For anyone interested in trying this out, I’ve tried my best to adopt Siredblood’s Bloodbath Ruleset (BBR) V3.0 to A&A Anniversary edition. It takes all the fun new mechanics of Bloodbath Rules without the extra complexity of Gloabl 1940. Let me know your thoughts.

Wow that’s embarrassing. I just saw the thread and was curious about it. I didn’t even notice the year it was posted. Who knows. Maybe they’ll emerge from their cave.
Pretty cool variant. The rules make sense. How do you account for the weaker countries acting by themselves? Also, this would be hard to find enough players so everyone can have their own country.
Even if you don’t do free for all, the simultaneous movement works well in normal Axis and Allies teams. I imagine it speeds the game up too since there’s no down time between turns.
Try checking out Historical Board Gaming. If your 1914 pieces are still intact (they are plastic after all) you can replace rulebooks, game boards, and roundels without replacing the whole thing. It might be cheaper for you
