@Overkill said in Playing 1941 with Zombies Board:

We’re planning to play through all A&A games in 2026… 1941 is the only version of A&A that we don’t have (and nobody is interested in buying). The 1941 looks very similar to the zombies board…

Are the territories/boarders for 1941 identical to Zombies? Are the Industrial Complex location/types identical? Are all the territory values the same?

There are some small differences between the boards. The most important is the recruitment centers (infantry only factories) in India and Sinkiang.

You can just play the game without the Zombies. You can download on TripleA with the map, “Zombies-World War 2” and then play World War 2 v7.

OK thanks

@Midnight_Reaper Thank you for the reply.

First 2 games were with the Norse pieces but me and the friends are looking into making a few zombie rule changes with the Norse pieces.

I’m currentley working on an ‘Armageddon’ type of rule set. I decided that in addition to Nuclear rules and other goodies that I wanted zombies. I downloaded the rule book for Zombies and printed it off. It took me about an hour to figure out how to do it without the special cards and tokens. I decided just to put a blank marker under the piece that is a Zombie unit.
Without the cards I have made it so that the Zombies are stationary. Unless, you have the tech that allows you to move one. I decided to treat the chart with the advantages as a research board for my game.
Has anyone else done this?

@1940_Fan These are great, thank you for sharing! How do I download these flash cards? Do I have to make a quizlet account?

Axis & Allies Zombies was recently announced so we got a ton of questions about the game answered by Wizards of the Coast and the lead game designer, Scott Van Essen.

If you read this thread you’d fine that the short version of my verdict on the game was:

fun has balance issues for competitive play

So you’re in good company here. Most of the haters are over on the G40 board.
