Faber is dating himself again. [;)]

First. i'd like to say i am deeply honored that you named this thread for me... [:D] [:'(]

Second, being the contrarian that i am, i will vote NO on the sub commando rule. If it was good enough for the Marauders, it's good enough for me. Also, it keeps folks honest: in truth, IRL bases and places you want to hold should be manned, and if they are not, then someone just might land a sub party and seize it.

OK - how about the rules i proposed earlier:

1. PT rule (no more than 12)

An alternate rule would be that Allied PTs have to spawned in Pearl, West Coast, Panama or Aden and sail to wherever you want - that way you can have as many as you want - if you can get them there...

2. Night bombing rule - this was a request from my IJN foe - i am happy to forgo it. [:'(]

3. Bombardment rule - only in support of troops or for upcoming landings. Note: it would NOT prevent bombardments like those at Guadalcanal (since there were IJA/IJN troops there - and spotting for the ships.)

Agree...............

Ooops...I'm still awake........

A good house rule...I think....asked for by Onime in my game with him....was the troops only move in APs....rule......exceptions being Arty/Tank units....and after mid '44 when the japs may only have a couple of garbage scows left.........It did slow down my advance.....and had a whiff of history about it......but we only played 5 months.....so I don't know it's long term effect....also...not sure about how it would work in CHS............

Well, there are also LSTs, LSMs, and other invasion type craft that should be allowed to move troops... also, this might depend on the outcome of the sub rule (i still have my fingers crossed...) - but otherwise this is OK with me.

Rather than reposting each vote, i will just modify the original "vote" post, adding or subtracting items and votes.

OOOooops sorry...yes.....all troop carriers designed to be such count as APs....as do subs.........

I'm stealing Bob's post [:'(][;)] and numbering them for reference

1. Sub Commando Raids Allowed?

2. PT Rule (no more than 12/hex)

My votes are (at my level of understanding of CHS)
1. No 3. Yes (though I don't really understand this) 4. No
2. I find 12 PT boats TFs a bit unrealistic and I prefer 6 boats TFs, but could allow 2 per hex. THat is what I propose, but would vote yes on 2 versus no rule at all.

OK - i've added the proposed HQ restriction rule. i've put down votes as i remember or grasped them - let me know if i am incorrect. There were a couple of rules proposed that i don't recall at the moment.

I'll restate Faber's AP/AK rule as AKs not allowed to carry troops except as last gasp...
