Question on the Rules

Hi all,

As someone who usually plays the Axis, I found that airborne units are insanely effective. You can pretty easily snipe places like Transcaucasia (5 IPP and aligns Turkey) with 1-2 airborne and some air support. It can get pretty dumb.

I would recommend that airborne units need to match 1:1 with the IPP value of any non-island territory unless the territory is being simultaneously attacked by your land units or adjacent to a territory being attacked by your land units.

Basically, this would reign in exploiting airborne (can’t snipe London, Moscow, Berlin, with solely airborne unless there is a tonne of them which is unlikely due to the nature of airborne troops.

I think this would be a simple rule to implement that would prevent cheesing.

Please feel free to critique this or add to it.

I’m currentley working on an ‘Armageddon’ type of rule set. I decided that in addition to Nuclear rules and other goodies that I wanted zombies. I downloaded the rule book for Zombies and printed it off. It took me about an hour to figure out how to do it without the special cards and tokens. I decided just to put a blank marker under the piece that is a Zombie unit.
Without the cards I have made it so that the Zombies are stationary. Unless, you have the tech that allows you to move one. I decided to treat the chart with the advantages as a research board for my game.
Has anyone else done this?

@SS-GEN WOW! so it doesn’t matter how many planes are there. only how many Artillery pieces. I have been playing it wrong! Thanks :)

Rules say:
“Shoot Down Air Units: Artillery can shoot down attacking air units. Whenever an order card so directs, each artillery
can fire on one air unit in its zone. Roll one die per artillery against an air unit: On a roll of 1, that air unit is destroyed.” AN air unit. not EACH air unit.

Per @Midnight_Reaper’s request, I’m working on a USS Atlanta and an IJN Agano for Light Cruisers. The Atlanta has existing open-source examples; the Agano I’ll have to rebuild from bits and photos (all current models are pay-only).

I dunno, knp, why not Eastern Russia or SE Asia?

I like the salvage question, but I would say roll a d6 for each mech or armor destroyed by Chinese forces, on a roll of 1, that unit is now Chinese.  It’s same odds as SBR getting killed by AA Guns so there is some limited precedent for that target number.  It’s horrible justification, but best I could do on the spur of the moment. lol

@major_payne:

hi,

how due the tech rules work with alpha 3 rules?

This is different from OOB:

@Alpha:

Research & Development (that have been modified)

Rockets: Your air bases can now launch rockets. During the Strategic and Tactical Bombing
Raid step of your Conduct Combat phase each turn, each of your operative air bases can make
a single rocket attack against an enemy industrial complex, air base, or naval base within 4
spaces of it. This attack does one die roll of damage to that facility. Rockets may not be fired
over neutral territories.

Improved Mechanized Infantry:  Each of your mechanized infantry units that are paired up
with a tank or artillery now has an attack value of 2. Also, your mechanized infantry may now
blitz without being paired with a tank.

Improved Shipyards: Change the IPC cost of cruisers to ‘9’.

Just Italy vs UK.

@Detuite:

Can paratroopers fly over occupied enemy tt’s and drop into a empty enemy tt.

Yes, as long as the territory being attacked is also being attacked by non-paratrooper land units.

@Detuite:

lets say you have 3 transports in a sea zone can 1 enemy fighter or 1 enemy surface ship destroy all of them on 1 attack

Yes.
