Chaos in the Balkans:
Hungary and Romania are at war, Germany has annexed Austria, Yugoslavia suffered an unfortunate die role and has been forced to disintegrate into a Pro-Fascist Croatian state and a smaller Serbia. Italy managed to seize Albania without loss, and Czechoslovakia is reinforcing its border with the Nazis.
The UK has pledged to declare war on any power invading Greece.

Swedish Disaster:
The Swedes attempted to peacefully take over Norway to prevent any major nations from entering Scandinavia, but the plan backfired. Not only did another unfortunate die role cause the Norwegians to resist, but the German and British players were offended by the assault, and Germany turned a blind eye to a British force that liberated the Norwegians and devastated Sweden’s hopes of a powerful, neutral, United Scandinavian state.

Spain in Flames:
The civil war rages on in Spain, just as a deadly naval encounter ended in mutual annihilation for the Nationalists and Republicans. The free world does not want a Fascist Spain, and the U.S. Player has sent generous air aid to the Republicans. With Franco’s Army of Africa having headed for the mainland, I, as France, took advantage and seized their Moroccan colony. Unfortunately, I earned a -1 diplomacy points for this “aggressive” act.
Ships at Port (1914)
-
When moving to a friendly sea zone, ships can choose to enter a friendly port. While at port, the ships are not subject to combat and they cannot interfere with any other ship movement. Movement into the port is free, but costs 1 MP to leave. If the territory is captured while ships in port, then the ships are lost.
Land units may move to a port territory and finish their move on a ship at port, when at that point the transport may sail loaded to the sea zone adjacent to the port.I primarily created this rule for 1914 - but seems it could be used with 1940 naval bases, though there would be air attack implications to consider.
-
Might this make massive, protected navies easy to build? Just a thought.
-
Maybe, but if not at sea, easy to assault the territory.
-
I’m worried that this could upset the game in the sense that especially the British can save all of their navy until the want it. If they are invincible, not only does that make it unrealistic, it kind of game changing.
-
Ships are less vulnerable when they are immobile in a port? Most ships that were “protected” in that way ended up never leaving their berths again…
That doesn’t make any sense, examples include; Taranto Pearl Harbor Tirpitz Operation Catapult, every Italian naval battle in the early war…
