LIMITS

Artillery
Meeting Engagements: no TRPs, no pre-planning artillery.

No limits on calibres -- too few points anyway for anything large and battles too quick.

The above settings are the DEFAULT -- if they want, PLAYERS can adjust these settings for their particular battle by mutual agreement/consent.

Sounds good! But two things I think we should reconsider, 1 cat limit and not randomizing ground conditions. I know the big cat limit is debatable but certainly dont want to get or give my opponent the unluckiness of getting muddy/wet ground while attacking. In small battles this could make all the difference.

Yeah sorry I missed the earlier thread discussing QB rules.

Good points -- we'll randomise weather but not ground conditions.

CATS
Ok, we can limit Axis to 1 big cat in normal battles (Axis defender only needs Draw or Minor Defeat to stop Allied player advance)

But -- NO limits in an Axis counter-attack battle.
