I’m going tp try this!

I have tried an Ignore the Mediteranean stategy and ended up with an
Allied pond! That pesky British fighter in Malta is a real pain in the neck.
I try to get at the Brit E. Med fleet ASAP. Otherwise I have tyo leave German Garrisons in Yugoslavia, S.Italy, N. Italy and Greece, That’s inf that is needed in the East!

…Wow… :o

I don’t know too much about making peices but years ago
there was a line of Trek minatures for a
Game called Star Fleet Battles. (Am I dating myself here- is this way
too stone age…) They were pretty tiny similar in size to Axis and Allies ships, and made of lead. Unfortunately the ships I’m talking about pre dated the Trek spinoffs,( TNG, Voyager, DS9) so if you can find them, there wouldn’t any Ferengi battle cruisers or Romulan Warbirds…
I think the Game was put out by Steve Jackson Games and the minatures
were probably Ral Partha. About 10 years ago Micro Machines put out an
excellent set of Star Trek minatures. They were plastic and not really to scale with one another (the Enterprise D was the same size as the Borg Cube…) but were still very impressive. You might try a search for them on e bay if you elect not to build them yourself. hope this helps.

Thanks for responding! You say that your group doesn’t do much WD-
have you ever tried free WD rolls? (i.e. you’d roll a die without putting down the $5. aand if you get a six then roll for the WD…) I’m really interested in what other folks do to enhance their games.

in AA world it’s a toss up between Japan and the USA. Japan for all the resons already mentioned by everyone.
I like playing the US because they are sort of an underdog in the world game in terms of units, But once they get rolling… they affect all fronts.
OK I really dig the aircraft carrier and air units too!

You all crack me up! “Ah we get your factory, your aa gun, your money and your women…”

Kinda reminds me of Conan the Barbarian

Thanks again for a very cool link. I am working out adding Italy to AAE for now I 'm using Japanese peices. I have ot set up just trying to figure out the starting incomes…

You rock my man! thanks for the link! Definitely going to get it now!

USA wake Island IC!?!

thanks for responding. WD in the world game is definitely a risk and one that doesn’t always payoff. It really does you no good to get super subs if you are palaying USSR IMHO. What we used todo is start out with one
“free” WD rollm at the begining of the game just to spice it up. So you’d
roll the dice and if you got a six then you’d roll to see what you got. banother time we assigned one WD to each power so USSR got Industrial
technology, GB got jets etc. it made thew game more fun!

have you ever seen the deluxe map from xeno? I’m contemplating purchasing it and some trees…. is it worth the $$$$?

gotcha! thanks!

If you go to the Xeno games website you can purchase extra unit “trees”
in a vareity of colors. I think you get like 5 men, 3 tanks, aa gun, 1 ic, 1 bomber 3 fighters, 3 of all other ships something like that.
I like the idea of having a seperate Italy for AAE. In AA world it’s pointless. No one hass mentioned it so i’l throw it out:
Would ther be a limit as to how many italian units could fight in Russia?
Someone above gave the fleet dispersal for italy and I like that they added an Itaslian Sub and didn’t take away the Battleship. Italian Battleships were pretty modern most being built in the 30’s. Problem was they didn’t have radar or sonar. so as someone pointed out they were at the bottom of the Med rather early in the War-I am goimng to try it.

All for it, folks!
Question: Could You all explain 2 terms used here:
“U.S. shuck shuck” ?
“RR” rule?
Thanks!

i’ve always played the fighter needs to be on the land territory even if bought on the same turn

Thanks for responding. Have you ever tried running AAE or AAP with WD?

I know the rules specifically say no WD or tech for AAP and AAE but how many of you all use WD/Tech rules anyway? I do and find they speed the games up a lot.
Questions comments…. Does anyone “cross over” rules- like adding artillery and destroyes to the original Axis and Allies (1942)?

I have adopted these rules and am really enjoying them. Thanks for posting them!

I don’t recall seeing anything in the rule book which specifically prohibited
building units there. My experience has always been that the U.S. is typically spending all its $$$ In U.S., Hawaii or in any new IC"s built. In our games the U.S. Player usually builds a couple of Armor units, artillery, US infantry maybe another fighter.
