AARHE: Phase 3: Revised NA's

Maybe replace the U.S. nb. 5 Great Wall NA with;

5. P-51 Mustang
The Mustang was a masterpiece of US aircraft engineering. With its Rolls-Royce Merlin engine it could protect bomber squadrons all the way to the target and back. The P-51 flew most of its wartime missions as a bomber escort in raids over Germany, helping ensure Allied air superiority from early 1944.
Your fighter’s move increases from 4 to 6 on SBR only.

For Germany;

17. Tiger Tank
The Tigers were originally designed to be offensive weapons but by the time they came into action, the military situation had changed dramatically, so other than a few times, their main use was defensively as tank killers. Some Tiger units exceded the 10:1 kill ratio!!
During each battle you may assign one tank as a Tiger Tank. The Tiger has 4/4 combat values, and will fire preemptive in defence, and may picks its target ( only ground units)

I posted this one on Harris, I like it! But can it be put in AARHE??

18. Amerkia Bomber
The Amerika Bomber project was an initiative of the Reichsluftfahrtministerium, the Nazi Germany Air Ministry, to obtain a long-range bomber aircraft for the Luftwaffe that would be capable of striking the continental United States from Germany. The Me 264 Amerika (America) was one of the selected aircraft designs to get the job done. Bombing NY city.
If germany gets both LRA and heavy bombers they can build special bombers (ME 264) that can move to East USA and back to germany ( 10 spaces total)
This bomber cannot be intercepted nor can ID defense rolls apply. The attacking/defensive values are 5/2 and roll 2 dice on SBR,costing 15 IPC. You have to place a token underneath a Heavy Bomber.

This is IL’s idea that i tried to make an NA off. Not happy yet about it… Thoughts?

For Japan;

17. Parallel Planning
During the later half of WWII, the IGHQ amazingly arrived at the same conclusions of American planners, correctly predicting the targets of the Philippines, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and the planned invasion beaches on Japan
On any Orange territory attacked by the US Player, Japan gets to place 1 free infantry.

18. Strategic Bombing Limitations
Since much of Japanese industry were small shops and factories, destroying them was only possible due to overwhelming air power.
US requires 2 Bombers to conduct Strategic Bombing. They roll only one dice however! (two heavy bombers will roll 2 dice)

Tekkyy You only posted half of the 1st NA of Italy in the rule set;

1. Regia Marina Italiana
When Italy entered World War II on 10 June 1940 Regia Marina was the fourth largest navy in the world and had a mix of modernised and new battleships. It challenged the Allies, mostly the British Royal Navy, for supremacy of the Mediterranean.
Once per turn, you may purchase and place one naval unit in Italy for 2 IPC less than cost.

You wrote;

Please correct this  :wink:

Italy: Kesselring
specify the movement from where to where, or just bridging?
write the justification text (I can’t find a quick 2 sentence from google for this)

Italy: Regia Marina Italiana
where is it missing? its not missing in the previous post

US: P-51 Mustang
need to define SBR escorts first
AARHE only changed two things
*maximum damage per round equal to territory income
*defending FTR function as ID in SBR
(discuss in existing air combat thread here)

US: Amerika Bomber
actually need 12 spaces to go from Germany to Eastern US and back?
unlimited? one BMR only? or one per turn?

yea just one bomber per turn can do this

realistically it/they should be a destinated unit(s)?

18. Amerika Bomber
The Amerika Bomber project was an initiative of the Reichsluftfahrtministerium, the Nazi Germany Air Ministry, to obtain a long-range bomber aircraft for the Luftwaffe that would be capable of striking the continental United States from Germany. The Me 264 Amerika (America) was one of the selected aircraft designs to get the job done. Bombing NY city.
If you have both Heavy Bomber and Long Range Aircraft technology, you may build special BMR (bomber) with 12 movement points. It is immune to ID (infrastructure defence) fire. It attacks at 5 and defend at 2. A maximum of 1 can be on the map at any time. You have to place a token underneath the special unit.

About the Regia Marina NA, I checked the downloadable rulebook. Here on the forum you indeed posted correctly.

