This just makes the battles longer and it dosnt add any strategy. How is this realistic?
257  Axis & Allies / House Rules / Re: Our Dream Axis and Allies Games... on: May 01, 2010, 07:24:42 pm

-No stupid errors in the rules

-More realistic rules for production, movement and combat

-faster game play

Thanks, but did you mean UK and USSR together?

Yah, the Soviets took the north and the UK the south.

Yah the Italians had a sizable force of 300,000 in Ethiopia( more than it had in Lybia) although it was defeated relativly easily.

The people who live there are all player haters.(jk)

Oh you mean in terms of WW2 history?

The UK invaded  Iraq in May 1941 because a group pro-nazi generals had taken over. UK also needed Iraq as a base to attack Axis French cotrolled Syria. Helped by the Free French the Allies invaded and conquered Syria in June 1942 and about 1,000 died on each side.

Guderian writes that Hitler considered basing German aircraft and landing German troops in Syria.

The Soveits and UK invaded Iran at about this time for similiar reasons. and if you have covered Africa then you know all about the fighting in Egypt.

I cant think of any other major events except for the Tehran Confrence in late 1943 in which the Big Three met for the first time.
262  Other Forums / World War II History / Re: New Pacific Series on: April 28, 2010, 05:53:50 pm
I loved Band of Brothers(in my top 5 war movies)!

 I was hoping Pacific would be just as good but...

Its a soap opera.

The intro credits are stupid and like ten minutes long! The map at the begining is awk. Band of Brothers is so much better. I apprecaite the battle scenes, but they are still not what they could be. It seems too disjointed and i dont find it as compelling as BoB, maybe that was just the nature of the island campaigns however.

 I would have probably stopped watching it by now, but James Badge Dale "Peaches" is my cousin so its cool seeing him on TV. He has been in 24 and other TV shows and he was the other mole in the Departed.
263  Axis & Allies / Axis & Allies Pacific 1940 / Re: Does anyone buy Tactical Bombers? on: April 24, 2010, 01:09:01 pm
Tac bombers should be allowed to SB air and naval bases.

I buy some tac bombers as it is, but they are too similar to the fighter unit. Its also stupid that in order to attack air and naval bases you need land-based aircraft.
264  Axis & Allies / Axis & Allies Europe 1940 / Re: what are axis or ally neutral on: April 20, 2010, 04:15:39 pm
Larry's exact words on the subject

"What I did:
A territory on the map is either controlled and contributing to one power or the other. If not, they are either neutral, neutral and pro- Axis or neutral and pro ally.

Finland – Presently Finland is being carried as Germany territory for purposes of German IPC income and starting positions. Technically I know this is technically not correct. I don’t want any automatic status changes based on Barbarossa. If I did it this way Finland would require a special rule. Not actually neutral and not actually occupied it would require a special status on the map. I’m not interested in going there with this game. Talk me out of it if you like.

Hungary – Presented as a German controlled territory.

Romania – Presented as a German controlled territory.

Bulgaria – Presently as pro- Axis neutral

Slovakia or Slovakia/Hungary is presented as a German controlled territory"

Maybe he changed his mind on finland.

265  Axis & Allies / Axis & Allies Europe 1940 / Re: what are axis or ally neutral on: April 20, 2010, 04:07:51 pm
Emperor_Taiki thats not correct

Larry has stated that Finland is in fact Pro-Axis Neutral
It has been implied that Hungary and Romania are Pro-Axis Neutral as well



ill have to dig up the exact quote

266  Axis & Allies / Axis & Allies Europe 1940 / Re: what are axis or ally neutral on: April 20, 2010, 01:30:05 pm
From what I remember Larry has dropped that Bulgaria and Iraq are pro-axis neutrals, while Greece and Iran are pro-ally.

He has also mentioned that Hungary, Romania and Finland are treated as oriningaly owned Germany territory.

Besides the four mentioned above I imagine most if not all the neutrals are strick neutrals

Spain and Turkey are defenetly strick neutrals.

What do you mean by panzer?

My favor is the Panzer II because it has class.
269  Axis & Allies / House Rules / Re: Railway on: April 04, 2010, 03:40:38 pm
I dont know,

I think it essentialy does the same think as I said above except I think its slightly more confusing and it deviates from how damage is calcuated for other units and facilities.
270  Axis & Allies / House Rules / Re: Railway on: April 04, 2010, 11:57:37 am
Railway = no cost.

In the rules I presented many railroads wont have a cost assuming they are added to the initial setup. However some railroads were built during the war like by the Japanese in Burma, so for that you have to pay 6-15 ipc per rail connection. I feel thats just as simple and indeed more interesting than just having rail streagth directly connected to the ICs. How does bombing Japan directly take out railroads in Burma?
