Does anybody have a file for brighter, more easily seen convoy and kamikaze board markers that I could print out on sticker paper? We frequently miss using kamikazes and figuring convoy damages due to the board symbols being printed too lightly.

HistoricalBoardGaming.com had suggested using old transports from the original game and painting them white and putting them on the convoy spots. Still looking for Kamikaze markers.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

As someone who’s never played North Africa (and certainly not this game), I have no idea what works or doesn’t work in this version.

I did notice some typos though.

Hello,

I have just started to play the BBR version just within the last weekend and we were able to get a few games in over the weekend. We are pretty experienced in the Axis & Allies universe as we have played on and off since the mid 80s…(yes, I am almost 60).

We did have a question about Casablanca as far as the Italian NO. Does it need to be occupied to for the Italians to receive the bonus or is just Morocco?

Hi,

I’d really like this map file (Please respond to my emails Contango). I’ve been solo-repping this map on TripleA for a while now and want the opportunity to play over the board. If anyone else has access to the map file, please contact me.

I’m only seeing this now, but it looks pretty cool! However, it seems pretty unbalanced overall. A lot of this comes from the fact that Japan is no longer fighting the Soviet Union and that the UK doesn’t have much recourse when it comes to fortifying the front lines. Here are a couple of changes I would make to this setup:

Set China to its OOB 1942 Setup: China already gets steamrolled in a standard game, but with Manchuria free? Woof. With more units at China’s wing, while they may still get beaten badly, at least it isn’t as terrible as it could be.

Give the UK an Industrial Complex in India: Due to Britain not having the resources to garrison their land, give one IC to India! According to your Turn Order, this may end up impacting Japan’s initial spread. To fix this…

Japan Goes First: This basically gives us the OOB turn order, with Japan going first, Britain going second, America going third, and the Chinese going fourth. This is simply a more effective turn order when it comes down to Japan’s initial expansion.

Haven’t playtested these changes yet, but they should improve the balance of this variant to a degree.

(Also, sorry if this counts as necroposting. I didn’t want to create an entire new topic just for my personal thoughts on this post.)

@panzerlord1939 From what I know of, there’s a couple rule and map changes through the versions (e.g. some maps have Bessarabia while others don’t). It isn’t anything too major, but it is something to consider. Just make sure you try to get components for the specific versions (easier for v4 as its the newest).

You’re welcome, and I’m glad I could help! :)))

I think there is a need for convoy zones in AA global games. They kinda introduced it in AA50. There are several ways to do it.
Have all powers include sz in their NO’s like w/Italy in AA50. Separate sz from the NO’s and create new NO’s for the sea. That way you would have land NO’s & sea NO’s.
**NO’s have been introduced into the game, and would keep things sorta simple. I’m not sure I like that though because it would be an all or nothing deal. Have certain sz worth 1 ipc or so (as Bardoly said) and basically let each power fight over them. Sorry still not to crazy about Germany being in what would be considered a UK zone and getting paid for it. Assign sz to each power and if those zones are in enemy hands it cost you $ or damage markers at your capitol.(could be determined by dice but might cost to much with SBR & rockets) this makes sense because loss of ships would cost $. Assign 3-4 sz to each power as describe by myself and others. If you keep these zones clear of enemy war ships you collect a bonus per sz (1 ipc each) or have the chance of a larger bonus if all sz’s assigned to you are clear. You could in rare cases assign the same sz to 2 powers to add some spark (for Bardoly). In this case it is assumed each power gets more income but by not keeping your convoy zones clear you lose it, results from the ships being sunk.
**As I was typing this out I noticed it might be cool to combine #4 & #5. Say on Germany’s turn it takes control of 2 sz’s assigned to the UK. Uk places 2 damage markers on its capitol. On Uk’s turn it clears those zones so now it gets a bonus to help pay for damage. On second thought I think that would defeat the whole purpose, but in AA their is a counter balance for most things lol.

Only the carrier is destroyed. The fighters are permitted to land at the nearest allied territory or ship. For example, if there is an allied carrier in the same space that could carry another fighter, it could land there. Otherwise, they land at the nearest allied territory.
