Artic circle: submarines(only) can move from sz 4 to sz 62 and vice versa(just like going from sz 25 to sz 42)

Dog Fighting: Air unit’s fire in opening-fire step always.
During ground combat, while both sides have air units these air units fight with dog fighting values(3/3).
Air units hits must be first allocated on air units. the only exemption to this rule is that Bombers attack ground units at 3 or less(if there is a dog fight going on)but can still be hit by air units. when only one side has air units the units fight with normal combat value.

Bombers
They defend on a 1 during all combat including dog fighting. Bombers can not participate in a dog fight as the attacker. During strategic bombing bombers may be escorted (see more at scramble against bombers). Bombers can carry 2 units in the non-combat move phase. they can be up to 1 inf plus 1 inf, 1art or 1 tank. If so the bomber cannot attack during this turn.

Scramble (against bombers)
During land combat, Fighters may defend against bombers(s) at a 3 or less. The attacker may escort the bomber(s) with fighters. If the attacker chooses do this it becomes just like a dog fight but only lasts for 1 round and the defender is not restricted to how many fighters will scramble. If a dog fight is occurring in the territory the bomber(s) stop at, they just tag along. They leave after the first round (when they strategic bomb) of combat and do not count towards the dog fight count.

Economic attacks(sbr, missile strikes and Cruise missles): Anyone of the allies may not be the first contry to use an Economic attack unless the Axis do so first. The allies may viod this rule if they pay a 25 ipc penalty per country. The axis do not have such restrictions.

Missile Strike
AA guns fire 1 missile at 3 spaces or less and can target IPCs.

Cruise missiles Battleships can now fire 1 cruise missiles up to 1 space. If cruise missiles are used, the battleship cannot take part in combat. A cruise missile can attack IPC production. AA guns in a territory defend as appropriate.

@Gewehr:

Sorry, but your rapidshare.com stuff not working for me.  :|

i’ll email you the list.

email just sent

i didn’t tree to alter anything but i was more leaner on the rounding up for axis.

yes you do. thats the only thing like that.

@Imperious:

Cyan:

Is this another thread about your version of the game or one based on my map for 1962. Im getting confused… :?

I say that because you got my name on one of the posts for contribution… but on the other side Gewehr nor i can figure out that setup because its got all the territories mixed up for set up…possibly leading the the confusion on IPC.

this is the rules for y version and will say 1962 in your version and i plan on do ng the setup for that this weekend. sorry for the delay. when i was trying to make my game you gave some good adivce so i’m acknowledging you.

I was looking over this. and I was thinking if China needed an AC to start with. It seems like china will build an aircraft carrier soon so we will be play testing to see if this AC should be included for balancing purposes. It would be off kwantwang.

I moved some of the navy units around and will post the new setup tommorrow

@tekkyy:

@cyan:

It would be off kwantwang.

Other places include further north. I think thats where the shipyard facilities are at the moment anyway.

Could also put it in south Asia near Malaysia where much of China’s shipping goes thru.

its also to stop the Japanese from making a serious attack on Round 1. kwantwang is worth 7 ipcs. shame to lose that and its navy on Rd 1.

Things to test for:
Which is the best Victory objective( 10 VC vs. 11)
Should the AC should be taken away form China
Should the Libyan fighter be moved to Egypt
Is Russia’s east too weak.
Can russia viably build navy in the Black and eastern sea without going IC crazy
To make sure the game is fun  :mrgreen:
anything else we should look out for?
