Axis & Allies 1941 First Preview

@Rescue55-joe I believe the “10 IPCs for each country” that you are referring to are actually the National Control Markers, which are used to track both conquered territories and national production levels. As barnee pointed out, IPCs are not physically provided, and the Rulebook instructs us to track them on paper, but any proxy (such as Monopoly money) will do. See page 7 of the Rulebook for details on both National Control Markers and IPCs.

In a nutshell, the National Production Track is used to chart your “income” using a National Control Marker. and every turn the “money” goes into your “bank account”, which is represented by IPCs, where it can be spent on new units (or saved for later).

I hope this helps.

I did watch it, thanks Wolf. Also the lego war movie you posted earlier, which lead to me watching some of the others - they are very well done. Am considering selling all my A&A and using the money to start a lego war collection ….

@HansOop:

I think I know the answer to my own question and the answer is I have no option but to engage in dice battle and to either keep battling or retreat back to where I came from.

Right, the purpose of the Combat Move Phase is to move into hostile territories to either initiate combat (against hostile units) or just capture the territory (in case there are no enemy combat units present).

Welcome to the forum  :-)

I just put my 1941 board and rulebook in my 1942 box, so I have both on me when I take them over a buddy’s house.

India should have been 2,agreed.

Blind luck always helps, with smaller map its much easier to reinforce Moscow with the RAF and as the allies don’t worry about the 2 IPC Africa and throw down attacks at western Europe and Berlin itself

Here’s a link to all of the photos of the game that I’ve taken except for a couple, which I’ll add soon. You’ve all of these already, but here they are all in one place.

If you’re lucky, I sometimes post the photos on Flikr before I post to the blog. This is especially true of the photos I take with my iPhone.

@Lozmoid:

The day we start getting cardboard counters for combat units will be the day most us stop buying A&A games!Â

It would also be a throwback to the original Nova Games version of A&A, which used flat counters.
