Great idea. But I’d prefer an online publication. It would have the benefits of a) being free and b)easily changed and updated. At the rate rules are changed it just seems silly to publish such a guide. The minute it is out there will be dozens of changes. Having it online allows it to be updated constantly and allows all of us fanatics to add our two bits (such as house rules and such).

TERM DEFINITIONS

PRODUCTION RESTRICTIONS

All units purchased during the purchase new units phase must be assigned before the combat movement phase to a chosen production facility that will build them during the place new units phase.

Nations may only build minor factories on neutral territories they now occupy regardless of their territorial value.

FIRST STRIKE CAPABILITIES

An ability for certain units that remove enemy casualties off the board immediately when a hit is rolled, therefore preventing a casualty roll (similar to surprise strike).

DOG FIGHTING

All aircraft must resolve a single round of “Dog Fighting” before engaging other land or sea units in 1st general combat round. Dog Fighting is also the round in which defending AA artillery fire at attacking aircraft, however, aircraft hit by AA artillery sill fire at defending aircraft while Dog Fighting.

SUPERIORITY BONUSES

Tanks (not heavy tanks) get a ground superiority bonus applied when the enemy does not have any stronger land units present in battle.
The obsolete War Plane unit has an air superiority bonus applied when the enemy does not have any stronger air units present in battle.
The obsolete Cruiser unit has a sea superiority bonus applied when the enemy does not have any stronger sea units present in battle.

SUPPORT BONUSES

A +1 modifier applied to attack and/or defense values of a unit when paired with a second specified unit during battle (similar to combined arms).

BLOCKING ENEMY MOVEMENT

Territories and sea zones each require a unit (or units) totaling up to 3 or more “block points” in order to block enemy movement.

ESCAPE ATTEMPTS

Some defending units may make a roll prior to their defense roll in an attempt to escape the battle. Submarines may submerge after first round of combat, however… destroyers may engage submerged submarines during remaining combat rounds. Submerged submarines engaged with destroyer require a successful escape roll to avoid hits from enemy destroyers.

CAPACITY LOADS

During both combat and non-combat movement phases, sea transports may only carry a load totalling 3 capacity points.
Rail stations and air transports do not use the capacity point system to determine their cargo size

THE BUILD QUEUE

Certain units must enter the build queue for at least 1 turn before being placed on the board. Players must pay half the unit’s cost to put into the build queue, and than the remaining half later when they wish to take it out of the build queue and onto the board.

OBSOLETE UNITS

Units listed as obsolete in the cost field are pre-war remnant weapons that are deemed old and not available for purchase._

I think a hardcover and online version would be good. Games Workshop does that with their Specialist Games all the time.

Sounds like the way to go in my opinion. If i had the time I’d make it and sell it myself. Then again I’m sure an army of lawyers from WOTC would pursue me across the globe if I did.

crsluggo

I think there are some good ideas here. I would love to have a printed volume that would allow me to look at all the iterations of rules side-by-side.

Allies - Atom Bomb (Fat Man)
_- 1 free Atom bomb token placed in Western United States acting as a super fortress bomber

This token may move up to 8 spaces to target any enemy territory, and is immune to any defences
During Combat movement, an Atom bomb token may be dropped on any enemy territory within range
During Non-combat movement, an Atom bomb token may be deployed to an originally controlled American territory
All production and tactical facilities in the target territory are immediately damaged to maximum levels
Up to 10 land and/or air units (defenders choice) within the target territory must be removed from the board
A bomb marker is placed on the territory with damage chips under it in an amount equal the total IPC value of the targeted territory. The income tracker is adjusted accordingly and these damage markers must be removed in the future in order to collect the territory’s IPC value_

3. Conduct Convoy Raids: Look for any single warship in any Convoy zone, if there is an adjacent territory controlled by a nation at war with that warship, the nation controlling the territory must surrender 3 IPC’s to the bank. Multiple warships in any given convoy zone does not increase this 3 IPC limit, however, If multiple enemy nations own territories adjacent to one convoy zone being raided, they must all surrender 3 IPCs to the bank. If Nova Scotia and London are Allied controlled, Axis warship occupation of an “open sea” Atlantic convoy zone will raid UK Europe for 6 IPCs each.

4. Conduct Partisan Raids: Look for all originally controlled Allied territories now occupied by the Axis with at least one facility on it (not including Islands). The Allies may use their partisan tokens (up to 3 per missions phase) to damage one or more facilities of their choice. Each assigned token will roll @3 or less dealing maximum damage to the facility being raided. However, facilities under attack may use their built in security to roll 1@1 in order to block the raid, and elite infantry stationed within the territory will each receive a 1@2 to avoid sabotage. The Allies begin the game with 12 partisan tokens total, casualties from elite infantry are removed by the Allies, and partisan tokens get zero defense during all block attempts.

