Axis and Allies Express Series

I would like to take Syria. Also im interested in a Russian-Japanese border skirmish but i already have to much on my plate. Also im having trouble finding good maps for hundred regiments and shanghai. Please PM me any useful maps u may find.

I already took Okinawa… It was my idea originally. I either posted that in Croesus or reloader-1’s topic page under variants if you want proof.  :lol:

@CWO:

@spartan:

So far current map claims are:

East Africa seems to be missing from the list.

your right

I’m already using Wake Island and Guam in my Japanese Empire conquest one

Ummm Im gonna drop the Chinese ones to take up some of these. I call Operation Market Garden. CWO i think you deserve a full mention and credit in the creators of this game. Without you half of this wouldn’t have been possible. Well it would but it wouldn’t have been as good.

Alright I have made a VERY ROUGH edition of my Syria&Lebanon Campaign. Most territories (excluding Iraqi territories, trans Jordon territories, and The Duck’s Bill) are named after cities found on the Syria map on the wiki page CWO found. I used Microsoft Paint to make it. I included few sea zones as sea battle was little use in the syrian campaign. However the player that controls the sea can use it to ferry troops around. The lines you see between territories are rails, rodes, and tracks (i guessed they meant paths). Because Syria is mainly desert these are used for movment. Im not totally sure how it will work but I havent focused on the rules much. Also I am dropping the Chinese campaigns (srry to those who got excited about them) and i will work on operation market garden. I prefer the European and African theaters.

alright ill start a new topic. also u said the list was updated. on here? i dont see many changes

Cool. youll need a bigger board though. How can u show the invasion of an entire country with just one territory? (well i guess they did do it with france  :lol:)

Awesome. So your keeping it to just one territory? Will german reinforcments be able to enter play from there?

Maybe there should be a child board set up for this so that it is easier to find all the maps.

or even better a stickied thread with links to all the treads. Actually I will make it.

I have a question about these “Express” games.  Are they going to be tactical level games like the A&A Miniatures type games?  Or are they more along the lines of A&A Battle of the Bulge, Guadalcanal and D-Day?

It depends on which mini game your talking about. Most will be like D-Day,Guadalcanal,and Battle of the Buldge. We dont currently know if there will be any tactical ones.

Ryan for the map I think you need to make the territories less rounded, and you’ll want to be able to distinguish the countries. I know you said it was rough but just some things to think about… I think youre right about the sea zones though, you dont need that many, theyre probably going to be mostly for look on the map  :mrgreen:
