6.1 RULE CLARIFICATIONS DATABASE

Hey!

When I first bought GW36 years ago, my group misread the rules and played the first dozen games with “full access to allies bases”. Since then we’ve played both “full access” house rule and vanilla rules, without significant balance issues.

With full access, USA shuttles troops to UK quicker. But the USA lands somewhere in Europe anyway and therefore full access doesn’t affect anything.

Eventually we settled on “Full Access to Allies Bases” as a house rule, and we like it.
It’s more historical, for the navy it doesn’t take the American fleet a full year to get back to America. For air forces…we figure that even if historically the Commonwealth and the USA didn’t share air bases; we assume Normandy had more then 1 air base, so in game everyone benefits.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Where are the updated rules with the 20 “minor fixes”? They were supposed to be out months ago? It’s impossible to read through the threads. Let me guess “soon”?

Tnx

i like the convoy zone optional rule, however i believe there should be a qualification that the axis still only gain the income on an actual roll of a 1.  this would represent the fact that subs can’t steal cargo, their sole goal was to destroy merchant ships not seize them.

This is great news. Looking forward to it. We’ll try them out next game.

Hi,

some things in setup and rules have to be changed or clarified in my opinion:

1. Exactly clarification of state of Dutch (allied or Pro allied Neutral, role of DEI and navy)
2. Movement and Escape rules of neutral coastel ships and what happens after occupation by axis or allies.
3. FEC and UK. Can you also build facilites with UK IPC’s in FEC or Anzac territories (in the current rules is only the speak of “Units” to build in)?
4. Russian Partisans, at what time of turn they raise up
5. At what time geht the pro-neutrals one infantry more, at the beginning of turn 2 or at the end oft turn 2 (One Infantry more every two turns)
6. Can The USA spent their money only when at war or also before? In the current rules:
ALLIED LEND/LEASE:
The U.S. may attempt to lend money to any Allied power that is at war and that can build units. Also China ???
The U.S. may only make one attempt to each country per turn. Can you spent separatly eg. to South Africa and UK??? or are these two nations one coutry in that case?

Setup changes:

1. There should be some infantry in South and Middle American neutrals (Mexico, Chile etc.)
2. Calcutta (FEC) is in our opinion to weak, so you can occupy Calcutta in turn 3 with Japan (All Transports + Carrier based Aircraft), maybe there should be more units or a fortification against sea attacks in Calcutta. If you use the sneak Attak with Japan there is in my opinion no way to hold Calcutta with FEC.
3. One Infantry in Corinth and One in Crete

I do have a quick question for the creators brought up while discussing the minor axis powers in another thread:

If the Germans build a naval base on Romania can the Romanians (who don’t need an IC) build ships in the Black Sea to help protect an axis fleet, or do they only produce ground/air units in their capital (not ships next to it)? Using the same principle, are they allowed to build a ftr for a German (or Italian) carrier in the Black Sea? Obviously they would have to had saved some IPCs.

I believe this next part is still under review, any word yet?

This leads me to a 2nd question, say the Germans build a minor IC in both Romania, and Bulgaria, and a NB for Bulgaria (sz43 Black Sea). I know the Germans could build ships in the Black Sea from the Bulgarian IC w/NB, but would the same NB servicing sz43 also fill the requirement to allow for ships to be built from Germany’s Romanian IC adjacent to it? Can a NB from one territory service an IC from a different territory (for ship building) as long as they share the same sz, and are owned by the same power. This is also in question if UK builds an IC for Cairo which comes w/NB servicing the Med sz47 (allows you to build ships in sz47). Can the same Cairo IC (would also be adjacent to sz64) also build ships in the Red Sea using the Upper Egypt NB that services sz64 as long as they owned both Cairo & Upper Egypt?

Further more in a similar situation as above, can a NB in a territory of your ally serve the requirements for shipbuilding for an IC you own as long as they are adjacent to the same sz? Say the Italians take Holland and build a NB (sz 16). Would the Italian NB allow the Germans to drop ships into sz 16 from their adjacent major IC in W Germany?
