st. petersburg is the window to europe.

if you got some cash in middle class america, you can get a surgery done fairly quick.  Canada wait forever on a list, forever, those lists.

cc, we got a ton more people and the cost of health care we provide is alot due to the poor and especially illegal immigrants.

go outside look up and blow, try to spread the idea.  :-D

because of illegals and medicaid, forget that stuff.  Also in cali you can get the government to pay for liposuction and other cosmetic surgery, the votes were there.  Man californians suck, free lipo, they care way way to much about their image.

well not cause of their religion per se, rather that they acted as a group and had their own groups inside of germany.  Hitler found these groups to be a threat, not because of their religion but because of actions that he deemed went against his authority.

I think organized religion is one of the best inventions ever.  keeps people in line.  If there were no religion who could argue with me that what i am doing is wrong.  I would just say thats your own made up morality and you have no legitimate reasons for thinking yours is better than my morality, as i rob and steal to my benefiet.  I would only see my robbing and stealing as a good thing because it helps me.  Moral probably not, but who could say otherwise?  (looking at it from a secular point of view).

the earth will adapt.  With or without our current co2 emmissions.  we just may have way more thunderstorms to help out.

once again quit dreaming.  Wasnt martin king jr.'s line “I have a dream”.  Gandhi was a huge huge racist, refered to blacks as caffers and said the race was lazy.  They were bs-ing you, big time.  all i’m saying if you believe in the everyone hold hands and dance in a circle crap, go to some mid-east countries or poor places in S america of africa and start talking to them friendly.  They wont care if you are friendly, because they dont want to be your friend.  They hate you and me.  the middle eastern ones would love to kill us, no matter what we do.

has anyone said liberal socialist mindthought.  quit dreaming, the world hates itself, and wont hold hands.

havent seen it frimm, but does al gore talk about the sun putting out more energy at all?  Normal climate change? or is it against people and people are the fault and nothing else, which in my point of view is rediculous because the earth changes itself and adapts.  once again earth system science.

sounds like you’ve take a critical reasoning course.

But its “if a then b”  “b”  “therefore a” or wait is that it, damn gotta go find my book.  Is that modus pollens of modus tolluns?

anyone got another map?

christopher walken is one of my many heros.

A lot has been said lately that the sun could just be putting out more energy.

Liberals i guess dont believe in climate change that isnt man-made

Al gore is a moron, when did conservatives parade around their losers.  Dole?

I dont think global warming is this huge threat ONLY put on by people, but i will concede that we have a little to do with it because of green house gases.  Gore just wont tell you that the earth is always fixing itself and adapting for life.  He needs to take earth system science.

tek, i’ll open a new post and put all rules in there.  Any questions or statements by people can come to this one, not the other.  That should help.  It’s gonna take a while

IL, We still use victory conditions, either minor, major, or total.  Take the cities.  We use the new map.  Carriers, are 16 and hold two, but you can have small 12 ipc carrriers that hold one, and supercarriers that hold 3.  You can even put jets on them.  A whole bunch of new units and different defense and offense hit points are used also.  It evens out here.

With turkey, i didnt even know that was a rule until i started to type.  i overlooked it for a long time.  i usually just took over turkey and then used trn’s to go into black sea and drop off in caucusus.

Japan on the other hand, already has 2 IC’s at the beginning of the game.  With heavy units tech, you can build heavy infantry.  That makes up for the 3 and 2 respectivley.  Heavy inf, attack on 2’s, or 3’s on bonzai charges, defend on 4’s on islands and have to be hit twice to die.  One hit drops them to regular infantry.  There’s alot going on.

The soviets we have had no problem with, because even with reduced effectivness, they get all those heavy inf, all those free units after each turn, russian winter, and more help by national rules.

The transport rules have been overlooked cause they are rediculous.  One tank per tran or two inf per tran.  Air trans can carry inf also.

fighters are only 10 ipc in this rulebook, jets are fifteen.

sorry for being a jerk defending my work here, but this takes time to type, also we have fine tuned some rules and changed little things to make it better.  We’ve been playing this way for 2 to 2 1/2 years.

sadly tanks are 3/2 but heavy tanks which get hit twice are 4/3 then 3/2.  i think it works well.

no.

dont knock until you’ve tried it.  Its better than the house rules here for sure.  You guys still use rules that dont make sense.  It takes awhile but you have a really different twist to the game and not stacking.  I dont see how you could do that once the nukes come into play, you’d loose all your stacked people.

i believe your wrong IL.  For two years we’ve been using these rules.  Much better than the rules we used to play by.  They are not even close to being all typed up.  It makes for a much greater game.  Ifantry stacking is nothing we encounter b/c of heavy infantry, new artillery rules and heavy tanks.  Its all much much better.  We tend to think the game is much better with all of the new rules in play. (except a few, which i will get to while posting rules).

