I have a expansion set in my closet that I bought in probably '94-'96 that starts around '40 and has rules for how and when Russia and US enter the war. When Germany takes France, you roll a die to determine whether French territories + troops are either Vichy or Free French, and whether the French Navy is Vichy, Free or scuttled. ( I think the Free French are played by the UK). Haven’t played it in years. I think it was by Xeno Games and called “The World at War”. Also had destroyers and some other cool changes.
New rules
-
Surrender-the defender may surrender all of his troops to the enemy before each round of combat. The remaining infantry have a movement of 1 under the enemies control during non-combat movement. If you capture a territory where your prisoners are or prisoners from your team they are freed and remain in that territory. All armour or artillery are taken from the board and replaced with the capturers pieces. Fighters and bombers may now retreat at any time to a friendly country.
what do you think?

i think this rule is needlessly confusing because it’s not that beneficial or realistic for going through the added hassle of keeping enemy units on the board as prisoners. i also think this topic should be moved to house rules forum.
