I have a question about these “Express” games. Are they going to be tactical level games like the A&A Miniatures type games? Or are they more along the lines of A&A Battle of the Bulge, Guadalcanal and D-Day?
It depends on which mini game your talking about. Most will be like D-Day,Guadalcanal,and Battle of the Buldge. We dont currently know if there will be any tactical ones.
Alright my way of making this will to make a map,print it,play it, then edit. So right now im working on setup. I want to represent the real amount of men involved in the campaign. Thats means no reinforcments or made of troop numbers. In the campaign both sides werer pretty evenly matched. However ive run into a major snag. Should units reprsent battalions or regiments/brigades? in the latter there will be about 23 british troops and 1 maybe 2 french troops. But if we go with the former then the ammount of pieces on the board will be enormous! Give me your input.
ya. ill still use my board though.
HA! Bruce i just looked at the system and i have barely a clue how to work it. ill try to use it for dice and the Japanese side of the board but for the europe side ill use my own board.
Awesome. So your keeping it to just one territory? Will german reinforcments be able to enter play from there?
ha! i didnt kno thats alot of people for a AA game. I thought it was called “Global” for a reason.
hey reloader wat did u use for your version of the map? it looks like Paint
U mean this monday? The 7th or the 14th?
Alright I have made a VERY ROUGH edition of my Syria&Lebanon Campaign. Most territories (excluding Iraqi territories, trans Jordon territories, and The Duck’s Bill) are named after cities found on the Syria map on the wiki page CWO found. I used Microsoft Paint to make it. I included few sea zones as sea battle was little use in the syrian campaign. However the player that controls the sea can use it to ferry troops around. The lines you see between territories are rails, rodes, and tracks (i guessed they meant paths). Because Syria is mainly desert these are used for movment. Im not totally sure how it will work but I havent focused on the rules much. Also I am dropping the Chinese campaigns (srry to those who got excited about them) and i will work on operation market garden. I prefer the European and African theaters.

Cool. youll need a bigger board though. How can u show the invasion of an entire country with just one territory? (well i guess they did do it with france :lol:)
Hello everyone. This is the second topic I’ve started for Axis and Allies Express. This game has to do with Operation Exporter as mentioned above. Though it is more commonely known as the Syria-Lebanon Campaign. It has to do with British Colonial and Free French Forces attacking and occupying the Syria-Lebanon area. For more information go to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria-Lebanon_campaign
I will be posting progress reports on my status on the game every few days or so. If anyone was any input (bad or good) please reply. I will need all the help I can get to complete this latest edition to Axis and Allies Express. Thank for taking the time to read this post. I will post my first map soon.
sure. but if possible id like to have more people. maybe six if you can muster that many.
Alright. when can we expect the semi final completion of the rules? a rough estimate at the least

Ummm Im gonna drop the Chinese ones to take up some of these. I call Operation Market Garden. CWO i think you deserve a full mention and credit in the creators of this game. Without you half of this wouldn’t have been possible. Well it would but it wouldn’t have been as good.
