@beelee YoungGrasshopper did a house rules version which is inferior to HRE overall but had some interesting features which I would love for Captain to consider but he wasn’t interested. One of them was a point system for blocking that effectively required two destroyers/escorts or one cruiser in order to block a Sea Zone so it just added a smaller layer of strategic thinking but was a lot more realistic

There was also some other cool things like more bonuses overall so for example if Allies controlled Sicily and Sardinia got a small bonus and if Axis held all of the Balkans they got a small bonus for that.

@beelee Just wondering, always helpful to get the phrasing right! How would you write the rule for bombing underground factories? Similar to AA guns, "Having endured the AA fire, the bomber may now try to damage the underground bunker. On a roll of 1 or 2, he is successful and may roll for damage. Damage rolls of a 5 or a six are a miss."
