Great First Impression

@Narvik
Here’s a first attempt, let me know what you think about some of these. The “Optional Rule” units have two versions each, one from the rulebook and another version with a twist.

Column Legend:

Rule: where did this unit/rule come from?
o OOB = Out-of-Box, straight from the rulebook
o OPT = From the “Optional Rules” section
o OPT+ = same as above but with a twist
o VAR = Variant (new/additional units)

Nation: Which nations can build this thing. Yellow/Green boxes show where these units have been added to this nation as part of Optional or Variant rules, respectively.

Unit: Unit name

$/A/D/M: Cost, Atk, Def, Move

# / t: How many of these units may be purchased each turn (sometimes different for each nation e.g. medium armor)

# tot: How many of these units total are allowed on the board (sometimes different for each nation e.g. trucks)

Notes: Rules etc.

New abilities:

Armored = when this unit is selected as a casualty, roll 1d6. On a 1-3, this unit is damaged. On a 4-6, this unit is destroyed. This unit repairs any damage automatically at the start of it’s owner’s next turn.

Air Transport = This unit may transport 1 non-tank land unit or 1 supply during the non-combat phase (only), ending its movement in the same territory as the disembarking transported unit.

EDIT:
I’m working on a rebuild for the reference charts to make this prettier… bear with me

No, the British player cannot buy supply with pre-game variable RPs.
On page 9, the plastic game pieces are referred to as combat units and trucks. As supply is not a plastic piece, they are not combat units.

Under LAND UNITS on page 30: “Infantry, mechanized infantry, artillery, anti-tank guns, anti-aircraft artillery, scout cars, and tanks are combat units, but trucks are not combat units.” Supply is not listed here as a combat unit.

Looks like we should have defined combat units more carefully, but the phrase “combat unit” appears dozens of times in the rulebook and it is clear in those uses that supply is not considered a combat unit.

Thanks,
Matt

Oh gosh I never noticed Sardinia being misspelled on the map! Just a proofing error I guess. Lucky that it’s a very unimportant territory for the game.

Sardinia fix. :) Print at 400 DPI.

@kenny Scout cars never need supplies. If the defender want to defend against them all units that require supplies must use them to defend against the scout car. I do believe the scout car is required to leave that zone, or it can just not capture it. I assume @Panther would know. Re-thinking I do believe it can stay in that zone as long as it is neutral or friendly.

@Ramstark 1-2 is for Anti Air. I’m not quite sure if the German AAA’s were that better to warrant for a 3 or less. If so then I would be happy to add it to my North Africa 1939 Variant game.

If an Italian bomber attacks the Malta Convoy zone in where you have 3 Supply Tokens and 1 UK Fighter, his attack value is technically 6 with the Fighter having a defense value of 5. This is of course quite absurd that a slow bomber would be able to attack a Spitfire and have a stronger attack value. Has there been a complimentary rule on this in order to reduce the bomber attack value to well below the Fighters value to reflect the very slim chance of success
?

@Matt-Hyra

Thanks Matt! I didn’t realize that was a different app since we were in Discord still and it opened from Discord.

AI is trash when it comes to Axis and Allies. I asked it a few times, it only gives very generic info that’s not really helpful. Still, a specialized AI explicitly tasked with coming up with Axis and Allies strategies and loaded with all the rules and maps could be very helpful (although it doesn’t exist yet).
