@cernel Ignoring? My quip is all three versions: Global, E40, and P40. Latter classic Milton Bradley might be in the cards.

My forte is House rules, variants, and maps. I would not make a good judge for OOB rules because we seldom play with them except for classic MB AA.

You could probably Skype Kreighund if you contact him or one of his ‘appointed’ rules lawyers.

Upgrades are just free, like anything else you build or upgrade YOU NEED TO WAIT TILL THE END OF THE TURN FOR THEM TO APPEAR OR TAKE EFFECT. SO YOU WAIT TILL NEXT TURN TO BUILD 10 UNITS.

@vodot Right. We need to keep files in some fashion that are easily accessible for particularly new members whom are directed to this site to find them from other sites. Perhaps David can create a subforum by game that includes the file links for every creation/file.

This new company is either very incremental or very cheap. They just add a few pieces and slap on the logo and call it theirs???

Holy crap, roll the dice and invent something new!

@pizzapete Not on Movement. Projection of military prowess, where units can quickly come back for defense or charge and attack Moscow and the “JTDTM”. For Japan its really important to quickly reduce her IPC to the nub so the final assault comes quickly before USA/UK get organized logistical train. Revised is kinds messed up like original AAE.

Comebus? I thought it was Lord Cu^Tfungus

I gee i can land in this field but i have no ammo, no fuel, no nothing. I think i will eat the tree bark today, the Fuhrer told us it was delicious! Yea right. No bonus movement for planes wanting for lack of fuel…in this measure they can only travel as far as the fuhrer believes it can go…perhaps can wave down a passing benz and accommodate its fuel so i can complete my mission…

@SuperbattleshipYamato well it was alot different back when we allowed Politics to flourish. Mary and Jennifer used to get into great battles, then we had Sexual Harassment Panda, Mr. Smith, et al who posted like 30 times a day. I recall about 3 others who were nasty but eventually drifted off under a rock.

China:

the Chinese fighter is replaceable if destroyed but it takes 2 turns to arrive and IPC is deducted from US totals.

One infantry is placed each turn in each unoccupied territory.

comment? suggestions?

@barnee Revised is broken. 5 ipc tanks, buy all tanks. Game over, do not pass go insert 2 coins per play, JTDTM, etc…Black oceans. enough. 1942 is the standard bearer but a reprint should contain much larger map and new sculpts.

AXIS AND ALLIES IS MINIATURE WARGAMING.

@poptech LOOK. Airbases are established centers of aerospace logistics. Bombers don’t fuel in open fields, fighters don’t get supplies of ammo and payloads of bombs they precision drop on tanks from mountaintops. Centers where military airbases are located need to be featured in some detail in a game like this. Military bases are not civilian bases. Bombers need long runways to fly off with tons of bombs.

Also, you need some mechanism to damage them just like factories. The idea is not unrealistic. Naval bases have a similar function.

I would have taken it a step further with railroad concentrations that can also be damaged.

Go to Ukraine and see the problems associated with keeping an airbase operational during wartime.

But never complain about this again until you do.

Dude I need armies of these ships, Shapeways is a ripoff unless you need 1-3 pieces in total

National Morale:

Each time you capture a new territory you gain 1 morale point.
Each time you lose an original starting territory you lose 2 morale points.

Each VC you capture you roll one D6 and add Morale points.
Each VC you lose you roll one D6 and subtract Morale points.

Every 2 points of Industrial damage causes the loss of one morale point.
Every 2 points of Industrial repair increases one morale point.

You lose you capital you lose double the IPC value of the territory in morale points.

When you morale is below Zero, roll one D6 each turn and if the result is ever less than zero with the modifier added in you have lost the game.

map ordered.

its not worth it to do that. 5,000 round is like $10 bucks

so if its worth it to you to pick up something worth a small fraction of a penny and clean it off, then i guess you can go real cheap.

궁서체 Regular is the font used for AA classic BTW.

@SuperbattleshipYamato everything is now resolved so this never will be brought up again…

have you ever thought about anit-aircraft crusiers.

yes i have they are primary techs under my house rules. Its in the file

I allow then to roll a 1 before combat against planes, like aa guns

good that you point this out

I will study your list and come back
