@The-Captain
I used 3mm thumb nuts drilled out to fit 3mm acrylic rods. I used a number of 3d printed jigs for cutting the rods, assembly of the stands and gluing the magnets. If I remember later I’ll attached some pictures of the jigs/stands

Setup complete. Plating against chatgpt now and it made some horrific mistakes. My Italian navy destroyed the British Mediterranean fleet in turn 1 😂

@SeaYa I might do that physical option. It’s a split nine to ten hour with two stops, one down and one back. That would work pretty well, if a bit different.

I’m in the process of revamping the webiste/blog. As part of that, I have realized that I’m missing some important pieces: high resolution images of the box covers and maps.

If I do this myself, I will take months so I need your help. If one person takes on one games, we can finish in days instead of months.

Who can volunteer?

Also, I know that some of theses already exist in the world so lets use this thread to consolidate the links.

Axis and Allies has a scale problem, which is the nature of the beast when you try to put ww2 in a box.

A turn is supposed to represent several months, and in a single turn A bomber can fly from the UK and hit the Mediterranean sea sinking infinity transports

I do enjoy creative use of plans and figuring out weird flight paths, but it does give air power an insane ability.

historically/thematically, air power was more powerful when the bases were closer to the fight. (why fighters defend better than they attack) So could we have a feature where air power is reduced at greater ranges?

Some ides I have,
1)
Air Power uses 1 movement every time they don’t retreat. (let plains retreat, individually & separately whenever they want) my favourite but tricky to track
2)
Air power only stays for 1 or 2 rounds of combat unless they are adjacent
3)
Air power’s attack is reduced to the remaining movement the plains individually have

I’d like to see if there are other rules like this but i did not find them

@General-6-Stars ill find it for you and send the values

can someoone send me 3d printable files for the infantry perferable if they had uniforms from their coorolated nation thx

Looking for the link to the IPC paper money that was created by sireblood. None of the YouTube videos have the link.

@Tottes1337 all versions (previous and current) of the BBR cards are also available for purchase here:

If you want a free download, they are available on the discord (link should be above).

@CorporalClegg Thank for your reply.
Yes I did see those, but i thought I didn’t need two separate versions and I am very fond of your layout. So if you one decide to make the last 4 cards to play global, and you would like to share please let me know :-)

Axis & Allies: Commanders Expansion

I have made an expansion for the game adding commanders. Except for a few special abilities, everything is based around a re-roll system.

New features

57 new commander cards, with at least 2 for each nation 39 Generals and 18 Admirals

Quick Guide:

All commanders have certain amount of Power. Power represents how many re-rolls that can be used per battle. A unit can only re-roll once per combat round. Abilities affect this.

Each nation can only use 3 commanders in both offensive and defensive battles each game round.

Final note:

This is a work in progress and therefore subject to change. Critique is very much appreciated. This version is not properly gametested.

@Call77 A bit late to the party, but if you don’t mind, I’d really appreciate those PDFs!

I haven’t used that map, but I’d recommend scaling your pieces up by about 10-20% to keep things proportional. Test fit as you go to make sure it works.

I usually just snap a quick photo of the board with my phone before packing up. It makes it easy to pick up where we left off.

Ages ago I made some NO cards for Anniversary. I recently revisited the project as the previous versions had some issues. There are 2 versions. The first version has a fancy reverse side which looks great if you can get the front and backs to line up perfectly when printing. The second version has a simple camo reverse side.

Here’s the links to the cards:

Enjoy

@Steiner This board is so cool! I love the colors and how 3D it is. I’d love to see photos with all the units setup!

@vodot Really useful, thanks a lot

@Always-Wanderer

Thank you for providing this!

@henrik-steffensen look at my 1942 files. I think i did a fine job and you can print it in any size because its vector artwork.
