@midnight_reaper that’s a cool idea and I might have to try it. However I don’t like the idea of getting advancements for free, which is why I like some sort of facility to buy. Since the G40 R&D board seems to have the better advances on one side I’d say you have to roll a 1-4 to get the 1 column, and 5-6 to get the second. Maybe even through in an added cost to get 1-3 & 4-6. But again with that, I think countries should have to build the facilities in their capitol instead of anywhere and starting with them.
Franklin's House Rules [G40]
-
I’ve uploaded the list of house rules I’ve come up with here:

I’d appreciate your thoughts on these.I’m currently running a (test) game using these house rules (using my “Turn Order, Version 2”), taking several days to think about each team’s decisions. So far, it’s just England (and what little remains of France’s fleet) against the Nazis and the Fascists in the European theater, with only China fighting against Japan in Asia, with America and the Soviets still on the sidelines. I’m currently writing up Turn 3 for the Allies. I’m keeping detailed reports of each team’s turn. When I get to a stopping point (i.e. when I think my scenario has played out to a good background for an alternate timeline setting for one of my RPG campaigns), I’d be happy to share these write-ups, if any of you are interested.
Thanks,

Seems pretty good. Looks like a lot more money for the Allies. Might be required since the UK is so busted up. Seems like you’d always J1 given that the US is already making 5 bucks off Japan anyways.
