Axis American Cold War Final Copy

Update 8th February 2026: Total number of recorded Axis & Allies games in 2026 played by The Captain: 3

2026: Axis & Allies Global 1940:

0 Defeats (Allies) 0 Defeats (Axis) 2 Victories (Allies) 1 Victory (Axis)

For me, it’s getting more historical accurate play of nations in WWII that actually fought. I find it very strange that Vichy France and Co-Belligerent Italy isn’t in the game, obviously it is hard to do this.

I would give America Shipyards and Russia Improved Artillery. I really don’t think Germany or Japan need anything. They have so many territories, which equates to too much income. It should be easier for the Allies and I worry it will not be.

There are a lot of tank destroyers available now so what I decided to use them for was an anti-tank gun similar to the AAA guns except that offensively they operate just like a tank. A3/ D 3D6@1 -OR- 3/ M2/ C8

Same for the panzerfaust Inf but with modification. A1/ D1D6@1 -OR- 2 (like regular Infantry)/M1/ C4.

The rifled field cap guys looked like perfect conscripts A1/D1/M1/C2

I have some others too.

@MacNaughton:

But for the sake of game mechanics, it is important that we say that Germany “liberates” Rome. Also, for the sake of game mechanics, we can only take historical accuracy so far. Which means that if Rome is liberated by Germany, then we pretend that all the Italian territories all over the board will be perfectly happy to come back under the rule of Italy no matter the actual feeling of those people in actual history.

Exactly. Thank you, sir.

@Imperious:

All those dice rolls thing would imbalance the game, only a fixed result can be balanced and must be.

Hmm… We are both talking about Axis and Allies, right?

In terms of movement the port works the same as AAP, its not a new zone.

Under these rules the only way to get them out of port forcibly is by “dislodgement” by taking the territory by land, the naval units are put out to sea which will cause a naval battle on the following turn if enemy ships are blockading.

Also, i would limit air attacks at one round, with AA providing flak fire if present in the territory.

So under these rules the only time a port would be under attack is if you have like a single ship defending or overwhelming odds by air power knowing these planes will be loses

Correction to the attached chart:  There should not be a fortification in Alexandria for UK Europe set up.

I am creating a revised verison 2.0 for AAG40 board (1941 timeframe) which will incl;ude the following updates

Alpha+.2 updates (Factory, AA Gun and Naval/Air base set up) (National Advantages that are applicable for '41), (etc.)

Add African Colonies as part of the UK Minors.  This will add some small set up additiona in North and East Afrcia to make it relavant.  These units are avaiable at coachofmany’s site!

Set up edits to the North African theatre (Germany, Italy and UK, UK Minors)
