I really like BOTB. It’s the only one that I occasionally break out and play as a change from Global.

Not quite the same as Axis & Allies but there is “1812; Invasion of Canada”, which is a semi card driven war game. It uses wooden blocks but you could substitute these with “Viktory” game pieces or other miniatures. The game is worth checking out on its own merits, with or without miniatures.

Attached is the latest version of AAG41 w/ Axis & Allied Minors.

I know coachofmany/Tigerman77 & Ozeta have there own versions running now…mine is not meant to override but is just an update of a version i’ve posted over the years.

It plays off the AAG40 boards and is based off Alpha2 rule base; NO’s have been modified to take into account the timeframe and a NA or two have been added to each nation.

Essentially, the game adds Romania, Finland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Vichy France for the Axis and Canada, African Colonies, Free French and a more separated UK Pacific for the Allies. It also establishes “Major Neutrals:” Spain as Pro Axis; Sweden and Turkey as “major” strict neutrals.

There are also some modified rules allowing for powers to attack on the same turn, etc.

I have found it to be a “simple” upgrade and fairly balanced (played 5 games so far with 2 Axis wins and 3 Allied wins).

I have used units from historicalboardgaming.com and will eventually add the FMG units. I’ll post some pics later.

Yes CWO (one of our residents history buffs :-)) has some good points. What would you do if you were Japan? Invade China or pool resources for attacking ANZAC, UK, Russia, or even the US! All these options are open to you!

I got this file a long time ago and decided to make some changes and ‘ghost’ the classic setup upon it.

It has a slightly different dynamic than standard 2nd edition. I also have a 2 page rules file that i am still locating. Obviously neutrals are in play.

I recently got a copy of Conquest Gaming’s “A House Divided The Brothers War”. It is an area movement game that uses miniatures and, because of the railroad movement in addition to regular movement, 6 distinct theaters (3 per side),general and event cards that modify the fighting troops abilities, is a very interesting game to play. It is tough for the North to survive the opening rounds because of their relatively weak starting generals and troop levels, but because of the reinforcement advantage, if it can hang on the game becomes winable for it. Another interesting and historical feature is that many of the South’s generals have good infantry, cavalry and artillery modifiers while many of the North’s generals are lesser, but all the main generals are represented so eventually the North draws Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, Grant, etc. But, of course, the South continues to draw generals each turn so Longstreet, Stuart, Pemberton and Lee appear (Beauregard and Jackson start the game in play). You have to provide your own pieces, the pieces from the Napoleon Risk will work, but I had enough pieces from Battle Cry to play the game. The game is only $13 and with about $10 shipping is still are good buy for such an interesting game.

My copies are of the 2nd version, otherwise I wouldn’t have recommended it.

The pieces are in the primary colours: red, blue, green & yellow.

Also the board is simpler, as you get a “console” for each player to store units, reserves etc:

Also browsing around my collection I noticed these planes from Airways:

Just wondered if people would prefer aircraft mounted on stands like this; you could have them on a peg that slotted into the stand or into a corresponding slot on a carrier.
More expensive to produce, but gives a more imposing impression of air power.

I have a similar rule, but instead of opening fire the AT guns fight in every round and can be taken as casualties. They still only hit on 1, but each hit can be applied to an enemy tank.

@Emperor_Taiki:

When my firends and I play A&AR we use a house rule for anti-tank guns like yours, except we use AA guns.

At the beginning of a combat in a territory with an AA gun, instead of using it to fire at aircraft, you can instead chose to fire it against tanks
Roll one dice for every tank and on a 1 there hit.

You may want to take your original AT gun rules out to replace with this one, because it is more realistic,
The 88 was not deisigned as an artillery piece, but as a anti-aircraft gun, but later it was discovered that it was a good AT gun too.
so it is only logical that in an A&A Africa game, AA guns can also be used as AT guns.
