What do you think about implementing respectively national adventeges from 1941 spring (included in Larry Harris tournament rules v 2.0) to the 1942 2ed?
Especialy together with a initialy proposed by Larry Harris new setup.
I think, especialy the Soviet –Japan non aggression treaty would make the game a lot more historical correct.
If you think it would be accepteble the problem is German Scientists national idea is not implementabe to the 1943 2ed, since in 1942 2ed there is no weapon development, so I think, it could be replaced by Fortress Europe (included in Larry Harris tournament rules v 1.3) or some national ideas from Mr. Andersson’s House Rules for Axis & Allies Revised v1.1
Personaly I woul prefer using one or two of national ideas per country, if using this national idea would not destroy the game balance at all.
Also I do not know, wheter the Panzerblitz national idea:
(Panzerblitz THE COLOSSAL PANZERS RUMBLED ACROSS EUROPE AND NORTH AFRICA. THEY WOULD BREACH ENEMY LINES, THEN TURN AND WREAK HAVOC ON THE 38 DEFENDERS. If your attacking forces destroy all defending units in a territory in one cycle of combat; or, if no combat was necessary, any of your surviving tanks in the attacking forces may move 1 territory during the noncombat move phase.)
means, that the tank can move not only to a friendly territory (due to the standard non combat movement rules), but also to enemy controlled (but not enemy occupied territory).
What is correct understanding of it?
I am also afraid, that the Luftwaffe Dive-Bomber national idea:
(EUROPE WAS BLITZED AND BOMBED. THE JU-87 STUKA DIVE-BOMBER, A SMALL PLANE, PLAYED A BIG ROLE. ITS SCREAMING SIREN GENERATED TERROR ON ALL BATTLE FRONTS. Your fighters may conduct first round tactical bombing runs. They are subject to antiaircraft fire as normal. In the first cycle of combat, if there are no defending fighters present, the fighters hit on a roll of 5 or less in land battles only. Any units hit still fire back normally in that round of combat. In succeeding cycles of combat, the fighters hit normally. If defending fighters are present, this first cycle ability is cancelled.)
can make, that the odds in potential intitial G1 battle in West Russia can get slightly towards Germany, but I did not check it out precisely yet.
