My self-imposed rule against the AI:
Da Big Babes C scen 28 vs AI difficulty is set to HARD
LOGISTICS
Allied combat units (those with Assault Value) can only use supplies from their respective nations.
Nations are divided as follows:
Commonwealth (British, India, Burma, Malaya, Australia, New Zealand)
Dutch
USA
Soviet
China (China may use US supply, provided the US supply is moved from USA to India first, or later
directly to China)
Combat units include: infantry, tanks, AA, artillery, CD, paratroopers, combat engineers, air units (except recon)
Thus, a US infantry unit on Java must use US supply brought by ships from Continental US.
Non-AV units (Base forces, construction regiments, air and land HQs) can use any supply.
This means 47th Construction Regt can sail to India and use Indian supplies (which represent food/construction materials)
SHIPS
- ships can reload weapons only in their nations’ bases using nations supply i.e
CA Houston cannot replenish ammo in Sorebeja, Dutch subs cannot replenish torps in Singapore. Either an AKE needs to be brought or an xAK needs to bring resupply for AKE
- no change of Allied Submarine captains on Dec 7---change takes place only after the first patrol is completed
- ships using off-map movement can only use Cruise speed – slower tempo of operations
-fuel can only be moved by TK/AO/YO ships --- slower pace of operations, more escort assets tied to TK/YO/AOs, slower gamep0lay
- amphibious invasions only with AP/AK/APA ships (as per Symon’s suggestion)
- LST ships cannot travel on their own (as per Symon’s suggestion) – proper convoy needed to cross from USA to Pacific islands
- TF in port are disbanded when they reach10/10 or 9/9 detection. This is to avoid Nell and Betty airstrikes into CAP --- Japs have good pilots in the beginning, it is worth to keep them longer in play
AIR
- ground bombing needs to use minimum safe bombing altitudes for GP bombs ( the corresponding altitude table can be found on the Internet). Level bombing of ships doesn’t need such rule.
- single engine aircraft need to be transported by xAK/AKV/CV over big bodies of water
- all ground-port-air-city B-17/Liberator/B-29 bombing mission have to be preceded by photographic recon. Naval search-attack doesn’t need prior recon.
CHINA
- only air units will go to China ---no LCU, AA, tank reinforcement
- Chinese air unit can only fly to India via Kunming/Myitkina --- no jump over Himalayas ---
aircraft don’t have pressurized cockpits
HQ
- no HQ breakup for their support/naval support squads distribution to several bases
