Anyone else got some silly ideas for new rules?

The weather here at the moment reminds me of one of the favourite sayings in the British Army: 'if it ain't raining, it ain't training'
I therefore propose that UK units (?excluding the FFR xxx) get a combat +1 in rain turns, and the units of Mediterranean countries get a -1 because they probably never/hardly ever train in the rain.

Can USSR get combat +1 in snow turns?

Soviet mountain troops get Winterization for free...
Same with Finnish if not most of their units.
Both sides should start with one unit.

French Armor should be division sized.
Remove one French large corps replace with cavalry.

Excessive heat should have some effect...in Africa and USSR...
Perhaps -1 to all attacks on those turns and +2 movement in all hexes.

Okay but does it help with combat? I don't remember.

Hmmmm

These suggestions seem to be a little too sensible for the intention of this thread [:D]

I agree with this one. The 1st corps of cavalry of General Prioux was engaged in Belgium in 1940.
It would be a nice touch to see it on the battlefield.

Not so silly but... there could be a penalty to the USSR if they don't maintain a certain amount of strength within 2 hexes of the german border in the 1939/40 scenario. As it is now the entire soviet airforce and army can setup safely out of reach without fear.

So you want silly ideas...

Russians get +1 movement in the winter because they have sleds.
Fins get +2 movement in the winter because they use reindeer.

Allow subs to prioritize target: merchants or escorts.

For WP2? Also, have a clear distinction of merchants transporting oil.
