Russian Super Weapons expansion No Unit Limit?

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.

Do you get to still upgrade 2 units to guards status for taking over a zone if there are no enemy units present when you take it over ?

@insanehoshi “Option 1: Have a deck of cards that you draw a certain number and resolve before the game begins. Lots of options to represent historical and alt-historical events. Ex: “Trotsky Takes Power” - you now play as, instead of the ‘Communism in One Country’ Stalin, you play as the ‘Worldwide Revolution’ Trotsky.”

I would like to also include harry turtledoves world war series as an alt-history event though it might be too sci-fi

@delaja Thanks! Yeah, I thought it had a decent base to it. Just as you said, I was trying to think specifically in terms of an HBG expansion. I wanted it to stay localized to the area at hand.

My thought for requiring the planes on the islands was to force the player to have to do something to get the bonus convoy raid other than just possessing the territory. True, the overall goal is to bring those islands into the conflict in some way, and by eliminating the need to have a fighter present on either Malta or Sicily you’d still want to defend the islands with troops. But I figured this way either side would have to “give” something to “get” something. You want the convoy raid? Place a fighter in these spots, even if not optimal for potential offensive operations!

I’m certainly happy to chat more about it if you’d like as well! Will and Doug both implied they liked it. But like I said, they said it looked great, and asked if I play tested, and I didn’t hear anything after that. Not saying they had to or anything, but I don’t know how much stock they may have really put in it in the end!

It doesn’t hurt to have one of each because they can also receive lend lease from the Americans. It just gives you that option.

I use British units for ANZAC and paint them.

I’d actually discussed this in the below thread way back in 2015 haha.

@Midnight_Reaper
No, I just didn’t clarify my question.

Global War recently released Zombie and Atlantis expansions, has anyone tried either of those? They look like they would be lots of fun and a good way to spice up an otherwise traditional wargame scenario.
