@mark-the-shark @Chris_Henry I was thinking of sending the old maps to HGB and to HGB, for a price, print the new board over the old one

@linkler thanks I didn’t know that.

@david-06 edit for the T-34/85

Mov: 2
Cost: 7

SPs:
Can Blitz. Target selection 1-3 (armor class units)

@chris_henry I think it would be nice if poeple could send in their old maps ( like v2, v3) to they print the new map over the old one(for a cheaper price)

@linkler I like the Idea but I’m not so sure about the launching from planes. Same for the subs except that would be really cool (kind of a cold war twist). I would like to add on to that combining B-29 going nuclear by these text

long-range nuclear rocket
requires nuclear tech, and rocket tech and nuclear reactor to build
attack: 2 D12 carpet bombing at an 8 or lower (4D12 in cities) with a D6 amount of damage to the area to the IPP value (cannot lose more that land zone IPP value per zone per calendar turn)
Range 6
Moves by rail/ naval transport
Cost: 8 IPPs with 2 uranium and 2 heavy water

sub launched nuclear rocket
requires nuclear tech, and rocket tech and nuclear reactor to build
attack: 2 D12 carpet bombing at an 8 or lower with a D6 amount of damage using the same procedure that the V-2 uses
Range 3
Moves by rail/ naval transport
Can be transported/launched from submarines (req. advanced submarine technology(1 rocket per sub))
Cost: 4 IPPs with 1 uranium and 1 heavy water

I also was once thinking about this and I came up with this:
Operations Trio Axis
maps
basically you do this:
start sending the subs along British convoy lines
send 1 mountain inf or artillery to nationalist Spain each turn starting jul 1936
anex austria, bohemia, and slovakia in 3 turns
spend 12 IPPs over time on researching advanced artillery, advanced mech inf, wartime economy, and advanced subs
before jul 1938 you buy 4 infantry, 3 artillery
send over 4 inf and 3 art to east Prussia
on jul 1938 you buy 5 MA, 5 mech inf.
set the units up as show on map (link above)
for jul 1939 (so on jan 1939) build 2 mech and 2 MA and 2 inf.
for jan 1940 build 2 more subs, build up western defenses
that’s germany, now for Italy

send 1 inf. each turn to nationalist spain
build 2 minor factories, 1 in italian Somaliland, one in Torbuk
start building infantry in these areas, 1 each turn and sometimes build an artillery
on jul or jan 1939 rush Tunisia, western Egypt and Nubia, and reinforce these positions, build up an army in northern Italy, destroy British fleet near eastern Egypt
when you’re ready invade southern France and every once in a while you do suicide attacks to Paris, germany sends some La to southern france

after that its basically doing what’s neccesary

Any thoughts on this strategy?

@delaja about the 0 ipp in jul 1939. isn’t it a bit historicall inaccurate considering there was no opposition to the stalinist rule since 1929?
just my 2 ipcs

@delaja Thanks for the info!

@linkler Yeah it was fun. They did though launched V-1s from ramps
@GEN-MANSTEIN thanks for the info
I think that this should be the final results based on the commentary

V - 1 rocket
Vehicle class
Single use
Req. strategic rockets tech stage 1 and jet fighter stage 2
Cost $1
Range 3
Attack 1 D6 vs/ facilties
Carpet bomb 1 D12 @ 2
Moves via rail/ naval transport only
Can be intercepted/ shot down by AA

V - 2
Vehicle class
Single use
Req. strategic rockets tech
Cost $4
Range 3
Attack 1 D6 vs/ facilties
Carpet bomb 1 D12 @ 2
Moves via rail/ naval transport only

V - 1 rocket
Vehicle class
Single use
Req. strategic rockets tech stage 3 and jet fighter stage 4
Cost $2
Range 3
Attack 1 D6 vs/ facilties
Carpet bomb 1 D12 @ 2
Moves via rail/ naval transport only
Can be intercepted(but at a 2 for all fighters to stimulate that they can’t shot it down or it will explode)/ shot down by AA

@linkler for the V-1 tech you should need is:

1.strategic rockets stage 2
2.jet fighters stage 2

the V-1 used a pulsejet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argus_As_014
also, I think that the V-1 should not be able to be strategically bombed because of its size

@linkler I think this could be a better stat
V - 1 rocket
Vehicle class
Single use
Req. strategic rockets tech stage 1 and jet fighter stage 2
Cost $1
Range 3
Attack 1 D6 vs/ facilties
Carpet bomb 1 D12 @ 2
Moves via rail/ naval transport only
Can be intercepted/ shot down by AA

V - 2
Vehicle class
Single use
Req. strategic rockets tech (since that’s what its for)
Cost $3
Range 3
Attack 1 D6 vs/ facilties
Carpet bomb 1 D12 @ 2
Needs to be launched out of an airbase
Moves via rail/ naval transport only

@linkler But the navigation was measure with amount of fuel. The Germans would have to know exactly the time and place that the convoy would be passing.

@linkler V-2’ maximum speed is 3,580 mph the jet fighters of that time can only go <600 mph

@linkler Didn’t V-1 rockets hold way more explosives than V-2s?

Going on to Russian Tanks, the Prices of the T-34 dropped overtime.

T-34 model 1941
Atk: 5
Def: 5
Mov: 2
Cost: 6

SPs:
Can Blitz. Can only be hit on a 1 (the turn Germans do Operation Barbarossa) but if the Russians build more than 3 of these tanks this effect get negated. Can only hit HA or Pz 5 on a 1. When attacking with this tank and you roll a 12 this tank retreats.

T-34 model 1942
Atk: 5
Def: 4
Mov: 2
Cost: 5

SPs:
Can Blitz. Can only hit HA or Pz 5 on a 1. When attacking with this tank and you roll a 12 this tank retreats. Available Jan 1942

T-34/85
Atk: 5
Def: 5
Mov: 2
Cost: 5

SPs:
Can Blitz. When attacking with this tank and you roll a 12 this tank retreats. Available Jan 1944.

@david-06 these weaknesses only apply to Panzer IIIs and IVs built before jan 1942 and can be upgraded (the ones built before jan 1942) for 1 IPP per tank

Shouldn’t people be able to launch rockets from air bases? I was thinking a 4 IPP rocket base and a 2 IPP rocket. Also I think it is a really good Idea to have V-1 rockets, which are you can build when you have stage 2 tech for strat rockets. Thier cost is 3 IPPs, carpet bomb at a 8 @1 D12, and strat Bomb at 2 D6. The thing is, they could be intercepted by fighters normally and shot down by AA

I was thinking since in the early part of world war II, the Germans used the Panzer III and Panzer IV. The Panzer III war used for anti-tank Purposes and the Panzer IV for infantry unit, I think. So here’s the stats for the proposed tanks

Pz. IV
atk.: 7
Def. 7
Mov: 2
Cost: 6

SPs:
Can only cause a hit on a MA or HA on a roll of 2 or less. Can blitz.

Pz. III
Atk: 5
Def: 4
Mov: 2
Cost: 6

SPs:
Target selection on 1-2 (vehicle class units). Could Blitz. Can’t target select HA.
