Avoiding Infantry blobs. Change their Cost to 3.2!

@Imperious-Leader
Hi IL,
I can see that some TTy in Siberia did not worth a real boost in economy.

Your suggestion made me think about a way to expand my first idea a little bit more, even if it is not truly accurate/realistic from a geo-economic POV.

When invading a Zero IPC island TTy with an amphibious assault, if winning get 2 IPCs.
If defending side won the battle, he get 1 IPC.

If it is a Zero IPC continental TTy, the invader gain 1 IPC.

It remains a bonus given through the result of a combat. No additional economic value to keep such islands on subsequent rounds.

That way, it is an incentive to fight over these TTys nonetheless.

I should also add that for a “bid”, we give the US “improved shipyards” and that seems to balance things out.

@doomer1940 I agree with you I’m working on fixing it

Here is my latest file I know that it was seen before but anyone looking at this post for rules may be interested.

@RogerCooper said in "East & West" by Imp Games - Discussion:

@RogerCooper I have a functioning game. I am working on getting neutral units to change ownership through diplomacy.

There will be 4 scenarios in the mod.

East and West-Automated-7 Player
East and West-Automated-4 Player
East and West-Manual
East and West-Standard

In the automated version, the complex tech and diplomacy rules are replace with random events. In the manual version, the player will need to edit the results.

The standard version will do everything using the Axis & Allies 1942-2nd edition rules (with Anniversay edition AA rules).

First two scenarios are done. Should be finished soon.

Updated. Simplified the rules more.

Now it sounds so good I will try this next time.

@Cmdr:

I would be concerned in allowing the UK to can open like that for the Americans.

What if the turn order ended:  USA >> Italy >> Germany (Germany being first in the turn order)?

That at least permits Italy to blitz some tanks from N. Italy into Denmark to save Germany’s arse at the last minute.

London is at risk, Calcutta is at risk, Moscow is at risk… Why shouldn’t Berlin and Rome be at risk?