Jen, i dont know what a pdf is.  or how to do it. notice i still dont know how to quite work the quote button on these forums.  I only have about 20 more posts to go, maybe 25.

thats one is terrible.  I’ve seen two after this one 3.  priceton of all places has no liberal bias eh.  Kind of reminds me of berkely universities “scientific studies”.

Required rules also.

Players may not build new IC’s

Placement of naval units in enemy occupied sea zones is allowed

Must use alternate turn order.  US, G, Russia, japan, and GB in that order.

COMBAT AIRCRAFT LANDINGS

Attacking aircraft must land immediately after their battle is resolved, before going on to the next battle. (choose which battles you do in a careful order).  You do not land in noncombat movement.

ONE SEA ZONE RULE

Fighters and bombers may enter 1 sea zone when flying to a battle.  When returning from a battle they may enter one sea zone.  Exception- when bombing IC’s bombers may enter one or two sea zones when flying to their targets and one or two sea zones when returning.  (many questions we had for this one, rules later help understand limits) i can answer q’s

the one sea zone rule does not apply to noncombat movement

if you attack from an island with planes the opposing navy must be in the sea zone surrounding the island

CARRIERS AND FIGHTERS

can only carry fighters of own nation.

a fighters flight range from a carrier to its target is always 1

the carrier can move 1 or two zones before launching its fighters into combat, but must end its turn after doing so.  after combat returning fighters must return to their original carrier (keep these movements tracked)

Fighters can be attached or detached from a carrier only on noncombat move cycle.  They may not be used in attacking on the turn of their assignment or detachment.

land based fighters can not land on a carrier after attacking.

If the carrier based fighters carrier is destroyed, then it must land on another carrier.  If no other carrier, it may then land in an adjacent friendly territory.  If no adj. friendly terr. then the fighter is lost.

in noncombat a carrier may not move 2 spaces and then launch a fighter with its range of 4

PLACING NEW FIGHTERS AND NEW CARRIERS

New fighters may be placed on new carriers built by the same factory.  New fighters can also be placed on existing carriers in an adjacent sea zone.  Fighters that were not built but at the territory as the IC may be placed on a new carrier built by the IC if the fighters didn’t attack on that turn.

AIRCRAFT FLIGHT RANGE LIMITS

except for carrier fighters and bombers on a SBR, fighters and bombers have a combat range of two to the attack point and a range of two while returning.  Two in and two out. total of four.

Bombers on SBR

they have a movement of 3 towards and 3 away to land.  3 in and 3 out.

NONCOMBAT RANGE
fighters have 4 and bombers have 6 in the noncombat move.

The new way for the Map: Clarifications  (IF some of this doesnt make sense at first, wait till the whole thing is done, will take some time).  there is a lot to write down yet.

Anyone who controls the panama canal can treat the sea areas on each side of it as one zone for naval ship movement.  Airplanes can ignore the panama land area as a space when moving across from one sea zone to the other.

West Canada is adjacent to the sea zone  in East canada for air movement only.  Not for ships.

S. Africa is not considered adjacent to the mozambique sea area for naval transports or amphibious assaults.  Its is adjacent for air movement.

LAnd and air units can move between turkey and eastern europe as they would over the suez canal. (helps a ton) :-D

Black sea.  Naval movement b/w the black and med. sea needs the control of turkey by the same power. except america and britain which both can use if one owns.  The naval movement to eastern europe from the med.sea must go through the black sea.

Gibralter.  Redraw the sean zone boundry b/w spain and algeria so that it lies b/w Gibraltar and alergia instead.  Contol of Gibraltar is REQUIRED for naval movement b/w the West Spain sea zone and the Eastern med. sea zone.  Subs on non-combat moves can move past enemy controlled gibratlar.  Contol of algeria has no effect on sea movement.

Baltic sea.  Control of Western europe AND norway is required to move in and out of the baltic to the UK sea zone and vice versa. (except for subs in noncombat move).  Sweden must be neutral or controlled.

Control of Territory.  control of territory is determined at the instant of use.  If the Suez is captured by the germans, he may move his navy through the suez on the turn of capture.  Aircraft MAY land in just captured territory, even aircraft that just took part in the attack on that territory.  (awesome, i know).  An IC must be controlled by a player for his entire turn in order to place units there at the end of his turn.

Neutral countries.  You can attack them without paying a 3 ipc penalty.  When you attack a neutral of violate the airspace by flying over, your opponent whose capital is closest to that neutral country rolls 3 dice.  Exception, if you attack turkey or spain, 6 dice are rolled.  The result of the roles is how much ipc’s your opponent recieves to immediately spend on land or air units to place in said country to defend against the attack.  All neutrals have an economic ipc value of 1 when they are controlled by a player. (dont forget).

i can answer any questions.  I will put down units and retreat options after the simpsons.
