Useless Land

I’m sorry but as far as i can see you just quoted yourself and responded to your own post… Am i missing something?

Anyway can you make some time to brefly scan our latest draft that tekky has come up with?

Its that rapid share file thing. Just down load that and comment.

Your somewhat limited time and your skills are wasted in this thread. The useless land thing will be addressed under phase 3 where any map changes go. And we allready decided to give these pacific island some value plus other things.

I just quoted myself so people could more easily read what I originally posted which for some reason caused an argument. That’s all.

I’ll read the Phase 2 stuff, but I just want to be clear…

Axis and Allies Revised: Historic Edition (AARHE) Phase 2 Draft

Discussion of document aspects in here.
Discussion of rules in the respective threads.

uploaded a newer one just for you

Our naval fighters have a reduced range compared to normal fighters. 4 vs. 2.

We’ve also taken the typical air movement restriction of not able to use X-1 movement points to get to your destination. You can only use X/2.

So the Pacific Islands now have a degree of importance.

You can no longer fly a FTR from Japan to Midway. Normal even with Long in Non-Combat with LRA tech.

Getting back to the island value thing I think that in order to make islands more valuable to players there needs to be an increase in zones in the Pacific so that there is a need land in islands thus making people conquer them more. And as for Gibraltar I think that it should close the Med if it is taken because wasn’t it basically a fortress preventing ships from passing through into Atlantic?

If you are going to do that with Gibraltar, the same rules as for the Suez should apply:
Control both, your side only may pass.
Mixed control, neither side may pass

right that remains unchanged from OOB and LHTR

Just a question … why were places like Rio De Oro and Saudi Arabia put in the game just to make it historic or something because they dont do much of ne thing and why is Argentina nuetral wouldn’t it be more on Germany’s side because I mean America gets Brazil (i’m not sure but wasn’t that more sided with Germany?)?

Yeah. The map proportions are inaccurate.
The Med Sea opening is actually wider then English Channel!

And did Algeria have coastal batteries like Gibraltar?

Actually its not useless.
If the nearby areas are fortified you can make an easy/easier landing by attacking the neutrals.
On the other hand it models why people inavded neutrals as even when defending a region. They may have no army, no income, but strategically they needed to.
