@barnee looks interesting, we’ll give that a try, albeit only the Europen side of things
Ideas for global NOs
-
Which thread was that in btw? I remember something else someone came up with vaguely that was a good middle ground too I think.
-
3 units would be 2 INF and a transport, which would cost 8 IPCs after the rebate
-
This is what we modified or added at the Cliffside Bunker.
-$5 for Germany if Germany controls Lenningrad, Stalingrad, and/or Moscow and if there are no allied ships in the Baltic Sea.
-$5 for Germany if Axis control London
-$5 for Japan if Axis control all of China’s original territories.
-$5 for United Kingdom if there are no Axis warships in the Atlantic.
-
How about a slight change to the UK’s NOs:
5 IPCs if the UK controls the following territories: Scotland, United Kingdom (London), Gibraltar, Egypt, and Trans-Jordan. (Awarded to UK Europe Economy for maintaining Home Defence and controlling access to and from the Mediterranean).
5 IPCs if the UK controls the following territories: West India, India (Calcutta), Kwangtung, and Malaya. (Awarded to UK Pacific Economy for keeping the UK’s Asian centres of power intact).
Not quite as unreachable as controlling all original territories, but still rigorous, especially for the UK Pacific.
-
Wove those are very similar to something I proposed a while back:
5 IPCs for BOTH UK economies if the UK controls the following territories: Scotland, Quebec, Gibraltar, South Africa, India, Egypt, and Trans-Jordan and no hostile Axis warships border these territories.
Theme: Supply lines between the United Kingdom and colonial possessions are open. -
Wove those are very similar to something I proposed a while back:
I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what put the idea in my head. Sorry, I’ve been reading the forums a lot lately and things’ve started to become a sort of Axis and Allies stew.

Not saying you stole it….but great minds think alike.
The UK’s lack of NO’s is something I tried to shine a light on when Larry was developing the 2nd edition…but he seemed to ignore the idea.
Even the return of a UK no subs bonus (in the form of no German warships) Or in the form of German subs being allowed to raid from 1 space away from a convoy zone.
-
It does seem that Larry kind of phoned in the UK’s NO. That’s why I’m eagerly watching this topic, hoping for a game changer. Or at least game enhancer.
-
How about the UK gets 5 IPC at the end of any turn in which in has one or more ground units on mainland Europe?
-
That SHOULD A US bonus. They need more offensive oriented bonuses.
It feels like they are too reactionary (take back X, don’t lose Y) and all in the pacific.They should have a homeland bonus for 20
and 2 Pacific bonuses and 2 Atlantic bonuses.Atlantic:
5 IPCs if the Axis controls no territory in the middle east or Africa
5 IPCs for allied Co-occupation of either of the following: Normandy/Bordeaux, Holland/BelgiumPacific
5 IPCs for control of the Philippines
5 IPCs if the Allies control Hawaii, Midway, and any three Japanese islands
