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

@CWO:

It would have been a nice touch to rename the jail square “in the brig”.

HA! Good one. Another possibility would be “the Stockade”.

And the picture of the “Go To Jail” policeman with the whistle could be replaced by a picture of an M.P. or Shore Patrol guy.

@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.

@stevan_avalon Asking the same question. Reminds me of World Conqueror and the hundreds of games just like it. A&A rules would be very cool and yes i have seen people make hex-based maps for A&A before :flushed: :grin: it was on Reddit one time and it was beautiful

Spray on primer? I have painted thousands of minature warships,tanks, infantry :-o :-o and planes over the years and I have never realized I needed to put a primer base on them.  I have always washed them and after they dried painted them in the chosen patterns. So if you are suggesting primer what do you use since even on my 1-700 scale Warship collection I never used a primer.  Maybe it was written to do so but I can’t read Japanese, no instructions in English.

Well I have at last finished (sort of) a map for A&A Europe that I am happy with (Hey it took only 17 years and was started even bfore there was a A&A Europe :lol: ) It is I can say quite nice I worked on expanding a 1 inch by inch square area to a 1 and 1 half inch square area effectively doubling the size of the map. For example Canada is now four territories (Ontario, manitoba, Quebec and the Maritimes (Which is actually an island group)). meanwhile the German player has to deicde if he will move toward the economic heartland of Russia or toward Moscow. I decided to keep the original values for the territories hence alot of empty spaces with no value except for getting you where you want to go. Further this put them in somthing resembling original geographic positions (For example Solvokia is the industrial heatland of Czecheslovakia (now two territories))

Now I am ready to turn my attention to Conquest of the Empire I was wondering if it was up to you what would you import into the game from the new A&A series. I was thinking of either using the convoy system or the Supply line introduced in A&A Pacific to represent things such as the Egyptian grain convoys. Any suggestions?
