i am planning on starting a hoi2 gameing group for the sole purpose of playing 36 campaign games, which will be played in sessions with atleast 1 session a week. Each session lasting from 4-7 hours per session.
I have set the rules for balance and game play as follows :
***see below for more info on allaince dates and joining
For overall balance of gameplay with out micromanaging the flow of the game the following rules are in place for all games starting with the first session:
- No usa player until jan 1940( for arguments sake most times be best to opt out the usa player slot on all first session's until game gets to sept' 39 in which time usa player may begin playing)
- Until sept 1939 all major powers will stick to there events as they follow, germany cannot attack poland for instance until the danzig event.
no garunteeing independance and such of country's to casue war before war is to start (example ussr gar independence of poland to casue war with germany etc)
- germany or ussr cannot be at war with each other until june 41 with barrbarossa.
- usa cannot be at war with anyone until pearl harbor event happens.
- japan has to take the pearl harbor event forceing war with usa and the allies and then may join the axis with germany, as the usa may now join the allies.
- to insure the surprise attack of japan on usa, usa cannot enter forces in the pacific until 3 months after pearl harbor event.on the flip side japan cannot attack or stack forces and further then wake island until after the 3 months grace period is over then anything goes
- no usa forces allowed to enter europe or attack axis held provinces until jan '43(***this pertain's to all other axis not with japan which usa is allowed to engage after the 3 months grace period after ph event)
- Basic Historical: which means the major alliance's remain, hence axis is always atleast japan, germany , italy...as allies is always british, usa , and ussr. Italy can enter alliance will germany at anytime after 36, uk obviously will be allied with usa after ph event as japan will be allied with axis after ph event. ussr can join allies when it is attacked at barbarossa)
- must have a broadband connection
***We will finish all games, any game that starts in 36 we will see through to the end no matter how one sided a game might become(Remeber it's never over till it's over) ...a player who quits before we see war is bad, but a player who quits after war has started and just becasue he doesn't like the way it is going is worse!!!
- there is some rules about game speed, and pasues etc but i will get into that and discuss with players before game starts
as well i have access to a teamspeak channel so since communication is key if you have a microphone that's great!!!
These rules are for basic balance . obviously you could go on forever about balance the fact is these are the rules for this game and they are core and will not change.
Im looking for players who are reliable, experienced and will see games through to the end!!!
Game session's will start on thurs or friday's i'll wait to see some feedback on players interested and we will work out a workable day and time.....
