Lets Talk Axis and Allies Pacific: 1940

@tmartin Yes!

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!

:-P dude, i did it twice  :-P

Actually, Upside-down_Turtle comes from my early Star Craft days.  Basically, in a 3v2 game, I’d be the odd man out as Terran and essentially be a non factor.  I’d maybe get off an expand or two, but eventually “turtle up” and suck all my minerals dry.  Then I basically pray my buddies won the huge battle I had no part in.  Otherwise, I was easy pickings.

Best run I had was as the zerg.  Captured, like, ten minneral fields in the middle of the map.  Problem was, no one could attack anyone else unless they went through me.  It was like a giant Hydralisk meat grinder.    :-P They kicked me out eventually, but it was a good run.  8-)

Oh yeah, and I almost killed someone with a Zelot rush  :-D

That settles it, I’m Googling Star Craft II videos…

We have introduced Oil rule la couple of years ago.
In our 1939 game rules, Axis players doesn’t have oil so they have to fight to get some because they’re going to face a penalty after the 7th round.

If you conquer a neutral oil territory you receive form the bank, twice of the value of the territory.
Ex: Saudi Arabia = 2 IPC so you’ll receive 4 IPC.
When you invade an ennemy oil territory, the player must give you twice of the value of the territory. Ex: Egypt = 2 so UK player must pay 4 IPC.

@Rorschach:

4 year old discussion people.  ;)

No doubt.  Doc Brown called, he wants his time machine back.

for the most part I like 'em - except it adds A LOT of complication & new stuff to the game. (Stalinist paranoia and the China rules, for example). Being sort-of opposed to IC’s in general and the somewhat long-ish ranges that fighters can potentially have, I gobbled up those rules pretty quickly. …mostly though, I borrowed a lot of the ideas to make simpler versions of these rules.
