No never tried Minis

Would it not be easier and perhaps more appropriate for you to be allowed to place any ships in any SZ adjacent to a land territory you control… Otherwise I feel like there will just be a huge stack vs. a huge stack and it will go to the dice. I feel like allowing people to place naval units adjacent to any of the territory they control will not only give variety to each game, but also allow players to place units in areas where they can allow for different strategies

What he says is too. I saw both his and the other players post as well and they are both missing so it was no error of any sort it was clearly deleted by some moderator. And to thatonekid she clearly can moderate this page as evidenced by her edit of Bruces post.

Attacking a neutral gives the Axis far too much men… You also neglected to mention Switzerland and I believe Afghanistan would be doable as well…

Ah ok I generally play with a group generally 4-5. Never played by forum or by Email prefer live.

Oh thats too long a drive for me as well I’m much too far south.

Do you already have a group you regularly play with?

@coachofmany:

Does anybody have any information on where oil was stockpiled by what country and where. I know pearl harbor just filled their oil storage tanks prior to the Japanese bombing, I believe 500,000 tons of oil.
I would appreciate the information.

Yes I got some information on some stockpiles… The capture of Norway, Netherlands, Belgium, and France yielded Germany 5 million barrels. The Pechelbronn Oilfields in France gave Germany an oilfield to work with for the war. I also remember reading somewhere that the Germans captured a lot of oil from Antwerp.

I recognize that Japan was not a world power I was simply using their ipcs as trade income because the Dutch and Japanese had mercantile negotiations. In a previous post I mentioned the French could not build or land men on Japan nor the English without Japan fighting (think strict neutral whose ipc just goes to a nation)

Excellent thanks so much for the help and yes I was doing board game but generally when I do my custom boards they take forever to color so I was considering scanning them and then using paint or something to add color to the board. Your idea of using other boards is a solid idea though

That is indeed interesting and actually really makes me wanna do it and put the Napoleon on hold. The problem is the map how do you put them online. Draw the map on sheets of paper then scan them? That’s only way I can think of. Additionally pieces would be hard to come by. I feel substituting tanks for cavalry would ruin the authenticity haha.

1810 is actually firmly in between the revolution in 1776 and the American Civil War 1860-1865.
And I am kind of a Civil War buff and would love to create an alternate history scenario based on that now that you mention it… however would require an entirely new map. And in fact it was Britian that supported the South. It is in fact why the South invaded Maryland. When Antietam failed however it closed the possibility of the Brits joining the South as they did not want to support a side where they may lose. England actually built much of the Confederate Navy and was actually sued by the US after the war claiming for damages the ships that they constructed built.

I have hand drawn custom maps before for other games I created but I’m working 50 hours a week and don’t have time. Additionally I do not know how to build them on the computer either

Yes knp had it right whereas its virtually a ww2 game only with sides realigned in a historical context. Although as CWO mentioned the US was no longer a colony and fought Britian in the War of 1812 which is right around the timeframe.

Thoughts of making US a French Playable and making the Spanish Colonies playable for Britian? The Sides are still pretty fair as far as IPC and I feel like it really opens up the Americas for a solid war (simulating Mexican American War)

No, the rules are for the most part E40. But I am down to play other types.

I actually asked myself this…
Originally I was going to make it option 2- the setting of the Napoleonic wars only fought with ww2 weapons. But I am considering making separate rules that include the first as well which means period weapons. It would really only require a cutting of air planes. Tanks/Mech Infantry would represent Cavalry, Artillery is Artillery, Infantry as infantry, and I would assign the boats more period names only. But I am also interested into seeing what the community thinks, which is really why I posted it. So constructive criticism is appreciated as are other ideas which could possibly be incorporated.

@i rock- yeah there will be a few new rules but I am still hammering all that out it will be layed out in a later post.

@knp- What that means will be laid out later but basically because this is pre- African Scramble and the colonizing of Asia I am going to build in rules where most likely you will pay a certain amount of IPC’s to establish a colony in certain territories how exactly the system is going to work is what im trying to find out but thats the idea. The Fight neutrals should be better described as Pro-Independent. They are mainly former Spanish colonies in the Americas. They took advantage of the instability of Spain being taken by France and many of the revolutions started around 1810 so to emulate this in the game they will be like strict neutrals with armies you must fight to gain control of the territory. However unlike A&A attacking one will not influence the others to become pro one side or the other.

My other idea was to make the US playable on the French side and to counteract this I would make the Spanish colonies a playable power for the English side except when a French power attacked one of the spanish territories they would recieve extra units namely infantry join their already attacking forces. These infantry would represent rebels who support the French as liberators. That same idea will be applied to the territory of Spain to represent the fact that many Spanish fought against Napoleon’s rule and saw English as liberators.

Ok, Japan is French ally because France controlled the Netherlands around 1810 and the Japanese only traded with Dutch. However I have rules for Japan I did not post. France really only recieves the Japan IPC’s as trade. They do not per se control Japan. No units will be in Japan and the French can build nothing in Japan. To the English allies however Japan acts as a neutral. They may convoy the zone and stop the IPC’s for France however they may not attack the island without the Japanese fighting for their sovereignty meaning a preset army will be placed in Japan should the allies attack island.

The Philippines were a Spanish colony at this time and although France did control Spain many of it’s colonies took this as a time to fight for their independence (virtually all South American and Central American colonies). The West Indies had many powers in control of various islands however the island portrayed on the AAG40 board is Cuba which was controlled by Spain so I left it as so. The Philippines and Cuba (West Indies) however stayed loyal to the crown and remained Spanish after the Napoleonic Wars because of this I am considering of moving them to the Coalition. I don’t see how the Marianas could be French? A link or something perhaps.

I gave Yukon and British Columbia because Russian companies had control of North America down to the 55 degree latitude north. However I am considering giving British Columbia to the British due to their presence in the region as well.

Another idea I thought of afterward was to make the United States a playable power on the French Side as well. However, I am not certain how to even it out for the English side.

I am working on a scenario of a Napoleonic WWII. I have just divied up territories currently but will be preparing the setup in the next week. The territories are divied up circa 1810. Feedback is appreciated.

I think you should make the Dutch as originally stated but in addition create a Spanish/Portuguese axis power bent on recovering its possessions in the new world. Making their NO’s clash with the Dutch’s and thus you can finally see some action in the southern Atlantic and on South America.
