Can you add the Italian Maiale submarines and the British Long Range Desert Group LRDG to the game? I originally proposed a World War II game with Maiale submarines from the Decima MAS flotilla with my hand-drawn map of World War II, but since I found out about Doug Friend’s map, I decided to add my ideas to it. I would like to see the Special Air Service (SAS) in the game, too. I think that Italy should have the Maiale submarines and have a bonus point against any Allied surface warships in the Mediterranean. The Maiale submarines will only be allowed to operate in the Mediterranean and they will have bonus points and warships will not get to roll against them. It will sort of be like the Italian equivalent of the Japanese kamikaze tokens. The Italian player will of course be limited as to how many Maiale submarines that they will get to roll per turn. The Maiale will be any Italian submarine and the infantry aboard the submarine will attack the Allied surface warship in the Med.
I am not sure how to even make it work within the game. I was proposing a game with Maiale submarines against any ANZAC, French or British surface warships in the Mediterranean.
I also propose adding the Ariete Division for Italian elite units and the Folgore Parachute Division as Italian elite units. The Italians also had volunteers from India and the Middle East in their armies. I have a book on Italian elite units of World War II from 1940-1943.
Italy not only had Bersaglieri, they also had the Ariete Division and the Folgore Division. You could add paratroopers to the Italian player.
You could also add torpedo bombers to the Italians. The Italians used the Savoia Marchetti SM. 79 as a torpedo bomber in the Mediterranean. You could also add torpedo bombers to the Germany, United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union. Japan and the United States weren’t the only nations to have torpedo bombers.
I have another suggestion.
You could also add a Bearn class aircraft carrier to France. France’s only aircraft carrier in World War II was the Bearn class aircraft carrier.
The Bearn was out in the Atlantic when France surrendered in 1940. You could add torpedo bombers to the Soviet Union, too. The Soviet Union had torpedo bombers in the Baltic and Black Seas.
You could also add a plastic P-40 painted in China’s paint color to simulate the Flying Tigers. There is so much that you could add there.

Hey Deathshead!
My map has taken a bit longer than usual to sort out, since it’s taken a while to secure funds from the members of our club to pool their cash together.
Should be here by next week. Pics will be posted, but bare in mind I’m moving house and so it will take a while to set up my new gaming room ;)

Howdy all.
I was in need of a replacement AA world map so I choose this one to have printed. Mainly because it looks so good but also because I know how much effort went into designing it. A huge thanks to all involved; that’s for sure.
The printer asked if they could tinker with the size a little bit to better fit on their available stock. I said sure & the price came out to $40 cdn. Quite reasonable for what I got I think. The material is a coated matte on the printed side & quite thick. Again, for what I paid I’m thrilled.
I just got it home on Friday & I’ve been admiring it for the past two days. I probably should have waited to post this after I’d figured out the exact dimensions & precisely what it was printed on. All I really know that it’s a beautiful map & I’m itching to play on it.
Here it is draped unceremoniously over the chair in my computer room:

well thank you. The colors look perfect, But I am afraid at that smaller size, you may run into some piece density issues. It may or may not clear up after rd 1 stacking, But I hope it works for you.
Thanks for printing it

Deathhead,
I am painting my Infantry, can you give me some Maximum numbers of Infantry needed for your game of each nation so i do not paint as well as buy more than I need.
Thanks. -
Use your setup charts, to figure out how many different stacks of say inf. you have for each country, I would have 2-5 extras of each country’s units above say set up.
Now there are exceptions like, Japan only starts with 2 tanks on the board, But if you have ever played any AA game, you now that 4-7 tanks is not going to cut it.

1. why didn’t you do a 1939 map?
2. what program did you do your map on?
3. looks great. Needs more sea zones between S. America and Africa

Has anyone used this module www.axisandallies.us/G10.gim.zip for this game? Does it need to be updated? Let me know.
-
Played another game, and I am happy to say that the Axis won because of a prolonged and successful Sea Lion Attempt(s)
Japan Tied up the US in the Pacific By taking Hawaii on rd 2 and Forced the US to all but ignore the Atlantic, Meanwhile the German Russian Front Lay stagnant while the Kriegsmarine Conducted landing after landing on the British Isle’s

I managed to sift through and find some excel files that have the setup plus a “variant” setup.
I am trying the first 1942 setup. -
