@UN:
The German invasion of Western Europe in 1940. Benelux, Britain, France, and Germany will be the main powers, and as a special rule, German units, representing Italy, can attack late in the game if the appropiate conditions come up.
I added France to the list since I think many would like to see it
Why would you do another game in the French area. Like there’s been two already.
@SAS:
Battle of the Atlantic would be cool I think. I’m imagining hordes of German subs pitted against UK destroyers with US support all along the four continents bordering the Atlantic. It could even perhaps include Canada. :wink:
Create commercial ship pieces, add in sub pens/naval ports, figure in the air support, with battles around the sea ports off the European coast, the African colonies, and North and South America. Victory could be based off of number of convoy ships sunk vs. successfully escorted to UK, or even a Sea Lion takeover. 8-)
I really, really, really like your idea for the first, one, but the what color would they be!
Also I don’t think there shouldn’t be one in south east Asia, when there’s already one in Pacific same goes with the East Front.

That makes no sense.

I wouldn’t and I met shouldn’t I’ll fix that.
I think Stalingrad would be awesome.
However, as the Americans didn’t participate in that battle I don’t think WOTC will bother with it.

I also think because Russia never had a spin-off and the US has been in all of the Axis and Allies games, I think that should happen, and that would be fun.
A Mediterranean Theater game would be great. It makes me chuckle when I look at Revised and see no Sicily, let alone smaller islands such as Sardinia, Corsica, and Cyprus. A Mediterranean game would allow so much more depth and actually utilize important UK possessions in the Med.

dunno, I don’t like the idea of a naval game.
Thing is, this wouldn’t have to be exclusively a naval game. Large North Africa land campaigns, plus air power, plus a melting pot of convoys, ships, and planes duking it out in the sea.
Kursk and El-Alamein are my picks. These games would use a modfied version of the BOTB rules.
Stalingrad would be a hard one to do since it lasted forever. Rules similar too Gaudacanal would have to be used.
I also really like the Battle of France idea, particularly if it came with new French and German tank molds.
I dont like the mini-front ideas. It would just blowup sections of the current game but not any of the tactical or opertional considerations that a battle/campaign focused game would have.
Also how about a good computer version of A&A with online multiplayer and modding tools.
Good online A&A? Try Triplea
Good online A&A? Try Triplea
I wouldnt call Triplea good, its so basic. The graphics are 2d and there is no music. The controls and interface could be better too. There is a difference between functional and good. The AI is terrible aswell if you want to play against bots. Playing triplea dosnt make me feel like I am commanding a nation at war like the board game does. It should have a more WW2 atmosphere and not just the raw mechanics of A&A.
Battle of the Atlantic would be neato. But would we visit the river plate? When would it start? What kind of victory conditions are we looking at?

I couldnt agree more!! I used to love playing the orignal A&A pc game. When Pacific and Europe came out years ago I was waiting for a pc game to follow. I think with the new Europe and Pacific games out it would awesome to see a Global PC game for them like the original one.
I know what you are saying about music and ‘feel’ of playing a WW2 game, and the AI isn’t so good- but the AI isn’t good in ANY strategy game of this scope. You play Triplea to play online against real people. I’ve played 3v3 AA50 on there and its a blast. Want music? Play your own mp3s.
The old A&A PC game was very basic- I could never play classic again. “where are my Destroyers, Artillery?” “Why do my tanks defend on a 2?” "Battleships are one hit?’

River Plate? As in, you are questioning whether the game would extend to the South American coast? Or are you just looking for some River Plate Battle incorporated into it. River Plate was way too small to bother with in my opinion… I mean, perhaps they’d have a ship or two down there, but I doubt there would be a one-to-one representation of ships… it’s just way too small.
The Battle of Monte Cassino

There are plenty of strategy games with better AI than triplea, and for games that are much more complicated, Civilization for example. The graphics and interface are ugly, and i shouldn’t have to navigate between the game I am playing and the itunes window too listen to music in my game. Triplea is functional for playing raw A&A online. Nothing about it goes beyond the mechanics of the board game, its not good.
The old PC A&A also had marines which i miss.
