Land Mines

Probably because its based on a time frame. If you have inf with these landings then they have established a landing. Maybe both sides suck at hitting.
I like where attacking art and tanks get no 1st round attacks and attacking ships bombardment hit art and or a motorized unit first. If non then a inf.
Also when there is a landing most Inf won’t be on the beachhead. They’ll be dug in further back.

hmmm… attack zero.

Makes them useless, for 1 IPC more you get 2 points. I would never buy these at all.

should be 1-2-1-2 (a,d,m,c)

Well, you could ask what the point is for any house rules.  In this case it is added realism, if you refer to my initial post.

_I love this idea , it is very accurate historic wise and also adds a lot of new tactics and limitations to the game , I endorse the upgrading idea mentioned by the guy who posted before me and would like to hear his stats and such  8-)but I battle tested this rule yesterday  and it worked great, I will be using this rule from now on for sure _

It only takes a few days to build airfield so why pay extra cost for that?
There was already airbase everywhere in the pacific (Except Guadacanal and New Guinea island)
so it’s useless.

If you are looking for mines, Table Tactics has mines in their Axis and Allies accessory set.

They could be used for either land or naval mine fields.

@Imperious:

subs only fire preemtive when a ship other than a DD or CA ( and sub) is not present as they have no ASW capability. this has not changed. In this case if you have a CA or DD then they fire back.

Thats not my interpertation of the OOB.
I think SS always fire in opening-fire. Presence of DD only allows your casualties to stay and be removed later rather than in opening-fire.

Secondly, I was talking about realism not how it works in the proposed rule. Surely the defending destroyers have more to worry about than the attacking destroyers and can’t fight as well.
+++ what would be better?

My quick solution, pulled out of thin air, is a -1 modifer for DDs wishing to perform ASW rolls. Screening, a relative passive job, however does not cause -1 modifier.
FTR and BMB could also say get -1 modifier for wishing to perform ASW rolls.

Its already generous when you think about it.

If not then when 1 DD + 1 SS attacks 1 DD….the defending DD would basically get to shoot twice while the attacking ships shoot once each. A bit strange.

1 DD provides early warning against submarine attack for whole fleet so casualties are not removed in opening-fire.
Is that realistic?

Air supremacy
When only one side has air units, those air units fire preemptively.
          Land Combat                   Naval Combat
FTR    opening-fire, selective?    opening-fire, selective?
BMR   opening-fire?                   opening-fire?

What about hit allocations?

Table tactics sells “mines” the standard idea for house rule is each unit that passes has to make a saving roll to move into the territory. If a one is rolled then the unit is destroyed. Infantry can be used as “minesweepers” and for each unit hit, each friendly can then roll a saving roll negating the hit on a roll of 1-2. Example: you move 3 tanks and 5 infantry into Novo (you are Japanese). the Soviets bought a mine unit. The phasing player rolls 8 times, netting 1 tank and  1 infantry hit, Next the 5 infantry roll trying to get 1-2, but only get this 1 time, so the tank hit is negated and the Japanese lose only one infantry.
  Mines cost about 3 IP each, cannot move, and once disarmed by infantry are removed from play… Anything else just let me know… This should work for all games
