2nd Edition, WWII: Struggle for Europe and Asia

@all-encompassing-goose

Crazy!

You have some of the most interesting ideas on this forum.

I would only have the two boards fighting each other change and the part where the boards don’t wrap around, but not the Panama Canal or national objective rules-just a few questions and recommendations:

So I assume that West India is given back to UK Europe, and Western Canada is given back to UK Pacific-is that right? Thank you!

Is there a capital for the Soviet Far Eastern territories?

You might need to make a new map, as the proportions on the map do not allow for your idea to work effectively, unless they are already explained before playing, but that might be tough, especially with the sea zones.

For national objectives, change all references for the respective powers from Allies or Axis to the respective map alliance (of course, this means Japan get all their national objectives, but it also means that Italy and Germany get most of their national objectives as well).

Finally, all Soviet national objectives should be given to the Europe side (how the Soviets will get their Berlin national objective is if they liberate it, there is still the first time rule), and all Pacific related national objectives should go to the US Pacific, and all Europe related national objectives should go to Europe US. This assumes that all national objectives are for the global version. The 10 IPCs for the US control Eastern, Central, and Western United States is split evenly between US Europe and Pacific

@Midnight_Reaper Thank you so much! I have all the pieces I need. I’ve been curious about this for years.

If any A&A players have Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, then go onto Azeroth(USA east) add ghr3 to your friends list.  Message me and I can host this exciting variant!

I was wondering if anyone has alternate set ups using the 2nd 1942 board.

Like a 1940, 41, 43, ect….  Thanks.

I have the global 1939 map and I dont really like the 1940 global map so I was looking for alternate sey ups usuing the 1942 board.

Imperious Leader, thank you for the info. I will keep an eye on HBC and purchase the game when published.

I have it, but am holding onto it for further playtesting on the set-ups.

Europe is being slightly changed in terms of the map, and there will be some minor additions to the rules.  These changes will probably be part of the map/rule package I am looking into producing.  Pacific would be released this way as well if all falls together.

Cheers

@Imperious:

its on his site. look it up.

Here is one of the threads on the subject.

Thanks.  I’ve been reading the site a lot, but this thread is great.  Again, thank you.

It’s amazing how players like Krieghund, Adlertag, and Imperious Leader got to help shape the AA50 game.  If it were me, I’d be really proud of that.  I’m really glad someone was pushing for Italy in the game.  IMO it was one of those “About Time!” decisions.

i’ve seen AAP and AAE still on shelves of the local hobby, game and comic stores in the area, might not hurt to call around to those either…
