Hi, this is my first PBEM ... using RYBECK's house rules, because they seem ok ... but am very negotiable to changes / additions ...

Settings:
1. Sub doctrines off
2. Fog of War on
3. Advanced weather on
4. Allied damage control on
5. Historical 1st turn off
6. PDU on
7. Variable setup OFF
8. Dec 7 surprise on
9. Variable replacements +/- 15 days
10. Auto subs on
11. Auto facility expand off
12. Auto airgroup upgrade off
13. Accept air/ground replacements on
14. One day turns - I can usually manage one turn per day, possibly more on weekends.

House rules
1. No more than 6 ships per ASW TF.
2. No more than 6 PT boats per TF, and maximum of 2 PT TFs in a hex.
3. Invasions allowed only on base or beach/dot hexes. No troop landings/invasions by submarines.
4. Japanese Kwantung Army forces must pay PP to leave Manchuria, and Japan’s units in China must also pay PP to leave. Likewise Allied forces in China and India must also pay PP to leave their respective theaters.
5. 4E bombers must operate from airfield of at least size 4. 4E bombers may not bomb below 10000 feet.
6. B-29s must operate from a minimum size 6 airfield. B-29s may not perform naval attack missions.
7. No overstacking at air bases. Stick to a maximum 115% of (50 aircraft x airbase size) except for transiting/damaged aircraft. So a size 4 airbase can have a max of 230 planes.
8. Japan may not upgrade light/dive-bomber army air units to Sallys or Helens, only to Lilys. Allies may not upgrade 2E air units to 4E bombers.
9. No Corsairs on US carriers until 1/44.
10. No Japanese strategic bombing against targets in China. Apart from AVG and Chinese air units, no other Allied air units to operate FROM Chinese bases.
11. Only 1 port attack on turn one. Also on turn 1, I will NOT conduct any “magic teleport” attacks. Will stick to the usual targets – Malaya/Philippines and maybe north Borneo. I will also NOT target the US carriers in the Pacific.
12. On turn one, only Allied units in China and Malaya may move/redeploy.
13. On map “training” of air units is fine, but no exploiting the supply function to train bomber squadrons. Flying supplies into China (or wherever) with bombers is fine, but flying supply from San Francisco to Sacramento is not.

House rules
{snip}
9. No Corsairs on US carriers until 1/44.

Just an FYI...
You don't need this House Rule in B-Mod. The F4U-1 is available in Feb '43, but is NOT CV Capable (it's the USMC Variant). The F4U-1D arrives in Jan '44 and IS CV capable (the Navy Variant).
