Any possibility to include these house rules, fully or more likely partially, as cards or events? Could be achieved by limiting production of para units for example? Less units produced = Less opportunities to para drop per unit of time.... etc.

I don't see why not though you'd have to ask tweber

This game i plan to invade france before april just to keep him off guard.

It's still winter 1940 and i've attacked france to buy valuable time in which i can launch my operation sealion.

I used my small german navy to look at london for future plans. I found a beautiful unguarded cargo warehouse! Though the next turn my german fleet was sunk i am happy about this.

Feb 1940 i am already 2 hexes into france pushing faster and faster. Next turn will be a major breakout since it took me 1 turn of heavy fighting to break through that first fort hex.

March 1940 i've broken through next turn paris will be enveloped and fall.

Paris is surrounded and will fall next turn. THen we well set our sites for britian. When you don't use blitz card you still get low countries on the fall of france. But you don't get norway and denmark.

HE is keeping his battle fleet blocking the channel to london. So we are being sneaky and going to send the invasion fleet around to the NW coast of england instead. Once he pulls his fleet out to react to that we're going to land a 2nd wave right onto london. Since he is spending his time building heavy bombers and bombing the unholy hell out of my cities. Amsterdam and paris are taking a beating.

I did the turns from work so i dont have any screens but we landed 2 major forces around london to encricle them. His fleet is now pounding me and i forgot to change the HQ's of the units so they are out of supply yikes!! NExt time i should reHQ before departing and set a reserve right? That way when it touches down i'll be ready to roll?

Doesn't sound too good for you on this one....you might get repulsed.

Yeah forgetting to change HQ is a mistake. If you do it beforehand the units need time to regain readiness though. You can manually supply them "if" you have air transport. You can also manually supply them with cargo ships.... not sure if they need to be in a coastal hex or in a port. [:(]

Yea the invasion was repulsed. I lost 75% of my army. But I learned a few things. Build the invasion HQ before and switch HQ's on the invading units a few turns before. Also land with at least 50 engineers so i can build the bridge by london quickly.

Is there a way to force the HQ to be presupplied? Reserve never really seems to work the way i want it to. I want to give this HQ priority on supplies so i do 5000 and it never seems to get the supplies unless there are extra. So i have to go to all the other Hq's and set them to 50% or something?

We put a ding in the british navy!

Here is my ill fated landing. Without an HQ or engineers. The british blow that bridge and i eventually lost a ton of stuff. 75% of my tank army.
