IL's Axis and Allies Global 1939 and 1942 files

[General 6 Stars]

Did see all countrys get elite armys starting on turn 3. Then you make 1 elite per turn there after but only russia and germany get more than 1.

[Imperious Leader]

All Nations start on turn 3, except USA which starts the turn they are at war. One army per turn build or replace, not more than total indicated at one time.

I am trying to create a Battlemap mod for this however I can’t copy the picture of the map off the PDF onto paint. Could someone please post it as a .bmp file or as a .jpg thanks.

[Imperious Leader]

The file is very large, but i will try this.

yes of course, Vichy is pro axis neutral. If Italy attacks spain, Spain is now a UK ally

[General 6 Stars]

so if Italy attacks Spains ships then UK allies and if US attacks Spains ships axis allie.

Sorry you are not making any sence here. Spend more than 1.3 seconds composing your sentence.

[General 6 Stars]

If Italy attacks Spains ground troops or ships in sea zone 13, then Spain becomes UK control. If USA attacks Spains ground troops or ships in sea zone 13 they become axis control.

Yes

If USA attacks Spains ground troops or ships in sea zone 13 they become axis control.

Ok new rule:

• Fortifications are now standard units and can protect your territoryfrom enemy attack. These cost 6 IPC and provide a +1 defense to Infantry or Artillery up to the limit of the IPC value of the territory. Once built they are placed inside the territory and cannot move and if captured are destroyed. If the attack is an amphibious invasion, on the first round all defending artillery gets a free shot (after any Shore Bombardments). Note: Gibraltar fortification defends against attack from either sea zone.

Please forgive the noob for maybe asking silly questions.

I am about to start putting together a game of AA 1939 with your map, IL.
But I have a few problems someone might help me with
One. In the setup you list several naval units that I don’t recognize: BB, CA, DD, SS and AP. I figured CV was an aircraft carrier, but what are the others?

I currently own the original AA42, AAP and AAE. But I don’t have any mech inf, tactical bombers, fortifications and probably several of the above mentioned naval units. Where do I get these (or useable substitutes)?

I think I have found maps, rules, setup charts, conflict charts and such in threads round and about. But to be sure I have the rigth stuff, is it all listed (or linked to) somewhere?

[HBG]

CV-Carrier
BB-Battleship
CA-Cruiser
DD-destroyer
SS-Submarine
AP-Transport

Parts for game on EBay, boardgamegeek.com, or my site www.historicalboardgaming.com

Thanks Coachofmany.
I see your shop has a lot of pieces.
But of course there is an issue of colors.
Since I have some games already, I would like to use the pieces I already own. So I have, for example, red japanese pieces, but  your japanese cruiser is not red. It looks more like the color of the british. Is that correct, or are they yellow like in the original A&A?

You shouldn’t happen to have put together a full set of pieces for the IL 1939 map, so I can save myself the trouble, and just buy the lot?

Thanks for helping me out :-)

[HBG]

You will not find that the red pieces come with cruiser, tac bombers or cruisers, so you may need a set of the now orange. Pieces in all games except for the one you bought.
There is now blue French pieces, grey ANZAC pieces, green Chinese pieces.
The games have evolved over time.
Now both field marshal games and I are producing additional plastic pieces for these types of games. If you go to my site, I do have red Japanese pieces, sorted under Axis and allies games, pacific 2001.

have u tried doing this with g40 yet?

[Imperious Leader]

This was made before G40 came out and is really different.

Another thread has something more like that in Variants section.

@Imperious:

These cost 6 IPC and provide a +1 defense to Infantry or Artillery up to the limit of the IPC value of the territory.

If the attack is an amphibious invasion, on the first round all defending artillery gets a free shot (after any Shore Bombardments). Note: Gibraltar fortification defends against attack from either sea zone.

Im curious why you would choose to give the defenders more damage dealing capability rather then the opposite in survivability… the idea of fortifications is to do damage to the enemy while removing their ability to do the same to yourself.  So in essence either way would ‘work’, but for logical argument wouldn’t any enemy attacking force (in our house rules we have directional qualifiers (did it cross the border the fort was on)) have a harder time killing the defenders then the defenders receiving an easier time killing the attackers while the attackers having the same chance as without a fort being present?

we use a -1 to attackers rolls to signify the defensive build up.  how do you find the +1 defender rolls works in play?  I find our -1 is a huge in game and psychological boundry.  We see a lot more flanking and amphibious assaults to get around them.
