WW2 Path to Victory - Strategies

What I would like is a package of poker chips (compatible with existing A&A versions) to use with 1914. I find that there simply isn’t room on the board for all the different stacks for each army, especially on the crowded western front.

So I just give each nation a single stack of chips with the required infantry unit on top.

The system I use is:

grey/white = infantry
red = artillery
green - tanks
blue = fighters

Additional colours might be reserved for new units vis:

black = bombers
yellow = cavalry

A nice touch would be for each colour to be embossed with the appropriate unit type.

Equivalent pieces for ships aren’t as important but maybe double sided chips for naval units?

I created this old file a few years back for the classic 1977 AH classic.

I bought entire fleets in 1/6000 scale and had them professionally painted and mounted on counters. I have the files for this.

Also wanted to rework the totally ignored situation in China and added a few more bases. I have the files for this too ( not finished)

I will take pictures of a gaming session and post latter.

This game is not far from Axis and Allies ( 6 are hits, then re-roll for damage points)

Here is a look at the map ( almost done)

Hey 12doze12,
Here is a little sample pic I took when I first made some of these roundels.  I was using the smaller image roundels at the time.

Those look really good in the map but they are a bit weird compared to the other nation roundels maybe because of the color

When you start the game, select “Game Options” on the left side of the menu to find the “Territory Turn Limit” option.  I’ve also always played with a house rule of ‘no tech’ because it I feel it introduces too much influence on a few technology roles.  I think your strategy is sound, we just play different games :)

As an aside, I do like the technology development that Global Conflict in this forum introduced.

Great thought! I will play test!

Just had another thought, if you wanted to eliminate dice, you could setup a rock/paper/scissors type game using those Units

Infantry defeat fighters/tanks, lose to artillery/bombers
Tanks defeat artillery, or other tanks
Fighters defeat bombers/tanks but lose to infantry/artillery (imbedded aa guns)

That type of concept anyways.  It would take some thinking through , more than this post from my cellphone haha but would be possible!

that sounds okay, we could just take over those canadian losers whenever we wanted anyway, so it could work. j/k j/k
