3R  GOLD

3R GOLD (3RG), pronounced Third Reich Gold, allows Computer Third Reich players to change many of the switches and numbers in their Computer Third Reich games. It does this by changing these numbers in the saved game files. You can change switches such as fixing the Suez Canal or turning the AI off. You can change numbers like BRP levels, Growth %'s, BRP Bases, Per Turn Spending Limits, as well as change the numbers of Naval Factors, Air Factors, or number of land units that the 6 major countries have (You cannot change the type of units, just the number of each type).

The instructions show you how to use these numbers to:

• Fix Bugs in the Game - One of the worst bugs is that the computer takes away 25 BRP's from the Russian twice when Eastern Europe is lost, once when the last city is captured and once when the Russians fail to retake the city. The loss of 25 extra BRP's during the dark days of 1941 can be fatal to the Russian. Now, you can simply add them back with 3RG. Using 3RG, you can also fix bugs such as having the USA enter at the correct time and have a proper Siberian Transfer.
• Help Play PBEM Games Better - Have you ever been playing a PBEM game and forgot to turn the Opponents AI off? Ack! What do you do? If you do the turn over, you can get much different results. Now you can simply turn off the AI on your saved game using 3RG. Using 3RG both players can now build SW in secret. For example, in the 1940 YSS, the German builds his SW and builds max ASW for the Allied Player (assuming the Allied player wanted maximum SW builds). Then, before he does his Spring turn, the Allied Player simply uses 3RG to subtract as many ASW factors as he wants and adds a like number of SAC factors. Of course, he doesn't have to change it at all. Now both sides have a secret number of SW builds and types.
• Restore Rule 33 - The Computer version of Third Reich deletes all of Rule 33. If players want, they can now use 33.5 (Intelligence), 33.6 (Foreign Aid), and 33.7 (Turkey as a Minor British Ally).
• Variants - The Computer version of Third Reich also doesn't include the variant chits (Rules 33.1 - 33.4). Now, since players can change so many numbers using 3RG, players can now use the variant chits. 10 variants for each side have been picked and explained from the 20 available for each side in the 4th edition rules.

The instructions (VQ #2) fully explain how to implement the above changes. The CONTENTS of the instructions are:

• INSTALLATION AND USAGE
• INDEX OF CHANGEABLE PARAMETERS
• SQUISHING BUGS
• PBEM AIDS
• RESTORING RULE 33
• VARIANTS

3RG can also be used to make any variants of your own. With over 75 changeable numbers and switches, you can try any number of cool variants knocking around in your head. 3R Gold is for the Campaign Game, Only.

3R GOLD comes on a CD. It is DOS based, so you must have a DOS computer. If your computer can play Computer Third Reich, it should have no problem with 3RG. The CD must be in the CD drive when 3RG is used.
