Empires in Flames (4-player game)

Post by Orm »

We begin a second new 4-player game, with the following options and house rules.

+ Only strategic bombing missions are allowed at night.
+ No CAP allowed.
+ SUBs always excluded in port strikes versus major ports.
+ Partisans must be placed actively, if possible, and then used actively. No 'hiding' partisans in remote areas just to increase partisan value.
+ No air reaction for naval searches from the mainland to the North Atlantic. Reacting from the Azores is ok. And flying actively during own impulse is also ok.
+ Chinese aircraft may not react to any sea area. They may actively fly to the sea area.
+ One VP lost for CW if there is any controlled country by Italy in Sub-Saharan Africa at the beginning of 1942. One more lost at he beginning of 1944, And one more at the end of the game. Up to a total of 3 VPs may be lost for CW that way.
+ France lose one VP if Madagascar is Axis controlled at the end of the game.
+ You can’t move naval units between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea (not even via Fredrikshavn or Kristiansand) if major powers you are at war with control at least 2 of Oslo, Copenhagen and Kiel. If you do not have access to passage, then ships in port must return to the sea zone that they entered from. (The exact wording of this house rule might change)
+ The above rule also applies to Brest and the North Sea unless the power that controls Brest also controls London.
+ If the Axis establishes a Vichy Government, the Commonwealth forces may not establish new land units West of the Garonne river except through an invasion one year after the establishment of the Vichy government. If they already have forces there, they must remove them by the end of the turn following the establishment of a Vichy government, or they are eliminated. CW can invade that area a year after Vichy creation.

Over to Axis for Italy setup.

In regards to the AAR's unless you have a specific audience I won't need detailed details on every land or naval move if you want to save some time. Anything out of the ordinary that might be missed like an isolated unit moving or a TF sent somewhere obscure is all I really need to know and what also I will post.

As far as I know I have no audience at all. :)

There is indeed no need to post about every move. In fact, when making many moves it become unhelpful to do so. What you propose is good enough for me. Although, it helps when having lots of units and just moving one or two of them if one is directed in the general area of movement (if not obvious).
