Non-Harris Design Website link to Alpha + 1 Rules

  • '20 '19 '18 '15 '13

    Can someone post here, the newest Alpha setup for me - not just link to Harris Design website. Because I am based in Singapore, my IP address is not allowed to access Larry’s website. Thanks!


  • I believe the basic idea is that you do have to offer suggestions and report flaws/disbalance and all that at uncle Larry’s site. But if you cannot access it (weird :? ). Here is the setup itself:

    Alpha+.1
    Simply stated, the following rules are the results of combining an adjusted Scenario Alpha with rule changes to Europe 40. These rules are therefore the new Global rules of these two combined games. This combining of the two game also presented an opportunity to incorporate several popular and/or often requested new features. Enjoy! This is to serve as a guide for playtesting. As a result of your playtest efforts this document will (perhaps) be changing periodically. All such changes will be entered in red. Be sure to check here for the latest changes before actually conducting a playtest.

    Thanks for your efforts,

    France
    When France is at War
    Troop Bonus: When the territory of France is liberated, for the first time only, the player controlling this territory immediately places up to 12 IPCs worth of any units on the territory of France.

    Rules Changes that Now are Observed.
    1. AA Guns are no longer captured; they are removed from play after the territory is captured.

    2. Major industrial complexes can no longer be built on foreign territories (this includes upgrading minor ones). Likewise they may no longer be upgraded when captured. The original owner of the territory may upgrade it if the territory is recaptured.

    3. If the Soviet Union is at war with Axis powers on only one map, it is still under the restrictions of being a neutral power. In other words, war with Japan lifts those restrictions from the USSR on the Pacific map only, and war with Germany and/or Italy lifts those restrictions on the Europe map only.

    4. Scramble rules have been changed. They now read:
    Scrambling is a special action that can take place at the beginning of this phase (Phase 3: Conduct Combat (Powers at War Only), and it must be completed before any combat occurs. A quick reaction team of no more than 3 defending fighters and/or tactical bombers (strategic bombers can’t scramble) located on islands and coastal territories that have operative air bases can be scrambled to defend against attacks in the adjacent sea zones. Air units can only be scrambled to help friendly naval units in adjoining sea zones that have come under attack, or they can also be scrambled to resist an amphibious assault. They may defend against the enemy ships conducting the amphibious assault even if friendly ships are not present. In either case, resolve combat as usual during the Conduct Combat phase.

    Scrambled fighters and tactical bombers are defending, so refer to their defense values and abilities when resolving combat. They can’t participate in any other battles during that turn, including a battle on the island or territory from which they were scrambled.

    In situations where a sea zone is served by more than one airbase, Korea and Japan into sea zone 6 for example, each of the territories (or both in this case) can scramble up to 3 fighters and/or tactical bombers. On the other hand, if Korea is specifically being attacked by an amphibious force, and there is no sea battle occurring, only the aircraft in Korea can participate in the scramble.

    To sum it up: If there is a sea battle, involving an amphibious assault or not, all neighboring aircraft that meet the scramble requirements can participate in the sea battle. If there is only an amphibious assault and there is no sea battle, only the territory be attacked from the sea can scramble up to 3 aircraft.

    All scrambled air units must return to their original island or territory from which they were scrambled. If the enemy captures those locations, the units can move one space to land in a friendly territory or on a friendly aircraft carrier. If no such landing space is available, the units are lost. Surviving scrambled air units land during that turn’s Noncombat Move phase, before the attacker makes any movements.

    5. Victory Conditions
    The game ends after one side or the other achieves its objective, listed below, and maintains it for a complete round of play. In addition, a side must control at least one of its own capitals at the end of that round in order to win
    A. Victory for the Allies if: All Axis capitals are under allied control.
    B. victory for the axis if they control 6 of the 8 victory cities on the Pacific board.
    C. victory for the axis if they control 8 of the 11 victory cities on the Europe board.

    6. IPC income from West India (2) now goes to Calcutta.

    7. IPC income from British Columbia now goes to London.
    Note: With these income changes United Kingdom Pacific now makes 17 IPCs and United Kingdom now makes 28 IPCs

    8. All 3 Minor ICs in the continental US automatically are immediately converted to Major ICs when the US is at war. They can be upgraded at any time for 20 IPCs.

    9. Strategic Bombing Raids procedure:
    • Escorts fire @1, and interceptor casualties are immediately removed.
    • Bombers fire @ 1 and interceptors fire @ 2. Remove bomber and interceptor casualties
    • Surviving bombers are assigned a target
    • The target fires its AA guns at the attacking aircraft - @1
    • Surviving bombers attack their target, looking for the highest number possible.

    Prior to the AA gun fire the surviving bombers are assigned a specific target (IC, airbase or naval base) if more than one type is in the territory.

    When bombing, each Strategical bomber rolls one die. The number rolled +1 is the total number of hits the target will receive. Gray chips are placed under the target for each hit scored.

    Tactical Bombers can also conduct bombing raids. They follow the exact procedure as presented above. Tactical Bombers are limited to attacking only naval bases and airbases, however.

    Tactical bombers also roll one die. Again that number rolled is the number of hits the target receives. Do not add 1 to the dice roll when bombing with Tactical bombers.

    Damage Repairs… the removal of damage markers, is done during the controlling player’s - Phase 1: Purchase & Repair Units.
    IT COST 2 IPCs to remove each damage marker…

    Major industrial complexes can only mobilize 10 units per turn minus the number of damage markers they have. For example a major IC with 6 damage markers can produce only 4 units. A major IC can only receive up to 15 damage markers, after that they are no longer assigned.

    Minor industrial complexes can only mobilize 3 units per turn minus the number of damage markers they have. For example a minor IC with 2 damage markers can produce only 1 unit. A minor IC can only receive up to 6 damage markers, after that they are no longer assigned damage markers.

    Naval bases provide additional range and repairs to naval units. If a naval base has 3 damage markers it can no longer provide these services. A naval base can only receive up to 6 damage markers, after that they are no longer assigned damage markers.

    Airbases provide additional range and the ability to scramble. If an airbase has 3 damage markers it can no longer provide these services. An airbase can only receive up to 6 damage markers, after that they are no longer assigned damage markers. Note: Aircraft can still land in territory whose airbase is out of service.

    10. The United States may declare war on the Axis if London and/or any territory in North America (12/5/10) is captured by an Axis power.

    11. The cost of AA guns will be adjusted down from 6 IPCs to 5 IPCs. (12/01/10)

    12. Submarines no longer fire a special “sneak attack” shot at unescorted transports. Transports are not allowed to unload land units for an amphibious assault in a sea zone containing any enemy subs unless at least one friendly warship was also present in the sea zone at the end of the Combat Move phase.

    Many thanks. He mentioned its that there is loads of spam that originate from Singapore (strange) and thus IP addresses are banned from there.

    Not very fair considering I’m painted with the wider brush, but your post is very much appreciated!


  • Odonis,

    If you get blocked IPs, try going to www.anonymouse.org.  Use that website as a proxy before going to another site.  It slows it down a bunch so it won’t work on a video site like youtube but works great on text sites like forums, etc.
