ready to lay down some new rules for a new revised A&A world version.

[balungaloaf]

May be in segments.  Still waiting to see if legal.  Letting you all check it out for yourselves, hopefully you'll find it appeasing to the A&A palate.

Ok, axis and allies enhanced realism rules by the guy who made the game.  First off Imperious leader, he realized that the americans and brits should not be able to go into russia.  Thats under the new "stalinist paranoia" rule. no more of that.  Theres also a bolsievazation clause, and more importantly he goes into depth in the china territories which he includes the 3 orange china areas owned by japan to count as china land under occupation and there are some new rules to go with that.  Question, can i type this on word, and then copy paste onto here?

[Imperious Leader]

Yes by all means.. it does not matter where the ideas come from. This is not a problem. That chap has some good ideas but others are not that good. We'll have to sort them out.

[balungaloaf]

EXCELLENT!  ok, he says the game is supposed to be played this way, but of course there is some tweaking to be done, which me and my friends have.  I'll give you all the rules.  Then how me and my buddy molded a few so there isnt a nuclear oblivion every game. I'll be glad to answer some questions also.

[Imperious Leader]

Who is this "he" ...R.D. baker? you mean you know him?

[balungaloaf]

yes, but i dont know him.  I'll paraphrase the intro. "I've worked on these rules for more than ten years, trying many different combinations to create a more historically accurate game.  Many earlier modifications were discarded due to complexity or new pieces and boards.  These rules rely on the existing map, with just a few changes to make the map work more realistically and i offer a slightly greater variety of unit types.  There is a lot of new information, affecting about every aspect of the game, and i suggest adding one rule per game until all rules are learned (forget that its not too hard).  These rules work best for face-to-face games rather than by email however a pbem protocol is under development.  If you have any questions contact www.axisandalliesrealism.com or email at RDBaker43@starpower.net

there that's the intro Imperious, but yes the new rules are how R.D. baker says he intends the game to be played now.  This booket is 65 pages long.  Bear with me.  I'll begin either friday or saturday.

oh yes the enhanced realism rules

by the way does anyone actually but the book?
its all on the website right?

[balungaloaf]

i have the book, its not on the website.  soon it will be on this site.  Then i will want to play a game, and take the time to learn how to online.  My mind couldnt take trying to go back to the old rules.  It'll take a few dang days to post however.  Its way better, have you played this way tek?

[Imperious Leader]

I have this book. I bought it on amazon in like 1997. Its got a few ideas, but some of it is dated by newer ideas. Its actually posted on some site, but i forgot where.

I already take on some of this as my "House Rules."

The ones I found useful I posted on Pg 14 of Phase 3.

But some others can be added as well.

[balungaloaf]

if you have the booklet also, why didnt you know about the stalinist paranoia clause?  Theres a ton to the book, and its better if you use mostly all their rules.  We made a small change in the artillery, because we decided its better to still use AA guns in the game.  There's alot to add to those websites.  they just give you a little.

[balungaloaf]

those postings have the IC used in a way i dont like.  The book has set standards which i like better because it makes more sense.  The booklet is uniform to each other.  If you use some of the rules from those sites, you would have to go and change other rules to make it even.  The way me and my buddies got it makes a even game that lasts a long long time.

[Imperious Leader]

Thats why i say "it has some outdated ideas" because it came out and was designed for 2nd edition. The rules about china and Russia are great, while some others are just good ideas. It can only be used in pieces due to some ideas that simply dont work anymore.

[tekkyy]

nope I haven't actually played enhanced realism rules
but I was aware of it before I bought the game!

however several popular elements often appear or adapated into other house rules and variants

as for using all rules, I agree
like National Advantages, I won't think there should be any picking
