Honorable mention: RISK, CHESS, AAA D-Day, Tide of Iron

The made a civ board game?

Yes they did. I believe it was Eagle Games. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, please.

GG

It adds some variety to the otherwise McFarlane dominated line up. I miss King of the Hill.

@Dylan:

Well in all the games that have this thing, I’ve kept it, but never used it. One game anyways someone asked if I we could put all the pieces and chips under it, so I agreed, but I don’t know what it’s for?

I use it to put the pieces that were hit during a round of combat so I know that they get a shot back in defense. Once they get the defense shot then I remove them from play and put them back in the baggie.

oh! ok. that will be nasty :-/

You also missed half the wars I added to the list.

The so called “war of the three Kingdoms” was the unification of China.

@Imperious:

Well Italy vs UK in Egypt area, slightly favors the Italians.

BUT UK plays before Italy and Italy can lose its fleet on UK1, then UK can move out of Egypt and funnel troops for the counterattack.

Italy is weaker in this game than in AA50. Look at the setup and turn order. If Italy messes up the first turn it can be over for them and like dominoes, Germany becomes more weak.

What do Italy purchase? Fighters get rid of the British navy in the Med or land units to defend and help in Europe.

@Dylan:

Actually to be honest I should be a bit more specific, what were some wars fought in these era?

Crusades had stuff like the 1st Crusade
Napoleon has stuff like 1st Coalition

There were hundreds of wars and thousands of major battles fought between these periods, and thats just in Europe. You cant name them all.

@Flashman:

If both sides are all killed in the battle, you have to improvise some sort of “pro-Axis” marker for Sweden until it is occupied.

No, you don’t, because all strict neutrals are now pro-Axis.  However, until a power claims the territory, you do need to indicate somehow that the Swedish army has been used up.  An upside down control marker works well.

@maverick_76:

Why did I just waste my time reading these posts?

Because you did.

a few days after i saw this i saw an article in the news about how it was used to intimidate Russia from creating communist puppet governments in the region

@GrizzlyMan:

As Japan, that American 30 IPC bonus is a pretty big deterrant, especially considering that their income is already in the 50’s before it’s added. I think that the German and Japanese players are going to have to have a discussion before the start of the game as to when to awaken the sleeping giant. From what it seems to me, Germany will benefit hugely from keeping US and USSR out, while Japan wants them in as soon as possible.

The US bonus is 40 IPC.

Yes

I think you should add cavalry because the British had a cavalry division at the start of the war. Also the ANZAC’s had cavalry divisions even though the did not use them in Gallopoli and will you include rules about terrain such as the hills in turkey that meant the ANZAC infantry became fodder. Also will there be sea units used for transportation? You could also create a tech that meant Art could fire poison rounds that decreased Inf def and also killed halve of Inf stack.

Civilization Test of Time is the Best one in my opinion

@calvinhobbesliker:

Can you send me a picture? I didn’t take my P40 game to India.

@Dylan:

If you play that shorter game method, and your the Axis in this one, if you have some bad dice rolls and don’t take a city, you lose! I’ve been thinking if I should post it, but I thought it was an issue that should be mentioned!

Hmm.  The allies START the 1941 with 12 VCs:

United States:  Washington, San Francisco, Honolulu, and Manila
United Kingdom:  London, Calcutta, Sydney, Hong Kong, and Ottawa
Soviet Union: Moscow, Stalingrad, and Leningrad

I think your premise is incorrect.

@Dylan:

@calvinhobbesliker:

Wrong board

They can declare war on each other whenever they want; and there’s no war if they don’t

How is this the wrong one, it’s on the Pacific 40 board.

There needs to be a AAG40 board.

Because in P40, USSR doesn’t exist.

I agree, but for now europe includes global

@Lema099:

This might be a good place to start: List of Wars

What a great link! Thanks for that!

@McMan:

That’s not bad at all. Wait and get it for free! Although… if you get it for free, its harder to complain about the flaws.

“Can you believe this?! I paid $0 for this quality game and it has 12 typos!”

I don’t care about typos too mad. Although it may be because it never happened to me  :-D

Just had a southern chicken fried steak from a small local cafe. Good eating.
