Thank you.

If you’ve come here, looking to get your own copy of the rules to the Nova Game Designs edition of Axis & Allies, I am now able to help you … courtesy of another web site.

With help from Krieghund, I was able to post the rules as a file on Boardgamegeek.com. You can find it as a file under Axis and Allies.

I hope this is helpful to you, kindly Time Traveler.

dont remember it was 10 years ago almost

Ok, if anyone is interested, I’ve added this to the Canadian Mod. There are a lot of changes which I could go into, I expect it will be a bit like Balanced Mod in that early on Allies will have the edge but if it gets popular and people understand how to play it a bit more, Axis will start to win out.

Anyone interested in playtesting? Tried one game against myself which the allies look like winning.

Re: Grasshopper & Gargantua's 3G40 Deluxe Edition (Updated October 20th)

Is there a map key I can use to match up the sea zone naming conventions referenced in this thread to the OOB map sea zones?

heh heh that ought to keep a guy busy

Remember this is for one battle per leader, but it is a decent idea. Aldertag has the starting disposition correct and it contains all types of commanders.

Russia: 1 General
Germany: 1 General, 1 Air Marshal
England: 1 Air Marshal
Japan: 1 Air Marshal, 1 Admiral
America: 1 General, 1 Admiral

Now if you add Italy, they have 1 general ( Rommel)

Give UK one General
If you add anzacs they get nothing

@SS-GEN said in Is anybody playing Xeno World at War?:

@Imperious-Leader Where’s all the info for this game ?

Here’s a link to the rules

https://www.xenogames.com/wawrules.html

@redrum making this into a playable triple a map is a goal of mine, but i have only just mow started to look into that process. I also want to get it printed on a roll up mat so i can take it to orgins and gencon in 2020. Also, i will need more of the italian, anzac, and french models. I have plenty of the other nation’s troup from multiple different versions of axis and allies.

The majority of this content was inspired by Imperious Leaders Global 1939 setup. This edition is tailored to be utilized on the OOB Anniversary Edition Board. With several modifications, Great Britain is now 2 separate territories (Scotland and England) and Japan is now two separate territories (Hokkaido the northern Island and Greater Japan) also the sea zone of japan is split into two 62a and 62b these territories are nearly split naturally and don’t hinder the game performance. see Pictures below.

These rules employ all of the rules for AA50 including the optional rules. These new existing rules are added and supersede and replace out of the box AA50 rules where applicable.

Winning the Game
Victory Cities
On the map are 21 victory cities, all crucial to the war effort. The selection of the 21 victory cities was based on the historical importance of the city at the time. “Importance” could be measured in terms of strategic location, industrial base, resources, or other important strategic factors.

At the end of the United States player’s turn, check to see if either side has won the game based on the victory city condition you are playing to.
Default “Surrender with Honor” 17
Option 1 “Projection” 15
Option 2 “Total War” 21
If your side controls enough victory cities to achieve the preset victory condition, you all win the war. Otherwise, start a new turn and continue the conflict.

Order of Play: Starting Income
Wartime IPCs: are the Sum of all territory IPC values under that Nations Control
Germany: starts with 24 IPC gain income from Finland and Romania if not conquered each round
France: starts with 10 IPC
Soviet Union: collects 20 IPC at war with Finland. (neutral till turn 3) Wartime IPC at 28 + more depending on the outcome of Finnish war and other Neutral Conquest.
China: 0
Japan: starts with 17 IPC
United Kingdom: starts with 34 IPC
Italy: starts with 12 IPC
United States: collects 20 IPC (neutral till turn 4) Wartime IPCs begin at 37

General situation:
Germany:
Begins at war against Poland (limited to no ground forces on Franko/German border able to participate in attacks against Poland Turn 1), also at war with France and England.
Neutral with Russia until round 3.
Total War: The German war economy increases by 10 IPC starting on turn 4.

Italy:
Is neutral until they activate earlier (declare war), or when Paris Falls (defeat of France). Italy can attack neutrals and avoid a general war, but cannot enter or fly over British or French territories.

Japan:
Begins at war with China.
England and France declare war on Japan if they invade into any Neutral, English, or American territory (this includes passing through sea-zones).
May enter into an agreement to split the territories East Indies and Borneo with England if England agrees to close the Burma Road.
Enters at war with England if England activates a Pro-allies territory of East Indies or Borneo.
America will declare war on Japan if Japan enters into any US control territory or sea-zone.

France:
Begins at war with Germany.
When France falls (when Paris Falls), the territory of Algeria is turned into Vichy French and the territory belongs to the Germans and Germany is allowed to place 2 Infantry into Algeria the French forces there are removed from play if any. All remaining French forces that existed when Paris falls, are under British control except naval. These remaining French forces are considered Free French. All other territories that did belong to France are now totally under British control and Britain then collects the income for these territories.

French Naval disposition:
Procedure: Roll one d6 for each French ship:
1 = Scuttled by English
2= interned (remove from play)
3= interned (remove from play)
4= interned (remove from play)
5= German ship
6= German ship

England:
Begins at war with Germany.
British controlled units may not enter any French territories, except France proper while France remains unconquered.
Neutral with Japan unless Japan declares war or enters into any British Territory or Sea-zone. If Japan enters into a Neutral Pro-allied Territory then England and France declare war on Japan.
Enters at war with Japan if England activates a Pro-allies territory of East Indies or Borneo.

Russia:
Neutral until turn 3 with Germany and Italy.
May attack any neutral territory and pro-axis territory without entering into war with the axis.
Non aggression pact with Japan until turn 4.

China:
Begins at war with Japan.
May only move forces in and out of Chinese territories (Yunnan, Chinghai, Suiyuan, Ningxia, Hupeh, Fukien, Sikang, Kiangsu, and Manchuria) may also enter into the English territory of Kwangtung if taken by Japan.
Every two territories under Chinese control can build one infantry. If they count an odd number, the fraction allows China to produce a unit equal to 4 IPCs if Burma Road is open.

United States:
The United States remains neutral unless attacked until turn 4.
If any Axis player gets inside a sea zone adjacent to any US-controlled land territory or island, the US player will go to war with all Axis nations.
US national production starts at a total of 20 IPC. Each new turn once at war the income grows and they can Lend-Lease income to UK. Starting on turn 5, the Soviet Union can receive this aid (lent on turn 4, received on turn 5).
Once the United States enters the war on turn 4 or sooner, her income continues to grow each turn, until it reaches a total of 60 IPC. No matter what; the maximum amount of Lend-lease support is capped at 15 IPC to both UK and the Soviet Union during wartime.
During her neutrality, Original American pieces remain in setup and cannot be moved. Only newly built naval or air units can be moved and only to sea zones or territories adjacent or within her national tokens as printed on the map.

Summary of Income:
Turn 1: 20 and no Lend Lease
Turn 2: 20 and up to 5 Lend Lease
Turn 3: 20 and up to 10 Lend Lease
Turn 4: 37 and 10 Lend Lease
Turn 5: 37 + 5 and 10 Lend Lease
Turn 6: 37 + 10 and 15 Lend Lease
Turn 7+: 37 + 15 and 15 Lend Lease

Lend Lease:
American aid to UK and/or the Soviet Union must go to purchase non-infantry types of units. The money is allocated on the American turn and spent on the following UK or Soviet turn and placed in an off map box known as a lend lease mobilization box. All aid has a one-turn delay, so the Soviet Union won’t see any money until her 5th turn.

Losing your Capital:
When you lose your capital, you immediately lose IPC equal to the value of the territory from your previously collected income total. Other Cities and Factories within your territory are still able to produce units. If a nation is reduced to only their capital city and this is taken then all saved IPCs are handed over to the conqueror.

Scorched Earth:
Any territory under attack that contains a factory and is captured results in the destruction of this unit. The new controlling player may build a new factory however. Exception: Cities never lose factory capability

Production Capacity of Cities/Factories:
Victory Cities now have the ability to produce units up to a certain capacity equal to the territories IPC value this rule applies to the purchase and placement of new factories in a separate territory. For example, Egypt which now has the Victory City of Cairo has an IPC value of two so its production capacity is equal to that. Following the production capacity chart, Egypt can only produce units that reach that capacity limit. Example infantry have a capacity of one so Egypt can produce a max of two infantry or in the case of destroyers which have a capacity of two; Egypt would only be able to produce only one and then reach the maximum capacity.
Repairing ships also take up part in the total territory capacity.
All cities are considered to have ports and naval yards, but do not add to any additional movement points to units like Global Rules do.
New Victory Cities to add are Cape Town in South Africa, Cairo in Egypt, and Tobruk in Lybia.

Factories:
Factories are allowed to be built in territories with an IPC amount of 2 or greater. These follow the same production rules as Victory Cities.

Burma Road:
Consist of the territories of India, Burma and Yunnan. If all remain entirely out of Japanese control, the Chinese may purchase any type of unit for China (up to an IPC value of 4) if an odd number fraction occurs with total territory sum. This unit must be placed in Yunnan. Japan and Britain may enter into an agreement closing the Burma Road to China if they agree to no hostilities between UK and Japan. This then will allow Japan and UK to split the money Islands for the resources.

