@midnight_reaper that’s a cool idea and I might have to try it. However I don’t like the idea of getting advancements for free, which is why I like some sort of facility to buy. Since the G40 R&D board seems to have the better advances on one side I’d say you have to roll a 1-4 to get the 1 column, and 5-6 to get the second. Maybe even through in an added cost to get 1-3 & 4-6. But again with that, I think countries should have to build the facilities in their capitol instead of anywhere and starting with them.
New Neutral Rules
-
Hello, I have been a lurker, but I have come to correct something that I’m sure we have all felt. Obviously, the rules in the game are historically flawed in that all the neutrals would rise up against a power that invaded someone else. My new rules put an end to that. For the first 3 times someone attacks a neutral, every enemy power gets 6 IPCs to spend or save as they see fit, under standard bidding rules. The next 3 times, 12, next 3, 18. This is put in to show the propaganda value and the forces of the neutral government in exile. Thoughts, anyone?

Well, I would see it quite contratry. If a power conquers a neutral state, the conqueror should get an one-time W6 IPC bonus that represents the current local gold deposits. But not before the W6 infantry defenders are taken down, which will arise in the neutral country.

Maybe so, but the gold reserves are based on the IPC value, and I want to make the game playable as well, with the powers attacking to get a consequence, just not as drastic or unrealistic. A country also did not just get wiped of their gold reserves, at least not Germany or the western Allies, who set up administrations.

This is what we do in game. Each neutral has a territory value and some kind of army and a few ships. You can attack them if you want. But u need to capture each neutral territory to get icp income.
If you lose battle then just that lone neutral joins other side.
But we also have a cost to try and influence a strict neutral to your side and you receive the territory value towards income and what is there for the ground troops and a possible ship. Nothing stronger than a Destroyer.
Not all countries can influence the same neutrals. We roll a d20 and a 4 or less u get neutral.
This is just an idea u may look at.
Spain and Turkey have the biggest Amy but cost more for those 2 to try and get.
