@Imperious:
I fully agree with that. Under AARHE i believe some of these locations have been assigned new status as Victory cities. The other consideration obviously is economics. Secondly, as you may know the map will be redesigned to reflect new ideas. That is where your idea will come in. Please again state exactly what territories you feel need to be changed. Is your list complete? Are their other considerations?
I feel hawaii needs to have some production facilities ( limited)
Solomons
Carolines
Other island groups
Gibrater
Egypt
Persia
Japan
reduce:
mexico
brazil
I’m really mostly interested in land being worth something to take…especially in the Pacific where America should be island hopping if they want to be historically acurate.
So,
Midway - 1 IPC
Wake - 1 IPC
Carolina Islands - 1 IPC
Solomon Islands - 1 IPC
Gibraltar should also be worth something, maybe 1 IPC.
You could increase Hawaii to 2 or maybe even 3 IPCs but then Okinawa, New Guinea, Solomons, Carolinas and Wake should be worth 2 IPCs and Hawaii worth 3 and Midway worth 1.
That’s +8 IPC to Axis, +4 IPC to Allies (Gibraltar included.)
There should be no need for a bid then. And yes, that’s a complete list. If we were allowed to conquer neutrals, I’d say standard 3 IPC to declare war on them, 1 IPC for conquering them and they get 2 infantry and 1 armor for defense.
