Hi, i searched the forum but failed to find anything about railroads and IC’s.
Has anyone thought about implementing IC’s and railroads? IC’s you perhaps could built for 12 IPC and you can place max amount of stuff onto the zone.

Railroads would be a bit more interesting, idea is to start from your capital buying railroads connecting it to adjacent territory for an x amount of IPC so you can move infantry and artillery 2 zones.

Would these 2 ideas do any good to 1914 version? I know that railroads were a big factor in the war to bring supplies and men to the front.

Considering house rules for China in G40. In the event they capture an industrial complex built in China. Should they be able to produce any unit?

Underground Factory
C10
Build (not islands) on any territory worth 2 or more icps.
Build 1 unit Per Turn only.
Cannot be damaged by SBR attacks.
Enemy captures territory with factory, gets to use it on there next turn.

Tech
Spy discovers underground factory
Can SBR factory up to 5 icp dam max. Must be fully repaired to use
Something to this effect. If you have Partisans in game they could also attack it. Maybe 3 damage and must be fully repaired to use.

Would this C10 be to low ? Pay 10 for factory, then drop a capital ship next to a territory worth 2 or more anywhere next to a sea zone.

Maybe have it where you can only
build a undergroundfactory on your own original starting territory.

Think of every tt with an IPC value as having an infantry “depot”. The limit raised per turn based on the IPC value is reasonable.

But in the long term (and I’m thinking in particular of WWI) the number of men of fighting age available in any area is limited. WWI would not have gone on indefinitely; each side would simply have run out of men. Furthermore, the more you try to recruit in a particular area, the quality of troops raised decreases, and resistance to conscription grows.

Also consider depots as infantry training centres; a unit recruited there receives basic training, say the equivalent of a 1-1 infantry unit.

Leave it there another turn and it improves to a 1-2 unit, or you might use the turn to train it as storm troopers, paratroopers etc. You have to decide on the value of properly trained units against the immediate need for troops at the front, even if they’re just raw recruits to soak up hits.

A further refinement is to indicate the nationality of a depot; some nationalities will fight for more than one side, for example Romanian units might be raised by Germany or Russia depending on who controls Bucharest.

Units starting the game can be assumed to be fully trained, those raised from scratch start as raw. You can even consider some casualties to be wounded, and needing to be sent back to the depots for recuperation.

I have railroads and oil fleld territory on my A&A game.
(I’m a railfan since 20 years so it was normal to incorporate railraod on my game.
I found a lot of info on the net about railroad line in 1939.
So i incorporated european,asian and american railroad line on my map.

Here’s my house rules.
Each player can move infantry and artillery by railroads.
1 units per territory.
During the non combat movement, infantry and/or artillery can make a 2 two zones move. The player must use is own railway he can’t pass throught an ennemy occupied zone.
There’s one exception. USSR.
The Russian player can move 3 infantries ( Or 3 artillery) because this player has the trans-siberian railway national advantage.

For oilfiled. It’s simple.
I have 20 oil territory.
USSR 2, USA 2, France 2, UK 3, Chana 1,Italy 1, neutral country 9.
If you take possession of an ennemy oil territory. The lost player must pay to the new owner, twice of the value of the territory. example. If the german player occupied Egypt (2 IPC). The UK must pay 4 IPC to the german player.

If a player lost all is oil territory he’s going to get a penalty.
At the beginning of his turn he must roll a dice.
1 or 2: Ground unit cannot attack.
3 or 4 : Air unit cannont attack.
5 or 6 : Naval unit cannot attack.
(No effect for transport and submarine).

Oil is realy important. Infatc, you cannot make the war without that.
For Hitler itwas too late.

Alan.
