Chaos in the Balkans:
Hungary and Romania are at war, Germany has annexed Austria, Yugoslavia suffered an unfortunate die role and has been forced to disintegrate into a Pro-Fascist Croatian state and a smaller Serbia. Italy managed to seize Albania without loss, and Czechoslovakia is reinforcing its border with the Nazis.
The UK has pledged to declare war on any power invading Greece.

Swedish Disaster:
The Swedes attempted to peacefully take over Norway to prevent any major nations from entering Scandinavia, but the plan backfired. Not only did another unfortunate die role cause the Norwegians to resist, but the German and British players were offended by the assault, and Germany turned a blind eye to a British force that liberated the Norwegians and devastated Sweden’s hopes of a powerful, neutral, United Scandinavian state.

Spain in Flames:
The civil war rages on in Spain, just as a deadly naval encounter ended in mutual annihilation for the Nationalists and Republicans. The free world does not want a Fascist Spain, and the U.S. Player has sent generous air aid to the Republicans. With Franco’s Army of Africa having headed for the mainland, I, as France, took advantage and seized their Moroccan colony. Unfortunately, I earned a -1 diplomacy points for this “aggressive” act.
AARHE: Phase 2: Units
-
um no… 3 units targetted coastal bombardment costs 5
-
I think this may be worthwhile. only cost is 5 because it should also be more than just coastal defense… it that infrastructure defense thing right?
lets just have one idea covering all these items. The Anti aircraft gun is both for AA shots against planes, and coastal defense ( AKA “guns of Navarone”)
-
yeah if we have this coastal gun thing it’ll be under the ID game piece replacing AA game piece
I wasn’t talking about costs though
I was talking about how many hits , hitting on what and the dice value.
-
I was talking about how many hits , hitting on what and the dice value.
++++ it should be probably the same whether as anti-air or against naval targets…
under AA roll 1, roll again 1=hit, 2-3 plane goes back.
how bout under coastal batteries in the selected territories (against naval targets) roll 1, then roll again 1-3 =hit, 4-6 nothing
When an invasion occurs:
- these units get to roll once on planes and once against the naval targets.
-
proposing a rule for repair of damaged Battleships…
Damaged BBs are repaired at sea zones adjacent to friendly territories. They are repaired at the beginning of your next turn.
(We could even limit it to friendly territories with an IC or VC.)
-
BB’s were very complex and took massive workshops to repair back to fighting conditions (not like refitting at sea…) Next to VC’s or IC’s…
GG
-
Yea this is correct: “Next to VC’s or IC’s.”
-
ok adding to draft
-
IC (industry complex) gets 3 IDs built-in
VC (victory city) gets 1 ID built-inI feel its too powerful
its making people build IC when they don’t really want one (just for the 3 free IDs)I am thinking of reducing it to 2 or even 1 IDs built-in per IC
-
or perhaps the cost of IC should go up?
I suppose 2 is fine.
but remember the 3 represents the number of rolls total. so if you bring in 5 planes only 3 get rolled on.
-
yeah each ID only targets one
-
make a list of changes as we go along or we will forget something.
-
actually I’ve been adding them to my “phase 3” copy
I resume my compiler job right?
-
yes indeed!… get back to work! :-D

In AARHE INF (infantry) are built at VCs. Other units like ARM (tank) are built at ICs.
This was to stop massive infantry build and infantry stack at ICs.
We also have a cost model with INF costing between 2-4 IPCs.Now we introduced PARA (paratrooper) and MECH (mechanized infantry).
*where to build? need to stop them being massed in one turn in one spot?
*cost? US/UK INF (infantry) at minor VC costs 4 IPC alreadyI propose…
PARA: build at VC, cost “INF + 1”
MECH: build at IC with VC, cost “INF + 1”But then its weird if PARA or MECH becomes 5 IPC at some point.
-
Why not use the rules that we had in that other thread regarding paratroopers….?
It was the same one that had the bit about transport planes… about a month ago?
Also mech infantry is more like another armor unit. It should not fall into the limitations of infantry builds.
Its its own thing. The original idea should be kept
I think it was attack at 2, defend at 2 cost 4, move 2… can be allocated as armor hit when a tank or artillery would normall take the loss.
I think it should be boosted with artillery +1 at 1/1… this would give it the power in the game to be a needed unit. It would also allow for combined arms
they would also be able to blitz like tanks
on transports they count as armor.

It was the same one that had the bit about transport planes… about a month ago?PARA (paraptrooper), MECH (mechanized infantry) and TP (transport plane) are all in
yes MECH is 2/2 move 2 cost 4
I only make it to blitz when matched 1-to-1 with tanks though
I mean should mechanized infantry cut through butter the way tanks do?Also mech infantry is more like another armor unit. It should not fall into the limitations of infantry builds.
oh I was thinking mechanised infantry is still mostly infantry
have you got some stats about how many % infantry in mechanized divisions and tank divisions?so PARA built at VC right?
costs?
INF (infantry) at US/UK minor VCs are 4 IPC alright
without changes only PARA would come out of minor VCs lol -

have you got some stats about how many % infantry in mechanized divisions and tank divisions?++++++this would be different for each nation based on need… however the soviets had alot of mechanized divisions about 1/3 of all her land divisions in total were purely mech infantry, while italy had few… Germany had a bit more , while americans mostly had mobile infantry… you may even call them all mechanized infantry.
OK i guess it can be part of the infantry limitations, but it should be counted as an armor in terms of combat causalties. So if tanks get a hit the defender can now select artillery, mech, or tank as combat loss.
so PARA built at VC right?
+++++ yescosts?
+++++ Id would limit para builds based on nation it should cost 5 for parathey are at 2/2 but attack on first round at 3
Limits:
USA 6
UK 4
GERMAN 5
Italy 2
Russia 3
Japan 3INF (infantry) at US/UK minor VCs are 4 IPC alright
without changes only PARA would come out of minor VCs lol++= yea right. Para are specialized trained troops. they should be raised only in selected areas.
-
Maybe then also use build limits on Mech INF, but for the US unlimited.
-
Not sure about that… could be potential disaster… only infantry should be limited.
then we would have to also limit artillery and even tanks…and this is not good either.
why should their be limits on mech infantry?
