Extra pieces needed to make this realistically playable

Well I bought some pieces from HBG. Bought more than I needed but thats mostly because I love the ottoman color of troops haha.

Knock out Italy first and then focus on taking Russia while defending against the allies west. its a fun strategy.

Right now you have 3 fronts west east and South, the problem with going west is even after Paris you still have to worry about landing and guess what? You make yourself closer to them.

The easier strategies are Russia and italy. If you go Paris you need AH with you and that means letting Russia getting a bit close to AH capital and east Germany. You need to buy and send the maximum amount of units you can to taking Paris, you are all in.

FYI, HBG has a few sets of chips up for purchase. They appear to be going quick!

I did not even know you could get additional chips or playing pieces other than from third parties @_@.

I don´t need a strategyguide for the Allies ,because they win all the times.

What I really need is some input for playing the Central Powers especially Austria and the Ottomans.

One could get a rules download, get different colored pieces that look similar from other AAA games and hand them out as tryout games to newbies with excellent map, piece containers, game box and odd looking but functional pieces.  If one is feeling benevolent, throw in some dice. :)

@toblerone77:

Small packs of sculpts packaged like minis for larver scale games would be cheap to produce and sell very well. Expanding into small skirmish type battle maps and expansions would be a gold mine for WOTC.

and its not like they haven’t done anything like this before (d-day, battle of the bulge)

they should make and release another collectors edition game (like anniversary) that is absolute top quality in every way, with more than enough pieces,
multiple rule sets(beginner - advanced), multiple setups for different years
no crappy cardboard chits, some form of IPC, some form of marshaling cards etc etc
just jack up the price, il buy it ;)
Axis and Allies Global 1939

could even just re-release G40 again, but in a collectors form as one single game. (with the new 42 setup)
4 solid large map pieces instead of the fold outs we get now…

I get what you’re saying. But if they sold packs of minis or boosters and threw in some playing card sized rules or something they would sell. Small packs of vehicles and the like would be a gold mine and cost far less to produce than A&A minis. Frankly had they made those in the same scale as traditional A&A pieces they would probably sell better. They could even call it Axis And Allies Tactics or something.

I don’t know why Larry doesn’t do an expansion pack for A&A. Better Tech chart, Tech Units, set-up changes for each year, NA for each nation there’s so much they could do with 1 expansion it’s insane.