17. Tiger Tank, Yes like i sad already myself, not fit for AARHE. We have Heavy tank TECH en SS Panzer NA

17. Parallel Planning, 1 free INF on each attack.

18. SBR Limitations, Well this is not mine NA, I took it from Harris’s site (Templeton??) I just added the dice text… But i just googled, and found this;

The precision targets were not successful, partly due to the lack of fighter cover and partly due to the construction of Japanese factories, refineries and military institutions. Unlike Germany, which required tons of high explosive for each attack, the high explosive from high altitude did not have the same effect on the paper and wood structures predominant in Japan. at; http://worldwar2database.com/html/japanbom.htm

But the US quickly went over to “firebombing” instead, causing huge damage…  So maybe dump this NA also

P-51 Mustang, is indeed maybe to much of a struggle to fit into the game. Change to whole combat system for a NA…

18. Amerika Bomber sounds OK now.

Parallel Planning
after the first time its used in a game, it becomes weird somewhat?

Great Wall of China
the only I can find online is that it was used for transportation of troops
but, weird, at running speed?

Carpet Bombing
I think carpet bombing and area bombardment was when precision bombing failed. So instead of targetting military, cities were targetted to demoralise people.
Maybe US SBR can target VCP instead of IPC?

@Imperious:

So with that being said are we finished with these NA’s?

yeah just the last issues
the first message in this page

Id still have to resolve the german NA about national redoubt and how this relates to that proposed map change that was posted… what was the decision on that?

The NA works very well if germany has a southern germany but it also ties in with the italy thing.

how about
a virtual territory off map for standard map
southern germany for italy map

Parallel Planning
after the first time its used, US knows everytime you attack Japan territory they’ll one new troop
it doesn’t model the the idea too well

the rule also has no limit
maybe it should be like relocation one land unit within 3 spaces including SZs

Great Wall of China
yeah sort of no progress
lets remove it

Carpet Bombing
so keep it as land unit destruction? write/source the justification text then
something about some US bomber not engaging enemy, high altitude bombing?

(maybe my alternative models fire bombing of city which has politics and controversy lol)

Kesselring
remember still has the justification text to write/source
something about Kesselring’s raids to occupy and prevent UK raids in Med Sea

Parallel Planning
or how about once per game but more powerful, like 2 INF

Great Wall of China
so we remove it, could use one more NA for US

Carpet Bombing
justification text

Kesselring

Well check this out.
The Fletcher class was the largest class of destroyer ordered, and was also one of the most successful and popular with the destroyer men themselves.Compared to earlier classes built for the Navy, they carried a significant increase in anti-aircraft (AA) weapons and other weaponry, which caused displacements to rise. They also contained a flush deck which added to structural stability although it did make them rather cramped. The increased displacement allowed a heavier and a larger number of armaments to be carried as necessary.
Throughout the course of World War II, the number of AA weaponry increased resulting in five twin 40 mm Bofors plus seven 20 mm weapons by 1945. Plus depth charges, Torpedoes and Sonar and so on.
175 were built but only lost 17 during the war.
Thats a lot of Anti Air flak there so how bout this.

Fletcher Class Destroyers- During first round of combat if A US destroyer, or fleet containig a US destroyer, is attacked and there is enemy Aircraft present, your destroyers defend on 3

Tweak it how you need too to fit the super rules.

@Deaths:

Tweak it how you need too to fit the super rules.

yep we model air combat in AARHE
so we don’t need conditions like enemy aircraft present

existing anti-air values
CA (cruiser) 4
BB (battleship) 3
CV (aircraft carrier) 2
DD (destroyer) 2

Fletcher-class destroyers
The Fletcher class was the largest class of destroyer ordered. Compared to earlier classes built for the Navy, they carried a significant increase in anti-aircraft (AA) weapons. Throughout the course of World War II, the number of AA weaponry increased resulting in five twin 40 mm Bofors plus seven 20 mm weapons by 1945.
Starting from turn 3, all your DD (destroyer) has Anti-air value of 3.

I like the Fletcher NA.  It is difficult to close the final draft for these NA’s….
