I’m thinking of using commanders in this way:

Commanders are non attacking or defending land units that are taken as the last causality in a land battle exactly like a transport.When present in a battle (either attacking or defending) you may reroll one missed die for each type of unit in the battle that missed. This means that commanders are most useful in battles with mixed forces. For example if each type of land unit was present in an battle the commander would average contribute an additional 1-2 or maybe 3 hits depending on the value of the new units. since a commanders influence could be quite large in a battle they would need to be fairly expensive. I’m thinking 15 ipcs.

Also considering giving Commanders the right to travel with fleets on a capital ship such as Aircraft carriers and battleships. Commanders would work the the same way in a sea battle as in an land battle.

Just thoughts. Whatever the rule ends up being it needs to relate to the commanders actual role in the war. It would be a mistake to make for an example a commander an attacking unit as commanders were not platoon or even divisions. Commanders are planners. I also think a +1 across the board is also a bad idea as it would become over powerful in a large battle. However a +1 to one unit of each unit type would be appropriate and not over powerful.

Take it or leave it. Thanks again FMG for your excellent contributions to the community.

My basic charts for AAG40 are complete. Below you will see the low resolution screenshots of the AAG40’s National Production / National Objectives / Weapon’s Development Chart, Diplomacy / Nation Specific Rules Charts  and Setup Charts for each power. As always,please report any errors or inconsistencies so I can fix them. Enjoy.

I don’t expect that I will get around to Task Force or Battleboard any time soon as I still have AAE40 Charts to finish plus a potential setup change from Larry Harris.

    Here are the low resolution screenshots based on additional information and corrections submitted by those who played the game at Gen-Con.
Thanks for everyone who has helped. As always if you notice any errors or inconsistencies please let me know.

P.S. I am already working on the Diplomacy / Nation Specific rules charts. Once again these will be based on information available. An official release will be issued after I read and review the rulebook.

UPDATE: August 8, 2010
  Here is my current version of the AAG40 National Production Chart which also includes National Objectives and Weapon’s Development Charts. Please understand that this is not a final version and changes to the text (which are based on those who have played the game) will most likely change when I finally get a rulebook in hand. This is preview is intended only to be a template for the final version, so don’t freak out if you see something thats not entirely accurate (especially on the weapon’s development chart). This chart will be reviewed, updated, any fixes applied before I post the final high resolution chart. Until then enjoy this low resolution screenshot.

  Many of you have inquired of me as to when I will begin work on my AAE40 and AAG40 aids. Well work has already begun. So far I have completed the Global setup charts for each nation. There is still much to do on this project and I will continue to work on this project as new information becomes available. Hopefully it won’t be too long before the global National advantages and political rules are known. Until then the wait continues…

Enjoy.

P.S. Once I complete AAG40’s aids, I will create AAE40 Aids. I will likely also create Canada Aids for those who wish to play it as a separate power.Also any of you notice any errors, please let me know so it can be fixed on the final product.

Here’s mine that I created out of black card stock last year. There much more rigid than using standard paper and still work great. I’m definitely going to be making these for AAE 40 When it comes out. Thanks again ozimek.
