[G40] Strategic Oil Reserves (Theme)

@all-encompassing-goose

True. Okay then, looks good. I also assume that the bombing would occur before combat.

@general-spengler said in [Global 1940] Units Expansion Set:

Also if anyone has thoughts on the values (particularly cost) and if they seem balanced that would be good info as well.

Good action here. Global 40 House Rules has Escort CVs at C 9. I figured at 10, you’d just buy a 2 hit Fleet CV at 16 instead, although Italy or ANZAC might still buy one. There’s also an option that gives them ASW ability as well to encourage buys.

board 3659 has them moving only 1 +1 w/NB. In my tests Italy buys them and sometimes ANZAC, but not really anybody else. I just test against myself though. I still like them and think they’re a cool unit.

The Conscripts are A0 D1 C2 max build of 8. Can conquer empty TTYs though. They get spammed otherwise. I think with your limit of 2 per turn and using the Recruitment Centers are good ideas to limit that though as well as not being able to attack.

I always stick em in the front line and use them as bullet stoppers lol. Russia really likes em.

These could be added to the House Rules Mod for triplea if you want. Idk if you use triplea or not, but it’s real good for testing stuff from a time standpoint even if you prefer the physical board.

Once again, Good Action : )

This rule is part of the Axis & Allies Global 1940 2E, House Rules Expansion.

Naval Task Forces at sea brought with them Support & Supply Ships - in order to perform their operations - and make necessary repairs without depending on a Port.

This is reflected in the Capital Warship Damage rule.

The largest Battleships ever built, were limited in numbers - but extremely powerfull.
This is reflected in the Super Heavy Battleship rule.

Resource token values.
Worth 1 Icp each. Built in AA D@1
WHEAT
OIL DERRICK

Worth 2 Icps each. Built in AA D@1
COPPER
RUBBER
IRON
REFINERIES Built in AA D@2

Worth 3 Icps each Built in AA D@1
URANIUM
If you have an AA Gun in theses territories with tokens you can D@2 but not use both AA guns.

These all can be SBRed up to 3 damage each. Lose income for them until repaired
and refineries up to 6 damage. Don’t repair refineries
suffer a -1 movement for ground or naval or planes or nothing.
Have a chart for this.
Also all of these can be convoy raided up to 3 also.
This represents all transporting vessels at sea.
Remember most of these resource tokens are in normal territories too.

Start out slow with this. You don’t want to keep chasing it.

Pill box counter ? Can SBR them ?

Need to take this to a new topic thread for resource stuff.

Here is what I use for my Oil Production Rules. They add bonus income which can be used for Research and Development, Purchasing more units, and Infrastructure development if desired. As a note I use the Global War 39 XL map in my games so some of the territories would need to be adjusted for an A&A Global 40 Map. I generally use the Bonus income for Research and Development to help build up my R&D Labs early in the game. This way I have a good chance getting some really helpful technologies mid game.

Oil Derricks and Refinery Rules

#1. These units are fixed at game start and can’t be moved.

#2. These units can be strategically and tactically bombed. Three hit points renders these facilities inoperative.

#3. If the oil producing territory is captured it takes 2 turns for an Oil Derrick to start producing again and 3 turns for a refinery to produce again. The turns to full production are represented as hit point counters placed under facility same as other bombed facilities.

#4. Domestically produced Oil with a clear supply route to the Capital via land or Sea is produced at full production. However Domestic or Foreign produced Oil that doesn’t have a clear supply route to Capital is reduced to half capacity. The Exception is a territory with only an Oil Derrick or Refinery which will have no point value for that turn and again until a clear supply route is obtained.

@Cmdr:

Yea, I always wished that ABs added 2 to fighters/TBmbs and 4 to Strat Bombs…but that isn’t how it is, so my wishes be danged. lol

You can still HR that an AB on island TTy is treated like an Aircraft Carrier.
That way, StB or Fg going out only received only +1M bonus, but any Fg or TcB taking off and landing on the same AB gets a +2  bonus move.
This allows TcB and Fg to attack an island in another SZ and be able to land on the island Air Base. .

I’ve been considering giving a try to the following in my next game:  (Someone posted this before, not sure who or where though)
-  Each destroyer can expose and negate the effects of one sub per sea-zone.
-  Destroyers now cost 6.

This would encourage the purchase of more destroyers rather than subs in fleets to be used as meat-shields since they also defend at 2.  Subs would be used more exclusively in their traditional roles as convoy raiders and opportunity hits rather than fleet screens as they are with the current rules.
