Thanks so much for clearing that up!
Kamikazes for Japan, what for Germany???
-
Japan gets Kamikazes will Germany get some kind of Blitzkreig
-
I doubt it because of mech inf but I really don’t know.
-
Well the original Europe board gave Germany better tank defence which everyone has now and 1 sub free each turn. Would not be surprised with the free sub a turn thing in this new board.
-
Free sub? Better tanks?
Those were probably house rules?

Yes, I don’t recall these either. I know in D-Day the German tanks were better on defense than the Allied ones, but that’s the only OOB example I can remember.

I don’t remember those rules either. Where did those rules come from?
-
Germany (and, in fact, all other powers) will NOT have a ‘special’ national ability. Larry Harris already confirmed this on his site.
-
Well that finishes that
-
Nothing is ever finished around here just because Larry said something. We are still talking about Canada as a power and US having a split income.
-
I’m hoping for a Hitler Youth rule, where after 8 turns all German infantry attack and defend on a one!
-
Germany had worse tanks than the Russians.
I like Idealogical Warfare: Whenever Germany captures a land territory from the USSR it gains one free infantry there to represent local anti-communists (Germany had about 1 million such recruits).

that would be stupid no affense, and isnt kamikazies helpful??(dont own the game but i think it would help japan right?)
so hittler youth would make it harder for germany to win, by alot!! -
I can hope for whatever rules I want!

Taking that “Hitler Youth” thing a step further, what would really be awesome (in some future game, obviously not in aa40) would be a kind of “population limit thing” where the total amount of units you could have in play at a time would be limited based on the territories you had, or something like that. Thoughts? Does anyone think that the game will ever evolve to be that advanced?
-
Doubt it. You may want to try Third Riech if you want a more in depth game.

Along these lines, I’ve always thought the game could benefit from a ‘Conscript’ rule. Conscripts are units that cost 2 IPCs each and can be placed on any territory a power controls, in numbers up to the value of that territory. This would represent the ability of nations to draft large masses of poorly-trained soldiers whose main function was to serve as rearguards and cannon fodder.
Cost: 2
Attack: 0 (increases to 1 if paired with Artillery)
Defence: 1
Move: 0 (increases to 1 if paired with non-Conscript land unit)So, for example, the UK could pay 4 IPCs to drop 2 Conscripts in Egypt at the end of the turn, to help hold the territory.
Conscripts are just buffer units whose main ability is to take a hit for a more expensive unit; the only real advantage in buying them is their flexibility in placement. (If you have older editions of A&A you can use different colours of Infantry to represent Conscripts: brown for the USSR, grey for Germany, mint green for UK, yellow for Japan.)

i like that idea, but the draw back it would be hard to keep track of which unit is the conscript
-
I think Germany should get a free industrial complex for every territory they take to reflect the new slave labor gained.
-
Lol they didnt actually do that. Most joined willingly

When you say willingly, you mean they took that other than the other choice of death.
So I guess all the Jews willingly went to the concentration camps.