5. Conduct Kamikaze Raids: Look for all kamikaze sea zones occupied by Allied surface warships (must be at war with Japan). Japan may use their kamikaze tokens (up to 3 per kamikaze zone) to damage or destroy surface warships of their choice. Each assigned token will roll @3 or less dealing a hit to ships being raided. However, carrier based aircraft or air units eligible to scramble may attempt to block the raid. During this 1 round air battle in which Allied planes intercept kamikaze pilots, Tactical Bombers hit 1@1, and Fighters hit 1@2 (WW1 planes may not intercept). The Japanese begin the game with 12 kamikaze tokens total, casualties from enemy aircraft are removed by Japan, and kamikaze tokens get zero defense during the 1 round air battle.

6. Transport Assignment: Any number of air or sea transport units (including none), may be reassigned to a friendly nation during any special missions turn. Upon approval from the nation that currently controls them, transport units may be swapped out and controlled by the friendly nation of their choice. However, only sea transports adjacent to a friendly naval base, and air transports landed on a friendly air base may be reassigned during the special missions phase.

7. Apply National Advantages:

Special Missions Turn #1 = Enigma decoded
Special Missions Turn #2 = British Radar Tower
Special Missions Turn #3 = Defending the Motherland
Special Missions Turn #4 = Russian Winter
Special Missions Turn #5 = American War Production ï¿½
Special Missions Turn #6 = Super Fortress Bombers
Special Missions Turn #7 = Essex Class Carriers
Special Missions Turn #8 = Russian Rocket Launchers
Special Missions Turn #9 = Banzai Attack
Special Missions Turn #10 = Jet Fighters
Special Missions Turn #11 = Atomic Bomb

VICHY RULES

1. Conduct Vichy France: (“Puppet Government” of Nazi Germany)

If Southern France is attacked before Paris falls, all French units on the board immediately become Free French.
Once Paris falls and becomes occupied by an Axis power, Southern France becomes Vichy, along with all other French units, territories and occupied sea zones on the board (except those units in London which remain “Free French”).
During the Special Missions Phase of each round, eligible nations will participate to “Resolve Vichy” by rolling a sequence of dice in a designated turn order.

Vichy Turn Order:

1. Japan
2. United Kingdom
3. Italy
4. Free French
5. Germany

Resolve Vichy Rolls:

1. Japan:
Japan may choose to attempt a roll @3 and claim the French Indo-China Vichy infantry and territory.

2. United Kingdom:
UK may attempt to destroy all Vichy sea units on the board by rolling 1 die @3 per sea zone in the following order… A-24, M-1, and 1-12. A successful roll for any sea zone will immediately destroy the Vichy ships there in.

3. Italy:
Italy may attempt to control certain Vichy units and territories by rolling 1 die @1 per territory in the following order… Corsica, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Syria.

4. Free French:
Free French may attempt to control Vichy units and territories by rolling 1 die @1 per territory and sea zone in the following order… A-24, M-1, & I-12, Corsica, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, FWA, FCA, FEA, Syria, Madagascar, FIC.

5. Germany:
Germany may attempt to control Vichy units and territories by rolling 1 die @3 per territory and sea zone in the following order… A-24, M-1, & I-12, Corsica, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, FWA, FCA, FEA, Syria, Madagascar.

Roll off to determine who will control the French hybrid ship

@Trisdin:

I have been working for weeks, cutting and pasting everything I can find online onto 1 document just so if I want to verify an updated rule in our global game, I can find it in one place. it is about 80% done but man is it a lot of work. (don’t worry wizard lawyers, I won’t be trying to sell it).

Well I hope you upload it to the site!

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

PRODUCTION FACILITIES

All production facilities may be upgraded 1 level per turn for 10 IPCs each level, provided that all placement requirements have been met.
All units purchased during the purchase new units phase must be assigned (before the combat movement phase) to the production facility that will build them during the place new units phase.
Nations may only build minor factories on neutral territories they now occupy regardless of their territorial value.

TRANSPORTS AS CASUALTIES

Transports may be used as casualties during the resolve combat phase at a rate of 3:1. This means at any time during battle, a player may choose to remove up to 3 transports to absorb a single enemy hit. For example:

If a player has 1 transport in battle, they may choose to use it as a casualty for one hit
If a player has 2 transports in battle and they choose to use transports as casualties, both absorb 1 hit
If a player has 3 transports in battle and they choose to use transports as casualties, all 3 absorb 1 hit
If a player has 4 transports in battle and they choose to use transports as casualties, 3 absorb 1 hit, and the forth transport may absorb a second hit during the same combat round or a hit in a later combat round.
Therefore, if a player has 10 transports in battle, it is enough to absorb up to 4 hits using a sequence of 3,3,3, and 1 as casualties for each hit.
Note that 3 transports must be used as a casualty first before the lesser amount of transport/s if aplicable

THE BUILD QUEUE
