrade or Factory per territory per round. Building for your allies is allright.
If you want to build a new factory, buy one and place it or save PUs and build it with 2 Material and 1 Combat Engineer.
Do all those build actions via Edit during your placement phase, removals included. Material is consumed for these builds, the CombatEngineer not, of course.
<a name="Transports">Transports</a>
Unloaded Transports(Sea or Air) must not be used as casualties during an attack.
Best moved during non combat phase. Transport costs differ from ww2v3 1941, check the unit list.
Loaded Transports can be used as casualties during an attack.
<a name="Unit takeover and the use of the Edit function">Unit takeover and the use of the Edit function</a>
Britain controls units from Canada, Australia, India, Egypt and South Afica automatically.
Germany controls units from Vichy France, DanubeAxis and Finnland and Japan those from Manchuria, however these takeovers has to be edited.
During Germanies Placement phase, open Game->Edit, select add units,add the same units you just produced for VichyFrance,HunRomBul and Finnland to those territories, but now for Germany.
Then hold ctrl and left click on those Units with the red E in this territory and select remove units. Same method for Manchuria-Japan.
The same method has to be used when you want to build a Fortification or upgrade it to a Fortress. Add the new unit, remove the old ones.
Please watch out while doing this and do it correctly.
<a name="Land Lease for Russia">Land Lease for Russia</a>
3 Units can be given as help: Artillery, Armour and Material( Those are Land Lease Units).
Russia can recieve 2 Land Lease Units per round from Britain and Usa( max 4 Units per round). It does not matter where those units are given.
They have to be in an adjacent territory and they must have left 1 movement point, like you would normally move them in.
If those conditions are met, you can edit these units to their new owner.
<a name="Nations, Restrictions and Production">Nations, Restrictions and Production</a>
Chinas movement is restricted to their territories including Mongolia, Tibet, Hainan, Formosa, Korea, Manchuria and Japan. Included SZ 95-99.
Russia is part of the Allies, however no Western Allies units can move into Russias original owned territories(+Western Ukraine,Eastern Poland and Belorussia).
Active Neutrals are restricted to their own territory, they never attack.
Some nations are less advanced in production, which results in 2 diffrent production frontiers.
Nations with full productivity are: Germany, Russia, Japan, Britain, Canada, Australia, Italy and Usa.
All others have simple production.
<a name="Canals">Canals</a>
Your side has to hold the territory from start of the turn to allow passing through it. They are marked with red lines.
Suez Canal: Cairo and Sinai
Panama Canal: Panama
Strait of Gibraltar: Gibraltar
Copenhagen Sea Minefields: Copenhagen, Copenhagen:Denmark
Phillippine Canals: Luzon:Phillippines Islands, Phillippines Islands:Phillippines
Strait of Malacca: Maylay:Sumatra
Dardanelles: Istanbul:Western Turkey
<a name="Problems,Bugs and Improvements with the next TripleA release">Problems,Bugs and Improvements with the next TripleA release</a>
The next release should support unit takeover for more than 1 nation, so Edit for Germans and Japans minor allies should be automated, like it is for Britains minor allies.
Naval- and Airbases will be improved, and I plan to integrate them.
Technology will be improved and I plan to integrate it, as well as the new AirTransports.
Paratrooper tech currently causes problems like Armour move through enemy territory without combat, but units are present. Therefore disabled.
Paratroopers can only be moved into combat while airdrop, this will change with new AriTransports and the "Armour move" problem will be solved.
If you find additional strange things, please let me know.

Suggestions, critisicm, feedback, balance issues and error reports are very welcome, please post them in the Triplea-Maps and Mods-Total World War thread.
Sea Zone names like in ww2v3 1941 need to be done. Relief Tiles for Land and Sea would be nice. Some nice decorations, too.
If you can contribute, post it in the thread and if I like it, I will integrate it.
National Objectives will be overworked and integrated.
Victory Conditions based on Victory Cities and Economic Victory(will be possible for v3 soon).
All those things i probably have forgotten.</b>
