Matrix Games Forums

I can play either side. I have played 4 or 5 PBEM games until early 1942. I like somewhat historical games so the following house rules I find are acceptable:


1 day turns
historical first turn off
allied damage control on
advanced weather effects on
reinforcements variable +-15days
PDU on
sub doctrine off for both sides
sub auto ops off
only one port attack on turn one, no overabuse of the turn one movement bonus (means no landings on turn 7 in Australia or something like that)
4Es on nav attack min alt 10.000 ft
ASW TF max 6 ships
PT boats max 6 at a base (1x6 PT TF or 2x3 PT TF. Not 6 TFs with single PTs!)
no sub invasions
no mini para drops. As many para drops allowed as wished but they should involve at least 500-1000 men at min.
cutting off units only with "real" combat units, not some 10 assault point base forces
no use of dozens of small barge, MSW, ... TFs to guard ports
30 days notice of attack on Russia

Please feel free to suggest additional rules.

30 day notice of an attack on Russia?  You mean like the notice against the US before PH?  Why?

Check you PM box.

30 day notice of japan attack on Russia. I have never had to deal with the situation but from what I have read it is needed to give the ARussians a chance to change thier dispositions.

Can't argue with that, especially as the Allied player.  An attack on Russia offers little in return for what will need to be a very large effort by the Japanese.

Got a game.

Thanks for quick replies.
