Actually their armed forces weren’t stronger than Russia’s. They didn’t have carriers, their tanks were flawed, etc. But still to balance the game do give them a strong army.

RE: Where does E.T. come from?posted in General Discussion
Do you mean intelligent life or one-celled bacteria?
There’s a high probability that aliens do exist, but nobody knows for sure.
Isaac Asimov didn’t include aliens in his Foundation series, I don’t know why–can someone tell me

RE: AARHE: Phase2: Game Sequenceposted in House Rules
In WWII countries didn’t really wait for their enemies to move first. What if we just let the players take their turns at the same time, for example write their moves? I know this is not original but this is AAR ‘Historical’ Edition, right?

RE: The Map Modification Questionposted in House Rules
Hey Imperial, maybe a few map changes won’t work. I’m thinking of only two changes anyway. Like splitting Norway into 2 territories: Norway and Finland. And separating Greece and Italy instead of the collective “Southern Europe,” so Italy can have at least 4 VCs

RE: AARHE: Phase 2: Neutralsposted in House Rules
Maybe this will solve the problem (it still needs a little bit of modifications though):
Snowy terrain: When attacking snowy territories roll a die. If you roll a 6 sacrifice 2 units. If you roll a 5, sacrifice 1 unit. A roll of 4 or less doesn’t do anything.
Desert terrain: Only tanks and aircraft can pass through desert terrain.
Mountainous terrain: Only aircraft can pass through mountainous terrain.
Mongolia–Mountainous terrain
Himalaya–Mountainous terrain
Russia, Soviet Far East, Buryatia SSR–Snowy terrain
Sahara: Desert terrain
Southern Europe: Mountainous terrain
Greenland: Snowy terrain
Alaska: Snowy terrain
Saudi Arabia: Desert terrain*PS–I know I post things everywhere but I promise I’m still working on NA’s

@Imperious:
Gen AlexanderPatch: currently your working on NA’s if you want to tackle national victory conditions that would be fine. j
No, let Adonai do it…I’m kinda busy with NA’s, it’s something I really enjoy. Keep comments to a minimum

RE: AARHE: Phase 2: Neutralsposted in House Rules
Nah. Some of them aren’t that crucial as Mongolia

@Guerrilla:
Non Aggression Treaty
If Mongolia is invaded Russians place 3 Siberian Shock Troops and a tank there for free.Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
“…However, Soviet Red Army troops in Mongolia amounted to little more than instructors for the native army…”

@Imperious:
+++ perhaps china needs to be more independant rather than tied to US VC conditions. not sure
I’m with the idea of making China an independent power in the optional rules. Chiang Kai-Shek wasn’t really pro-American, he just wanted Western military aid and precious Lend-Lease supplies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiang_Kai_Shek#Wartime_leader_of_China).
nyway if you guys aren’t tired of this project yet we could create NA’s for China. Tekkyy whadya think?

RE: AARHE: Phase 2: Neutralsposted in House Rules
Okay so GG is right. But we should increase it to 2 INF, because if not the once Japan captures it and then it would march unopposed all the way to Moscow.

RE: AARHE: Phase 2: National victory conditionsposted in House Rules
It seems silly to set a single goal for each nation. There were always multiple goals they were working towards. Instead of putting one goal, perhaps multiple goals should be created and NVP (National Victory Points) assigned to each? Players must then concentrate on both team victory and a number of smaller concerns.
Ok, so I wrote from scratch 3 victory conditions each power:
Soviet Union:
1. Spread communism–2 points for each non-red territory you have at the end of the game, -2 for each red territory you don’t control
2. Be the first at Berlin–8 points for capturing Germany
3. Establish a powerful economy–If you reach a NP of 30, you get 10 pointsGermany:
1. Crush the red armies–You get 1 point for each Soviet tank or artillery you destroy, 2 points for aircraft, 3 for warships
2. Blockade Britain–At the end of the game if you control at least 4 sea zones surrounding Britain you get 10 pts
3. Invent “miracle” weapons–For each technology you succesfully research you get 5 pointsGreat Britain:
1. Be the first at Berlin–8 points for capturing Germany
2. Tame the U-boat menace–3 points for each German submarine sunk
3. Contain communism–For each red territory the Soviet Union doesn’t control at the end of the game, you get 2 pointsJapan:
1. Replenish oil resources–If you capture Anglo-Egypt, Trans-Jordan, and Persia you get 3 points each
2. Invade China–If you capture China or Sinkiang you get 2 points each
3. Establish naval superiority–2 points for each US warship sunkUSA:
1. Liberate the Philippines–5 points for capturing the Philippine Islands
2. Be the first at Berlin–8 points for capturing Germany
3. Reestablish naval strentgh–For each ship you build, 3 pointsIs this system too complicated? Is it historically inaccurate? Ideas, anyone

RE: Release dateposted in Axis & Allies: Battle of the Bulge
Cool… Do you think Axis and Allies should be a pieces game rather than “abstract”
-
RE: Release dateposted in Axis & Allies: Battle of the Bulge
What’s gonna be new in the game? Fortifications? I hope they add more pieces

Why should Eire be pro-UK? The IRA hates British people

RE: AARHE: Phase 2: Unitsposted in House Rules
I always liked the idea of having special units per player… Perhaps jet fighters for Germany, jet bombers for USA, flying boats for UK…

RE: AARHE: Phase 2: National victory conditionsposted in House Rules
@Imperious:
the map and a second map with Italy and all the map changes we agree to.
What, I never saw the map, can you post it on the web? Thanks

RE: AARHE: Phase 2: Unitsposted in House Rules
how bout soviet guard units?
Yeah, I like the Red Guard
( how bout those special forgore units?– my spelling is off but Italy maintained about 12-15 special mech armor divisions)
Ok but I just thought snipers (Bersaglieri) were better since we don’t have snipers yet
