Napoleonic Wars Axis & Allies Style Game

Using the 1942 Second Edition map I made a smaller version of Axis and Allies Pacific. All German territories were made neutral. Similarly, most British, Soviet, and American territories in Europe were made neutral (with exceptions). No income may be collected from any of these territories and they may not be crossed in any way.

Britain and America’s capitals on the Europe side of the board were left open and controlled by their respective powers. This means that even if Western United States and/or India were captured, the US and/or the UK still collect income and may still build units. The US and UK still collect income from these “European” territories.

The Soviet Union still has a turn and is at war with Japan. However, they may not collect income or build units (treat them as if their capital has fallen). The Soviet Far Eastern units may behave as normal. It is recommended that the Soviet player control another Allied power.

To win, the Allies first need to capture Tokyo. If, by the end of the next Japanese turn, the Allies still control Tokyo, they win. Japan needs to capture 5 victory cities (they start with 3) and hold it until the next American turn to win the game.

All other rules from 1942 Second Edition stay the same.

Let me know if you would like to play this version with me.

The combat system is quite different from A&A, so it would be difficult to replace cards with extra pieces directly. Dice work differently from A&A as well.

Cards are used throughout the game sequence; for additional movement, combat bonuses, special actions and reinforcements. Building combos of cards on your hand is part of the strategic element in the game.

All 170 cards in the game have authentic pictures.

there wont be much money in this game. i actually like that better makes a little more cotios(sp?) of loses.

Thanks IL!  :-D

My game group and I have been looking for a way to mix up the game types for a while

Any other suggestions

BTW: DOOGIE HOUSER MD :mrgreen:

yah, with three diffrent idealogies competing for contol, that would be cool, but i was going for a game that was a little less black and white

leaders of arab countires are more often allied with western powers than with Islam, Russia and China are not on the best terms either, and in this game i am going to make it possible for Russia and China to have full scale war with each other. Also its not like the US, UK, and France are able to agree on eyerthing either. I think it is best if they are seperate powers.

sure their will still be too sides, NATO, headed by the US, and the Warsaw Pact, headed by the Soveits. but the alliances are not set.
In fact at the start of the game all countries should still be at peace. each power can either buy NATO or WARSAW Pact vicotry points with 10 IPCs, of course doing that lowers the effectiveness of their armies the next turn, and so should only do this when they are not expecting attack

THe US and USSR are the only countries that start out active, If  US/UK/France are attack all of those countries can become active, of course I am going to have diplomacy rolling that can weaken or change the NATO alliance

China, and India are different. You can gain control of them diplomaticly or you can attack them to makes them active. if you attack one, the other becomes contoled by your alliance

The diplomacy thing will be clearer later, I also might make diffrent national objectives for each contry so that when you have more than two players, diplomacy can be represented by people instead of dice rolls.

crud… That map was sweet, and the project idea was going somewhere…

Hello…

I have the W@W board game; however, I unfortunately haven’t been able to muster up a group of friends to play it yet – although, I have reviewed the rules a bit. Also, I am currently in the process of playing my first PBEM game (A&A), so I’m still learning the ropes a lil’ bit. I’m in if I won’t slow up things any and of course if additional players are still needed.
