AAZ - Review and Thoughts (Work In Progress) [House Rules]

I’m axis allies’s foreign fan. And I bought axis allies anniversary 50. But, when I unbox, the inside boxes are a little breakage. So I want to repair them!

Is there axis allies anniversary 50 box(inside) art pdf file?

Slightly off-topic but I thought about the possibility of introducing these Zs to the not-official-but-close-enough-to-GameMaster-Series boardgame of Buck Rogers: Battle for the 25th Century…

These house rules are meant to make the game more realistic while staying as simple as possible.

Battleships cost 14 IPCs. They cost 1 IPC to repair.

Switzerland has an IPC value of 4.

The U.K. can only produce up to 4 units per turn in India. If India is captured by the Central Powers, the Central Powers cannot produce units there.

If a capital is captured, the IPCs are discarded and not taken by the capturing power.

Neutral territories that are not home territories still get units if invaded.

Sea units, except submarines, must end their movement when they enter a sea zone with enemy mines.

Units that retreat from a contested territory cannot move into another contested territory. They may move into any adjacent friendly territory.

There is a combat move and a non-combat move. During the combat move, units can move into neutral, contested, and enemy territories. The non-combat move comes after combat. During the non-combat move, units that did not move during the combat move and did not conduct combat can move into friendly territories. Land units can move an unlimited number of territories during the non-combat move within their original territories.

Optional Manpower Rule

Keep track of the infantry that are destroyed for each power. If a power has had 2x the number of their infantry destroyed as their starting IPC value (rounded up), they may only collect half of the total IPC value of their territories when they collect income (rounded up). If a power has had 4x the number of their infantry destroyed as their starting IPC value (rounded up), they may only collect the IPC value of their capital territory when they collect income.

Talking Technology here…

Air D.O.T.s:

Somebody already brought this up. This does technology imply that you may initiate (start) a combat without any land units on your side and then have that extra round of combat? Or does this technology only apply if you start combat while having land units present?

If it is the former (you can start combat with no land units on your side) then this technology seems to be rather powerful… What do others think? Any official word on this?

the “bag o zombies” are about 1/4" larger than AAZ zombies.

this creates a space problem in smaller territories.

Hello out there,

I am looking to add to my collection of Table Tactics pieces. I have collected a set or two of the normal Table Tactics A&A expansions (A&A Accessories, Central Power, New World Order, and the A&A and Risk expansion Risk 2042). What I am looking for now is harder to find.

I am looking to buy a few more sets of Table Tactics Central Powers. If your set looks like the picture below, that’s what I’m looking for:

I am also looking to buy sets of Table Tactics expansion expansions. Let me explain. Table Tactics made three sets of other sets of pieces in different colors for those playing with different games, such as Xeno Games The World at War and the Revised edition of Axis & Allies.

One set was called “More for Your World at War” and contained pieces from A&A Accessories and pieces from Central Powers in three colors corresponding to piece colors from The World at War. One set was called “More Units in More Colors” and contained pieces from New World Order and pieces from Risk 2042 in three colors corresponding to piece colors from The World at War. One set was called “New Edition Colors” and contained pieces from all four of the Table Tactics expansions, corresponding to piece colors from A&A, Revised.

The picture below should help explain things. If you have Table Tactics pieces in colors from the top row of that picture, that you would like to sell, please send me a PM. If you have Table Tactics pieces in colors from the bottom row of that picture, if they are pieces from Central Powers, that you would like to sell, please send me a PM.

And that’s what I’d like to buy, in the new year.

Edit: two small clarifications

@CWO-Marc
Thanks for your thoughts. I intend to revise the top posts for this and the other two “expansion posts” sometime this weekend, I now have some food for thought.

Thanks again!

@Midnight_Reaper There was a group of pieces made by pewtercraft each had their rules with them for use with axis and allies from that time period of MB. not sure if the rules can be found anymore and pewtercraft has been done for a while. The ones I currently have.

Fortresses
Heavy artillery
Anti tank guns
Mechanized infintry (this is in game now)
Pt Boats
Troop Trains (versions of this are now in game)
AAA/At guns
Scorched earth ruins
Pocket battleships

Some of the ideas are good if they are tweaked a bit.
