• Iffy we add more territories, then more income and free lend lease are the way to go.


  • No the idea is to take the 20 currently on germany and add it to other german new territories.

    north germany can be 10
    southern germany can be 5
    Poland can be 5
    or

    add baltic states, low countries, add money to finland/ norway

    their are many things to do.

    I would like to see EE broken a bit into poland, and money to finland 2, norway 1, poland 2, southern germany 5= 10 thats all you need.  another idea is to make germany into 3 territories: Ruhr, southern, northern or Ruhr, western and eastern ( more historical)


  • @Imperious:

    if its free and does not come from allied pockets than germany has to have more income
    if its something that the allies have to ‘spend’ then germany can get away with a little less money being added to her territories. perhaps none.

    I prefer no free lend-lease with little less money added to Germany.

    Currently:
    US +12 IPC lend-lease only
    Japan +2 IPC
    Italy +2 IPC
    Germany +10 IPC

    If we get rid of free 12 IPC lend-lease…can we do with just adding 2 IPC to Germany?

    New territory near Switzerland has the benefit of Germany maintaining borders and not causing logistic changes.
    2 IPC new territory sort of inside Germany.

    Western/Eastern Germany is a bigger change. Though you get a better race better USSR and US/UK.
    6 IPC West, 6 IPC East?

    Or we could do with a 2 IPC Low Countries.

    Lets not introduce too many new territories.


    Yes China (like Itlay) is also only for phase 3 map.
    A defense bonus is also a solution.
    Italy is already not the most fun player to play. China even less so.


  • @Imperious:

    No the idea is to take the 20 currently on germany and add it to other german new territories.

    I meant this. take the 20, means more IPC… Normal is 10…

    Adding only a territory of 2 ipc, could aslo be the way. No major change. Low Countries, could be added yes but this will give Germany another territory to defend against invasions from the sea… So maybe South Germany or Austria is a better option…


  • Yeah.
    Could call it South Germany, German Alps or the historical name for the region.
    And then give it mountainous terrain. For the defense bonus.


  • and what about the poland idea and the idea of getting a couple of bucks to finland?

    we got to sort out 10 bucks.


  • and what about the poland idea and the idea of getting a couple of bucks to finland?
    we got to sort out 10 bucks.

    Wait aren’t we going the no free lend-lease with less money added approach?

    20 IPC Germany isn’t realistic.
    Inflating Europe here and there isn’t neither. Consider IPC proportion of overall map.

    How many IPC should Germany have?
    Add only 2 IPC Southern Germany would make Germany 32 IPC.
    But Africa and Middle East is Italy’s job.

    Btw, should Switzerland be Mountainous too?


  • Wait aren’t we going the no free lend-lease with less money added approach?

    ++++ ok that makes my job easier. how much can USA and UK loan to the Soviets?  How will this effect germany on the phase 3 map? they are in the hole a large chunk of money…

    20 IPC Germany isn’t realistic.
    Inflating Europe here and there isn’t neither. Consider IPC proportion of overall map.

    +++++ i had some new ideas… normal germany goes to 12 ipc, finland is added 1 (its a seperate territory), Southern Germany is 5 IPC, and we give germany 2 IPC from sewden as aid representing iron ore deposits. That would make up for the 10 and it only involves one additional territory…

    How many IPC should Germany have?
    Add only 2 IPC Southern Germany would make Germany 32 IPC.
    But Africa and Middle East is Italy’s job.

    Btw, should Switzerland be Mountainous too?

    +++++ yes and south germany as well. Norway should be as well.


  • How would you like to split Eastern Europe? I mean you get Poland, and what else? Make it one extra step from Germany to Karellia. I like adding the new territories, and keeping the free lend lease of 12 IPC. But only if Germany is no higher then 12.

    So you will get;
    Germany 12
    Southern Germany 5
    Finland 3
    Poland 3
    Eastern Europe (or new name) 2


  • So you will get;
    Germany 12
    Southern Germany 5
    Finland 3
    Poland 3
    Eastern Europe (or new name) 2

    NO.

    you will get;
    Germany 12
    Southern Germany 4
    Finland 1
    Poland 3

    before it was germany 20. the extra 10 is distributed in this new manner.

    US lend-lease is 12 IPC. Italy Map makes it free.

    20 IPC Germany isn’t realistic.
    Inflating Europe here and there isn’t neither. Consider IPC proportion of overall map.

    Yes only one additional territory.
    But thats territory wise.
    I meant IPC wise.
    If we inflating Europe and US lend-lease IPC then the game changes a bit. Japan becomes much smaller. UK and Russia does have US lend-lese but now becomes more passive. Japan is only given +2 IPC you know.


  • But free lend-lease is good. Models excess supplies.

    So we could go free lend lease but not all 12 IPC.
    This preserves decision making for US yet models excess supplies.

    US: 6 free lend-lease
    Germany: 10
    South Germany: 2
    Poland: 2

    Previously
    US +12
    Germany +10
    Japan +2
    Italy +2

    Now
    US +6
    Germany +4
    Japan +2
    Italy +2

    Now the IPC proportions are less changed.
    Map changes (territory and income) should be where really necessary.


  • Is 6 free lend lease enough compensation for not allowing western allied troops in russia?

    ill look at the map and offer some ideas to solve this.


  • @Imperious:

    Is 6 free lend lease enough compensation for not allowing western allied troops in russia?

    Lend lease itself (12 IPC) is compensation for not allowing western Allied troops in Russia.
    6 IPC free lend lease is compensation for larger Axis in Italy map. (+2 Italy, +2 Japan and +4 Germany)

    +2 Japan and +2 Italy is unchanged from before.
    Only change is…

    Previously
    US +12
    Germany +10

    Now
    US +6
    Germany +4


  • Ok so the only map change ( on phase 3 map)  at this point will be this correct?

    Germany: 10
    South Germany: 2
    Poland: 2

    And you will change the ruleset to reflect the new lend lease rules correct?


  • take a look its done. look under map files.


  • looks good!  But also put a Mountainous comment in Switzerland and Norway.

    Now move on to the China territories.  The Xeno WaW has 6 territories in a 1939 setup. The Revised Kwantung area is also split into 2 territories… Should we also do this in AARHE? That would mean Japan gets 1 extra territory. Then I would rather have Manchuria be cut in half, and Korea being added.  China and Sinkiang both split, so it will be four territories. Will we add some IPC values? I think we should, or 4 times 1 IPC or 2,2,0,0 territories?


  • Well the problem is that messes up Japan alot, while we really didnt change the victory conditions of the game. If we went with nationsl victory conditions then i think it could work because japane would no longer have to attack russia to win and it would actually be a bad idea. So unless we make it a bad idea for japan then those territories have to stay as they are….however if the travel path of the 2 new territories does not cost Japan any additional spaces to reach russia via kwaungtung or FIC then i suppose i can make it work.


  • If you don’t change Kwantung, then the 2 extra territories won’t mess with the Japan run for Moscow (which I don’t really like… but indeed, we need other victory conditions then…) So you could add them. Adding Korea wouldn’t be a problem also, because it would not cover the whole coast…


  • Well we have national VC but its optional rules. If you want me to make a special version just for you i can? just how would you like it?
