Event Cards - Weather, Tech, Tactical, etc.

House Rule: Fortune and Tactics cards, for the Dimensional Battlefield official LHJ Mode.

The Order cards 09a and 11a, do not have fortune and tactics cards, these, created by me, could help to improve gameplay of this mode, and avoid confusion, when playing with the 3 decks.
The optional rule of these Order cards will not be used, since it is now considered as a penalty in the fortune cards.
The cards are placed after the 9 and 11 of each deck, and read as follows:

Fortune cards

09af. Allied artillery fires. (Allies)
Roll a die.
(1) Explorers: reroll all failed dice once, in this phase.
(2-3-4-5) There is no effect.
(6) Moving targets: Targets are not pre-selected. On each roll of 1 the allies choose the eliminated unit. On each roll of 2 the Axis choose the eliminated unit.
(Optional additional system. This card is placed after card 09f)

11af. Axis artillery fires. (Axis)
Roll a die.
(1) Explorers: roll all failed dice once, in this phase.
(2-3-4-5) There is no effect.
(6) Moving targets: Targets are not pre-selected. On each roll of 1 the Axis chooses the eliminated unit. On each roll of 2 the Allies choose the eliminated unit.
(Optional additional system. This card is placed after card 11f)

Tactic cards:

09at. Relocation of troops. (Axis)
Replace blockhouses that are in areas free of allied units with lost infantry. One infantry for each blockhouse.
(Optional additional system. This card is placed after the 09t card) (Remove this card after use)

11at. Sabotage of German supply. (Allies)
Allies can choose up to 6 units from the axis reinforcement board, and roll a die for each of them. Every 1-2-3 the unit is eliminated from the game.
(Optional additional system. This card is placed after the 11t card) (Remove this card after use)

House Rule: Allies victory condition.

The standard OOB condition states that the allies must capture, and then hold at the end of a full turn the 3 victory cities, which effectively makes the game 9 turns for the allies. I believe that removing the condition to hold cities for an additional turn would make victory more feasible for the allies.

New condition: allies must maintain control of the 3 cities, at the end of a turn.

@koba Good evening
we have rules for weather like that: every round is approximately 3 months. In summer months there is the raining season in South America, Africa and Asia and in Winter severe temperatures in North America, Europe and Sovietunion.
Tanks can not “blitz” during these rounds of play.

@nerquen:

@Black_Elk:

Here is an example, say you are attacking with 1 ground unit, 1 fighter and 1 bomber. After the first round of combat the ground unit is destroyed, but the fighter and bomber remain. In the second round of combat, is the bomber allowed to participate as fodder for the fighter, even though the HR does not allow the bomber itself continue attacking? Or is the bomber considered no longer part of the fight, ie it is not longer involved in the combat cannot take any enemy hits?

For simplicity, I was thinking not to put any further restrictions on a combat once it started. The HR would really just restrict the number of bombers that one can bring into a battle, but once the battle started it would follow OOB rules. So bombers can be taken as casualties at any chosen time and can also continue battle even if all land units are dead already. This is mostly to allow game play with tripleA without any modifications.

But with little modifications to the game xml file, one can modify bombers such that their attack value is 0, but if they are combined with any land unit or a warship in 1:1 ratio they get +4 attack bonus. It is much more realistic this way and gives space for interesting tactical decisions. Suddenly taking fighters as casualties before last few armors and artilleries supported by bombers is better for maximizing attack power. One would still be allowed to take bombers as casualties at any chosen time, I think that is ok. I will attach an xml file here soon.

Here https://www.dropbox.com/s/2mbsptvi4jxi1ut/World War II Bombers HR.zip?dl=0 you can download the map with bombers having attack value of 0, but if paired with any land unit or a warship* in 1:1 ratio their attack increases to 4. Just unzip the downloaded zip file into maps subfolder of your tripleA installation. Once you launch tripleA select “World War II Global 1940 2nd Ed. - House Ruled Bombers” from the list of available games. I would be interested in any feedback if you try it. You can PM me or post here.

These are the cards:

We use Memoir 44 as a companion piece to A&A. Whenever there is a battle that we would like to play out at the tactical level, we use M44. Some minor tweaks had to be made to make it work though.

Also, we use a system where you can promote successful units with a M44 badge on the A&A board. In the A&A setting, it only gives the unit the ability to absorb an extra hit, signifying it’s elite. On the M44 board though, it is used in the same way as the badges are used in that game, i.e. Marines, Paratroopers, Snipers, etc.

We have a new Tech  for AA 1942  The USAF has a new MOAB  ( mother of all bombs  )  It is a 21,000 pound MOAB  whish is replacing the 15,000 pound ( Daisy cutter ) which was used in Iraq and afghanistan.  I feel sorry for any that gets hit by this.  But remember  WAR IS UGLY

This can be a great asset to any world power that gets its hands on this baby.  this is truely a game ender

I have included a pic of the MOAB

Good luck all

Back in 1993 we had a rule for Nuclear Weapons.

First you had to discover it, but could not do so until after round 10 (classic, remember.)
Second, it had to be loaded on a heavy bomber
Third, it removed 50% of the units on a territory if the bomber lived through any AA Guns.

Purpose:  Back then there was a problem of 400 infantry on Japan and it was just a pain to take it.  This way we could eliminate all 400 of them with 2 nuclear weapons and assault the next round iwth infantry.

It all seems pretty fair to me except for maybe the Russian industrial technology. However, I’m not sure.
