If axis conquer moscow is not a victory?

@taamvan:

unusual?  World hotspots for AxA interest;

South/Central England (The old “Games Workshop” Domain)

Belgium and North Germany  (aka Rooting for The Other Team)

Eastern Dominion of Inland Canadia (The Cliffside Bunka)

Kansas City, Kansas, Leavenworth, KS Warrensburg MO (Team KC: Bold Cold Rolls)

The very shallow south, eg. Tennessee/Ohio (The Battle of Middle TN and Smorey Swamp)

Old TSR country with Long winters "The Lake states MI WI MN"  (Snowed In)

You totally missed a very major hotspot… the deep South… namely Pensacola Florida… though I don’t know if you can consider one guy who plays a “hotspot”.

the allies cannot win with russia so heavily crushed. The gain in IPC’s for both the axis countries should ensure victory. As germany, take the rest of russia in order to close that theater, even if you lose another West europe germany. After closing that front, focus entirely on GB and take back Europe. You should be able to do this with the gain of IPC’s. Build your navy and keep using the economy to your advantage. Obviously you have more IPC’s than britain, which means you should be able to slowly overrun them. As japan, a navy would serve well to repulse the Americans. BUT make sure you don’t lose japan. So before you build a navy, make sure you have adequate defense on your mainland, and make sure the americans can’t land in Asia (screw Australia, you can take that back, not important) Once you are secure from landings. Use your IPC’s you took from Russia and the Middle east to build a navy that can cleanse your waters. With Both axis focusing on a Navy, you will be able to take the war to their doorstep by giving yourself an offensive fleet that can land troops onto the American continents while forcing the allies to play defensively

I’m pretty sure it’s allies biased

I think they should have really looked at something like 1812 the invasion of canada to see how you can stream line something but still keep the theme/personality of the conflict.

So long as the white-house gets burned down, I’m game.

ironically neither the columbia games or academy games version of the war involved that territory .

Curious if either of those games were designed by Canadians or Brits. Surely if they were there would be a DC and a token for a flaming White House.

As to 41. My hard core group plays, at best, twice a month. I’m hoping to to play at least once a week with my kid with this new game.

academy games one is designed by canadians, columbia games has at least 1 american but gamma 2 games the original was a canadian company.

Having played both they play in less then 2 hours and the columbia games one can be finished in as quick as 30 minutes if the game goes sour for another player.  The key is that they are quick to set up and each tiny move is a month and after each year/winter you check for Victory points/conditions to declare a winner, I don’t know if that is possible with axis and allies/ww2 but I think they should have tinkered with the formula more to lower the playing time because 3hours on the short end is still a long time.

still, should have expanded soviet far east…

Victory conditions are: if you can get a new friend to play this shorter version, you win!

Actually, the first one to flip the board loses.

No really, first one to own 5 battleships on the board wins! Ha!

I could go all day …

The real answer is capitals, that’s all I’ll say for now.

@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.
