AA50: House Rules

@The-Captain

The Self Propelled Artillery should be interesting. I have always thought it was a needed unit.
I came up with one for G 40 House rules but that was with Tanks costing 6 bucks.

At any rate, I’m thinking the Reich should benefit the most on the E Front. If the Yanks can get into SFE with Armored Inf, they could as well.

Will be a fun unit to try out :)

I just finished it for the next triplea update. Still have some other stuff to do but these are the images I used from Joe Pants and Veqryn.

I colorized, so if anyone wants to improve them please do :)

Thanks for the new Unit :)

Edit
Should promote some more Mech Inf buys. Soviets still probably go Mass Tanks as they usually don’t have enough dough to much more than that.

Maybe get one Total Mech buy in. Total Tanks still a better deal than the SPAs.

Anyway, they’re limited, so can’t be spammed. Really looking forward to trying them out :)

@seancb Read all of it, very nice :) I always wanted to make “events” for A&A games but it makes the games much more complicated. I will have to reformat everything and print it neatly so everyone can understand the rules and what they roll :grin:

Very old thread but hopefully more people can read it once I comment :)

German rockets in WWII had no military value except maybe for the allies. The resources the germans wasted on rockets would have been better used on more conventional military hardware. Their rockets were nothing more than terrorist weapons. If it makes the game more enjoyable for you to have a German NA for rockets then have at it.

I added various links and made some changes to the first three parts of the rules, technology, and units.

@FieldMarshalGames:

LETS GET 'EM CANADA!

When and where can I get THESE BABIES!!!

What taste better, an apple or an orange?
Depends on the person.

Like Cmdr Jennifer said:
@Cmdr:

The destroyer in my mind is the submarine of old with the ability to defend itself against air attack in place of the sneak shot ability.

In my mind, the submarine is the new piece on the board.  Here’s a cheap unit you can toss out for naval attacks and it helps keep your opponent honest.

The sub is a new type of unit, which acts differently than in any other A&A games.

Sure, there are some things we miss about it - but now subs can move about without getting hit by aircraft!

This is awesome!  :-D

A side note: sub stalling is not a problem any more. (A&A Pacific)

Think of subs as a different unit, with new strategies to come up with.

Think of subs as an attackers unit.    :-)

One example, after the US fleet has moved away from sz56 (West coast), subs can be mobilized in sz56 and catch up with the main fleet with out needing AC/ftr protection from Japan’s aircraft.

Well i love these house rules man 19 posts! in 1 chat board!@!

Anyways, i’m new here as well and imperious could tell you how bad i am when i 1st came here and i am.
Anyways love some of the ideas (i will admit that i scimmed)  anyways ya well maybe you could have done a few less posts unstead of doing pg: 1,2,3,4,5 … etc.

Yeah, on that note, I may have voted for Game Balance, because what’s the point of playing if the scales are already tilted one way? But that’s mostly in reference to playing Traditional. Our standing house rule is basically, “Never play the way WWII actually went down. Switch up allies whenever a nation gets eliminated.” If you do it that way, versatility usually comes about of its own accord. :wink:
