It’s not Axis and Allies but uses similar mechanics.

Edit
Here’s a list of all triplea maps. Might be something in there. The above Global War isn’t available.

hey De Gaulle, who gets the ipcs for the conflict areas, like Korea and french Indochina. also theirs no setup for greater southern Germany. it would be nice as well if you included a list of the starting territories for each country. just a thought. like it a lot though!! keep it up

Hi. One thing I noted missing from your set-up: Angola and Mozambique were colonies of Portugal (as well as Portuguese Guinea) until 1974. They all had guerrilla independence movements starting on 1963, so you might want to give them some similar rules as Algeria.
-
Hmmm. You make a point. I want to include this because it is historical, but I just think the remoteness of the territories (Southern Africa), the number of African Infantry facing any force there, along with added complexity by including NATO fighting Africa, might be a hamper. Well, if NATO forces were allowed to only defend the territories of Mozambique and Angola, strictly defend with no attacks into any other parts of Africa, for 4 rounds like France, causing the war to end unless Africa is allied with one side or defeats NATO forces, I see this working. Alright, I will take it into consdieration and test the idea. Thanks Hobbes!

Very exciting. I like this idea very much. Are the Nuke rules coming? I really want to try this.
I’ve been working on a what if the USA and Russia just kept fighting each other after the defeat of Germany. I hope to post something soon.
I also have a crazy variant I’m working on where there can be random Zombie outbreaks during a regular A&A 1940 game. Kind of a tech upgrade gone bad idea. So if anyone is interested in either of those let me know and I will start a thread so as to not hi jack this thread.
Anyways. I really want to try this variant, so keep the rules coming. Thanks for your hard work!

Nuke rules have been posted along with most of the new rules. See previous page.

tried playing last night. we didnt like the nuke rules or the whole africa thing. both were a little hard to understand and kinda complicated. set up as pretty cool though.
-
Yes the game still nedds some polishing. I played last night as well and its a long game. I apoligize if the nuke rules and Africa were hard. I realized Africa might just have to be scrapped. Instead just make most of Africa as neutral. Thanks for playing the game though! Im glad some people are trying it! Could you give me some input for improvements?
-
sure. the one thing we noticed right away was that the nukes are only good for defense. example, in our game Germany, west Germany, Poland, japan, turkey, and i think Russia were all nuked. so for 2 turns Europe was a dead lock, and it left the US UK and France to start taking territory or get into position to take territory. as i said set up is good except Africa… make it mostly neutral. France and Britain are both economically weak so it is a problem since the USA is the only ally with sustainable income.
-
The Nuke attack in Europe is exactly what happened to me in both my games! Due to the large amount of forces present, no one wants to start anything for fear of being annihilated. I think Africa could be more handy if they were on a side, but overall they should remain neutral like you said. The income of Britain and France and Russsia was supposed to be fixed by giving them simple national objectives that compensate for their lack of income. But I have yet to make any except some I jotted down for my last game with my group. When I have time I will add some. I have a map Im working on that will fix income and enlarge teritories, but it still needs work and time. Thank you for the valuable input poloplayer! Sorry for the things you didnt like and Im glad you like the set up.

your welcome. if you want any tips, i know that dannyboy216 is also working on a cold war scenario that takes place in the 60s. maybe you could talk to him, his 1947 scenario was great. he does really good NOs. some people really like the amount of navy that both sides have. keep it up
