I know the topic is old, but I wondered how many troops a infantery unit consists of.
500.000?
250.000?

I always thought it would be just a division:
10.000-30.000
or maybe a corps?
40.000-80.000

Did the creator ever mention numbers?

I think each round is supposed to be 3 months.

That is exactly how we play it

Your welcome

@SS-GEN said in [Anniversary] Italy changes sides:

Ok. 10 icps. Wow. Won’t work in my game unless I come up with a different amount.
So July of 43 wouldn’t this rule not go in affect until like turn 3-6 based on year you start game ?

Whatever works for you is fine I just wanted to show a possibility. If you need to change it for your needs go ahead.

The moment when Italy changes sides is an interesting thing. What if Mussolini was already imprisoned in autumn 1941?
This rule in our games is applied from the very first round. But if you want to play the effect in a later time of the game then just do it. It is your decision.

@SS-GEN
10IPCs

Italy 6 IPCs
Balkans 3 IPCs
Lybia 1 IPC

@AtePineapple Right “Kill Germany first” (KGF) seems to be the the option at hand. But wouldn’t that be more realistic?

Edit: sorry help me out please - NO means what exactly?
Oh … National Objectives. Yes we do!

Strait of Turkey: actually, we play it closed, but neutral states can be attacked so …
We also have rules to put diplomatic pressure on neutral states - but that is a topic for another day

World War 2 has seen many upgrades and a rapid development in tank technology. The british Comet, the US Pershing, the german Panzer VI.

To play this we have a heavy tank technology which can be made available after autumn 1942.
Tanks attack on a 4 instead of a 3 which makes them more dangerous on the battlefield.

I hope you enjoy our house rule and a lot of fun while testing.

@Reth Trifft sich ja hervorragend But since this is an English speaking forum we will continue in English okay? (At least as good as we can) Just send me a pm and I will send you everything we have got so far. But YOU have to decide which rule you want to implement and which not. Worth trying and fun are all of them

@Reth As you might have noticed I am not a native speaker. Our rules exist only in German. The rules for Italy changing sides (Aniversary Version) we have already posted. Others will follow soon.

@Reth
First of all in “your” game you can do whatever “you” and your friends want. I don’t see there any problem. If it has to be “balanced” you either play the original rules (which should be balanced) or playtest your optional rules thoroughly.

In our gaming club we have a lot of house rules. AAA used against tanks. The development of nuclear bombs, PTboats, Tiger Tanks, Atlantic Wall, attack on neutral states and other stuff like what if Pearl Harbor never happened or Operation Barbarossa etc.
For us it works - for you it may not. Do whatever you like
