@hengst This house rules forum is full of ideas. To avoid scripted games you need a varaiety ways to win or lose a game in a reasonable amount of time ,eg 8 to 12 rounds.BBR and 3G40 are rulesets that encourage you to win by achieving various victory objectives.(not just victory cities)
3G40 changes turn order,merges Anzac into UKPacific,and sticks pretty close to oob rules.BBR is more complex than oob and is real popular.Both are designed to play in 1 day and to be able to declare a winner.
Commanders unit house rules
-
Hi people, I have done a bit of research on this topic but I’m curious about people’s experience on play tested house rules for commander units.
I’m aware of HBG expansion which is interesting and play tested and I have no issue with it. I’m just a little curious if there are any other tried and tested rules that build on this and work well.
Regards

I have a list of commanders that we use in my game. Been using them for over 3 years now.
I can post list if you want to see it. Couple names need to be removed to maybe another name. -

I prefer the idea of draw chits whereas you pull from a cup for each nation a random leader and can use it only on that turn, then draw another next turn.
The information would have his picture plus a number–the higher the better.
In combat, the number and or type of unit is boosted +1 that first round only in one battle.
Example: turn 2 you draw Rommel as Germany. His leadership rating is 5. The first combat round in one battle, up to FIVE Artillery and Tanks get a +1

@GEN-MANSTEIN yeah sounds good from the point of influence but not overpowering the unit. I will definitely be using this rule and see how it plays.

@Imperious-Leader interesting take on the general unit, a bit like having a random event card.

Well they would be counters for each nation in a cup that you draw randomly. say 1 inch wooden chits with a decal on it. Icons of say a tank or Battleship if the commander effects those. If you draw a chit and don’t own that piece, you just lost that advantage that turn. The next turn you draw another chit. The used chits stay out of the jar, so the design features will balance in total for both Axis and Allies…or not. Depends on the game played…
