AARHE: Phase 3: Revised NA's

Generals:
Each nation can allocate one leader for a combat modifier which gives all units it is with a +1 combat modifier for either attack or defence. If the combat lasts only one round this leader is committed to remain in the territory until that nations following turn. Otherwise the leader can be simply placed in any other controlled territory and used for operations on the following turn. If a leader is “stuck” in a territory and the forces he is with are destroyed in the first round then the general is killed in battle. Only one General can affect a single combat and the general can lead allied troops in battle, except of course no western Allied /Soviet forces can occupy or be modified together. Generals only work to command and modify land forces.

this is borrowed from another game and not risk. Its called …    The War game:World War two  and its not even out yet.

Ok hers are more refined ideas:

Commerce Raiders: your transports can now make attacks against unescorted enemy transports. They attack at 1.

Hitler youth: Any time the allies control any territory adjacent to Germany you recieve one free infantry per turn

Alpen festung: The German player is allowed to create a “national redoubt” if the territory of Germany has been attacked by allied forces. Under combat German units can retreat to this protected area even if all adjacent areas of the map are controlled by allied forces. (use switzerland as this new area). Furthermore the Germans get to keep the income of germany even if its subsequently captured by the allies. The allies do not gain in the income if this option is used. The Allies must make a further attack and all alied attacks must score two hits just to remove one unit. Hits are allocated one unit at a time.

SS Panzers:
Designate one tank unit and it attacks at a 5 and defends at 5.

London blitz:
German fighters (use divebombers if playing with optional units) may now participate in SBR attacks on England. They cause damage only on rolls of 1-3 with damage equal to what was rolled.

Pocket battleship
designate one destroyer which can now take two hits and conduct shore bombardment. In other respects it performs like a Battleship Jr.

Z-plan
The German player rolls three D6. The result equals the total of free IPC that must be spent on naval units this turn. Additional IPC may be allocated from your normal income to complete purchases.

Blitzkreig
If you have at least once each of the following you may roll one additional dice hitting at 3 in combat: one Infantry, Artilillery,Tank, and Fighter

Fifth colum:
You convert one neutral one level toward your side each turn.

Operation Isabella
Spain is an immediate ally to germany as long as the axis first control the suez and gibralter.

for UK

Saturation bombing
SBR attacks against German targets can exceed the value of the territories value.

Germany National Advantages  (Revised list)

1. Panzer Grenadiers
During World War II, the Germans had troops that were designed for fighting alongside tanks. These were fully motorized units, so that they could at all times keep up with the tanks. Each of your tanks gives one matching infantry one additional movement allowance. The tank and the infantry unit must leave from the same territory.

2. Atlantic Wall
The Germans fortified the European beaches with massive defensive concrete blockhouses that formed part of the German defensive "Atlantic Wall”. During any amphibious assault against Axis controlled Western Europe (except for African territories), all your infantry defend on a 3 during the first cycle of combat.

3. Fortress Europe
By protecting the Third Reich on all sides, Germany built fortified defensive lines and established strongpoint on key terrain in Europe. Your artillery in German territories defends on a 3.

4. German 88’s
During the first cycle of combat only, on Attack and Defence, your artillery fire in the Conduct Opening Fire phase (instead of the Attacking Units fire and Defending Units fire phases respectively). Casualties are removed immediately. When declared, place 2 free artillery in any Gray territory you control, during the Mobilize Units phase of this turn only.

5. Panzer blitz
If your attacking forces destroy all defending units in a territory in one cycle of combat, any of your surviving armor may move 1 territory during non-combat movement.

6. Afrika Corps
Once per game place 2 infantry, 1 artillery, and 2 Armor for free in Libya if the Axis control it, during your Mobilize Units phase.

7. Volkstrum infantry
Once per game, the German player may purchase Infantry for 2 IPC each. This cannot be performed unless a territory adjacent to Germany, is controlled by any Allied player.

8. SS Panzer.
These may be built, 1 per turn. A maximum of 4 can be on the map at any time. They are built as and have the same attributes as Heavy Tanks without requiring the Heavy Tank technology. In combat they may ignore the 1st hit assigned to them as they take two hits to destroy and all their attacks are rolled pre-emptively.

9. Albert Speer & German Industrial rationalisation
On turn 5  the territory of Germany is worth 10 additional IPC per turn. (but the original value for any strategic attacks & original value under Allied  occupation).

10. Defend the homeland
Once per game the German player may call up to six infantry when the territory of Germany itself is under attack. (money for these units paid for on the following turn even if your getting them this turn).

