Next version is out, so this is no longer needed.
I’m looking for one-on-one games with the proposed changes to test them out. This will be using ABattleMap No tech. I can play multiple games and have no preference for sides. Please respond here so others looking for games can also find partners.
Rules to be observed are all the changes in both blue and red, along with the probable change of the US NO to 10 instead of 15.

I’m on!
I also look to play few more games. I have one game as Axis (now at USA3) and another about to start, again as Axis.
Since you have no preference I would like to try Allies this time.
If you accept, go ahead, start the thread and play G1. :)
Cool. I’m tied up today, but I should be able to get everything up tomorrow.
Nice!

France
When France is at War
Troop Bonus: When the territory of France is liberated, for the first time only, the player controlling this territory immediately places up to 12 IPCs worth of any units on the territory of France.
Rules Changes that Now are Observed.
1. AA Guns are no longer captured; they are removed from play after the territory is captured.
2. Major industrial complexes can no longer be built on foreign territories (this includes upgrading minor ones). Likewise they may no longer be upgraded when captured. The original owner of the territory may upgrade it if the territory is recaptured.
3. If the Soviet Union is at war with Axis powers on only one map, it is still under the restrictions of being a neutral power. In other words, war with Japan lifts those restrictions from the USSR on the Pacific map only, and war with Germany and/or Italy lifts those restrictions on the Europe map only.
4. Scramble rules have been changed. They now read:
Scrambling is a special action that can take place at the beginning of this phase (Phase 3: Conduct Combat (Powers at War Only), and it must be completed before any combat occurs. A quick reaction team of no more than 3 defending fighters and/or tactical bombers (strategic bombers can’t scramble) located on islands and coastal territories that have operative air bases can be scrambled to defend against attacks in the adjacent sea zones. Air units can be scrambled to help friendly naval units in adjoining sea zones that have come under attack. They can also be scrambled to resist amphibious assaults from adjoining sea zones, whether or not the territory being assaulted is the territory containing the airbase. They may defend against the enemy ships conducting the amphibious assault even if friendly ships are not present. In either case, resolve combat as usual during the Conduct Combat phase.
Scrambled fighters and tactical bombers are defending, so refer to their defense values and abilities when resolving combat. They can’t participate in any other battles during that turn, including a battle on the island or territory from which they were scrambled.
In situations where a sea zone is served by more than one airbase, Korea and Japan into sea zone 6 for example, each of the territories (or both in this case) can scramble up to 3 fighters and/or tactical bombers.
To sum it up: If there is a sea battle or an amphibious assault, all neighboring aircraft that meet the scramble requirements can participate in the sea battle.
All scrambled air units must return to their original island or territory from which they were scrambled. If the enemy captures those locations, the units can move one space to land in a friendly territory or on a friendly aircraft carrier. If no such landing space is available, the units are lost. Surviving scrambled air units land during that turn’s Noncombat Move phase, before the attacker makes any movements.
5. Victory Conditions
The game ends after one side or the other achieves its objective, listed below, and maintains it for a complete round of play. In addition, a side must control at least one of its own capitals at the end of that round in order to win
A. Victory for the Allies if: All Axis capitals are under allied control.
B. victory for the axis if they control 6 of the 8 victory cities on the Pacific board.
C. victory for the axis if they control 8 of the 11 victory cities on the Europe board.
6. IPC income from West India (2) now goes to Calcutta.
7. IPC income from British Columbia now goes to London.
Note: With these income changes United Kingdom Pacific now makes 17 IPCs and United Kingdom now makes 28 IPCs
8. All 3 Minor ICs in the continental US automatically are immediately converted to Major ICs when the US is at war. They can be upgraded at any time for 20 IPCs.
9. Strategic Bombing Raids procedure:
• Escorts fire @1, and interceptor casualties are immediately removed.
• Bombers fire @ 1 and interceptors fire @ 2. Remove bomber and interceptor casualties (escorts may be taken as casualties only after all bombers are eliminated).
• Surviving bombers are assigned a target
• The target fires its AA defenses at the attacking aircraft - @1
• Surviving bombers attack their target, looking for the highest number possible.
Prior to the AA fire the surviving bombers are assigned a specific target (IC, airbase or naval base) if more than one type is in the territory.
When bombing, each Strategic bomber rolls one die. The number rolled +2 is the total number of hits the target will receive. Gray chips are placed under the target for each hit received.
Tactical Bombers can also conduct bombing raids. They also roll one die. Again that number rolled is the number of hits the target receives. Do not add to the dice roll when bombing with Tactical bombers.
Tactical bombers follow the exact procedure as presented above. Tactical Bombers are limited to attacking only naval bases and airbases, however.
Damage Repairs… the removal of damage markers, is done during the controlling player’s - Phase 1: Purchase & Repair Units.
IT COST 1 IPCs to remove each damage marker.
Major industrial complexes can only mobilize 10 units per turn minus the number of damage markers they have. For example a major IC with 6 damage markers can produce only 4 units. A major IC can only receive up to 20 damage markers, after that they are no longer assigned.
Minor industrial complexes can only mobilize 3 units per turn minus the number of damage markers they have. For example a minor IC with 2 damage markers can produce only 1 unit. A minor IC can only receive up to 6 damage markers, after that they are no longer assigned damage markers.
Naval bases provide additional range and repairs to naval units. If a naval base has 3 damage markers it can no longer provide these services. A naval base can only receive up to 6 damage markers, after that they are no longer assigned damage markers.
Airbases provide additional range and the ability to scramble. If an airbase has 3 damage markers it can no longer provide these services. An airbase can only receive up to 6 damage markers, after that they are no longer assigned damage markers. Note: Aircraft can still land in territory whose airbase is out of service.
10. The United States may declare war on the Axis if London and/or any territory in North America is captured by an Axis power.
11. The cost of AA guns will be adjusted down from 6 IPCs to 5 IPCs.
12. Submarines no longer fire a special “sneak attack” shot at unescorted transports. Transports are not allowed to unload land units for an amphibious assault in a sea zone containing any enemy subs unless at least one other of his warships was also present in the sea zone at the end of the Combat Move phase.
(Jan 1,11) 13. No neutral power may end its Noncombat Move phase with land units on transports. Movement between Hawaii and the Philippines is the one exception. When moving between Hawaii and the Philippines or vise a versa loaded transports may end their movements in sea zones 22 or 23.
(Jan 4,11)14. Kamikaze attack rules (A&A Pacific 1940 rule -page 14) will be changed to read as follows: Kamikaze attacks can only occur after one or more of the following islands are captured or re-captured by the Allies- Philippines, Marianas, Okinawa, and/or Iwo Jima. Allied surfaced warships entering the Sea of Japan (sea zone 6) will also activate (trigger) kamikaze attacks.
