You Scored as Poland
Your army is Poland’s army. Your tenacity will form a concept in the history of your nation and you’re also ready to continue fighting even if your country is occupied by the enemy. Other nations that are included in this category are Greece, Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Thanks for the Quiz
Those Radio stations could be used in a variant, they look really nice !
Hi, so today I was playing the OOB version of Axis and allies europe 1940 and obviusly ( indeed, a lot of people already said this ) is very un-balanced, so now I decided to change to ALPHA 2, but I have a question, what is the setup, NO’s and turn order for europe theatre only?
What nation do you think it should be added as a separated Axis Minor?
Finland, Romania, Hungary …
What is your sorce for all this INFORMATION ???
Hello everyone, this is my first post on A&A.org!
I am looking to find a replacement set of pieces and markers for Italy in the 1940 game. Any ideas? I’ve been looking on ebay to no avail, and have not been able to find it from avalon hill either…
Any help would be greatfully appreciated. Thanks!
You can buy some from FMG (www. fieldmarshallgames . com) their are even better than OOB and they come with air transporters and officers
It would be cool if their were ones for the allies, we could use them in a variant
@Young:
I like it!
I noticed you have TWO AA50 boxes in the Picture! Those are worth almost $500 now! Keep them forever!
I will sell one of them to the highest bidder, at the 10th annual Field Marshal Wargaming convention in Oshawa Canada.
I think you should keep it, I have one copy and I will never sell it, is way to much important lol, but if you have two…

Sometimes when we play Revised we use Special units for each country instead of national advantages. This unit doesn’t replace the first one, it just adds another choice. Here’s what we use.
Country/Unit/att/def/move/special abilities/cost/marked with
Soviet Union/Partisan/0/1/1/Can be built in any red terrirtory/1/Infantry with roundel under it
Germany/SS-Panzergrenadier/2/3/2/can blitz like tanks/5/Infantry with roundel under it
United Kingdom/Supermarine Spitfire/4/5/4/none/13/fighter with roundel
Japan/Island Defender/0/5/0/can be built only on islands/3/infantry with roundel
USA/B-29/5/3/6/immune to AA guns/20/bomber with roundel
Kind of interesting but may be un-balanced
I think it is really un-balanced to don’t receive the 18 infantry but only 2
ok thanks for informing me about alpha 2 now any performance tips???
Do you know all the details about the rules, even if you think so read the manual again it helps me alot…
If you really think that you know every single detail of the rules, be more specific on how does your dad beats you, what he uses, where he attacks from …
that is helpful when i play germany i have to put all my crap in west germany
Yes, and now instead of needing 2 turns to move your infantry to the Russian front you can do it in 1 turn, but this is just one of the good diferences ALPHA 2 has
also is there any way that i can get more ipcs with anzac
Go for the National Objectives, any time Japan leaves a island with few troops go for it.
I have always had a problem with Anzac and wanted others opinons
Invade japanese islands but also be ready to defend the coast
were playing by the rules in the rulebook i play axis and my problem is germany is always pushed back by the uk and then killed by russia then italy is next sometimes i can get japan to save the axis but not for long before im done with the game
OOB is very un-balanced, use Alpha 2
Nice pics, they seam to be high quality

I want to add Dive/Torpedo Bombers to Spring 1942 but I’m torn between 2 version.
Version-1: 3-2-4-8
This is basically a simplified version. However, it is generally known that such aircraft can inflict much more damage if there are no opposing Fighters but on the other hand can suffer great losses if there is an opposing Fighters and they have no escort. So I was thinking of a rule to reflect this.
Version-2: 3(4)-2(1)-4-8
If there is no opposing Fighter it can attack at 4. If there is an opposing Fighter and has no fighter escort it defends at 1. If both sides have fighters it attacks normally. This reflects closer to reality but is more complicated.
What version would you prefer? If you have other idea for this rule, please share them.
Torpedo Bombers should make a special role if their is an enemy naval unit in the opposing side, and if I’m understand what you want you should name them torpedo bombers and not dive bombers since the JU-87 is considered a dive bomber

OK, looking forward for the final result
