Rules are done, just working on profiles. and then change it to a Open office Document as opposed to keynote.
Considering enlarging map to include all of lake Victoria and even into Rwanda (maybe).
Either way, this will hopefully be done this weekend. PM me if you would like to be on a play test list. (Cannot guarantee anything)

@Sun_Tzu:

I’ll take midway, New Guinea and Coral

My final claim is New Guinea, Norway, Aleutians, and Anglo-Iraq sorry to push you out but you misunderstood me about New guinea. I still wanted it.

@Pvt.Ryan:

Sorry to post way to much but Croesus do you have the rules to East out yet? I can wait to try it out. Also I think for this Hundred Regiments game i will make it to where you need to complete objectives. The Japanese must kill 2/3 of the Chinese for or must operate so many touch and burn operations. The chinese must destroy railroads and capture victory cities. They might also have to destroy the coal mine. The game will be won on victory points. The rules will be similar to D-Day but with no time limit (i hate time limits). Each army will have special abilities. The communist forces can recruit conscripts from cities and villages (only once per town) they can disappear into the wilderness like subs and they can move 2 spaces. The Japanese can use railways for movement and in general get a bigger force. While the chinese have regulars, conscripts, artillery and maybe some tanks, the japanese get infantry, atillery, tanks, and fighters, and maybe bombers.

Getting Close, I’ll post something sometime next week

@Croesus:

I was thinking that for games with similar rules we should  put rulebooks together. So instead of 14 rulebooks we have 4 Saves on space and harder to lose stuff

Sounds good I have the start of my rulebook posted on my forum how is yours coming?

It’s coming.

I’m giving up Okinawa and the Coral sea is now New Guinea in general

No, I have decided that I want Iwo, Okinawa, Coral Sea, Norway, and Maybe the Aleutians, but that has weird dimensions
You get 5, I get 5, Unless SunTzu wants Coral, or Iwo, maybe even Oki

Stay back Spartan, Norway is mine

Iwo Jima and Okinawa are currently unclaimed

@Sun_Tzu:

Hey Spartan, did you ever think about making an Iwo Jima, Okinawa, or Singapore battle maps? That could have some potential…

Singapore is taken:http://www.fieldmarshalgames.com/field-marshal-games-accesories/worldsforge-field-command/field-command-singapore-1942.html
Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and Coral Sea have potetial

The rules are tricky, but I have the setup about figured out.

Just to be sure, you do know that that is lake Victoria, not the Atlantic, right?

Map 1.3 (Final?)
Spartan, I think we may be the only ones who care, but I really like these mini games. They’re fun to design and I kinda want to try Norway next. They’re both good for training, low-attention span friends, and travel
I could train my friends to play A&A like this
Basic Combat: East Africa
Economics: Winter War?
Naval/Air Combat: Greece
Adv. Combat(Put it all together): Norway

What are the dimensions of the little mini boxes?

@FieldMarshalGames:

Useful map

If you look at my map, Funnily enough it seems to have all of these borders. Coincidence? Nope :-). But thanks anyway

Apple’s Paintbrush-and it works great
1.1 was a miserable failure which was never posted

Map 1.2

You may have seen Spartan_Soldier’s thread about Greece. I’m working on a similar A&A Express game-About East Africa. Any historical information on Military is appreciated, as wikipedia gives very little location detail

Does anyone know where to get detailed information on the campaign? Wikipedia only takes me so far.

@CWO:

Nice map and good luck with the project!  I’d suggest putting the capital names in yellow rather than red so they’ll show up better against the colour of their background.

The presence of French Somaliland opens up the interesting possibility of putting some French units there for potential participation in the fighting.

Well, My idea is partially to use this as a trainer game, so the teacher plays the French, a minor role, and the other two are being taught.
KNP: Yes, Yes but Somalia is to be further divided

Sounds Great

Thanks, this is my first Invention, so help is appreciated

Axis & Allies Express: EAST AFRICA
There were talks of making an Axis and Allies Travel-Friendly Game, and that forum became mostly about Axis & Allies Express: Greece, so I present to you my preliminary VERY rough map of the same Idea with the East African Campaign

Note: This game was started today, and is still a work in progress, only the map is started
