Russian Lean-lease
The “Western Worker’s military aid” started to come to USSR, the first moment the Soviet Union is at war. To symbolize that, during URSS place new units phase roll a die for eligible lean-lease areas. (1) = 2 I. P. C., (2) = Artillery, (3) = Mechanized Infantry, (4) = Tank, (5) = Anti-Aircraft Artillery, (6) = Fighter.
Aid from USA requires: Eastern USA, Alaska, sea zones 2, 3 and soviet far east, not in axis control. Units spawn in Soviet Far East.
Aid from UKE requires: Great Britain, sea zones 126, 127 free of enemy units and Archangel not in axis control. Units spawn in Archangel.
Aid from UKP requires: India, all Persian territories and Caucasus in allied control. Units spawn in Caucasus.
NOTE: If Moscow is in axis hands the objective is still in play

France Strikes Back
During ww2 some French forces continue the fight against the axis. There is no Vichy vs Free France dynamic. France is a single entity, and it maintains the mechanics of the game simple, and without requiring the purchase or painting of new pieces.
1- Once Paris is taken by the axis, the treasure of France passes to the enemy, as in OOB rules.
2- Automatically, the de facto capital of France is London, France will be able to add new IPC at the end of its turn, as any nation does.
3- France can buy and place, a maximum of 3, new infantry in any original territory on the map.
4- France can buy equipment in London, and place it right there, land, sea, air; but, cannot place new infantry in London. France can buy technology dice, ports and airports, for its original territories
5-France cannot produce units in industrial complexes that captures from the enemy, in this case the complexes will take full damage. France cannot buy industrial complexes.
Note: in the territory of France, the same applies, unless France or the allies take Paris.
6- If Paris is free, it merges into the capital of France again, France will return to the rules of OOB.
7- If Paris is retaken, a second time, the money passes to the conqueror (subsequent quests will have the same dynamics). And the capital of France will pass London again, unless it is taken by the enemy.
8-If London is taken by the enemy, and is the de facto capital of France, the IPCs of the two are delivered to the conqueror.
- Italy Lean-lease
During WW2, Germany sold or licensed equipment to its allies, especially Italy.
1- During its non-combat face, Germany can send to the north of Italy any air unit or ground machines (except infantry) for sale. A maximum of 2 per round.
2- Italy in its face of purchases can buy at half price, the German units on loan. The money is delivered to Germany.
Units are immediately replaced by Italian equivalents for immediate use.
3- Restrictions: Infantry and ships cannot be sold. Berlin must be in the hands of the axis, northern Italy must be in control of Italy.
Note: If Rome falls, this rule still works, if Italy had war bonus tec. In this case, dice need to by the number to pay.
- Fighter Escorts and Interceptors (modified)
Fighters can participate in strategic bombing raids. Attacking fighters may escort and protect the bombers, and they can originate from any territory, range permitting. Any or all defending fighters based in a territory that is strategically bombed can participate in the defense of the industrial complex. The number of fighters that will defend is decided after the attacker’s Combat Movement phase is completed and before the Combat phase begins.
After antiaircraft fire is resolved against the attacking air units, if there are any defending fighters an air battle occurs between the attacking and defending air units. This combat is resolved in the same way as a normal combat, with a few exceptions. The escort fighters have an attack value of 1 (2 if the attacker has the Jet Power research breakthrough), the bombers have attack value of 1, and the interceptors have a defense value of 2, the combat lasts for only one round. After the battle, any surviving bombers proceed to carry out the raid as normal.
Fighters participating as either an escort or a defender cannot participate in other battles during that turn. Defending interceptors must land in their original territory. If that territory is captured, the fighters may move one space to land in a friendly territory or on a friendly aircraft carrier. This movement occurs after all of the attacker’s combats have been resolved and before the attacker’s Noncombat Move phase begins. If no such landing space is available, the fighters are lost.
- Unit stats, new stats, special abilities and restrictions. (Without technology research)
Note: Surprise attack refers to the strike during the initiation of bombing rounds, or sub combat, when a hit, on and enemy unit, eliminate the unit immediately, negating the enemy’s unit attack/defense roll.

- Research:
WE ADOPT the Anniversary MECHANICS, we change the place of the technologies so they are more realistic to the dates. During the purchase stage, the research counter (scientific equipment) is purchased with a value of 5 I. P. C, however, it can only be roll BEFORE the purchase-repair stage of the game.
A counter = a die.
A roll of 5 or less is equal to failure: the counters can be preserved.
A roll of 6 is equal to success. The list of technology is chosen, a die is rolled again. All counters are lost and must be bought again.
Chart 1940 (Rounds 1 to 6)
T1 Improved Shipyards
Battleship 16, Carrier 12, Cruiser 8, Destroyer 7, Transport 6, Submarine 5.
T2 Radar
Your antiaircraft defense fire, from antiaircraft artillery units, units with only anti-aircraft defense values, and facilities, now hits on 2 or less, for all dice
T3 Paratroopers
T4 Increased Factory Production
T5 War Bounds,
T6 Improved Mechanized Infantry.
Each of your mechanized infantry units that is paired up with a tank now has an attack value of 3. Also, your mechanized infantry may now blitz without being paired with a tank.
