Axis and Allies Global Second Edition - 1936 or 1937 Setup?

Hi all!

I’m new to the game, having lucked out on a bargain War at Sea Starter set!
So that’s my fleet extent right now, though if there are any players around Portsmouth to Southampton who want to play, Im more than happy to expand my fleets!

My ‘Weekend’ is actually Wednesday and Thursday, so free anytime on those days. I work unsociable hours and so would be available for late night/early morning combats on any day really… If anyone else is about at 1am…
However, as I say, anytime Weds/Thurs.

If there is a more popular version than War at Sea, Im happy to give those a try. Euro theater '44 seems oft talked about… And my interests are primarily ww2, naval and armoured warfare. Ill give anything a go though!

I also have Battle of Britain by PSC games, which Ive never played as everyone I know just sees the rules and says’ lets just play Dday Dice or War at Sea shall we? ’

Though I realise this is the Axis vAllies forum, just letting folk know what I have to play with!

(Also everyone plays 40k…all my local game clubs are friendly as anything, and people will drop their Space Marines for some ww2 Naval Tactical gaming… But haven’t found any people that would make it worth me buying a full on Battlefleet yet!

So if you are in these areas/times or know of any clubs Ive missed, let me know.

Thanks all, and game on!

Also slowly working on making my own pieces and designs for my new resin printer. I’m going to open up an online store for new pieces, boards, rules, and other items in the near future.

Hello, I have been scrolling threw the HBG website and have found many interesting custom units with either no rules, or a rules pdf that is no longer available. I had a few ideas, and I would love feedback/more ideas.

Mercenary’s - 1IPC/turn/infantry, max 3. This could be cool feature if you need temporary forces in a certain area you could hire mercenarys for 2-3 turns, but if you just left them there it would cost you way more money then they are worth.

Assassins - Infantry that cost 5 IPC, get a target select on 1 on a D12 against a commander (Commanders expansion set)

Military Police - I was thinking they could increase rail transport, and decrease partisan activity. or they could allow transit on damaged rail.

I would love feedback, and more ideas.

@GeneralHandGrenade said in British attack on Belgium:
There will always be a video…except if there are zombies involved.

Nnnnnooooo…

That’s a pretty glorious map!
Gotta dig those red Brits, the original design has a certain appeal to it. Great find!  :-D

Not quite the same as Axis & Allies but there is “1812; Invasion of Canada”, which is a semi card driven war game. It uses wooden blocks but you could substitute these with “Viktory” game pieces or other miniatures. The game is worth checking out on its own merits, with or without miniatures.

Yes CWO (one of our residents history buffs  :-)) has some good points. What would you do if you were Japan? Invade China or pool resources for attacking ANZAC, UK, Russia, or even the US! All these options are open to you!

OK when I try it Ill post what happend
