I’m just glad that others can use it. Bob’s charts were always my favorite. I’ve been thinking about redoing the setup charts as well. Would that be useful to anyone?

Glad you like it!  :-D

@Young:

Doesn’t surprise me considering the lack of ambition from Larry’s team to fix the issues with 2nd edition. Ironically they don’t need to manufacture a whole new game, but rather just release an official rule modification document.

Sorry for being in the dark on this one, but I’ve been away from the forums for some time.  I just barely bought the 2nd edition and have yet to play it.  But what exactly are the issues with it?  I’ve been spending a lot of time working on setup charts for the 2nd edition.

It would be good to know what I am missing.

OK I made a new chart here based off Bob_A_Mickelsons original chart for the first edition.  I had to make a few adjustments.  Check it out and let me know what you think.  If anyone sees any errors or has any suggestions I’d love to hear them.

It seems most of the errors are with the National Objective bonuses.  Below is a quote from that thread.  Also, France is missing from the turn order.

@Spirou:

@knp7765:

Missed one NO for Germany: +5 IPCs for Axis control of the Caucasus.

Also, on the Chinese NO symbol, I wondered why you didn’t have the crossed swords and the little Japanese symbol on that one.
I also noticed none of your US NOs had any Axis symbols. The first and third US NO should have all three Axis symbols in them, the second and fourth should have just Japan’s symbol and the fifth should have Germany and Italy.

thanks for the comment, I’ll add the missing NO.
The chinese symbols: it correlates with how the NO is described in the rule-book, but you are actually right, it doesn’t really make sense
The US symbols: seems like I forgot those, I’ll add those as well, as soon as I get to it

Looks like Spirou is working on some great charts here http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=32112.msg1217270#msg1217270.  But they seem to have a couple errors.  What’s the protocol on fixing someone else’s work?  Should I try and contact him first, or should I just try and fix it on my own?

I recently picked up the second edition of this game and have been looking for compatible resource charts, like Bob_A_Mickelson’s AAG40 Charts.  They were very nice.  I loved how the setup charts help detail everything out, since I only get to play a couple times a year.  Also, the production chart was very nice as it had the bonuses and tech board all built into one.  Does anyone know if there’s anything out there similar for the second edition?  Everything I’ve found so far are for older versions of the game.

Does anyone know where I can find some decent setup charts for the second edition?

I think what I am going to do is use Bob’s chart and then make copies of the roundels to move on a separate layer on top of it all.  I want it to be readable and appealing at the same time.  I was just hoping there was an easier way to do it already out there.

Sorry if this is somewhere else, but I haven’t been able to find it so far.  I am looking for something similar to Bob_A_Mickelson’s AAG40 Charts & Aids National Production, National Objectives, and Tech Chart, but in software form.  This board is for the global 1940 game.  I want to display that board on a tv where we are playing.  This board gets bumped around while we are playing and the pieces always get moved.  Also it’s hard for everyone to see.  I figured if it was on a tv it would be much easier.  Anyone know if something like this exists, and if so where I could find it?

Awesome.  Thanks for everyones help!

For Pacific 1940 I was using the anti aircraft pieces from my old Axis and Allies game.  But now that I have Europe 1940 there aren’t enough pieces and I really don’t want to use the card board ones that come with the game.  Where is the cheapest place I can get replacement parts?  Ebay doesn’t have any of these particular pieces.  If I have to buy another game which game is the least expensive that has them in it?  I’ve tried Google but can’t seem to find which game has what pieces in it.

I take it I want to order the Bgd Blue Armies Capital and 15 Gray Cities?

It doesn’t count if a destroyer is present to cancel out all the special abilities subs possess.

Ok after reading that I believe it cleared up all the questions I had.  It makes a whole lot more sense now.  Thanks for your help guys.

Just bought this game and am loving it.  I’ve only played 1 game so far and the thing that still has me really confused is who can declare war and when.  Can someone explain that to me or point me to a thread that explains it better?
