I like the idustrial bombing done by the german fighters? A friend and I have been playing with country specific techs. Here are some of the ones that we have used.
Russian: Infantry costs 2 IPC's, but planes cost 14 IPC's,and tanks cost 6 IPC's. This accounts for the russians ability to recruit, but the lack of material to build the bigger items.
Japan: Fanatical Island Defence. We have some japanese infantry that is painted back that we call the fanatics. You are allowed to convert regular infantry to fanatical infantry, with a limit of one per island. These infantry defend at three but can not leave their island. This accounts for the people that would stay on the pacific islands and thought the war was still going on into the 1970's.
Brits: Since they had the best navy in the world, we gave them two hit carriers and the ability to move three spaces.
German: We used white tanks to represent tiger tanks that defend at three, but cost 8 IPC's. We also had SS troups that worked like marines, but on land.
USA: We just used the Marines from pacific and let them have a lower cost on planes because of the abundance of workers and resources. We also toyed with giving them an arithmetic progresstion with IPC's awarded in the game to account for them not being involved in the war right away. Start with 12, then 24, then on turn three they are at full IPC strength.
