Second World War RP

That's fair. For the bonuses past 5 we could prolly get rid of 6 and 7 and just have 10. My logic is that if you're that superior to your enemy then it makes sense for the fight to be quick. Plus, it prevents long drawn out slogs for countries you completely dominate but can't destroy their whole army fast enough.

As for halfing the values that's fine, we could make the .5 bonus on rolls be a about a 1.5 increase from the roll before (1.25 if the number ahead of it is already 1.5).

Something that could be interesting though would be the ability to research to increase the bonus certain units give. For example, upgrading tanks from a +1 (under the new halved system) to a +1.5. I think it should take about 7 pages per .5, but that's up to you.  I also think that if we use this system then upgrading their bonus and reducing their drawbacks should be separate. 

For example, you can upgrade a tanks main cannon to give you a +2 bonus. Guns however still have their +3 (or whatever you want it to be under the halved system) against tanks, which ignores the tanks bonus. The only way to reduce the effectiveness of the Guns bonus is to increase the tanks Armour. Same with Guns. Increasing firepower increases their general bonus, but to decrease the risk of bombers you have to increase mobility.

This brings into question how research would work tho. We could make it to where each player has a single research, which would be most balanced. We could make it to where countries have a certain amount, like factories,  but that could lead to some players being left behind. We could make it where each country has 1, so it incentives invasion, and makes player conflict more likely. But considering I'm currently 4 countries in a trench coat, that would give me a running start.

Another idea, and one I think could be interesting, would be factories being used for both production AND research, with the player having to pick between. This could still give bigger countries a research advantage over smaller countries, but at the cost of losing 1 or more factories for at least 7 pages.

Of course, you don't have to implement the research stuff in any form. Just an idea I think would add even more tactical value to the new bonus system, since you'd have to prioritize certain units, and with the last system you'd also have to manage the balance between production and research.

And here comes the second attack.

Fresh reinforcements have arrived to Portugal. 200,000 of them will be tasked with eliminating all remaining pockets of resistance south of Porto. 100,000 of them will occupy the southern part of Lisbon. 300 bombers and 600 fighters are flown to Portugal. They bomb heavily enemy positions in Lisbon and Porto.

There are only a few thousand defending Lisbon. 100,000 soldiers will attack to destroy the remaining resistance. They need a 5 to win, and 7 or higher will probably let me capture Lisbon.

Now, 100,000 of the reinforcements along with 200 tanks attack Porto. If Lisbon has fallen (roll above) 5 is neeed to win, if not 6.

Glorious triumph! The Portuguese armed forces have surrendered today 8:00 AM to the French liberators!

Due to failure to respond to the French ultimatum, France declares war on Turkey.

200,000 infantry and 200 tanks immediately attack from the border Kilis to Jarabulus. 100,000 attack Akbez.

The Turkish have 500,000 soldiers, 900 tanks and 1800 guns. I'd say it's fair to say that about half of them are in the south. For the first attack the opposing army for Turkey probably 150,000 infantry, 350 tanks and 650 guns. Which means it's 455,000 against 300,000, which means 9 to win.

For the second attack, the remaining forces are defending, that is 100,000 infantry, 100 tanks and 250 guns, which equals 200,000, so 9 to win.



4000 guns and 1500 tanks are transported to Portugal. 2000 guns, 200 bombers and 300 fighters are transported to Syria. 1500 guns and 1000 tanks are transported to Pau.

Only for Eugene V. Debs
