All Global Variants?

Answer is no! Just remember only the Europe rule book has the rules about straits. Only the Pacific rule book has the China and Kamikaze rules. Can’t think of any others. You would think both rule books could insert those sections into the global rules section at the end.

to Bodeacious: In strategy B the philipines will be a target in J3. Most US-Players evacuate the plane from the Phillipine Islands. to Bodeacious/Blitchga: said before: Do not leave you transport undefended at the coast of French-Indo-China! BB+CA+DD+DD+SS+SS+CV(2 Planes) is the minimum of ships you have to leave in the Sae zone to prevent an UK first strike.

If USA declares war in turn 3’s income phase, the bonus is +25. +20 is if they don’t hold the Philippines.

I played Japan last weekend. I didn’t have too hard a time, however I tend to play a very anti-US strategy. Therefore I was able to manage them as well as I had been able to in the Pacific game. I even had him spending more on the pacific side. Russia was actually what tended to throw me off because I had to constantly be prepared for a potential invasion until it was my time. Luckily I had set a trap and Russia invaded Korea, allowing me to trap him between my navy and land forces. If your looking for more specifics then let me know, otherwise that should give you a slight idea as to what to expect.

Nice, maybe i can try this HR! Thanks

@cyanight: I found you… Im SteelerLou, lol… I had made an account for a Steeler give-away sometime ago, lol.  Actually plan to use a couple of your house rules this weekend.  The NO’s, Strategic Bombing from AB, Neutral Blocs and Groupings of minor countries with majors. Awesome, I see you, and if you’re not on twitter often I can always come here and inform you of scheduled game days so you can get the in game updates. Thanks for trying my house rules, the best one of all is the Strategic Bombers needing to leave from an Air Base in order to get the +2 damage bonus… I can see a rule like that fitting in nicely with the official rules.

@AndrewAAGamer: Our gaming group has come to the conclusion that some bid is needed to balance the game for the Allies.  In reading through the posts it seems to me that the general consensus is that the Allies need a bid of about 9-12. My questions are: Is a bid of 9-12 the current and reasonable amount?  As we will not want to bid for a particular side, we will set a certain bid point for each game and then let people choose which side they want to be as some Players enjoy playing particular Powers.  So what is a fair bid? My group usually goes 10-15, some where in the ball park of 8 to 14 is what everyone does. Is this bid added as starting income to be spent on Turn 1? What Siparo said. Is this bid added as units and money such as the Revised FIDA bid? Never played revised, and what is FIDA?  Another government agency? Is this bid added as units on the board with remainders as starting money? Siparo doesn’t do it, but my group allows it. For any units placed on the board are there any restrictions?  For example:      a) Must have a unit already in the territory / sea zone?      b) May not place more than X number of units? My group has 3 rules: 1.  Must be one unit per territory/seazone. 2.  Can only be placed in a territory/seazone where you already have units occupying it. 3.  Can only be a unit that power has access to (china can be inf and art only). I would appreciate your kind thoughts and comments.  Thank you…
