Are there national advantages in aa50?

[tcnance]

we see the new national objectives seem to add a lot to the game but what about national advantages like in revised……was that replaced by the NOs?

@Imperious:

no NA but we have house rules.

Would house rules do you use in the vein of NA’s?

I’m very suprised that AA50 does not include a rule for the Japanese/Russia non-aggression pact.

It does - but in a more realistic way.

Japan has to go after China and Asia, and the Germans have to go after Russia to get bonus IPCs…

So - by default Japan ignores Russia, and Russia is too busy defending against the Axis powers in the west.

Of course - as happened, Russia may chose to violate that ‘arrangement’ - and Japan can chance an East Wind Rain approach…

but then if Japan ignores the US, the US builds a mighty force to sweep Asia clean of Japan.

I think the new way is better - it gives more freedom to players, and I think playes should be free to follow unhistorical approaches - but that there should be ‘historical’ consequences for doing so.

I more than agree with templeton on the freedom to players idea. I appreciate the game offers a nice historical point of view, but it is the idea of being able to do the “what if” playing that makes it really exciting.
