Okay so how do we play if there are 5 players:

Allies - Russia and USA?
Axis - Germany, Italy and Japan

There must be some house rules otherwise the UK will get trounced before either the russians or the americans can get involved.

My suggestions are:
1) No attacks on mainland UK.
2) Italy cant attack India untill USA is at war
3) Japan can only join axis/attack UK after the USA enters war.
4) Limit tech sharing with axis minors - i.e no doctrines as these could be passed to other axis members
5) No nukes
6) No unhistorical attacks by axis nor allies (i.e no attack on South america)
7) No war prior to 1938

Start in 1936 - or maybe 39? anything else?

I'm not sure there should be 3 Axis members.

1) why not? what's the point of such a rule? 2) and 3) is more than enough.
2) Italy cannot operate outside the Med/Africa until USA joins
3) seems ok
4) dunno, depends on the mod we play
5) OK
6) Ok
7) OK

Well if we play 3 allies versus 2 axis I think the allies will win too easily..?

The suggestion was:

Germany - Darth
Italy - Orthank
Japan - Blum
USA - me
USSR - Boromir

Ok, that won't be too bad, but can we win without a human UK player? Mithel released a new starfire mod with new air units etc, looks interesting.

thats why I was thinking of no attacks on mainland uk.. maybe until the russians are in the war..? Otherwise they will annex the uk before either of us are at war... I can play Mithels mod no problem.

I think Blum will be able to make it. I talked to him yesterday. Abnout Mithels I just saw the same "bug" is still there - Improved tanks require Armour spearhead doctrine. I dont want the same thing to happen - ie that the germans will have advanced whislt the russians still will be with basic 70s...

Dunno, are they no longer there?

sorry they are there - he moved them to the end of the nuclear tree...

EDIT I talked to Blum and he said he can play Saturday 16:00 with Mithels mod. He is in Russia right now but should have a chance to give the mod a go..

hi guys, I'll join you on Saturday. What the heck is this preaching about no non-historical attacks!? What about who wins then? The same approach? What's wrong with Japan slaughtering allies in Asia, damned? I know the answer: Too much IC for Axis, but whichever bloody side I play (I played only one) it's always too much. I don't like that. Explain. ;)

we try to play the game as historical as possible up to mid 1938. After that you an pretty much do anything u want (well maybe ;) ). I think all of us prefer to play such games.

Blum ;) ?

Si, Amigo. OK, I am a minority as usual, I'll do whatever you will tell me to, up to mid 1938. But then...

heh as Japan you will rule the waves... that is untill I come sailing in your waters :rofl: then its back home you go :D

F

EDIT - just to clear it up: you/japan can start a war with China and such prior to 38 of course.

Sorry who is omar? Does he know that we play LAN in WARSAW? If he does that fine i'll gladly see a new player in our company. By the way we have some estate problems, actually Wielicka is already rented:(, so any ideas where we can play?
Most likely vanillia HoI! Please. I don't want to stuck in Ethiopia till mid 40s :).

Omar is Blum.. ;)

As to the place hmm well it will have to be our house I guess...too bad.

Vanilla / Starfire - I dont really care as long as we play although I prefer starfire as its more realistic IMHO.

I would prefer not to play starfire, first of all i don't know conpletely nothing about the changes Michel has made, i won't have even a time to check it till weekend, but it will be too late i sopose.
Second. Japan should be free of all moves, we don't know when the election time will be so there is stiil a chance (big) that till 1940 Japan will be just an ordinary Democracy instead of Autocraty:D. So it's kind of gamble here, as well as with German Annexation of Austria or Sudetenland. The only restriction that i might sugest is forbid Axis to attack European England, or to allowed USA giving England techs from begining of the game.
