we are omitting that shutting off US NOs means they are at minimum income all game. A different game for sure…but probably not an Allied advantage

I agree on that.
The US needs any IPC they can get!
I played a few games with minimum income for the Allies. You will unlikely win. The Allies depend on the NO’s, so does the Axis powers.
You may experiment with diffrent NO’s or change them, but shutting them off is not a good idea Imo.

We play with NOs off except USA +30 when at war. It works great for us. Give it a try.

👍

So Angola is a territory of Portugal. Does Angola spawn 2 units? Or does Germany just take it?

Played about 25 games. 23-2 record against my father in law. He never surrenders!

Has anyone ever made up a cheat sheet for rules covering the basics for newbies? My son is having a few of his friends over this weekend to play and I thought something like this would be helpful.

@Flashman said in Where WOTC got the idea for this game…:

Surely Axis and Allies and Aliens would have been more interesting, with the humans gradually adapting alien tech and reluctantly co-operating against them but with a view to ultimate victory.

And I’ve got zombies already; I want little green aliens with ray guns.

Harry Turtledove is an author who writes alternative history books. I enjoyed this one. You may already know about him though.

Could you list the games?
The pic is too blurry

@Dauvio:

Nice job, and nice paint schemes. I really enjoy your presentation.

I myself don’t like the Italian, and Russian color schemes. So i change their colors. For Italy is bright green because their flag has green in it. For Russia is red because of the red army. I should use your color scheme for ANZAC.

Red Russians is a great idea.

The Italian brown has always bothered me too. My father in law, who is in his 70s, is constantly confusing the Russians for Italians and vice versa. They should have just switched the Italians and ANZAC colors and it would have been fine.

1.Click on bomber
2. Click on fighter
3. Click on territory with industrial complex

I was sending bomber and fighter seperately which was probably the problem

Thanks

One other thing I noticed is that there were no escorts for the raids allowed. If I used a fighter there was no option to escort. Also there were no defending fighters in the battle to shoot down any bombers. Is it an optional rule that you have toggle on?

I noticed the map options with all the options. Is there someplace that explains each one?

Never noticed that +2 to bombing raids!
Any idea why they added that?

I downloaded triple A just fine, started a game, but with a few issues….
1. I was Italy, I attacked British navy in sea zone by Egypt. I brought a CV, destroyer and 2 planes which came from a land territory. I win the battle and I planned on landing my planes on the carrier. But it would not let me. It kept saying I cannot stay in a sea zone even though I had a carrier???
2. The Americans attack sea zone 6 (japan). It asks me to use kamakazis. I use them all and the game freezes. It’s like the battle board isn’t there and I have to go back a step and save the game and then load it again. It works after that and shows my kamikaze hits but then in later rounds it shows I have 6 kamikaze left to use.
3. I SBR Russian factory with 3 Japanese strategic bombers.
I get through the AA fire but then notice I roll 8,5,8 for totaldamage of 21. 8? How did I roll an 8? Tech is not on. What’s going on here???

Help?

$250!!??

I got my 72”x33” map printed for $67.

You need to shop around. I used yelp and asked for quotes from about 5 print shops.

Start here. Mostly global maps and an AA50 map I believe.
Also check out siredblood�s map. Gorgeous map with a different look.

In 1914’s forum Imperious Leader has a map stickied there that I may print next.

Thanks Tjoek. Interesting stuff. Always thought it was 2nd edition. Important stuff there so it’s good.
Probably be playing on this beautiful board Friday night.

The spelling errors are nothing that I will worry about.
In 1st edition map sea zone 5 is connected to Korea. This map is not which leads me to believe it’s 2nd edition. What is the territory change for Canada? I have the 1st edition board in front of me but my 2nd edition is at in-laws house.

Maybe this? Larger file
Looks a bit clearer

Geez, that was easy. Thanks p@nther.