11. Commerce Raiders: your transports can now make attacks against unescorted enemy transports. They attack at 1.

12. Hitler youth: Any time the allies control any territory adjacent to Germany you recieve one free infantry per turn

13. Alpen festung: The German player is allowed to create a “national redoubt” if the territory of Germany has been attacked by allied forces.

19. Fifth colum:
You convert one neutral one level toward your side each turn.

20. Operation Isabella
Spain is an immediate ally to germany as long as the axis first control the suez and gibralter.

21.German Infrastructure
At the start of WW II Germany had the best road and rail network of Europe. During the Non Combat Move phase all German ground units in Germany itself gain a plus 1 movement modifier.

22. German Propaganda
The Germans were masters of propaganda, spearheaded by Goebels. Through out the war, the Germans tried to convince all people in the Reich (including all occupied territories) that communism was the real enemy and tried to convince them to volunteer for the army and fight a  noble war…
Once during the game the German player may place 1 free INF in all continental Europe territories under German control

also add this as possible optional rule?

Generals:
Each nation can allocate one leader for a combat modifier which gives all units it is with a +1 combat modifier for either attack or defence. If the combat lasts only one round this leader is committed to remain in the territory until that nations following turn. Otherwise the leader can be simply placed in any other controlled territory and used for operations on the following turn.

Only one General can affect a single combat and the general can lead allied troops in battle, except of course no western Allied /Soviet forces can occupy or be modified together. Generals only work to command and modify land forces.

this is the current list we need to sort it out and cut the fat off. please provide comments on which should go and why. we need the list down to about 15-16 NA

6. Afrika Corps
Looking over this sagain…Just in case its used in a weird sense. How about if “Axis controls Libya, Germany and Southern Europe (or Italy)”.

++++ok ill fix it.

8. SS Panzer
Do we want to give all Heavy Tanks opening-fire ability, or only SS Panzer should have it?

++++naw just SS panzer. having heavy tanks is alot of firepower in itself.

12. Hitler Youth
For the cutting down I would remove this one. Already have two INF NAs.

++++ ok its gone

13. Alpen festung
The Allies attack again? immediately or later? The Allies do not HAVE to attack again right? I think air units shouldn’t be able to retreat to this new area. And all non-INF land units needs to be converted to INF.

Yes conversion is good idea because its basically underground fighting in the mountains. The option is only performed if the allies attack germany. The german player has this option if he feels he will lose germany then he may retreat to the national redoubt. Its purpose is to prolong and tie up the allies to prevent them from fighting Japan long enough in close games so the axis can win.

14. SS Panzers
redundant

++++ right remove

16. Pocket Battleship
“Battleship Jr” ?
Designate one tank unit and it attacks at a 5 and defends at 5.

++++ huh? a tank?  this idea is basically to create the graf spee problem its something that was better than a cruiser. It could only be allowed if not using the optional units.

21. German Infrastructure
As with the way your justification text put, as with the Russian rail…there needs to be some way to destroy it. Maybe it is destroyed by SBR attack larger than a certain no. of IPC in one turn?

+++++ ok rephrase it in a manner that you think is good.

22. German Propaganda
Specify the territories involved.

it says in territories under german occupation … this is a micoon NA BTW.

General
Don’t really like having the General for all players.

+++++ ok we can leave it out but it was an optional rule anyway.

here is the current fixed list. need additional corrections.

i have a bonus NA aftewr reading a book called “luftwaffe over America” by Manfred Griehl

Germany can allocate one bomber as a super-long range bomber with a movement of 10. It cannot be built until the german player has completed Jet power and long range aircraft Technology. The Bomber cannot be shot down by AA rolls nor other aircraft. It rolls for SBR attacks in the normal fashion in all other respects.

Underground factories is a tech development which performs as you have stated. Look it up on the rules file under tekkys name.

So are these NA’s complete?

any more edits?

OK which do we take out?

also:

Quote
++++ right but the idea is to give a germans a “happy time” where if they decide to go fully in sub warfare it could be profitable
also we may want to give germans 6 IPC subs?

guess its not too bad since we are making Advanced Radar helps detecting subs too
might need to give everyone a head start in “Advanced Radar” or it’ll be a pain
note Pacific can have sub warfare too

++++The allies have two levels of tech that effect the outcome of sub searching one should raise it from 1 to 2 and other allows fighters to participate and takes the modifier one more potentially bringing it to a three. Three has to be the limit because 4 makes the subs totally useless.

If a destroyer/cruiser  is present does it make it impossible for the sub to submerge?

