This is a list of Aussie Rules we have used from past games.
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=243233
Rules will be as follows with changes if everyone agrees.
No major war till danzig event.
Axis allies (eg spain/italy) remain outside of the axis until Paris falls.
Both Axis and allies must wait till war to bring in non-historical allies. Germany is permitted to have Romania/Hungary/Bulgaria but cannot control them till war. This prevents the allies bringing lots of allies which gives germany a high billgerance when danzig fires and will trigger US gearing, this is an exploit. This also prevents Germany getting Turkey/Persia/Brazil and so on. Keeps both sides balanced until war.
UK cannot militarily control the CW except france and poland until war is decleared with germany.
Candian forces can be controlled and moved once danzig happens. South African/Austrailan and New Zealand and so on remain in there homelands until Paris falls. Once paris falls all restrictions are lifted on CW forces.
No CW forces are permited to enter the med until Paris falls. This includes candian which can only be in Europe, eg France or UK. The Med includes Gibralter/Malta/North Afirca/Egypt/Middle East. The UK must defend with UK forces or other allied forces already in the region.
Axis cannot militarily control there minors until war.
No attacking through nuetruals.
If you give units away to human players they cannot be returned they remain the buyers forever. You may only give units to human players if your are at war with the same enemy. Eg USA can only give units to UK if they are both at war with Germany, same as USSR, US may only give units to the USSR if both are at war with germany.
You cannot attempt to assinate leaders until at war.
The US cannot build land/sea forts in the pacfic until war. It is pretty unrealistic for the US to build up lvl 10 forts all over the pacific and runins the game in the pacific. However if China is puppeted/annexed the US can start to build forts land & sea 1 year after this happens.
If China is annexed or puppeted the US will be permitted 1 gearing event. Japan cannot be puppeted until the US gets 1 gearing event then it may puppet/annex. This is to offset the stronger role china will play.
No supply exploits, all forces must remain in homeland until 3 months befor war. You may keep forces that start in puppets or that region in your puppets or allies. The exception is Japan, they will need alot of there army in puppets so from 1937 onwards Japan may have unlimited number of forces in its puppets in preperation for China war.
Additional Rules from more games

Same house rules as other DD games.
Extra players may elect to coop majors: UK, USA, Germany & Japan.
Guidelines for USA entry:
Base USA war entry is 1 january 1942.
1/Each seperate Axis DOW/Alliance with the following countries: Turkey, Spain,Tibet, Persia brings forward USA entry by 6 months eg and attack on Spain would allow USA to join the war 1 July 1941(may not DOW Japan unless Tibet was the country attacked). If Turkey and Persia are DOW/brought in to alliance USA may enter 1st January 1941.
2/The reverse is also true: Should the UK ally with anyone of the above countries USA war entry is put back 6 months.
3/However Japan may DOW USA anytime from start of 1941 & USA may enter immediately should Japan DOW on the UK. Saying this any events which fire due to a successful Sealion may be honoured.
4/Should Gibralter be captured the USA may send unlimited Destroyers and CVL ships to the UK. This in adddition to the 6 months reduction for Spanish attack. This is needed for the extra length of UK convoys.
5/Also should Russia not be attacked by 1st June 1942 the USA may enter the European war at anytime.This is needed so we do not end up with a facical UK vs German/Italy for years on end because of some deal made with the Russians.
6/The USA is not required to join...but they may.
7/If Russia decides to enter the war over a Sweden or Turkey attack the 6 month reduction for USA entry does not apply.
Italian Entry is as per previous agreement...Paris needs to be captured no CW troops in the Med(SA,NZ & and Australia must remain in their home provinces until Italy is in the war) and only after March 1940 regardless if Paris is captured earlier. The only CW puppets allowed in the Med prior to war with Italy are Oman, Yemen and Iraq.
Japan and Russia may not war with each other until 1st Jan 1943. USSR must either be at war with Germany or Germany must already have been defeated before USSR can dow Japan. Further extensions can be agreed between the 2 countries. Both countries must garrision the border with at least 1 regular division(not militia) in each common border and puppets.
No major war until Danzig.
These guidelines can be discussed and reviewed at anytime due to events around the world. They are not rules as such but guidelines required for a semi historical and partly balanced game.
No major war until Danzig.
It is expected that players honour these so as everyone receives a fair go.
