A&A old vs new vs Europe/Pacific together.

@tomcoll67

Hello, I am interested in helping you create rules for such a scenario. To begin, I have some suggestions for unit and weapon rules.

D6 system

Land Units:

Infantry
cost-3 ipc A1/D2/M1 (A2 when supported 1 to 1 by artillery)

Mech Infantry
cost-4 ipc A/1/D2/M2 (A2 when supported 1 to 1 by artillery)

Artillery
cost-4 ipc A2/D2/M1 (first strike)

Self-propelled artillery
cost-5 ipc A2/D2/M2 (first strike)

Tank
cost-6 ipc A3/D3/M2 (can blitz)

Commando
cost-5 ipc A2/D2/M1 (target selection on a roll of 1)

Air Assault Infantry
cost-4 ipc A1/D2/M1 (M3 from airbase)

Surface to air missile
cost-6 ipc A2X3/D2X3/M1

Weapons:

Rockets

Cruise missile
cost-8 ipc M2 (launched from cruisers, destroyers, airbases and naval bases. Role 1 D6 for damage inflicted, 1-2= 1 hit, 3-4= 2 hits, 5-6= 3 hits.)

Anti-ship missile
cost-8 ipc M2 (launched from cruisers, destroyers and naval bases. Role 1 D6 for damage inflicted, 1-2= 1 hit, 3-4= 2 hits, 5-6= 3 hits.)

Sub launched ballistic missile
cost-12 ipc M2 (launched from subs. Role 1 D6 for damage inflicted.)

Intercontinental ballistic missile
cost-20 ipc M10 (launched from missile silos. Role 2 D6 for damage inflicted.)

The combat system is quite different from A&A, so it would be difficult to replace cards with extra pieces directly. Dice work differently from A&A as well.

Cards are used throughout the game sequence; for additional movement, combat bonuses, special actions and reinforcements. Building combos of cards on your hand is part of the strategic element in the game.

All 170 cards in the game have authentic pictures.

How’s this working out?

Field Marshall games would be making them once they sell out their AA dice plus the special Italian, French and Chinese ones. Once they get them going they look into new ideas and tokens are on the list as i hear it.

Map and the unit setup for the game can be found from ABattlemap. However I can’t find the rules for the game. The rules were in the Flames of Europe website, but the site is down for some reason. I have played the game once and I would like to play it again, I just don’t remember the rules.

Does anyone know where to find rules for Advanced Historical A&A: Europe?

EDIT: Flames of Europe website is active again and the rules can be downloaded there.

As an A&A game, yea it does suck pretty hard. As a stand alone WWII RTS it is not too shabby. It is one of the few RTS games that takes supply into consideration, and unit morale. I kinda like it. But if you are looking for a Axis and Allies type game you probablly will not like it.

When will the game be ready and where can we purchase it? Thanks.
