Axis and Allies Express: 2nd battle of El Alamein

Map version 1.0

Map yet be completed and going to be made to look nicer. No territory names yet

Map v1.1

@i:

are you going to make a reniforcment system or is the starting units on the board all you get?

No from the research I have done there appeared to be no reinforcements in the battle. However there will be air support. There will also be supply rules for advanced players.

@i:

okay thanks, i more question without reniforcments wont gemany/italy be likely to lose cause they will have alot less men?

Maybe but I will probably play test it and give the Axis specific victory conditions. Also remember the devils gardens because there will be specific rules which slow the allied advance and so the Germans/Italians should be able to take advantage of this

@The:

Map v1.1

Good job Fox… This is really cool. But is there a reason for the division markers? Is that part of the setup, or…?

Thanks the Territory lines need to be edited so they look nicer. The divisions are there because that is where they initially started and the initial map I got of the net has them on it.

BTW here is the link for the thread about ABattlemap

Also if you want to get the G40 map go to the G40 forum and go into the thread Func’s G40 module

I have removed the road and the railway from the map do you think this is a good idea? Historically i could find no use for it except that it was just there.

@Pvt.Ryan:

Fox what program did you use for this? I’m curious cause it looks like paint.

I am using paint.net because I don’t have a mac otherwise I would probably use there version because I think it is better. I am thinking of redoing the map territories so I might create v2.0 soon

V1.3 Map

Are there going to be any values of each territory or are you going to have a different kind of rule?

I plan on not having reinforcements unless I fell for gameplay reasons it is absolutely necessary so there probably won’t be territory values. However I may make 2 versions of this (one historic and one with reinforcement etc. as another one)

The victory conditions will probably be

Allies control x number of territories or kill all axis units on the game board
Axis survive to turn y

x and y will be edited after play testing

V2.0 is coming along nicely should be finished in the next couple of days and then I will begin working on initial set ups and rules.

I like what Spartan and Croesus have done with the rules and probably will do something similar

Nearly finished unit numbers

For allies

26 inf, 14 tank, 7 anti tank, 9 art, 6 mech

Greeks: 1 inf
Aus: 3 inf 1 tank
Ind: 2 inf 2 anti tank
NZ: 2 inf
SA: 2 inf
Free French: 1 inf
Uk: 15 inf,13 tank, 5 anti tank, 9art, 6 mech

Wondering should I combine NZ,Aus,Ind,SA,Greece, Free French as Minor allies and make it UK and her Allies VS Italy and Germany

Axis: 16 inf, 2 mech, 7 tank, 5 anti tank, 6 art

Haven’t split into Italy and Germany yet also haven’t figured out the air units

Also splitting units into the divisions for starting locations
