Bombers transporting infantry

Hi Manstein,

Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing👍

Ok so I just had an idea about advanced infantry, so it’s probably needs some work. Anyways, one problem with the game is that soldiers from different countries are the exact same quality which is not true. British soldiers at the start of the war were elite professional soldiers compared to the Austrians that couldn’t even win a battle against a comparative weak foe in Serbia. So here’s my idea:

You have a chart that has 1-10 or 15 and each country gets ranked according to their soldier quality at the start of the war. Then whenever you’re in a battle you take that number, multiply it by two, and that many infantry attack or defend at +1. This rule would not apply to troops in Africa and the middle east (Maybe just non-ottoman troops in the middle east). You would move up on the chart when your infantry kill a certain number of units in a battle You would move down the chart when a certain number of your infantry are killed in a battle
So there you go. Sorry this is really rushed, but tell me what you think and give any suggestions.

@Cmdr:

Yea, I always wished that ABs added 2 to fighters/TBmbs and 4 to Strat Bombs…but that isn’t how it is, so my wishes be danged. lol

You can still HR that an AB on island TTy is treated like an Aircraft Carrier.
That way, StB or Fg going out only received only +1M bonus, but any Fg or TcB taking off and landing on the same AB gets a +2  bonus move.
This allows TcB and Fg to attack an island in another SZ and be able to land on the island Air Base. .

@MistaBiggs:

Not sure what u mean – please elaborate…

any terr. has a certain amount of Population loyal to the government it started the game under, and that is the limit to non-IC inf production……

1 bomber per carrier, but can’t “land” on a carrier out at sea.  It must be “loaded” from land onto the carrier in an adjacent sea zone, similar to how fighters can be immediately deployed on to a built carrier.

No problem, perhaps the thread was moved, because it was viewed more than a 100 times but not answered yet by anyone.

It was a little bit strange to me when I had a look at the original forum this morning. At first sight I thought, the thread was deleted - with no comment. Well, weird, but finally I found the post here. Thank you for your answer!

These rules are part of the Axis & Allies 1940 Global 2E, House Rules Expansion.

These elite combat units bring a new dimension to the game, especially to the fighting on The Eastern Front.

(I also have a US infantry the exact same grey color, not sure where that is from.)
