How to get people to use your house rules…

its another house rule that I had dug up in another forum that allows artillery to “shell” or bombard an adjacent territory for 1 ipc per shot

It should read: 4)  When a battleship has a damage marker its firepower is reduced by one i.e. a)  A battleship with one damage marker, hits on a roll of 3 b)  A battleship with two damage markers, sinks c)  An Aircraft carrier with a damage marker sinks d)  A cruiser with one damage marker sinks all ships thats take one hit sink is the rule the BB can take 2 hits before it sinks. If you want to make all the units take 2-3 hits, that will be a big change

i highly recomend it i’ll never forget my friends faces when i landed in there capitols

@Dashofpepper: Hey guys - I see this has been moved into house rules…and that a moderator tagged this as Global 1941.   This is for Global 1940 - I’ve never played Global 1941, so I don’t know if there are differences or if the advice would be the same for Global 1940. Typo corrected, thanks.

So these house rules are geared for A&A 1914?

@Der: Planes WERE historically superior to ships as far as bang for the buck - that’s why carriers replaced battleships. That is correct, but the 1940 fighters did not got the range to sink the Royal Navy in the real war. Taking off from Normandy they barely crossed the English Channel and got 10 minutes of operational time before they run out of gas. In this A&A game a Fighter unit can easily cross the Atlantic and sink everything afloat. And that is not historical correct, and I doubt it make the game better

@Young: But you can use them in any battle you choose, so you can have 2 Admirals, or 2 Generals… why can’t we rewrite history like the game proposes? Admirals and Generals are collectively known as Flag Officers, at least in some nations, so you could use that single term for both categories.
