This thread is for G40 Fortunes of War of the A&A 1940 Global house rule set called Delta. Each part can easily be played separately, however, all 3 parts were created to work together.

Fortunes of War
Fortunes of War is a collection of additional rules to represent historic circumstances, or practical game play mechanics that I have always wanted to be in A&A in some form or another.
Base Support
Strategic Bombers conducting SBRs only receive a +2 damage bonus if they have departed from an airbase.
Russian Winter
During their purchase new units phase of each turn, Russia may choose to roll an attempt @6 on 1 die in order to trigger a severe Russian winter. They may decide to make an attempt during a turn, or pass and save it for a later round. If / when successful, Russia will make a second roll, and Germany must remove from the board that many infantry units (their choice) currently on original Russian territories, and immediately when the winter is triggered. Also, add 1 for every 10 German infantry units on original Russian territories (rounded like so… 24 infantry units =+2 / 25 infantry units =+2 / 26 infantry units =+3 etc…). There may only be 1 Russian winter triggered per game.
Atlantic Wall
The defense value of all German infantry, and AA artillery units on Normandy, Holland/Belgium, and/or Denmark has increased by 1 during enemy amphibious assaults from an adjacent sea zone.
Around the Clock Bombing
At the beginning of any game round (before Germany’s turn), the United Kingdom may announce once per game, an “around the clock bombing campaign” which will last for one complete round. This means that any American strategic bombers (including the “Boeing Fortresses” SA), and British strategic bombers stationed on London upon the announcement, may conduct a SBR on the turn of their respective ally, as well as on their own turn.
The Manhattan Project
The Research:
During their purchase new units phase of each turn, America may make a progress roll using 1 die, and then adding that amount to all previous progress rolls in order to reach a total of 30.
The Mission:
Once research is complete, America may use 1 strategic bomber (including a Boeing Fortress) to drop an atomic bomb on 1 enemy territory within range of the chosen air unit. Any American strategic bomber can be used during the SBR step of the combat movement phase of any turn. However, the air unit must pass all air defenses using regular SBR rules, and if shot down… America may choose a different bomber, and attempt a new mission during a future turn. There may be only 1 successful drop per game.
The Damage:
If an American strategic bomber successfully delivers its payload, all facilities on the targeted enemy territory immediately sustain maximum damage, and the IPC value of the territory has now been reduced to zero.
The Aftermath:
Original facilities on the destroyed territory may be repaired and used immediately upon becoming operational, and the territory will recover 1 IPC each round after being destroyed, up to its original value.
Fifth Column
During their purchase new units phase of each turn, Germany may roll an attempt @6 on 1 die in order to influence a Strict Neutral territory of their choice into joining the Nazi cause. They may decide to make an attempt during a turn, or pass and save it for a later round. If / when successful, Germany will immediately take control of the standing army on the chosen strict neutral territory without the need of occupying it first, and without provoking the remaining strict neutral territories into joining the allies. There may only be one successful propaganda attempt per game (this rule is void if all strict neutrals turn pro-axis).
Kamikaze Honor
Japan may now use their available kamikaze tokens in designated kamikaze sea zones during any combat situation (not just defense).
French Resistance
France may immediately place 3 free infantry units on Paris every time it is liberated.
Political Sovereignty
A change in the neutrality status of Strict Neutral territories in South America has no influence over Strict Neutral territories anywhere else, and vise versa.
Brothers in Arms
In the event of a 6 player group game, the United Kingdom will play France, the United States will play ANZAC, and the Soviet Union will play China.
