Basically HRs are to over come bugs. Let's see. No sub invasions, no 4e naval bombing under 15k feet, asw max 6 ships, no fragment LCU encircling. Probably that is all. I prefer mnumber of a/c 50 * AF size but we can drop it for simplicity. Did I forget somthing?

Edit oh yes. LCUs going to other theaters onyl after paying PPs.

Is it OK by you?

Besides it is not my fault that the majority wants to play the allies. But I am tempted to be allied once. ;) What is dibs?

I got your email:
"I am a historical what-if freak. Basically you can find one maximum two
examples for almost EVERTHING in a war covering 1/3 of the Earth and
encompassing almost 4 yrs. That does not mean they were everyday
occurances. Yeah one MG can stop a whole infantry division. Until the first
tank shows up. E.g. based on Shattered Sword 6th daitai was flying CAP
mission from the KB at Midway. But not after. Wonder as allies you would
like to see it regularly happening, thus turnining the KB death star
into Death Star II.

No sub invasions - Personally i do not like to use this option but why
do you want to limit this? Are you afraid that i will take home IS or
SF by subs?

No but due to the not so perfect land combat sytem you can cause a hell
lot of problem (much more than in IRL) with fragments see above.

no 4e naval bombing under 15k feet - I have no problem with this but
this happened IRL many many times.

Yeah I know. But level bombing was far from effective (check B-17s
'record' at Midway agin). 2e bombers WERE succesful. But in Witp A 50+ B17
group can literally annihilate ANY invasion group.

asw max 6 ships - 1.08 patch limit up to 8 ships actively dropping DC.
Does this really matter?

Believe me it does.

no fragment LCU encircling - I never tried this and i do not think it
is worth the effort but remember one MG in certain cases can stop a
division (mountain trail for example) . I have seen it's done in real life.

see above

LCUs going to other theaters onyl after paying PPs.- This will limit
jap side. If you insist then ok.

Yep and one more thing no jap LBA conversion between DB light LB
(Lilys) and normal LBA.

I would really try the allies for a change but in a normal game."

I can agree to all your HR except this one:
"no jap LBA conversion between DB light LB
(Lilys) and normal LBA. "
I will do it so it is a show stopper for me.

My optional HR :
1. No dive-bombers can attack naval targets above 25,000 feet.
2. High-altitude kamikaze attacks cannot be higher than 25,000 feet.
3. Aden an other map edge bases iareoff-limits to invasion not because i fear it but because it can potentially crash the game- everything else can be invaded including CONUSA.
4. Only one group can do aerial mining at any given time by allies as the Japanese cannot intercept it - code bug.
5. G9Ms cannot be used for port attacks --- their torpedoes would just dive into the bottom of the harbour.
6. Me-264 Behemoths if exists CANNOT fly below 20,000 feet --- this is nothing to do with history but has to do with hit rates and game code issues.
