Axis And Allies spring 1941, spring 1942, spring 1943, and spring 1944 setup for Axis And Allies 1940 game board

This is the last one of these I’ll be doing for now (check out my Europe 1941, Europe 1942, and Pacific 1942 games).

Using the 1941 map (the simple version) I turned almost all territories on the western half of the board neutral, removing Germany from the game, as well as decreasing the incomes of the US, the UK, and the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union, with no capital, cannot build units or collect income, but still has a turn and can use the Siberian infantry in combat as usual. It is recommended that the Soviet player also control another Allied power.

In order to win, the Allies have to capture Tokyo and hold it until the end of the Japanese player’s next turn. The Japanese win by controlling 17 IPCs worth of territory and holding it for a complete round of play (they do not need to be the same territory).

All other rules stay the same.

Let me know if you would like to play this with me!

@all-encompassing-goose

The no IPC scenario should not be combined with free for all (rather, I haven’t tried it yet). What happened was Japan beat China with only a few ground units left, and the allied and Japanese fleets annihilated each other. The US was able to land in China though and worked with the Soviets to retake most of northeastern China by the end of the game. On the Eastern Front Germany and Italy waited for the Soviets to exhaust themselves. It was tough going at first but once the Soviets were broken they had almost nothing left to give.

Overall in this game whoever has the last unit wins, ground units were crucial and any mistake or bad luck is heavily decisive.

I’ll have to try that too! It would be harder in person, but could probably be done if everyone kept a paper log of what units they have in each territory. Maybe.

This sounds incredibly interesting to me. I am all about flexibility in games as it keeps you interested in them. That is what I am attempting with my Global variant map and house rules with it. Except I am only doing WWII as it is what I have available, and due to limited funds and limited experience I am not willing to undertake something like this on my own… yet. But this sounds incredibly interesting. If there is anything I can do to help out let me know. Assuming this goes beyond an idea

It is normal cardboard like all proper game maps, but this is 5 x 4 foot map. Don’t draw on it, just buy HBG rail markers

I am also using 3 types of battleships.
Light BB 3-4
BB 4-4
Hvy BB 4-5
i am represneting them with say US.
Oklahoma will be Light BB, South Dakota will be BB, and Montana will be Hvy BB

Japan will start with all BB’s , no Light since they were all upgraded when war broke out.

I supose if I had built ships it would have made a difference.  I may give that a shot next time I play Germany.  It looks like I will be playing an ally this time though…

@Warplayer12:

Maybe a islamitic union instead of the mid east coalition. BTW, there is on World War 3 game on BoardGameGeek

necro!
