Sounds good i dont see y not. Is it like a massive board or a campaign styled game like Shanghai?

Unfortunatley you are right. Only a small group fought with the UK and Free French Forces. Not enough for a major power.

YES! Thank Sun this with help alot.

Currently alot has been going around on the Variant threads about Axis and Allies Express. This is a collection of mini games that are used for training new players or playing the game on the go. I am currently working on the China Campaigns including the Hundred Regiments Offensive and the Battle of Shanghai. I am however having trouble making the map as i have no good examples. If any one could help me out that would be great! All input is appreciated including gaming ideas, map suggestions, and even construcive critcism. Thank you for your interst.

I would like to take Syria. Also im interested in a Russian-Japanese border skirmish but i already have to much on my plate. Also im having trouble finding good maps for hundred regiments and shanghai. Please PM me any useful maps u may find.

OH! PLEASE CAN I HAVE IT! I’d be excited to do something other than China. Also it will put my French pieces to use. Not to mention if i can work my great great grandfathers people into it (the Czechs) that will be even better.

okay srry. magnetic is a good idea but i wont go that far. i intend to play these as mini games. do u think i could use US or French units for the greeks?

Guys lets make i thread for the Express Games. Im tired of goingfrom East Africa to Greece.

I think its about time I posted on this thread. Im a little confused on certain points. Y include magnetic boards? Also how should i represent greece soldiers and wat r the 12 sided dice for?

@Gargantua:

That or put a nickel on the board.

I dont have enough nickels. How about using pennies? Just my 2 cents worth.

No thats ur 1 cent worth Fish.

@spartan:

Ok to clarify I get Poland you get midway?  :?

If so that sounds good! :-D

Good luck with the Chinese campaigns.  :-)

No i was just kidding. I dont want naval battles. I’ll take two chinese ones. Battle of Shanghai will be in 3 parts by the way. The first involving urban combat, the second is chinese defending a japanese anphibious assault and the last is the chinese retreat. If u win one scenario u get extra troops fo the next.

Alright you can have France. I’ll take hundred regiments and also the battle of Shanghai. Also I see your Poland and I raise you a Battle of Midway.
P.S. Im not Chinese  :-D

Holy crap this is a heated issue. I personally like the idea of adding light tanks. What about using the Heavy Bombers rule only the opposite? Just an idea

INDEED! But im using $100 bills  :-D

Sorry to post way to much but Croesus do you have the rules to East out yet? I can wait to try it out. Also I think for this Hundred Regiments game i will make it to where you need to complete objectives. The Japanese must kill 2/3 of the Chinese for or must operate so many touch and burn operations. The chinese must destroy railroads and capture victory cities. They might also have to destroy the coal mine. The game will be won on victory points. The rules will be similar to D-Day but with no time limit (i hate time limits). Each army will have special abilities. The communist forces can recruit conscripts from cities and villages (only once per town) they can disappear into the wilderness like subs and they can move 2 spaces. The Japanese can use railways for movement and in general get a bigger force. While the chinese have regulars, conscripts, artillery and maybe some tanks, the japanese get infantry, atillery, tanks, and fighters, and maybe bombers.

@spartan:

Ryan you can have France if you want, I would suggest using Auto desk Sketchbook, you can get the lite version off of the mac app store, other good programs include Apple Paintbrush, and Microsoft paint.

No i think something as important as the battle of france should be made by one of you guys. Also are any of these free? I want a program i dont have to pay for. I like ur idea CWO. Sounds interesting if not awesome. I think my plan will be to use that battle along with the Philipines and maybe another chinese campaign. Maybe a game involving british troops.

Good idea  :-D

Wow! Now I know how im goibg to spend my free time. I’d love to make one too. Any suggestions? If someone could help me to decide what tools to do it with that would be a big help. I’m thinking about a China campaign. I love land oriented battles. Its too bad you guys called the good ones. Poland and France? Cmon  :oops:. All well. Throw me some ideas will ya. Also be warned my scope of skill is not high. I can only do so much.  :-)

The only problem I see is how to represent them. What peices are u guys using?

Have we learned nothing from the movie Jurassic Park? Next thing u kno there will be mammoths runing all over the place eating people!
