Quick fix for Russia/Japan Non Agression

@Megatron it is a large drawback, which is why subs are the cheapest naval unit.

From what I’m reading yes you can move those pieces on your actual turn again.
As midnight said US can make non combat moves to plan.
China have a bit of hope. Lol
Calcutta saved ?
This will give each country some extra planning and moves to think about during turns which was stated to keep players more focused per each countries turn.
Lots of things to check out

Questions always come up about Mongolia in Global and the technicalities involved (who attacks/moves where, etc). To make life easier, I propose making Mongolian TTs pro-Russian neutrals that can be activated by Russia one TT at a time in the NCM phase. This will be considered an act of war against Japan.

Japan in turn can invade any Mongolian TT if it pleases, constituting an act of war against Russia. The remaining Mongolian TTs will stay pro-Russian neutral and not immediately activate.

I find the current rules overly complicated and not necessarily historical: Mongolia was a client state of the USSR and could easily be persuaded to join the war effort against Japan, and did so in 1945.

@Zombie69:

Even though I don’t like house rules in general, I like the OP house rule in conjunction with the HR that allows submerging after one round against DD. The first HR makes subs a little weaker (can’t be used as fodder against planes) while the second makes them stronger (by letting them survive more battles). All in all, I think it balances out. It also has the advantage of being elegant and easy to use.

Glad you see it that way.
A still more simplified HR could be that keeping all OOB DDs rules with Subs and planes, each sides which have Destroyers must say whether or not Subs will be targeted in priority by planes.
If not, then anything but subs must be selected as planes casualties (unless their is nothing else except transports) by the owning player.

actually I was Japan so I was pretty happy with his decision :mrgreen:

use the “mechanized units” for trucks

you can use choppers, hover tanks and delta wing bombers too :mrgreen:

SBR Rules are intersting…

that seems a little complicated though. Besides, getting a fair moderater might prove to be a challange.