Fortifications:
Fixed Fortifications are placed on Four areas of the map French/German border on both sides, Gibraltar, and Finland/Karelia border on Finish side. These fortifications increase Infantry and Artillery Defense to 3 but only if attacked at these border areas. An attack into France from the sea will not qualify the use of the defense bonus. In the event of multiple attacks into a territory by land such as attacking Germany from both Northwestern Europe and France the defense bonus automatically is applied.

Repairing Units:
Battleships, Carriers, and Tanks now take two hits to destroy. Can house rule to OOB hit points and Cost if desired. Any damaged units must be returned to a City/Factory to be repaired at a specific cost. Units returned to a factory or sea-zone containing one and are designated to be repaired are not repaired until the next turn of play by the owning faction. if an enemy nation that attacks these areas while repairs are being made the owning unit is still considered damaged during combat.

Impassible Areas:
Afghanistan, Himalayas, and the Sahara Desert are off-limits to land units. Air units may pass over them only in NCM phase.
The Americans and British cannot enter the Baltic with airpower unless they control one side of the Danish straights.

Scandinavia:
Attacks against any part of Finland and Norway are only for one round of combat due to the rugged nature of the terrain/weather.

Interception, Escort, and Scramble:
Limited to only 1 Fighter or Tactical Bomber. Similar to the 1940 Global rules.

[1_1565659913670_Global 1939 Anniversary setup.docx](Uploading 100%) 

Oztea also has a 1942 setup

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/20575/oztea-s-1942-global-setup

@Imperious-Leader Only the setUp cards of all the dropbox documents can be opened. The rest of documents aren’t there any longer.

Does someone know if there has been any progress so far? It’s a pitty we always end up having new iterations of the global maps or pacific/europe scenarios and not other theaters of operations.

@SS-GEN Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, I’ve adopted that Vichy idea in other games in the past, essentially for the 1940 games. It’s simple, but adds some unknowns, and stays true to history. When the Allies landed in Torch, they had no idea what to expect from the French forces. While not much blood was shed against them, there were varying degrees of French resistance to the landings, from surrendering immediately, to straight up changing sides, to fighting back with all they had. So I’ve done a simple rule: once the Allies attack a Vichy territory, you roll a dice for each unit. 1-3 they become Allied, 4-6 they become Axis (were neutral before) and fight back. You do this for each territory as it’s attacked, helping with the uncertainty of what different garrisons might do. If the Axis move into Vichy territories at all, the French forces fight against them immediately.

Anyways, I’m getting off track :)

So yes, the Vichy aspect would be part of this, on top of the rest.

I agree with you, you couldn’t go too far out of Africa. I wouldn’t envision this game going any further North than Rome. Maybe even just to Reggio di Calabria at the tip of the boot even. That was only a thought if the Mediterranean wanted to be used at all. This would still encompass Sicily and Malta, so that would still be interesting. If not, I say just a map of North Africa, stretching from Morocco to Cairo, or Tunisia to Cairo, depending on the time line preferred.

So sounds like, by your omission of mentioning the USA, you’re in favor of an early war scenario?

Given that my thought process here is an A&A official game, I don’t think hexes is envisioned here. I think Battle of the Bulge does that, but again, have not played. I suppose you could, but I’d be in favor of what you say, chopping up territories into multiple smaller ones.

I think a one round of combat situation would work for this game. A lot of North African fights weren’t as drawn out as in other theaters (save some of the more famous ones). To that end, I’d even say one round of combat, then everyone disengages until the next round. The dessert made communications hard, I think this would well simulate that small tactical battles that had to happen.

Again, given the scope of an A&A game, I don’t know well how weather or terrain may fit into the mold. I think you maybe have something done to simulate the dessert. Whether that be no blitzing for combat, affecting free moving, etc., but not sure. But that’s part of why I’ve posted here! To see what others may think! I agree, lost to consider here, though the guys on this forum are usually up for that :)

@CrazyIvan TYVM for your input…

Why don’t you just move up to AA 50 game ? Besides your playing Triplea A now

@CrazyIvan
a lot of time : ) dl Pact of Steel and open the games folder and then open POS 2 and it will explain what triplea can do, mostly : )

If you run into something it can’t do, you need to make a feature request or have slide ruling capability to java code it yourself : )

@Midnight_Reaper There was a group of pieces made by pewtercraft each had their rules with them for use with axis and allies from that time period of MB. not sure if the rules can be found anymore and pewtercraft has been done for a while. The ones I currently have.

Fortresses
Heavy artillery
Anti tank guns
Mechanized infintry (this is in game now)
Pt Boats
Troop Trains (versions of this are now in game)
AAA/At guns
Scorched earth ruins
Pocket battleships

Some of the ideas are good if they are tweaked a bit.

Wait you still needing that?
