Motorized Infantry

I very much like the overall idea. I think you’re doling out too many infantry in too many different places, and the effect will be disruptive to players’ strategies and will require a lot of bookkeeping.

I would cut the bonuses roughly in half, and apply them to only a handful of specific countries that are relatively easier to remember. I would also limit the bonus to territories that start the game in enemy hands, so you don’t get weird see-saw effects as ownership changes hands.

I like the idea of having Paris yield bonus units rather than ‘re-igniting’ the French economy.

JAPAN

India – 5 infantry
French Indo-China – 1 infantry
Western US – 1 infantry

GERMANY

Ukraine – 2 infantry
Baltic States – 1 infantry

ITALY

Egypt – 2 infantry

USSR

Yugoslavia – 2 infantry
Romania – 1 infantry
Manchuria – 1 infantry

UK

Poland – 2 infantry
Norway – 1 infantry
Holland/Belgium – 1 infantry

USA

Paris – 3 infantry, 1 artillery, 1 fighter
Southern Italy – 2 infantry
Okinawa – 1 infantry

ossel, in 1 of my games I do have Light infrantry. There is a cap on how many per country and the A and D is lower than Reg. infrantry.

I will have to look at rule again if your interested in values. I’m guessing there like ( D12 )  A 1, D 2, M 1, C 2.

The authoritative message :), curiously…

Maybe a NA for Japan could be Entreched defenders on Islands + 1 defence on first salvoe

Yeees, Razor like. Butt iff WOTC did business that way, the stock holders will be poor. With lack of Tacs and Mechs we all need to purchase two copies each, and this will make mr. Leeds a very happy man.

@oztea:

Interesting Idea fighter commander, a re-worked tech system with a 3rd and 4th chart, only open to the axis or the allies respectively.

Ive been dabiling with a tech system that locks each country onto a tech tree. It doesnt have to roll for resarch, it just has to pay an R&D fee, as much as it wants each turn, to consistently recive tech.

For example, Germany: for each  3 IPCs germany devoted to R&D, place a tech counter on germany

2 tech counters - Advanced artillery, to represent 88’s
4 tech counters - Rockets, the V2
7 tech counters - Jet Fighers, the Me-109
and so forth

I havent fleshed it out yet, or even gotten anywhere near doing all the other nations.

mmmm personally I think that Wpns Development the general type of breakthru should be elective but the timing of the breakthru should be largely random rather than budgeted

but that’s me… :-D 
And I will confess: I also don’t like NAs unless there’s a reason beyond a strict replay of WW2 (e.g., no Japanese rockets or Russian marines etc.)

Not bad, but I think that infantry includes all that (officers, snipers etc…) when they roll their regular die.

the americans should automatically start with mech inf. at 3 IPC’s per(if they orig. cost 4) the us basically was 100 % mechanized…
