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

@SuperbattleshipYamato

In retrospect, I realized that the Mongolian rule actually worked as intended. In addition to deactivating whenever a Japanese territory bordering China is attacked, it also applies whenever the Soviets attack Korea, as happened here.

The fact that Japan starts out at war with ANZAC and the Dutch but not the UK remains an issue.

@SuperbattleshipYamato I fixed it now! :) Should be good to go!

It looks highly unlikely that you’re going to post spam :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: so please share!

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.

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

– Personally I would like to discuss the distribution of nations.

5,5,6,6,5 distribution might not be the ideal numbers… I moved china up to regional and dutch and turkey into minors to facilitate more middle map and southern asia play.
I guess the main question is, would the selection be more balanced if it was 6,6,6,9 or 6,6,6,6,3 instead of having the odd numbers in major and regional, and if yes, what list would make gameplay sense, as well as somewhat historically correct in their potential of projected power.

to quote the list as per first post:

Major Powers:
US (+Asia)
Japan
Germany
Briton (+Africa)
Russia

Regional Powers:
Italy (+Africa)
France (+Africa, Asia)
India (Asia)
Anzac
China

Minor Nations:
Canada
South Africa (Annexed: Angola, Mozambique)
Finland
Hungary  (Annexed: Romania, Bulgaria)
Turkey
Dutch territories (Holland, Asia islands)

(active) Neutral Influences
Scandinavia (formed between Sweden and Norway)
Poland (Annexed: Baltic States)
Spain
Greece (Annexed: Yugoslavia)
Iran
Thailand (Formed between Siam, French Indochina, Saigon)

(Idle) Neutral Influences
Communist China
Mongolia
Brazil: South America
Chile: South America (formed between Chile, Peru, Columbia, Venezuela)
Argentina: South America (formed between Corrientes, Viedma, Santa Cruz)

Oil Conglomerates
Saudi Arabia (Formed between Medina, Riyadh, Rub Al Khali)

in order to maintain a semblance of balance on the board I would consider moving India into the major powers list, renaming it as the British empire (with no tie to briton of course)

This would even out the totals to 6,4,6,6,5  The only real draw back of this would be in larger games of 6+  the 7th, and 8th player would need extra balancing in order to compete (ie extra nation or something)

Alas thats why you use Imperious Leader free revised axis and allies map project! email me and ill send you the file. The miniatures are bitchin with some paint…you’ll see soon enough… Now you have something that will be with you for a lifetime of fun. Something that is permenant and sturdy is allways the best road and now you have that.
