Axis & Allies Global Confict - 3rd Edition Released

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!

@georgemak1:

A question for the HBG crew. Any idea when the next German set is due?

November

I want to know what else keeps the game exciting the first few rounds besides the sino-japanese war.

Like what kind of options do the allies have to interfere with Japanese expansion early in the game?

@Imperious:

its on his site. look it up.

Here is one of the threads on the subject.

Thanks.  I’ve been reading the site a lot, but this thread is great.  Again, thank you.

It’s amazing how players like Krieghund, Adlertag, and Imperious Leader got to help shape the AA50 game.  If it were me, I’d be really proud of that.  I’m really glad someone was pushing for Italy in the game.  IMO it was one of those “About Time!” decisions.

The thing with this game among other issues, was that it was “poof” released in final form with no input of any kind from anybody and no advance awareness. It was like a secret weapon used as its finished. He had a sale for $25 each game like stale food from Von’s a day before expiration date.

Hi,

Empires of History: WWII will also be releasing in March of 2006. It too will be using our new style of game counters and has about 1,200 full color oversized chit counters.

The game will come with laminated maps. Two of them actually. One for Europe and one for the Pacific. Each map is approximately 21" x 33". The maps include the primary areas of battle in both Europe (Meaning Europe, Russia, North Africa, Middle East) and the Pacific (China, India, Japan, Australia and the pacific out to about Midway). The rest of Africa and both North and South America are represented by a nmber of off map zone boxes along the edges of the maps. But we have plans to release all three as map expansions later.

Anyway, we’re still working and completing the last of the design work on the map, so we don’t have that to show. But all the units are done and at the printer right now, as is the play testing. So we have the last of the graphical design on the map to do and the rules to layout for printing.

The game will now retail for $47.95.

We will also be releasing Empires of History: WWII Extra Armies ($11.95) which includes the color counters for all the neutrals in the world, as well as WWII: Alien Invasion as a variant to be played with the core game.

Though I could go into greater detail, a few people from these boards have tried out Empire Forge.  They seem to enjoy the game.  C’mon over and check it out.

Basically, this is a “BUMP”.

where can you get Max’s advanced rules ?
