1 bombing attack per turn max.

Since we are talking about house rules. Isn't the above house rule totally ahistorical and implausible? Wouldn't it make more sense to at least limit air attacks to ONE ATTACK PER FRONT?

Problem is bombing spam is even more ahistorical and can be used to game the system in far too many ways. I used to limit myself to a maximum of 3 bombing attacks and even that may be too much. Let's be perfectly frank here: the air system has problems. On demand air missions are a recipe for infinite mischief. Limitations on bombing are a rough and ready way to address that, however inadequately.

Now one attack per front is too restrictive imo. (Also, too Soviet specific, since the Axis doesn't have fronts.)

I think Pelton meant to say per hex here, btw.

Not disagreeing if the conditions is vet vs newbie, but I still think in vet vs vet, the GHC gains from random.
I'm not a vet, but I tend not to agree with that statement. In the long run the weather evens out in my opinion, provided both sides get out of 1941 and the winter even. It can severely hurt the Soviets, but also mess up when the German side for example severely needs mud after a Soviet breakthrough.
Well, I agree that the rolls for weather evens out, but what is left is the GHC's foreknowledge of what the weather will be during the opponents next turn, which with random weather, the SHC does not know. That's why random favours the player moving 1st in the turn.

If he's gotten that rule from mine and loki's game (like the paratrooper or amphibious one), then a clarification:

It is meant for a limit of one attack on an airfield per turn, after the initial day bombings.#

I don't see this as drastical from 1943 on when the Soviets have the initiative. Then the German side can't really exploit that advantage.

That makes more sense. Limiting the entire air-force to one attack per turn would be rather silly.

See my edited post, am pretty sure he intended that to read as one attack per hex per turn. As written, the rule hurts the Luftwaffe at least as badly as the Red Air Force.

Random weather only effects are

1.industry evac Vs poor to average SHC players, because good SHC they are going to get it out anyways.

2. AGN north between turns 2-5 turns.

No real effect in center or south because your going to get to Don no matter who you play - MT and Flaviusx being best SHC and its a little more work, but you get to the same finish line vs them as a newbie. Supply chain being limiting factor.

Its against my better judgement, but ok.

I am currently doing 3 games so this one will take a back seat until one of the other 2 I am winning handly ends.

Sorry per hex or unit.

2 HQ's in a hex then 2 attacks 1 unit one attack

One last thing you can do the AAR, I might do a 42-45.

I don't do AARs. Never been a big fan. However, a 42/45 AAR would be awesome because it would mean that I survived 41 which is very doubtful. [:D]

My Christmas break starts on the 20th. Would be great if we could start the game then.

I will get it going before then and hopefully by then one of the 2 guys who lost Moscow in 1941 will resign.

I can do one then, probably start turn 5 or when mud hits so I can whine and cry like a 2 yr old [:@]

send me the PW and I will get T1 done asap.

Pelton's conditions, HR and game (SD 41-45) are exactly the same as what I will be going with from now on. Pretty standard I think, and fair. Any experienced Soviet should be more than happy to play under them, I would.

One of the German Hell Marchs has some racist words form Hitler ( in German I speak English), not unlike the racist Russian Hell Marchs.

Only racist left in USA are the liberal haters, those people are simply miserable 24/7.

Also polling supports that.

They are only happy when they steal from the poor and give it to themselves or are telling people how to live and doing the opposite themselves.

Kinda like the darling progressives of the 20's and 30's Hitler ( first country with national health care), Stalin and Mussolini.

Hitler was a good socialist.

Amazing how history repeats itself.

The original socialist in Germany was Otto von Bismarck, actually.

Germany bought into social insurance policies of various flavors long ago, Pelton. This isn't even part of their national political discourse anymore. Everybody from the left to right simply accepts these things as the way it ought to be.
