North Quabbin Axis & Allies: Global 1940

@baron-Münchhausen

Thanks for telling me. I’ll try it sometime.

here is some statistic on what people bid in bm306-03.PNG

Global 1940, No. 22 Game Report:

Players:
Axis: Traesko
Allies: The Captain

Early 1940 to Late 1942:
Germany:
Mass Production of U-Boat units as well as Destroyer units and a Heavy Battleship unit to rule the Atlantic and the Med.
Gradually building up 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Waffen-SS Armies as well as 1st and 2nd Panzer Armies.

Germany & Italy attacked the Soviet Union - in Late 1942…

Soviet Union:
Since Germany and Italy did not attack until Late 1942, the Soviets were building up their defences on a massive scale.
Deep minefields, Soviet Guard Infantry units, Soviet Army Corps - and Red Army Conscription Infantry units were prepared in well defended positions all over the Eastern Front.

Japan:
Japan were fighting deep inside China - and by Late 1942 the last Chinese units were eliminated.
By then, the very large Japanese Army and Air Force were lined up in China along the Soviet frontier.

United States:
The US Navy had to prepare for the coming battles in the Atlantic against an overwhelming German Kriegsmarine.

In the Pacific Ocean US troops and air force reinforced the Philippines - and by Late 1942 USA declared War on Japan - and US Marines captured Caroline Islands.

United Kingdom:
British forces in Asia were reduced in numbers due to an effort in the Atlantic where the UK Navy had to deal with the German Kriegsmarine.

In Africa, the British fought against Italian units in North Africa - and against German troops that were transported by sea to the West coast of Africa where they landed unopposed…

Early 1943 & Late 1943:
In Early 1943, the German Army was reinforced on the Eastern Front - but the Soviet resistance was hard to overcome.

Japan attacked the Soviets in Early 1943 with a massive Army - but there were no reinforcements on the way to support this offensive.

The Soviets launched counteroffensives on the Eastern Front - and against the Japanese invaders.

By Late 1943 the Japanese invaders from China had been eliminated - and strong Soviet units had pushed the remaining Japanese units back into Chinese territories.
Only the Soviet Far East territories were under Japanese control at this point.

By the end of Late 1943, US and British troops had eliminated the last German units in Africa.

The Allied Navies in the Pacific surronded sea zone 6 (Japan) to prevent the Japanese Navy from launching an attack in Early 1944.
This was succesful in order to buy time for the US Navy to reorganize and build up for a counter attack against the Japanese Navy in Late 1944 and Early 1945.

At the beginning of Early 1944 the Military and Economic situation was hopeless for the Axis.

The Axis surrendered in Early 1944.

@all-encompassing-goose

I think this a great idea-I just think it’s too complicated. Make it so the Bulgarian infantry can only move in three territories: Bulgaria, Greece, and Yugoslavia.

I have been reading about your house rules, and you should put them into one giant rulebook like The Captain. Keep up the good work!

@mrmumbo

Incase anyone is reading this. We are playing we’re on the fourth turn. I’m playing as the axis and have gone with operation Barbarossa as the Germans and a J1 attack with a pivot to Sydney.

If anyone else is interested please reach out. It’s lots of fun.

@Charles:

If you want to have the full experience, also use this neutral expansion ruleset along with the new powers:

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=38615.msg%msg_id%

All playtests of this addition of 11 powers used these new neutral rules, and I definitely recommend you play these two house rules together.  It allows for fun things like South Africa invading Portuguese colonies, Bulgaria and Italy invading Turkey etc.

We are currently working on implementing the 20-power ruleset for other Global setups.  If you would like to play this add-on in a Pacific/Europe solo game, I can post the theater rulesets on request.

Charles De Gaulle, has your group worked on any other setups recently besides 20 powers in 1940?  I am formally putting in a request (or fan vote) for 1936 with with 20 powers.  Maybe some of the smaller countries that weren’t conquered by Germany yet could act as pro-allied neutrals.  I just think 20 powers would work well from an early starting point.  More variables to “rewrite” history to some extent.  Anyways thanks for your efforts.

Me and my friends have gotten really into AA again and me being an imaginative guy ive decided to combine my favorite games into one. Risk 2210 meets AA 1940. Too long some might say and id say you dont have 3 day weekends and no social life lol.

Heres the project.
2 maps redesigned for the future one of earth one of the far off world of Stratax with the moon thrown in.
6 factions 3v3 with a possible 7th.
Pieces from halo wars risk and star craft risk with 2210 and aa filling the gaps for naval and air
Commander units from rusk 2210
2 decks of command cards one for axis and one for Allied
Tokens for harsh weather, new buildings, and nuclear devastation.
And a professionally done rule book.

Im really big on professional customization. This project will take me weeks to finish but ive got a pretty good idea on how everything will play out and ill ne sharing the files with all of you.

The Factions are in progess but heres what im thinking.
Team Turn Order:
1. Slavic Syndicate
2. European Coalition
3. Peoples Liberation Army
4. United Nations Defense Forces
5. Free Islamic Federation
6. Confederate States of the Americas
7. Stratax Remnant (Aliens)

History of 2199 AD
Alliance: War Never Changes is a game of global domination and beyond. The powers of good vs evil battle for control of territories across the galaxy. The year is 2199 AD and new age is dawning on humanity and with it came strife and hardship. Alliances were formed ensuing common interests fuel, and power are in short supply and the powers struggle over total control of humanity’s remaining fuel reserves. An alien technology discovered deep underground allows for instantaneous travel to another world dubed Stratax by the archeological teams sent to investigate this new world. Stratax is earth-like, rich with new fuel sources and economic potential. Five years after the discovery, the nations of earth had quickly learned to exploit this new technology and began colonizing Stratax. Whoever controls Stratax controls the future of humanity. Choose your side, choose your faction, and determine the fate of humanity.

Command Card Rules:
All players are restricted to buying command cards from their teams respected decks. The two decks are Axis Command and Allied Command. Cards are purchased during the “Purchase Command Cards” phase for 3 Economic Development Credits a piece. A player may purchase as many command cards as they desire during this phase. Each card has various phases it can be played in but there is no limit to the number of command cards a player can activate during a round. To activate a command card simply pay the EDC activation cost and place face up for all players to see. Once the card has been completed place it into the discard pile, unless otherwise noted. If all command cards have been used reshuffle the discard pile and use again.

Weather Fronts
At the beginning of each round spin the weather dial for each weather front on the board. Move the weather front tokens onto the corresponding territory as shown on the dial. Place a green chip on the weather front token if the movement on the dial is shown as green or a red chip if the movement is shown as red, if no color is indicated the weather is neutral. Red weather fronts indicate severe storms and prevent movement into or out of territories. If any units are located on a red marked storm front roll one d6. On a roll of 1 the units stationed there take a hit and a casualty is selected by the owner. Green weather fronts indicate favorable weather and increase all unit movement through them by +1. Weather fronts without a color marker are considered neutral or inconsequential. They do not alter the territory in any way.

Everything is still in alpha and subject to change for balance and style changes.

@KimRYoung:

How about making Sicily important!!

One of the major campaigns of the war is simply not a part of this game whatsoever. It should either be worth some IPCs or at least of value as an NO to the allies. Pretty ridiculeous that there is no reason to invade an island that was of historic importance.

same could be said for the Solomons too!

Kim

Couldn’t agree more +1
