Axis & Allies type Civil War game???

@FranceNeedsMorePower

It’s not Axis and Allies but uses similar mechanics.

Edit
Here’s a list of all triplea maps. Might be something in there. The above Global War isn’t available.

@the-captain Oh damn! I never read the book, but I did see the HBO flick with Rutgar Hauer in the mid 90s hehe. It had a good set up in the intro, playing the film reels, but with an alternative narration. Failed D-Day as the premise right? And then everything going to hell after. Seems like a potentially interesting scenario. Like that one and the Man in the High Castle both work a similar “what if” angle. I always thought A&A in 1942 was a bit like ‘what if Japan had won at Midway’, cause like Charlton Heston and Henry Fonda couldn’t get the job done, and that explains why Japan is all Globe trotting in the endgame lol. That would be like my head cannon to explain what’s happening on J1 in 1942.2.

For a PvP game you never really get the chance to see it unfold, but in SP vs the AI in tripleA, the endgame of virtually every WW2 map can go like Alexa Davalos straight through the portal into Invasion USA lol. Like that boardgame Amerika right, but with a Global map instead of just North America I guess? Seems like it could be cool!

Here are some of my pics from my custom Axis and Allies map for a higher IPC game with some zone changes. I wanted to change up the Pacific snce I’ve always thought that the battles between the USA and Japan were always way too early and that the USA and Japan were too close to each other.
I;m not completely done, and I drew it freehand so sorry if it is not pretty, but there you have it. IMG_20200401_121009.jpg

I think you should add cavalry because the British had a cavalry division at the start of the war. Also the ANZAC’s had cavalry divisions even though the did not use them in Gallopoli and will you include rules about terrain such as the hills in turkey that meant the ANZAC infantry became fodder. Also will there be sea units used for transportation? You could also create a tech that meant Art could fire poison rounds that decreased Inf def and also killed halve of Inf stack.

@FieldMarshalGames:

$50 for a page of cardboard tokens!?!?!

That’s because they are OOP and collector’s items, just like that Honus Wagner baseball card.

As an A&A game, yea it does suck pretty hard. As a stand alone WWII RTS it is not too shabby. It is one of the few RTS games that takes supply into consideration, and unit morale. I kinda like it. But if you are looking for a Axis and Allies type game you probablly will not like it.

Hello I am looking for anyone interested in testing out a new Axis & Allies variant. However at this time I am only interested in those who own the Xeno Games expansion set “The World at War 1939” because some of those units are needed to play this variant.

This version called Advanced Axis & Allies has been 2 years in development and 2 years of game tests. It is now ready for public testing to work out remaining rule bugs. Anyone wanting to help out and willing to give feedback can email me at AAAgamemaster@hotmail.com or respond to this post.

I will send everyone interested the rules on August 10th the public release.
