That’s a pretty glorious map!
Gotta dig those red Brits, the original design has a certain appeal to it. Great find! :-D
What We Want the Next AA boardgame to be.
-
I’d be down with a WWI game as well. I’ve considered using the AAE map to make my own but haven’t spent the money for the Table Tactics pieces yet. Plus I would have to invest in some metal minis which just isn’t in the game budget right now. This would be a great opportunity for WOTC to make something new from something old ( a thing they seem to be good at ).
My second choice would be Stalingrad done like BOTB with a few new things thrown in.
-
I want to see one based on alternate history…see my post in the “other aaa variants” forum.
Barring that, WWI. It’s way cool.
-
You gotta love WW1. Just for the fact that you can “gas” the french and defeat them with chemical weapons in 1914-18 and fly 800 foot Zeppelins over UK and bomb the hell out of them is fascinating. IN this you got a decent German navy and better airforce and the real battle is in france rather than Russia.
Lastly the Turks are in it!
-
IMO I’m thinking the next AA Boardgame should have its own convoy concept similar to what the Theatre-level games employed so you can isolate overseas possessions and conduct interdict shipping with your subs.
I don’t think I’m the only one who was thinking that AAE and AAP was a step in a new direction with a number of features that would have some merit on a global scale… only to find them missing from AA50 and not holding my breath for AA42.

I have always liked the idea of Cold War gone Hot type game
It would take place in the 1980’s like Tom Clancy’s Red Storm Rising.
The US and UK would be on one side with The warsaw Pact on the Other
There would be special rules for the Europe, China and India joining, France surrendering.
And new peics too of modern weapons, like BMPs, T-80s, M1 Abrams, Apaches, F-16s, B-52s, TU-95s
aswell as nuclear subs and nuclear aircraft carriers.it would be awesome
o and of course tactical and stratigic nuclear missles

hey now, you put Bomba’s ol’ NATO, Nukes and Nazis and A&A mechanics together and you got my vote.
Crank up the Death Ray!! :evil:

How about including inflation and adding pimp techs that cost like 100IPCs that you can’t afford until turn 12

I dunno about that…. but importing N3’s political index would rock :mrgreen:

What exactly is Nukes NATo and Nazi’s, I have never heard about it before
-
its Hitler in the 1950’s attacking the parts of the world he didn’t finish off after winning WW2.( North and south America)
-
Id rather fight commies

@Imperious:

Close.
The backstory’s premise is that Hitler is assassinated prior to opening of Second Front and WW2 ends in a stalemate thru diplomatic channels and a Cold War exists for 40 years or so while all sides develop nuclear arms…blah, blah, blah…Anyway, in truth the designers admit that they were working from the fact that people they polled liked three things in wargames:
1. NATO (this was in the Cold War eh)
2. Nukes
and
3. Nazis - cuz they’re just sooooo evil. :evil:hence the name…

I am having the US fight the Soveits would be a little refreshing for A&A players

So like a 1948 kind of scenario?
And what about the other nations? -
Well, I prefer a 1980s scenario, like Red Storm Rising or Red Dawn
but for a 1948, which certaintly would have more similair units with the regular A&A, I would suggest that the countries would be the United Kingdom/Commenwealth, as well as a France/West Germany/Italy hybrid(European Coal Comition or what ever that 50s EU was called) and Communist China. Also there should diplomatic rules for Allainces Like NATO and Warsaw, organizations of nations like the Arab League and the Organization of American States, as well as rules for decoliniztion and non-alligned nations.

WWI for sure. Might be more difficult to set up but I think it would awesome.

WW1 could be fun, but each turn should represent 6-8 months if the game is to be exciting and not boring(on an strategic scale/A&A scale) like the real war was.
-
Alright the voting has been locked. AAE40/AAP40 is happening now. Until those are near completion, we can only guess what the next game will be. I am guessing Stalingrad, maybe WW1, but it doesn’t sound like Larry wants to go WW1. He did indicate that he is working on a Middle Ages game. Check out the thread.

How about Axis and Allies North Africa?
-
Now you got it Brain. An AA North Africa game With a decent size board that shows the whole Mediterranean area with lots of sea zones and lots of land zones in N. Africa so we can have maneuver room at sea and on land. That way we can have sea, land and air battles and use all of the sculpts.@Brain:
