Axis & Allies: Commanders Expansion

I have made an expansion for the game adding commanders. Except for a few special abilities, everything is based around a re-roll system.

New features

Quick Guide:

All commanders have certain amount of Power. Power represents how many re-rolls that can be used per battle. A unit can only re-roll once per combat round. Abilities affect this.

Each nation can only use 3 commanders in both offensive and defensive battles each game round.

Final note:

This is a work in progress and therefore subject to change. Critique is very much appreciated. This version is not properly gametested.

You, sir, are an inspiration.

Given time, I think I’ll “sincerely flatter” your works.

Thanks LHoffman,

Your appreciation is my inspiration… because I refuse to use a sheet of glass, my research has lead me to a material called styrene (google it) which is a type of plastic sheet that can be directly printed on. All indications point to this method being the last alternative to glass and although it cost around $240, it looks to be my best option. Even after flushing $300 so far in a crappy print, and installation complications, I’m happy with this new direction if it turns out the way I’ve been told it will. Basically it’s flexible plastic, so it should lie flat without air pockets getting trapped, and because it doesn’t get laminated, the colors should be slightly brighter. If it is sensitive to scratching than there is a clear film sheet by 3M I can look into, that’s where I’m at right now.
