Rules and/or tactics

no fractions. make it easy.

Yes but Herr Andersson you too have been held in such high regard and sorely missed by thousands who can benefit from your wisdom. Well to get you up to speed another company is making new pieces and many of these new ideas are to form the rules for the new pieces. I am sure you have been aware of the FMG project?

If you and/or your friend are really upset about the loss of the original MB A&A tech chart, pretty sure that method and chart are still 100% compatible with the current 1942.2 game if you really wanted it (I’m not talking about game-balance, but mechanically speaking, it would still work). The old method was spend 5 IPCs per die you wanted to roll… if you spent 20 IPCs, that’s four die rolls. You’d roll the dice… each result of “6” was a breakthrough and you’d then reroll for each breakthrough and apply it to this chart: Jet Power (fighters defend at 5) Rockets (1 rocket attack on enemy industry a turn for any AAA within 3 spaces of an enemy Plant… 1D6 IPC loss to enemy) Super Subs (subs attack at 3) Long Range aircraft (all aircraft have 2 more range) Industrial Technology (all units are 1 IPC less) Heavy Bombers (all bombers roll 3 dice instead of 1… note this essentially ended the game… lol). If it’s really a big deal to you guys, all the above rules would work mechanically with A&A 1942.2… however, not all are balanced, especially Heavy Bombers, but that could be changed (maybe roll 3 dice and choose your favorite of the three). There’s lots of custom rules for tech research… its not hard to either add the original rules, use someone elses posted on the forum, or just make up your own house rules. In any case, this is one of the easiest rules to add back into the game if you really miss it.

This concept will work especially well with HBG’s new infrastructure pieces.

@Gargantua: Aye BUT a battle in a seazone around England, IS a battle over England according to the rules! I like the concept Jen, I’m just giving you a hard time. Yes I see that.  I specifically excluded it from the rules - and yer the reason I burned one of my manuals to dust!

I agree this should be addressed. On the custom map we use all islands are worth at least 1 IPC, which helps somewhat, but like you said, it’s only financial. I like the supply concept you have. Instead of tampering with all the unit stats, perhaps you could say that no surface attacks can be launched unless a friendly land zone is located in an adjacent sea zone. (double that distance with a naval base)

aircraft carriers did have alot of ack they had “light michineguns” “heavy michineguns” and flak artillery

I was also thinking maybe transports could carrymoney to other nations.
