G40 League House Rule project

    Also, while considering the middle east, I think it is bogus that industrial complexes can be erected there.  By anyone.  I’m going to disallow them, and will keep thinking about IC’s… Maybe a rule that you can’t build one on any territory that was not originally controlled.  Haven’t thought this one through yet - I’ll throw it out there for you guys to comment on.

    So Japan can still build IC’s in China, but not Hong Kong or Malaya
    No majors may be built.  Only minors.
    Germany can build in Romania, Holland, Poland, or Norway, but not Finland or Yugoslavia, for example.
    UK can still build one in Egypt

    Come to think of it, wasn’t there an alternate rule back in the original A&A game that you couldn’t build any new complexes?  To handicap the Allies?

    I think you should be able to build everything, everywhere. There should be other alternatives to make the game even if it is not now.

    I didn’t mean anything about G40 game balance - I was just recalling that there was actually an optional rule for no new IC’s in the old game.

    I am going for a bit more historical accuracy - it is ludicrous that IC’s could be built in Persia or Iraq, for example.

    You are right, it was part of a 3 rule set oriented to weight a victory for the Axis, I just checked the original rule book I have at home.
    What you propose sounds interesting, it is dificult to know if rules are good until you play a lot, so let´s try and see what happens.

    Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking.  I’m changing so many things at once I don’t know how it’s going to turn out, but it will be fun to playtest it.  We’re getting there, especially since we have barney helping us now.

    I need to post the link to the spreadsheet from time to time, since this thread was originally for my rankings… so it’s not on the first post
    Anyway, here it is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ujxn3r0e5sekcVPS8CbkH3KByB1iVrNJimiwA3e_BiI/edit#gid=2

    It’s going to happen.  I’m not in a hurry - I’m still enjoying the horribly flawed  :wink: 2nd edition game.  And my PS3.  And PS2.  And Nintendo emulator.  And movies.  And sports.  And my family.  And sleep

    I will be playing balanced mod 2.0 pretty much exclusively for awhile.  My version is on the back burner, but is still a very real possibility down the road.  I am continuing to get ideas, and the balanced mod will have some influence.  I don’t know if interest in the balanced mod will ever cool off, but if it does, I will turn my attention back to my own project
