MOVED: My Rules

Thanks a lot!
Now it’s clear!  :-D

I would download the pdf rules available for the earlier editions of Axis and Allies and incorporate some of them - the rules have gradually gotten more complex since the '80s.

Airplanes can attack ships.  Destroyer is needed if you want to attack Subs.

As for invading England it is possible.  I have done it before.  Those first 12 IPCs you get, can easily go for a destroyer for the Germans.  Following that.  You need to take the convoys in the Atlantic.  You should have a good amount of land units as it already in the game.  I suggest just mainly buying transports with perhaps a destroyer here and there depending what the UK does.  Besides Destroyers give you that nice bombardment which according to the rules I have is 3 or less. (I think in 2nd edition rules it is “2” or less).  Either way when you know you have more forces then what is currently on the UK, send your airforce and units in.  In the mean time before that just keep sending units accross the channel to keep the UK forces down.

In short you have to be very careful.  Usally if you cannot take UK quick enough the USSR will take you over.  For me it comes down to being 1 turn for victory or defeat.

A Russian sub in North Sea would prevent Germany from taking 4 IPCs of the Archangelsk convoy in R1! (And of course never again!)
(If Germany has “bad” rolls in attacking North sea maybe even as compensation to save the UK Battleship on occasion!)
Simoultaneaously it allows:
1. Agressive Russian play in Scandinavian territories (1 Art from the cash advance placed as Art in Karelia; transport can load 2 Inf from Archangelsk in R1) - to take IPCs and annihilate the isolated German troops there as fast as possible - and be back in time to face the main German threat! (More money, more inf-build possible for defending Moscow!)
2. Speed up UK retaking its convoy zones to allow for faster development.

I am curious what Larry will say! ;)

I like to play where there are mines in the danish sea that act as anti-aircraft for naval units.  This really deters any major naval invasions of germany or shipping of troops to russia.

Also, to represent Germany’s superior armor, their tanks defend on a 3.

Finally, because the game starts in the spring of 41 and I like to think that one turn is a season, the United States cant enter play until turn 4 (cant do anything in the spring, summer, or fall), UNLESS germany attacks one of their shipping-box thing-ma-bobs or attacks any US units.

Yuor rules are almost exacty the rules for building IC’s in the original AA game. There the IC’s cost 15, can only be built on a territory you have held since the beginning of the turn, and require an additional turn before building at that location.

The only other addition is that a purchased IC can only build the number of units that the territory is worth.

uh, excuse me for I am slightly dense and easily confused, so I’ll answer all of your questions.

Germany does not collect any income from captured convoy centres. Imagine trying to reclaim all that sunken cargo, completely unviable. All you really need to remember about transports is that once they unload their turn is over. This also applies to when a transport “moves” within one sea-zone; once it’s load of troops is landed the transport can’t turn around and pick up more. The allies don’t get paid if they control the Middle Eastern territories. They are merely there to serve as a penalty to the allies if Germany captures them. Yes, you must roll for each column seperately. Otherwise one could rack up an amazing number of hits by designating all of his ones as being infantry attacks, all of his twos and threes as being fighter and tank attacks, and so forth.
