I would add the following:
 
1. limit ASW TF to 8 ships or less
2. No City bombing of Chinese Cities until after the US first city bombs Japan from the mainland.

1. Isn't this settled with the 1.801 patch. I don't have the proper experiance with it but it weems ASW no longer needs house rules
2. What is the purpose of that rule? Japs did bomb Chinese cities from '37 onwards I think.