I believe “unlimited 6 IPC sub” is out of scope
but we could make each country’s “national unit” item of the NA list a standard rule.

++++ Yea hmmm. we i guess we should leave it except we can make a new NA where once per turn the german player can make one sub for 6 IPC each turn?

ok we got 20 NA’s you think we need to trim down to 15?

then in that case i say we get rid of:

10,12,20,16, 14

Ok Tekky add those changes to the file. we go with 16 NA’s

Please edit that part on the africa korps.

lets add in the national unit as optional rules section as originally designed.

I feel after more reflection that we do this:

Special Combat: Strait Interdiction:

You may fire at hostile naval units moving between the above mentioned sea zones if you hold the respective territories. Each territory gets one die for every passing naval vessel (including submarines) in “Combat Move” phase and/or one die for each naval vessel  in “Non-Combat Move” phase. Each die roll targets a hostile naval unit independently hitting on a specifc value as follows:

Territories Sea Zones  number required to hit
Gibraltar 12/13  (gibraltar straights)                1
Germany 5/6  (denmarck straights)                      2
United Kingdom 6/7  (English Channel)                  1

Also with this:

I can only find one modifier to increase the search rolls from 2 to 3 and this is now fine. That was the problem i was seeing that we had 2 modifiers to INCREASE search but we really only have one which makes the current form good. If we had two it would go to 4 and be a much different story.

both of the following are great as they are.

Advanced Submarine: SS (submarine) attack and defence increase by 1. ASW (Anti-submarine Warfare) search roll targeting them has hit value decreased by 1.

Advanced ASW (Anti-submarine Warfare): Air units now perform ASW. Naval ASW search and attack rolls’ hit values increase by 1.

Advanced Radar makes it easier. increase by 1.

actually advanced radar is for ID defence so its ok.

Im gonna post Italian NA;s now we have finished 2 players 4 to go.

Italy National Advantages

1. Piggyback Tech
Italy shared the accomplishments of German scientists during WWII.
On the turn after Germany obtains a given technology, Italy gets it as well.

2. Gustav Line
Hitler ordered a final defensive line south of Rome to protect the “soft underbelly” of Europe after Africa fell to the Allies. The Gustav Line, or the Winter Wall, held off many Allied amphibious landings. During any amphibious assault against Southern Europe, all your infantry there defend on a 3 during the first cycle of combat.

3. Desert Tracks
Italian tanks were inferior to German and Allied ones. However, they were lighter and could travel the desert with ease. Italian tanks can move through Sahara. They must both enter and leave Sahara in the same turn. They may never capture the Sahara, and they may not retreat into this territory.

4. Blackshirts
Black divisions were paramilitary organizations that were used to spread terror across Southern Europe. Once per game, if your capital gets attacked by at least one ground unit, you may place 2 infantry there before the Conduct Combat Phase.

5. Elevated Ground
Southern and South-Eastern Europe was scattered with mountains and high elevations. This gave many advantages to artillery especially Italian mountain guns. Gebirgsjägers–mountain troops–were the only ones besides aircraft who can operate on these conditions. Your artillery in Southern Europe and the Balkans defend on a 3. Units can’t blitz when passing through these territories.

6. Regia Marina Italiana
Once per turn, one surface warship (BB, DD, CV, and CA-- if using optional units) can be purchased for 2 IPC less than cost.

7. Home Defence
Every Italian or German INF unit in the first round defending in Original Italian territories get a +1 defence modifier

8. Mediterranean Express
This allows Italy to move 1 infantry to Libya during non-combat movement.

9. Afrika Corps
Allow any German units sent to Africa to become Italian upon landing, and be immediately usable by Italy.

10. Untrained Forces
The first time Italian forces meet a given Allied nation in battle, the Italians choose the order of loss for the Allied forces (this is designed to foster a “Kasserine” style result in Italy’s first encounters with enemy forces).

11. Frogmen
The Decima Flottiglia MAS was an Italian commando frogman unit created during the Fascist government. This rule allows 1 infantry to attack 1 Allied naval unit that is adjacent to an Italian held territory-containing infantry (Italy specifies targets). Infantry rolls normal attack (1 in 6) and if successful sinks 1 allied ship. Such attack precedes normal attack round. Failure is loss of Italy infantry.

12. Fascists friendship
If you controll Malta and Gibraltar, Franco of Spain will join your side. All Spanish territory, troops and IPC go directly to Italy.

13. Balkan support
During WWII Hungary, Romania and in lesser amounts Bulgaria supported the Axis forces with man and material.
Once during the game, if in controll of the Balkans, you may place 1INF, 1ART and 1ARM for free.
