This is what we do in game. Each neutral has a territory value and some kind of army and a few ships. You can attack them if you want. But u need to capture each neutral territory to get icp income.
If you lose battle then just that lone neutral joins other side.
But we also have a cost to try and influence a strict neutral to your side and you receive the territory value towards income and what is there for the ground troops and a possible ship. Nothing stronger than a Destroyer.
Not all countries can influence the same neutrals. We roll a d20 and a 4 or less u get neutral.
This is just an idea u may look at.
Spain and Turkey have the biggest Amy but cost more for those 2 to try and get.
New Pieces/Rules on a Throwback Board.
-
Anyone ever played new rules and units on the old board?
-
It would be very tough to go back and play such a simple board as Classic. That being said, I bet a lot of the newer mechanics wouldn’t work so well with such a limited territory count.
-
I’m sure some stuff mght not work. Dicetruction played thier home brew version and it sounded like good times. I just wondered if anyone else had attempted it.
-
I have played many games of classic with artillery and cruisers
-
Did something similar back int he day. No arty but used the old Fortress America hovertanks as a Destroyer/Gunboat. Don’t laugh lol that’s pretty much all we could muster at the time. We used the parts for different stuff too. Back then there wasn’t a lot of options.
-
Lol I used arty from risk, and Legos for destroyers

One of the earliest A&A expansions which came with sculpts, Enemy on the Horizon, was designed to be played on the Milton Bradley board. It had pieces in the five classic colours. The unit types were commandos, destroyers, artillery.

Hahaha…thanks for sharing that Marc. Yep I have seen the infantry years ago in a random photo with Table Tactics landing craft. On a second note if you still have an MB Game Master box take a look at the British infantry pic on the back… the sub machine gun and pose of the sculpt is far different than anything I’ve EVER seen OOB. I wonder if LH has them in his safety deposit box somewhere LOL.

Anyone know of a place to pick up these units for play on the classic board? Also is there a post within the forum that has a the implementation of the rules. for the Cruisers and Artillery.
