Looking for thoughts on some ideas I have for events that would bring a surge of troops to the table so to speak.
I read in one of the optional rules about the US getting an immediate influx of 10 infantry at no charge once war was declared on them or they declared war. I don’t fully recall and am paraphrasing, but the notion was that that sudden influx represented the mobilizing of the National Guard that took place on Dec 8 and after.
If Japan proper was attacked, would there- should there be an immediate influx of volunteers or civilians who’d been training for repelling an invasion? In such a circumstance should Japan get 10 (or more) infantry to defend the home island at no charge?
Should Russia get an infusion of infantry the turn after or maybe 2 after Germany attacks?
Would Germany get such a mass infusion of troops if Germany came under attack- akin to the Volkstrum and the masses of men and boys who picked up arms in the final months?
I have my own ideas but would love to read what others think about my questions.
Cheers,
Chris
Automatic hit for SBRs?

Here’s my line of thinking, The original rules for SBR’s seem well balanced however, the popular house rule of escorts and interceptors (what ever your rule is) have made SBR’s very costly and scare players from even attempting them. We all wish to have our own escort / interceptor house rules because it would be historicaly realistic however, Britian and Germany not bombing each other is definitely not historicaly acurate. This is why a bomber should do more than 1 IPC of damage if they survive AA guns and enemy fighters. Lets balance this once and for all…… how do you introduce escort / interceptor rules to SBR’s and still risk you’re bombers without being called CRAZY?

I have never played a game where 1 power sent 4 bombers in a single turn but I understand your system and its not bad.
We sometimes play with a guy called HB because he only want to play USA and he only like to focus on buying ridiculous numbers of bombers. His knowledge of various bomber statistics is amazing. In games i usually see him attacking Germany with 6-8 bombers. He also hates the fact that the game has no A-bombs because he loves to build them even more!
