Hey everybody, greetings from Austria :)

We have a special house rule I would like to share with you.

In July 1943 Mussolini’s regency was overthrown and Italy changed to the side of Allies.
We always wanted to play this significant event in our games and here is how we do it:

As long as Italy keeps its 10 IPCs morale is okay. Is it higher it is even better. But if at the end of the player’s turn the IPCs are below 10 you have to pass a morale test.
9 IPCs - at a dice roll of 6 partisans take “il duce” as prisoner and Italy changes sides.
At 8 IPCs at a dice roll of 5.
At 7 IPCs at a dice roll of 4 a.s.o.

If Italy itself falls into the hand of the Allies, Italy changes automatically sides and if you like it or not has to fight the remaining Axis powers.

This shows how Italy is an unreliable partner and “Third Reich”-player really has to take care of his brother in arms.

I hope you enjoy this house rule and can spice up your games a little bit :)

Greetings,

@koba Good evening
we have rules for weather like that: every round is approximately 3 months. In summer months there is the raining season in South America, Africa and Asia and in Winter severe temperatures in North America, Europe and Sovietunion.
Tanks can not “blitz” during these rounds of play.

World War 2 has seen many upgrades and a rapid development in tank technology. The british Comet, the US Pershing, the german Panzer VI.

To play this we have a heavy tank technology which can be made available after autumn 1942.
Tanks attack on a 4 instead of a 3 which makes them more dangerous on the battlefield.

I hope you enjoy our house rule and a lot of fun while testing.
