Global 40 Objective for Normandy

In the much hoped-for next edition of the Larry Harris tournament rules or a new Wizards game edition, this needs to be corrected. The “playable nation” thing is one-sided and actually disadvantageous to the Allies. America needs more cash and/or Russia needs more men. I wouldn’t give Germany more money, though I see your point. I don’t like giving money in general. I think you get a morale boost which results in more enlistments or neutrals joining your cause. Exept America, which needs more money.

However, given the current system, I would say America 10 dollars for America when she liberates. This is the same amount the Russians get when they capture Berlin. Yes to no cash twice and only the cash from the capital territory.

Barnee, is this thread about a NO for controlling Normandy or If Paris is Liberated ?
Is crockett saying if US controls Normandy they receive 10 icps for Normandy NO ?
This has potential. But for me a NO should have resources on territories.
I’m assuming Normandy has a IC, air and naval bases ? It also supplied grain.

I’m assuming the IC in Normandy is not destroyed on any capture.
France does not collect income for the territories they or allies own once Paris is liberated ?
I always felt a captured minor IC should be destroyed and a major reduced to a minor IC but can’t be upgraded unless its
a Capital that has been liberated only.
We have one time once Paris is liberated it gets 4 inf, 1 Minor IC and collects income for territories it still owns, allies own and
any Vichy territories with no ground troops. ( left empty )
When you take Paris back make sure you can hold it. It should be that way.

Crockett said Russia needs more men. Ha we don’t want to go there.
Here I would make it no allies aloud in Russia period and give Russia lend lease with chart and now you drop the bid and
those UK Anzac figs that need to go to Moscow to hold can be used else where. Ideas

I would love a scorched earth, destroy the minors optional rule. I love that Nightengale games has a few optional rules in the back of the book for War Room and just came out with two more. One of which is no foreign troops in Russia until they move up the stress wheel. Good precedent.

@SS-GEN Lend lease chart. That, if done right, could balance G40 and encourage German sub production by itself.

What is a stress wheel and lend lease chart?Are we talking about G40?

@ampdrive stress wheel is war room. I’m excited that we are getting official optional rules

@crockett36 and want official optional rules for aa

You’re the guy that codes all that stuff? Can I say thank you enough?

Ya. Mostly. We talk back and forth on some stuff and my game and then he maybe try’s it in his play testing and or tweaks it to d6 and plays it if I’m correct. He has many idea tests himself.

Well, this is the place for me. Thanks again.

I hate to ask again but where do I find Taamvans house rules.

superduper

@crockett36

2)Option taamvan Changes the control of Novgorod, Volgograd, Russia Objective to 3 PUs for Germany. Control of Caucasus is also reduced to 3. Also adds a Fighter to Russia and a Armor to Urals.

I’m not sure but he may have updated it with a slight change. You’d have to ask him.

On triplea it’s “Global 40 House Rules” under “Experimental” in map downloads. Works with the “Canada Mod” too. Activated in “Map Options”.

I like where Taamvan added the Russian fig and tank. Its a good start.
