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.
New Naval rules
-
Lets face it, A&A naval combat is plain and expensive.
So I took a hint from Imp Games East&West A&A Variant(Game is horrible, but it has a lot of new ideas)Â and adapted them for A&A RevisedDestroyers cost 8, defend at 2 and attack at 2, however when they are in a territory with enemy subs, the subs can not submerge or sneak attack(first strike)
Carriers cost 14
Battleships cost 22New Unit!: Cruiser: cost 10, defends 3 and attacks 3, moves 2(as always)
-
does it take one hit or two?
-
one hit
-
I suppose if the cost of a crusier was sixteen you could have it take two hits though.
-
Id say from AARHE:
destroyers stay at 10 2/2
cruisers take 2 hits cost 15 3/3
Battleships take 2 hits (preemtive) cost 20 4/4
Carriers take 2 hits cost 16 1/3
-
That works too

I was also thinking maybe transports could carrymoney to other nations.
