@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.

very nice IL, but did you seriously start a thread for “house rule” pieces in the “other variants” section?!! :-o sorry, couldn’t resist…
-
yea your right…
-
hey, by the way, if you changed the sections around to include release dates and such, bravo, sir, bravo! (if someone else, I guess i’d have to redirect to them, but I have a feeling it was you)
now returning to thread topic…
-
Yes Thank Johnny Marr as well. He is doing a great job updating that thread. This is how i intend to do fact sheets in the future whenever possible.
-
I cannot find any pics of the flaktower, sub pen, etc.
Does anybody know of a link for the Davco line that might have some pictures. -
I can tell you they are in AA scale. The U-boat pen is 2 inch long x 1.5 inch wide, the flak tower is smaller, perhaps .5 inch round.
I have panzerpainter making some flak towers. I will post these pictures.
-
anybody on this forum paint figure for money?
-
Panzerpainter does this.
-
Thanks, I went to his website and have contacted him!
-
Anywhere i can find rader models ?
-
Check out the game Power Barons:
It has plastic pieces: oil derricks and radars.
I use them in AA50.
-
Thanks mate XD but that game is way OOP , any alternative models we can buy separately ?
-
What about the Milton Bradley edition of Axis and Allies, doesn’t it have a white AA gun? You could use the gray AA gun as normal and the white ones as radar? Just a thought?
