New modern A&A variation - Superpowers

Updated Rail Depot.  House rules below
Rail allows each nation to extend the
movement of their ground units each turn.  Each
nation may move up to 2 ground units from one
rail station to another during the non-combat
movement phase.  There is no limit to the distance these units may travel, only number of units allowed to use the rail.  An uninterrupted line of
controlled territories must connect rail stations. 
Only units that have not moved during any other
phase may use rail.  Units may not move prior to,
or after using rail.  For gaming purposes a nation
may only use rail stations and railroad they
control.
Rail stations may be built in any territory
controlled for at least 1 round. It is not required
for these units to be built in factory locations.  As
the non-combat movement phase precedes the
place units phase, newly purchased rail stations
and railroad markers may not be used the same
turn they are purchased.
Rail stations and railroad may be captured by enemy nations.  Players must maintain control
of captured rail for one full turn before they are
allowed to use them.  Players may destroy their
own rail stations and railroad, however this must
be done during the controlling players turn. 
Players may attempt to destroy enemy rail stationswith strategic bombing.  Apply same rules for
strategic bombing.
Note:  Rail movement may not cross the Suez Can

@crusaderiv:

No. In fact i’m talking about historical accuracy battle.
If you make war you start with your strongest force.
Germany, USSR and later the Allies, used the tanks, planes and artillery to start the battle not with the infantry.

It really doesn’t make a difference as far as rules go. All defending units get to return fire regardless. If you’re assigning casualties i.e. tank vs tank etc. That would be incorrect. Except in the case of some naval units, the defender may assign hits to whatever unit they choose and may return fire.

I may not be understanding what your concept is. Please explain. If I am assuming you correctly you need to read through the rules again and it may give you a clearer idea of the combat sequence.

I’m not trying to be rude. I think your post could be a bit more descriptive. It will help people answer your question better.

Well, if we have a Cold War game, then how about after the USA and USSR nuke everything we have a new game of “Rise of the Machines”, humanity struggles to survive against the Terminators.

This line of products will not be successful…I have no idea why so many people make the same mistake. Jeff who made The War Game: World War Two had its minis made by Pegasus hobbies and i knew when i saw the prototypes the size would be an issue because they are not compatible with AA. The whole point is to make them smaller so they fit on the map and are in scale with what people use over many years. Such a simple concept that they never seem to realize. Then in this case he makes these ‘guns’ as representative as infantry? Terrible idea.

Anyone interested in being a part owner of a new board game company? I have produced a new board game that is basically a modern day axis & allies type game with serveral improvements and new pieces. Game is fully produced and in a few stores now.

Looking for people who are good with games to help run the business and promote the game, plus work out improvements for the next edition. Right now this is just a 1-man show, but i think this game has the potential to be even bigger than A&A.

The company is Superpower Games, LLC and the game is Superpowers. There is no cost in becoming an owner other than agreeing to help promote the game plus get 18 copies at the ultra low price of just $10/game to then resell at a profit for yourself.

Field Marshall games would be making them once they sell out their AA dice plus the special Italian, French and Chinese ones. Once they get them going they look into new ideas and tokens are on the list as i hear it.

@Warplayer12:

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