You should impose a 15 turn maximum for each game, to prevent players from farming points to much.

There should be national objectives which nets players points. However, anyone can get them, which makes for a king of the hill style game.

E.G:
+1 point to whichever player controls Berlin at the end of the game (If its contested, nobody gets it)
+0.1 points for every IPC you collected during the final phase of the game
+1 point whenever you conquer an enemy capital (one time only, for each player)
-1 point when you suffer from economical/political collapse (one time only, for each player)
Etc.

Hypothetical question: If the attack resolution rules for 1914 were the same as the other A&A games, which current first moves would you change and why…for example, I would change my opening moves by AH to build up forces to attack Italy first and just build up a force in Galicia rather than attack Venice and Poland…I would still have to attack Serbia, but I would hold off on Albania…

My quoting of that post was to show why this statistical endeavor misses the point of the discussion of the rule change. Therefore it applies to this thread.

Nope.

You can evacuate a contested tt, but not use such a move to attack. The tt you move to must contain one of your own units (allies do not count).

It says that in mobilize units, if you have a tt with other land units but no infantry, you must demote one unit to an infantry to fulfill the “minimum 1 inf” criteria.

It is sensible to enforce this after movement as well if you spot the enemy has made such an error.

I raised Don Rae. But he hatched after 1987. Soon after that he made the fryer…into nuggets and finally the sewer system.

Since Germany has an inferior naval deployment, the retreat rules make sense to give them some flexibility.

@Athlim:

Contested territories and Air supremacy we should See incorporated into the next WW2 A&A Game!

Maybe someone could send Larry a note and start an AA WWII Revolution
