Preview 5 is online: National Objectives

@Vostro19:

Hi there i just found my old Axis and allies Europe i don’t know if it is first or second edition but i googled it and i think have the first since there is no japan. But i opened it and started reading the game manual and in there it says i need something called a National production chart but i can’t find it in the box or anywhere else. So i was wondering if you could print it out somewhere on the internet.

Well, if it has a blue France, then it is Europe 1940. If France is a light brown, then it is the Original Europe (1999).

There are two versions of Europe 1940. If each country has its own colored anti-air guns, then it is second edition. First edition aa Guns are little cardboard tiles that are all the same color.

As for a national production chart, I am not sure how you get one, but it is easy to make your own. What it is for is tracking how much money a country is making. For example, If Germany lost all of its territory except Germany and West Germany, it’s income would be 10 (5+5), and have a German marker at 10 on the chart. All you do is use excel or something and create, say a 6x10 chart with the numbers 1-60 in order. Use the countries’ markers to track how much each makes.

It’s also possible that 2nd edition has the production chart on the board (the numbers at the top).

@z0m4d:

These are pretty sweet!  Any motivation to do one adjusted for the different national objectives in the 2nd edition?

I concur!  These are the best I’ve found and the NO board is fantastic!  I’d love to see these updated for the 2nd Ed.!  Exclamation point!

If France isn’t taken by turn 1 Germany is in trouble and the UK will thank you for leaving France intact.  Also the USA would collect all of South America if you hit a Netural nation like Turkey.  There are a lot of other holes in the plan…you assuming above average dice rolling which can’t be assumed. Your also assuming the Russian player is stupid and doesn’t figure out your plan and move to counter it. Because all Russia really has to do is hold on and wait for the USA to arrive to help. This tactic wouldn’t work on me as a USA player because I would be sitting in Rome turn 5 especially with Italy having no fleet in the med I would just park my fleet in the med and let you take pot shots at it with fighters(that would be fighters you wouldn’t be able to use to help take the other VC).

Krieghund -
Thanks for correcting my oversight!
WotC-
My bad! Sorry for the false accusation!
Thoes426 :evil:

That one is not a true NO of course, but it’s from part 3 of the preview by DJensen. Krieghund also confirmed it by saying it won’t be in the global game.

Yes, but with so much information overload I started doubting my own thoughts and ideas.

@Krieghund:

@GrayBlaZe:

Hey Keighund, got a question; Why could it not be considered to be up to a nine person global game instead of six.  I do understand that playing France, China or ANZAC will be very minor, however, it’s possible for nine people to draw straws and last three places got it get the minors.  Or am I missing somthing?  I’m assuming that it’s just listed as six because that is the max number that would be a good game to spread playing around equally so nobody is just totally eliminated fast with France or having to play limited China.  Is this correct?  Thanx……

You’ve already answered your own question:

@GrayBlaZe:

When they state the number of players, it is just a recomendation.  You could very well play with nine players except; France, China, & ANZAC would be quite boring, unless a newbe or child was playing with you, it would be good for them to play a minor country.  If you are playing with six then some player would play two counties, however, they are still considerd nine different armies; if you play two they don’t mix there income.  So it always be nine indiviual counties weither you play with nine people or two.

The “official” player mix listed in the rules is what we consider to be the best mix for optimal enjoyment of the game.  There’s nothing stopping you from changing that if you have more than six people who want to play.  I do think, however, that getting beyond six will definitely get into territory that could be at least somewhat boring for players of minor powers (ANZAC, China and France).  A seventh player playing all three wouldn’t be too bad, though.

Well id like to see Italy only able to take one at the start of the game, because taking both would be risky becuase they might not win both battles. And if they dont win either, the remaining units become those of an allied power….and then get to act before italy gets a chance to attack again.

@i:

hopfuly BD if there too small we’ll go insane tring to setit up!

You must use the same spellcheck that WOTC uses. :-D
