Hi Corpsman,
Welcome to the site.
We suggest that you study the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36945/axis-allies-global-1940-house-rules-expansion/913
This might bring you inspiration for any House Rules that you can imagine.
Best regards

The OOB basic game mechanisms where Japanese Kamikaze cannot attack Transport units also aplies to the G40 HRE Kamikaze rule.
Why:
Historically the Kamikaze units were ordered to target Capital Warships, since these units were High Value Targets.
With the Capital Warships destroyed - Transport units are almost defenseless - and can easily be eliminated.
When a Japanese Strategic Plan includes the use of Kamikaze, it is important that this Strategic Plan also includes a plan for destroying enemy Transport units - to hinder enemy Island Jumping by using the same Transport units again.
Note:
US Transport units in the Pacific almost never return to their homeland in order to be loaded again. Distance is simply to great.
For the US Transport units it is a one-way ticket.
This makes it even more crucial for the Japanese to destroy the US Transport units.
Important:
Naval Warfare in Axis & Allies should be fought with two primary goals:
Why:
Transport units is the only way for any Nation to capture valuable islands - and increase the IPC income level on a massive scale.
By destroying the enemy Transport units - you deny the enemy option to seriously increase the IPC level.
Attack the enemy at the weakest points (Transport units) - and avoid any major Naval Battle unless you can easily win and hinder the enemy Navy from threatening again.
Hi Johnny,
Do you refer to rule where a Japanese Air unit can use up all its spaces and target an Allied War ship ?
