DK's Arms Research System…

@Pitt79 please elaborate the usa russia scenario thanx

I’ve seriously considered using the map and customizing it for my never-ending variant project.

One thing I like in both Risk! And Attack! That I didn’t like previously is the “sea lane” movement as opposed to A&A’s transport only movement. This idea is one I’m tinkering with on the A&A maps not only to speed up the game but to also break away from standardized strategy. Which not only lengthens the game but contributes negatively IMO to replayability as well as other aspects.

With the newer titles you have blank factory tiles that would work well for your ideas as well as the tiles marked “3” and “10” from the Global games.

Just completed 3 rounds playing this rule and I like it - alot! Germany took France Rd1 so had two tech rolls starting RD2. US purchased a RF RD1 so also had 2 tech rolls RD2. Out of 22 rolls we only had three hits and 2 of the 3 ended up Radar hits (could possibly be helpful for Germ, not so much for the US) and of course I’m playing the allies! This is why I don’t believe you need to add any more costs, maintanence or otherwise, to this rule. It hasn’t had a major effect (yet!) on our game and it’s really cool to roll a tech dice for each country (especially Anzac!) each turn.

American marines dont, but these aren’t just americans don’t forget. I would never use Lv1 but it’s the only way to get Lv2 and Lv3.

ttt, discussion about tech over at AAMC.

USSR 14:  This one is BRUTAL!  I saw USSR pull this on turn 1, and Germany was hammered.  Love it!

However, the question is how many times can they do it per country?  The first time Germany invades each USSR held territory, or every USSR held country for the rest of the game?

–--------- this is the first time they invade the Soviet territory, not every turn which denies Germany of any money. So its each originally held Soviet territory once per game.

I was limiting each USSR country to 1 time “Slash and Burn”.  Is it really suppose to be every time a country sea-saws back and forth that it is of no use to Germany?

-------- no not the back and forth… just the first time.

What if Moscow has fallen and Stalin is “dead”.  Does the order still stand?

-----------LOL yes the rule is not relative to Stalin in the game because Stalin is not a playing piece in AARHE ( at this point)

Italian 14:  I don’t get this one.

Bridging friendly units has the same effect, so this NA is of no value.  Or does this reset the units and regardless of whether the unit fought in the Combat Phase it can bridge across?
