Axis and Allies Revised Varient ( historical edition) Phase one proposal (draft)

@Micoom:

SBR rules with escorts etc to phase 3.

Actually we last decided not to make players use their fighter pieces for SBR.
We went for implicit model.
We made LRA (Long Range Aircraft) technology includes esort fighters. You may choose to loose 10 IPC instead of the bomber.

I have added, Neutrals and Italy to Phase 2. And SBR rules with escorts etc to phase 3.

Phase1: Income, Production, National Units, Team Victory Condition, Non-combat Game Sequence
Phase2: Technology, National Advantage, Units, National Victory Condition, Italy 6th player, Neutrals
Phase3: Land combat, Naval combat, New SBR rules

For Phase 1 National units I also like to see 2 advantages for each nation.

Russia;  Roll d6 for each 2 IPC infantries and Roll d6 for each 4 IPC tanks
Germany; 6 IPC SUBS, and also roll d6 for each 2 IPC infantries
UK: 8 IPC fighters and 18 IPC battleships
JAP; 8 IPC figthers and battleships attack and defend on a 5
US; Extra ccapacityon Liberty ships: Always 2 infantry + 1 other land unit. and CA for 13 each (still 2 hits)

yes i support this plan… 2 advantages per nation the outlined plan fore each phase is good as well…

you’ll never be able to justify 2 units for each nation… it’s hard enough justifying 1 for UK and Japan. we can balance out 1 unit per nation but you’ll never balance 10 total types of units. i vote for 1 unit type per nation.

[Imperious Leader]

OK then can the 2 unit idea go into optional rules?

[theduke]

the 1 unit per nation idea is in the optional rules. There has been a lot of confusion over what the phase 1 rules are so I think I’ll create a new topic concerning what I think they are up to now and then we can all be on the same page.

[Imperious Leader]

Ok fine make it so… but what is the final units?

Liberty ships or DD? for usa

Destroyers or BB? for uk

[theduke]

the debate was never settled. i said why i didn’t think it should be liberty ships are no one rebuted. i never thought US DD’s were on the table, it was Essex CVs (cheap because rushed into production and fast) that I thought had the lead spot.
