This is what we do in game. Each neutral has a territory value and some kind of army and a few ships. You can attack them if you want. But u need to capture each neutral territory to get icp income.
If you lose battle then just that lone neutral joins other side.
But we also have a cost to try and influence a strict neutral to your side and you receive the territory value towards income and what is there for the ground troops and a possible ship. Nothing stronger than a Destroyer.
Not all countries can influence the same neutrals. We roll a d20 and a 4 or less u get neutral.
This is just an idea u may look at.
Spain and Turkey have the biggest Amy but cost more for those 2 to try and get.
Change in SBR Rules
-
I always thought the SBR rules were a bit week. What if instead of doing the SBR during a normal players turn to knock off money it was conducted at the targeted country’s during its production phase. The bomber(and fighters) must make it past AA and defending fighters. Once through they choose a unit the targeted player is building. They then get to roll a die to see if they knock that unit out before it even makes it on the board.

Never been on the receiving end of England and America hitting you with 6 bombers a round, have you?
-
which rules OOB or HIstorical edition rules?
-
i have but usually by that time the game is over anyway
-
I’ve been hit like that by round 4, hardly end game scenario. Thing is, my AA Guns never hit…when I use the strat I loose 1 bomber a round…really ticks me off cause it’s an awesome strat. Germany earns 12 IPC a round, Russia earns 24-40 IPC a round. Fast game!

I haven’t played old AA in a while. I play World at War now, and its not as easily done in WAW. You should try it if you haven’t
-
yeah smaller territories with the World at War variant
starting with OOB you actually want to WEAKEN SBR rules
you can make German bleed in a way thats too powerful for both gameplay balance and realismhitting things during production is a great idea
it doesn’t make sense to be able to destroy IPC at an unused IC
but I wouldn’t make it actual units but remain as IPCsits not easy to make a nice rule for OOB though
the income and production is all messed up by the USSR,Germany,UK,Japan,US play order
