Axis and allies commanders

@barnee I actually thought Rommel was always his name until then.

[Darth Vahl]

@FranceNeedsMorePower that’s the one I was watching. I think the renegade website says March of 26.

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@Darth-Vahl Ooo, way far away for me to pre-order.

[The Captain]

This looks interesting.

No wonder where they found inspiration to these rules :-)

The Danish Axis & Allies Association will play test and compare these rules with the Original Axis & Allies Commander house rules from the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

The rules from Renegade/Hasbro/Avalon will be compared with:

• Panzer General (Panzer Army & Tank Army)
• Soviet Commissar (Soviet Army Corps)
• Waffen-SS Commander (Waffen-SS Army)
• Air Fleet Commander (Air Fleet)
• Strategic Bomber Commander (Strategic Bomber Air Fleet)
• Naval Fleet Commander (Naval Task Force)

We will announce our play test & comparison results on this forum at the House Rules section.

Anybody know what Erich Von Manstein’s Expert ability is? “Strategic Genius”?
What about Ettore Bastico’s basic ability “Cautious”?

[bartok]

@AlphaKappa
same question?

[Darth Vahl]

@bartok they’re shipping early. As soon as I item mine I’ll share it here.

[Darth Vahl]

@AlphaKappa they’re shipping on 2/12. As soon as I get mine I’ll share it here.

@Darth-Vahl Thanks. Too late for this Europe 1940 saturday. Waiting Bastico Basic and Manstein Expert for the Axis.

ETTORE BASTICO

When attacking or defending in a land battle. if all of your units in the battle are infantry, you may re-roll 1 of your dice each combat round.

FIELD MARSHAL ERICH VON MANSTEIN
Germany
EXPERT
Strategic Genius
When attacking or defending, for each matched set of infantry artillery, and tank you own in the battle (each unit may be part of only 1 set per round). roll I additiona die with an attack or defense value of 2.

[Vital Signs]

@Darth-Vahl Does anyone know the dimensions of the cards in Commanders? I would like to get some card sleeves for them. Thanks!

[Darth Vahl]

@Vital-Signs 3"x4"

[bartok]

@Darth-Vahl
thanks. Manstein “Basic” too many 2 re-rolls in 4 turns we play this saturday. No words about "Sea Battle, land battle, use of aircrafts (no including bombing raids, and air battle). Overpowered?

[Darth Vahl]

@bartok there are some naval commanders that. None for air that i recall.

[bartok]

“Manstein” works during land and sea attacks, but not during industrial bombing.

Thanks,
Matt Hyra
Lead Designer, Commanders

For me, Manstein Basic, the first banned card. I will try Yamamoto Basic, maybe the next one.

[Darth Vahl]

@bartok how did you contact him with your question? I have one about one of the Italy commanders.

[bartok]

Explain your question in BGG. What about italians?

[barnee]

@bartok said in Axis and allies commanders:

What about italians?

well …

heh heh my good buddy is Italian. I just couldn’t help myself. :)

I’ll go away now :)

[Darth Vahl]

@bartok ADMIRAL
ANGELO IACHINO

Italy

EXPERT

Cautious

Once per game.
immediately after
removing a sea unit as a
casualty, you may place
it in the sea zone that is
adjacent to a territory
with “Italy” in its name
and that extends furthest
to the north, if that
sea zone is friendly.

We were playing anniversary. Sea battle off Italy. My buddy takes 2 hits on his battleship. Plays this card. Returns it “immediately” to the battle board. Basically resurrects the battleship. Is this what the card intends?

[CentralCommando]

@Darth-Vahl The latter part of the description threw me for a loop, but no he cannot play this move, as the ship isn’t in a friendly seazone (at least, during a battle). Hope this helped!
