thanks for helping improve the wording and structure!
Love this site

you do have the correct idea. I also want to play a game out further while still having something to play for competitively instead of players just racking in the cash and killing them slowly and easily.

There is the problem of agreeing. I think it can be solved if we structured the bidding differently.

The Axis surrenders. Then players start betting how many rounds they can survive as the axis. that way you can keep bidding higher until one side accepts. They then must try to survive that many rounds.

I think the victory side should get to pick who bids 1st and both sides must bid higher each time.

Problem: One side thinks they are losing quite bad, doesn’t see a path to victory but feels bad quitting early. Other side would like to keep playing also.

Solution: The Surrender Bid! (edited)

at the end of a round one side may surrender
Players pick a number of victory cities/capitals that will decide a victory
(if not decided at game beginning) If players cannot agree, play to a total victory.
Players bid how many rounds they can operate the surrendering side before losing.
The goal for one side is to just stay alive for that many rounds and the other much achieve the victory conditions in that many rounds or less.
The side the accepted the surrender decides which side bids first. Each side must accept the bid or bid a higher number.

Say the Axis want to surrender, and it is a total victory Game. (this was agreed upon at the start)
The axis player offers a bid “If I control the Axis, I can hold off a total victory for 6 more rounds”
The allied player can accept OR bid higher. Keep bidding until one side accepts

If the Surrendering player wins the 2nd part of the game, it is a tie, if the Victor player wins the 2nd leg they achieve a double victory.

Axis and Allies has a scale problem, which is the nature of the beast when you try to put ww2 in a box.

A turn is supposed to represent several months, and in a single turn A bomber can fly from the UK and hit the Mediterranean sea sinking infinity transports

I do enjoy creative use of plans and figuring out weird flight paths, but it does give air power an insane ability.

historically/thematically, air power was more powerful when the bases were closer to the fight. (why fighters defend better than they attack) So could we have a feature where air power is reduced at greater ranges?

Some ides I have,
1)
Air Power uses 1 movement every time they don’t retreat. (let plains retreat, individually & separately whenever they want) my favourite but tricky to track
2)
Air power only stays for 1 or 2 rounds of combat unless they are adjacent
3)
Air power’s attack is reduced to the remaining movement the plains individually have

I’d like to see if there are other rules like this but i did not find them
