![]() ![]() Level 9 forts IMO should be restricted to key non atoll bases with large AF's i.e. I am sure most folks know my views on this. If an atoll is attacked and taken then the new owner should attempt to get to the defensive stacking limit within 1 month. If an atoll starts with higher fort level, that will determine troops limits. ![]() Each vehicle (tank, engineering vehicle, etc) counts as 4 men. Any combination of units up to 20,000 men per max fort level as above may be stacked at an Atoll.Any combination of units up to 10,000 men per max fort level as above in LCUs may be stationed at an Atoll.Exception is if the total SBS = 0 in which case 1 fort level may be constructed there. Note some Atolls will start with larger fortifications – these should not be increased. For example Wotje is port 1 (1) and airfield 0 (1). Maximum fortification on an atoll is limited to the airfield SBS + port SBS. It is still early in both games so it will be interesting to see how it plays out. I also have another game using this set of rules for atolls. This is how FuererKrieg and I are playing it in our game. A single division attacking at a time also sounds about right. Sustaining more than a regiment, with support seems untenable on an atoll. Also, you might want to consider some places like Truk, to not be Atolls at all, but "small island/island groups". I'd lean towards "less is more" if I was one of the parties. Very large many islanded Atolls like Kwajalein could certainly have more, but you have to decide if you want to differentiate. Those numbers match up pretty much with what happened historically. For single/small groups of Atoll Islands, like Wake, Midway, Betio, I would say a reinforced regiment is about all that could be sustained and a reinforced Division is about all that could attack. Should it be possible to take an Atoll, etc.? Then the negotiation can proceed from that point. But for the purpose of house rules, I guess the players should first agree on what they want the outcome to be. In otherwords, you might be able to "overstack" for an attack. How many people could be "sustained" on an island like Betio, is probably different from how many could be involved in an attack. I've thought about the "atoll" fortication level a fair bit and tried to do some objective calculations to support it - bottom line - I agree with the level 6 answer.Īs to stacking that is tougher. Before we get going to far, I may ask for an additional house rule concerning what level of fortification can be built on an atoll (I think level 6 would be enough and this is just a number I'm throwing out there) along with no more LCU's than 2 divisions worth or their equivalent (3 Regiments or 3 Brigades equal 1 division). I have just started a two day turn PBEM game as the Allies using CHS scenario 158. ![]()
