@FranceNeedsMorePower good point
Improved Research and Development 1940 Second Edition
-
Nuclear Bombers: Your heavy bombers are now nuclear bombers. When attacking, whether in a battle or a bombing raid, roll six dice instead of two.
as you were saying roll six dice but in normal combat you can do only 1 casualty so what is the point with that?
and second if you have “Nuclear Bombers” you can better do roll 2 or 3 dice choose your dice to use and count the dice both instead of 1
but great house rules when a friend comes over I will test them
-
@doomer1940 First of all thanks for responding! Second of all no, you can deal more than one casualty. How it works is in combat you roll two dice for heavy bombers. Just like regular bombers you hit on a four. You deal the same number of casualties as the dice that rolled fours. The same goes for nuclear bombers except your roll six dice instead of two.
-
@doomer1940 unlike the regular 1940 r&d rolls, you don’t select the best roll out of the two, or six, you use all of them. The only time you select the best roll is with improved battleships where the rules should states that that is what your should do.
-
can you point out in the rules were that is I always thought that it was my way in the rule book
heavy bomber: your strategic bomber are now heavy bombers. when attacking, whether in a battle or in a strategic bombing raid, roll two dice for each bomber and select the best result.
that means you can throw 2 dice and you choose the best from the 2 not do 2 casualty’s
for my understanding -
@doomer1940 Yes you are exactly right, that is what it says in the normal 1940 r&d rules, however, the rules for mine do not say you select the best result because I think that’s boring.
-
wait i was to fast replying I didn’t saw your second post.
is that not OP you think then you are capable of destroying a major factory (damage to the lowest point possible)
and you can do it then with everything that is a building
and if you spend for germany 30 or 45 on it and you can “farm” it if you are lucky you can choose still how you say it go for strategic bomber and you are capable of destroying
36 if you are lucky that is 4 or 5 from the hole russian setup in 1 blow so tobruk or turkey 1 hit gone amphibious assault 1 hit gone most of the time right? -
and I think it’s a good idea to get 1 roll from the start of the game for free for a different game every time and with the patrol boat sorry but you need extra pieces and I realy don’t so the point of buying them in game for 1 ioc more you got a submarine and with the tech now that can be a lot more worth
-
Yes it is very powerful. Like I mentioned above, this blends a multitude of other people’s rules together. It draws heavily on a set of rules I have printed out from a while back, which I can’t track down right now, which is where I got that particular rule from. I’m thinking about a few possible edits for it, like adding more researches per category, so that its less likely that you get a nuclear bomb early game. Or perhaps I will make it so it’s only four dice instead of six, or that each bomber can only drop one nuclear bomb each turn, or something similar. Again I’m open to suggestions. My brother is pestering me to allow artillery to make bombardments, and other changes so the rules will probably be nothing like how they were when they started.
-
well the point of the patrol boat is it’s like the infantry of the sea, a decent defender but otherwise garbage. Also their were many, many, patrol boats used during the war on every side which made hydrofoils rather important. Also I originally made these rules just for me and my friends but they pressured me to post it so I did. I didn’t have to buy pt boats, because I found a nice model on thingiverse and printed it on my hobbyist 3d printer at home. Obviously it won’t work for everyone so I can provide some other options to u-boat in (get it? instead of sub in? No? Yeah it was bad) like destroyer bombardment.
-
I know this is not related to this but you you play with other house rules?
-
And instead of getting one roll maybe each country starts with a specific research.
-
Yes I play with a set of elite infantry rules that I’ve developed, although I do not like it as much as I like my research rules. the idea of national advantages has always interested me although I’ve never implemented them. Also I think it would be cool if people national control markers were placed in a hat/cup/etc. and drawn at the beginning of each round to determine turn order. I haven’t implemented that either because i think it would make tracking ipcs even more tedious
-
hallo I have tweaked it a little bit and now i have this as rules
the rest is the same as yoursAAA rocket battery to land units research
naval units: i don’t have the boat so no research for itfor aerial units: I have long range set for 2 spaces and nuclear set to 3 dice and all do damage and no +2 anymore
I have 2 tier in war bonds first 1 is the normal 1 and tier 2 is that you trow 2 dice and choose
special research:
sabotage I set it to choose 1 country roll a six sided dice if it lands on 1 you stall 3 units in the enemy mobilization phasenew rule tier 1 field logistics: every ground unit gets a +1 move stat in the no combat move
tier 2 field logistics: defenders have now the option to retreat 1 space back to friendly territory
cruise missile is the same
and ballistic missile can target now 2 infantry or 1 infantry and 1 artillery or 1 other unit and it can hit capital ships because of the size this is my thing now maybe you see something point it out that really helps e -
I understood very little of that from the typos but what I did understand, I was able to appreciate why you did that. I won’t try and copy your work and pass it off as mine. Cheers!
-
I do have one suggestion for field logistics though… maybe you add in somewhere that during the he passive move, your units can move one space, before or after offloading or onloading onto a transport
-
what are the think you don’t understand then maybe help you understand better
and I update it now so maybe you understand it better now
and this is just me but the rules you have for nuclear still are OP i think mine is a little bit less OP -
@doomer1940 I agree with you I’m working on fixing it
