Hello, I am CentralCommando, and I am a Axis and Allies fanatic.
My top three A&A games are:
Europe 1940 2nd Edition (1)
Axis and Allies Revised 2004 (2, don’t judge me.)
Axis and Allies Classic 1982 (3)

I hope this forum has a great future!

@Charles-Fontaine Egypt and Union of South Africa were British Dominions, Tunisia was a French protectorate.

Dang, the map is larger than 8GB and a 91-page rulebook? Holy smokes that’s massive! Thanks for the rulebook.

@vodot Sir, this is brilliant! I always though the Dutch East Indies looked ugly on that map. So with these overlays, not only does it look so much better, there’s more territories for more strategies! Also, this fixes my biggest problem with 50th: Italy. Italy originally only had three territories, and was overall irrelevant to the game as a whole. But here, There’s more territories for them, and a new pair of frontlines with IEA. Australia is improved too, which is a welcome quality-of-life addition.

@barnee

Perhaps I haven’t got the update yet, but it is still next to the notification bell and user icon on the top right of the screen.

Hope this helped!

@HansMohr68 Well, let me know when you do more progress on it. (Map Fixes, Battle Board, etc.)

@Titus Ah, Okay. Neat setup though!

@barnee Wow, that’s certainly different! Some ideas I have is clicking the user icon or the menu icon. I don’t have it yet, so I cant help too much yet.

(Also, this new menu in the screenshot looks weird)

Great looking map! But, here’s some feedback:

This is a problem that is in every mainline a&a europe map has: America has not enough territories. The AMOUNT of America on the map is perfect, but there is only two territories on the mainland. You could divide those into:

• Washington D.C. (Stays the Same)
• New England (8 IPCS)
• Mid-Atlantic (14 IPCS)
• Great Plains (8 IPCS)
• Southern States (10 IPCS)
• West Indies become 2 IPCS

Another thing is that the United Kingdom should have more IPCS than Soviet Union, because unless Soviet Union starts with barely any units at all, it will be pretty unfair for the Axis. (And even then, UK and SU should have about the same)

Next is Italy. I see you gave them Vichy France, and while they were technically a German Puppet state, I’ll allow this. But make sure they have Yugoslavia and Greece, as they did have them at the time.

Others include:

• Areas like Aragon are still unnamed and unlabeled
• Area size is pretty unbalanced, even right next to eachother (Take Upper and Lower Egypt for Example.)
• At many points, it’s hard to see who owns what (e.g. compare U.S. to Great Britain. You’re probably going to add roundels to help, but still.)
• Great Britain looks unusable
• Territory Suggestion: Bermuda/Azores. This would add other routes to North America/Europe.

Good, but flawed map in these areas.

Also, what does the battle board look like for all of these new units, I’m curious?

@Nuts Welcome, fellow newer players! I hope everyone is having a good time here.

@Elrood Very true, I wouldn’t put it past Winnie’s China to raid sites to keep certain events out of their narrative, even if the method is extremely flawed and invasive.

@JHendrix112 I third Mr. Bowser on that. While I never got to see Der Kuenstler’s content, I would look forward to see what he made in the past! I watch new & old content regarding Axis and Allies all of the time, so it would be nice to see what he brought to the table all those years ago. Hopefully he’ll upload his content again by using Bowser’s email!

@Screamer I already did to an extent, but to answer it directly:

Even if Russia used its large Moscovian force to liberate Ukraine, it could probably seal it faster then if they just stood in Moscow. First off, forces in Galicia and later Tatarstan could recontest the territory, and the attack would either be halted or expelled by the next turn. If the Russians sent a large amount of units to Ukraine, German forces in Belarus would wreck the now sparse capital territory (the russians wouldn’t be able to continuously produce, as their capital is contested).The Central Powers just have too much of a lead on units for the attack to switch the tides of the war unless a literal miracle happens.

Not to mention, there are too many Austrian units in Tatarstan to encircle without that encirclement immediately breaking on the Austrian turn. There are not nearly enough Entente units to strongly defend against 30 Infantry, 18 Artillery, and 2 Planes (from what I can see) in every surrounding territory.

@Screamer If you mean the entire Entente surrendering, it all really depends on the state of the rest of the board. From what I can see, this game looks won for the Central Powers, as the stack in Belgium looks just big enough to overwhelm France. The Ottomans haven’t fallen yet according to Romania, as the Ottomans really just need a couple territories to stay a viable threat. British reinforcements really can’t save Russia at this point, as Austro-Hungarian forces are just too powerful to stop in Tatarstan. While I can’t see the Southern Front, I doubt Italy is wiping the floor with Austria.

Despite the Entente likely lasting several more turns after this one, the end result wouldn’t pan out to the Entente’s advantage. Even without the Armistice, this would almost certainly be a Central Powers Victory.

Yay

@djensen You could also possibly make support tiers based ons playable A&A nations that could display as country tags. For example, here is a mockup of a French country tag.

Just a neat idea if you’re considering to add more tiers. You could also do the same thing with game pieces if you wanted to.

@Elrood Oh nooooooooooooooooo!
These bots are going to have a field day! :((((((

@Elrood Very true, I wouldn’t put it past Winnie’s China to raid sites to keep certain events out of their narrative, even if the method is extremely flawed and invasive.

@Elrood Not only that, it’s always the Kuomintang instead of the CCP. The CCP has never been in Axis & Allies before, and while there are good reasons for this, Chinese Bots consider this unforgivable.

;)

@djensen I wonder why Chinese bots are so interested in this site? I haven’t experienced any issues today thankfully…

@Titus Adding outlines definitely add clarity from an otherwise dark battle board. Should look great when you’re finished!

Though, the dark red outline to the black text over a bright tan background looks a bit weird. Maybe just a slight darkening of the tan and a lighting of the red outline would do the trick?

@Titus Ah, Okay. Neat setup though!
