A game in the making….....

only unit that you might want to add is guerillas

@GeZe:

do you mean-

level 1 inf, would by basicly civilians with guns (no training) , the would be cheap as they only require 2 resorces, people and a tiny bit of steel and explosive(for the guns)

No way, leave 'em as just civilians with no guns! Human shield style baby… from South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut: “now remember human shield, protect all tanks and planes too!” camera cuts to people tied to tanks and planes ahhh yes I love that movie. I’ll be sure not to quote it too much, don’t wanna get kicked off :roll:

Guerrillas…they’re just un-uniformed snipers that don’t have a central command to take orders from.you cannot shoot what you cannot find is there motto(which they can act out fine). they for defense alone, attacking the leaders in order to remove command from the troops get unorganized.Noticed that there is a little white spot in axis and allies in the middle of the europe: Switzerland… it was not attacked because it was infested with a hoard(850,000 to be exact)of snipers.cruel bunch :evil: . it’s whole pop. was(and still is) a guerrilla army (but you probably already know that so why 'em I rambling on.) Russia used them to massacre the germans by hitting them from behind by doing scorched earth and the french had a huge guerrilla force that numbered in the thousands giving the germans a headache… so there some ideas to use guerrillas. everyone should have some minor guerrilla force. all nuetrals have them(they did) so it is a big deterrent to the big powers.

example: take total pop.(ipc level) thats how many d6 you get. Guerrillas get a first 2 d6 shot at the enemy with no return fire on first round cont. as normally does not affect air battles, SBR ect.

or take this one: every country has a pop. in support of the war(which swings in support after victories or shuns it….) that determines guerilla activity after the battle and during. whatever does support you can either use to dispel a unit from the battle (i.e. blew up the bridge so they couldn’t advance…) or you force one to retreat which including the above doesn’t cost a dime or the 2d6… or d-day happens and french guerillas assist the allies as a fighting force… I dunno it probably doesn’t hold water as an idea that is very affective you take it as you see it… but I do like the human shields 8)

so geze how is the game coming along

4 in a row…is that the longest string of non-registered members posting? lol just looked kinda weird, I think it is :) maybe it even woulda kept going if I didn’t ruin it just now

@GeZe:

the units-
if you can think of anything I have missed please write

sorry for posting so long. “if you can think of anything I have missed please write”, this is why I posted. the idea just struck me and so I decided to write it out. I was done posting after my fourth one; it just came to me slowly as I thought about it and I had to implement it to the game in my mind. but again it’s geze’s decision to take it or leave it…

I’ve read the thread and think this new game idea sounds great!

What countries does it include?

(United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, U.S.S.R., Japan, U.S.A., China, etc.)

How will neutral countries be incorporated? Any type of army to fight or just the traditional A&A I.P.C. fees?

Also, I would like to hear your ideas as to the special forces (infantry units) for each country.

Perhaps – Rangers, SS Troops, Red Guard, Marines … I like the guerilla unit idea as well.

Perhaps make the low-level U.S.A. infantry … National Guard?

Or instead of given each country’s special infantry a name – given them a special ability (such as the banzai attack for the Japanese

Some other ideas are wepon specialist (or variety) infantry units … such as – flamethrower, snipers (unless this will be guerillas), grenadiers, paratroopers, perhaps a medic of some sort?

Just some ideas…

Not sure if some of these would be possible … but, I thought I’d try to help out with some different thoughts.

Also, besides having different levels of infantry … how about having heavy, medium and light armour and planes? Maybe some country-specific “special” units (such as – Russia having the T-34’s with superior attack & defense capabilities, U.K. having a special fighter unit to represent it’s “Royal” airforce, Germany’s Panzer tanks having 3 movement for it’s Blitzkrieg warfare, and the U.S. having a “heavy” transport ship … or something along those lines).

The more units, countries, etc. the better.

As turtle stated at the begining of the thread “bigger=better”.

One more suggestion – on the map size issue … how about offering the 1m X 1.7m map with the game and also offering a larger map as an enhancement for those who would like to purchase it (or perhaps giving the buyer an option with two different prices).

Hope this helps some.

When and where is this going to be available?

Keep up the good work!

just one thing you mentioned that I want to point out …when I was posting about guerrillas I was thinking more on the lines that they are either invisible or they are not brought into play unless the territory is attacked. not like a “hired” national guard. even today there is a state militia that you can join and a national guard and some NG units are deployed in Iraq…but I have not heard of militia units deployed there. they can only do hits when invaded or disruption of enemy infrastructure once some enemy holds it…but of course Geze take what I say here as you see it…But Mista, I like your thought on medics flamthrowers etc. I thought about one time making it so you have to arm the different bombers with different ammo(torpedoes, 500 lb. bomb, building buster 1000 lb. etc.) but I was getting down to city level before I gave it up :D

cheers for now

I’ve been giving this topic some more thought … how about having units that upgrade or get better based on EXPERIENCE.

Something like the following:

If defensive units survive the battle – their defense is raised one point.
If offensive units survive the battle – their offense is raised one point.

Or perhaps, make it every two battles survived and maybe place a limit on how many times both the defense and offense is raised (like two max.).

This would add combat experience as a whole new dimension to the game. Could be something like (Green, Regular, Veteran and Elite Units). Or if establishing a maximum of increase of two (Regular, Veteran and Elite units).

This could be different for each type of unit (due to some units already have such a high attack or defend roll – like a battleship).

Not sure how complicated this would be to keep up with, but it seems like a pretty good idea to me and it would kind of reward your units and make you want to attack a little more.
