House Rules

Like many WIF groups, we play with a number of house rules that we believe enhance our WIF experience. In general, we try to playtest our house rules thoroughly before we recommend them. If a rule is not well play-tested, we will indicate it here.

Note: Throughout these rules, we will often use the acronym RAW which stands for "Rules As Written" which is another way of saying "the official rules".

Highly recommended

• Simple Oil Rule
• Stalin's War
• Misc. minor house rules

Experimental rules

• Pablo's Combat table of Doom!
• Cumulative Impulse system
• Incorporating Factories-in-Flames into regular WIF
• Dogfight!! Increasing air-to-air attrition in WIF
• Revised In-the-presence-of-the-enemy
• Revised USSR/Germany Pact rules
• Fall of Paris
• Simple Logistics
• Supply convoys

Undergoing review

The following rules have been tried and found to have issues. I recommend staying away from these until further notice.

• Limited naval-air interception
• Victory-in-a-page
• Russian railway gauge
• Not-so-limited overseas supply
