I would like people to list their favorite house rules for
"historical-style" play.

1. In China, that a unit can only attack a base after it has over 50 PP for that base accumulated. Keeps both sides from rushing about like lemmings over there and the resultant intel gives the Chinese some clue where the attacks are coming in at.

2. Keep your A/c within 10% of the max limit of an airbase: 55 at level one, 440 at level 8; etc. Additionally, if over 250 A/c, have the addtional support that they would need. Or at least 360 instead of the 250 (360 being an AV regiment and it's companion BF from the Allied point of view).

3. No 20+ ship pure ASW forces; keep it reasonable.

4. Have an Air HQ in range before doing multiple group strikes by either side.

[Gen.Hoepner]

I'd also add: if you play the yanks, keep the ASW groups under 5 ships...it's reasonable and also gives Japan some more chances of conducing a decent sub warfare

Must have rules to make the game a bit less mass murder and super blitz.....

What IS the allied equivalent to an NLF?

[Feinder]

US equivilant to an NLF?

Something about Btn strength (about 30 AV). Which isn't much.

The USMC Def Btns.
The three Aussie "bird" Btns at game start.
Raider Btns.

Most Allied units aren't at Btn strengtht tho.

Iwo is an atoll, isn't it? I would hate to try to take on Kobayashi with only 1 Division and a Regiment, if it is.

Iwo is not an atoll, or at least it should not be.
