Axis & Allies Typhoon

@thrasher1 Maybe it is time for me to thank some people. The people who came before me… All the guys (and maybe girls) at game magazines who published Axis and Allies (and Fortress America and Shogun related stuff). I never got one of these magazines myself however.
But for now: a big shout-out to these pre-internet guys! If anyone from you is here on this forum: please send me a message if you want.

I love the aircraft stands. This would be fun to use even in a regular A&A game.

So for anyone who’s played E&W, what did you like about the game?

For me, what it comes down to is managing equipment. Like, it’s very much an IPM-style game, so keeping your tanks and aircraft safe while at the same time exerting force as effectively as possible, is the whole puzzle of E&W. The early attacks made by the Soviets are usually about reducing the number of front lines they have to fight on, but also destroying NATO’s equipment (particularly transports, but also armor and fighters.)

Attached is the latest version of AAG41 w/ Axis & Allied Minors.

I know coachofmany/Tigerman77 & Ozeta have there own versions running now…mine is not meant to override but is just an update of a version i’ve posted over the years.

It plays off the AAG40 boards and is based off Alpha2 rule base; NO’s have been modified to take into account the timeframe and a NA or two have been added to each nation.

Essentially, the game adds Romania, Finland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Vichy France for the Axis and Canada, African Colonies, Free French and a more separated UK Pacific for the Allies.  It also establishes “Major Neutrals:” Spain as Pro Axis; Sweden and Turkey as “major” strict neutrals.

There are also some modified rules allowing for powers to attack on the same turn, etc.

I have found it to be a “simple” upgrade and fairly balanced (played 5 games so far with 2 Axis wins and 3 Allied wins).

I have used units from historicalboardgaming.com and will eventually add the FMG units.  I’ll post some pics later.

@Conquistador:

Hi! Im newbie in this forum but i have been reading for a long time. I have discouraged to post because I understand reading english well but I write it very badly. I’m from Barcelona and my languages are Spanish and Catalan   :-)

I like A&A a lot but in Spain there are not much tradition of board games and my A&A is obtained in english and of import in a specialist shop.

I have made a reprint of the board and I used a map made by Imperious Leader (thank to you for all your work!!!) but I also translated to Spanish all the locations and put the initial troops in it. I want to offer my version of the map to all the comunity and I also offer my help to Imperious Leader in any of the projects he always have in hands.

@Toonster:

The rules for World at War says the following about an Axis IPC win:

“Germany and Japan win whenever their combined IPC total is 20 IPCs higher than all of the Allies combined.”

Does this mean directly after Japan has finished his turn, implying Russia and US cannot fight back?

Toonster

I assume (as in orig. A&A), that the Axis must maintain the IPC total at the end on one complete round of play (meaning every player has had a turn).

Hi.
Does-it exist a variant of A&A for ancient warfare ? (with Romans, Greeks…) ?
