House Rules
As faithful readers already know, we’ve had huge discussions of House Rules. Most of your comments have not affected these house rules, as we made them before last AAR came into the HR-discussion-phase. House Rules and Modding is an ongoing work and we are now initiated work, led by Maxyboy, to Modd more and House Rule less. Several of your comments have fed into that work. It will hopefully be in place to next AAR. Until then, we have no modds but a lot more House Rules than before. Feel free to comment.
• Axis players can play all Axis countries. Allied/Commie players can play all Allied/Commie countries and Nat China. Allied/Commie players are allowed to play CAN even if it’s not allied. Allied/Commie players are allowed to play USA in 1941.
• Game starts Sept -38 on speed 3 until 1939. Then on speed 2 until “Danzig or war” when we go to speed 1. Alternatively, GER player can lower to speed 1 after May 1st, 1939. No pausing is allowed except for technical or rl-problems.
• Players must declare wars themselves. “Call to arms” only to AI.
• Poland must oppose “Danzig or War”.
• No unholy alliance
• Mol-Rib pact is voluntary
• USSR has special trade rules until 1941 (or war with any other major). They must accept all Axis deals if the deal doesn’t put USSR on a negative balance for that commodity. Axis-nations are bound by honor to not suggest deals that are “impossible or unlikely” to be accepted.
• Japan and Italy can only declare limited war on USSR. GER must declare war by themselves but may declare a “full” war.
• USSR must go “Bitter Peace” if Stalingrad, Leningrad, Moscow and Vladivostok falls.
• If USSR has the highest threat towards US, they are not allowed to DOW neutrals. This restriction is cancelled after Barbarossa or 1 July 1941.
• Axis have fleet restrictions until US joins. Japan and GER/ITA can only rebase to each other’s spheres of interest if they can reach it with a “transport” order.
• GER may lend ITA 2 divisions. Player countries cannot lend each other troops in any other way.
• USA may not move troops, navy or planes in the pacific until they join Allies. This does not include their mainland west coast.
• USA may not place troops in Allied provinces before they become Allies. They may not in any way lend or give troops to the Allies before they enter the war.
• Allies may not “allow dept” to other human played Allies – but to AI run minors is ok. USA may always “allow dept” to whom ever. Axis may “allow dept” to whom ever.
• The players are “bound by honor” to never stall a war (in order to stay on war economy etc.)
• Nations can build 4 para-brigades per 100 base ICs
• Players are only allowed to build +5 of any fort in any province
• Minors are allowed to “license build”. Majors can only have 12 IC of “license build” active at any time. They are however, always entitled 1 unit being lb at any time, regardless of the cost (meaning that it’s ok to build 1 bomber even if it costs more than 12 IC. 1 brigade, however, is considered 1 unit).
• Players are not allowed to build units as reserves.
• Convoys must be on for periods of time as the game allows a newly opened convoy to immediately retrieve everything that’s been piling up (Bug!). Players are “bound by honor” to not blip them on and off. A newly started resource convoy must be on for at least 3 weeks before it can be turned off (but if all convoys are sunk before that they don’t need to add extra’s of course
• The game ends in the end of 1945. Victory points dictates winner.
…………………………………………………………..
I will play Germany and will experiment with an opening which is rather superior in single player. It will be a lot tougher in multiplayer though, and I am curious about how it will work out. It will be a rather wild gamble as there are many variables affecting the outcome.
