@Me109:

is A&A 1940 global really worth it??? i heard it cost between 120$ and 180$.

yes

I personally will tell every single AA gamer and ww2 modeler I know about these sets. Thank you so much for just attempting to make this happen.

me too  :-)

I would pay thirty dollars (not including shipping or discount code) if each nation came with some roundels and combat dice

@calvinhobbesliker:

How about a Mediterranian theatre game?

Check under house rules, someone already made a very good Mediterranean game
@The:

Hi everyone

Thunda down unda is nearly finished I will post the finished map soon.
I’m wondering what do you want as my next map project???

I think that Afghanistan or Vietnam would be cool, its something different and fun
@The:

Base map for a Stalingrad/Urban Afghanistan map

It will use a square map system like the hex system but with squares

I would actually prefer if hexes were used they seem to work better in most games than squares

@Shakespeare:

$40 per set including shipping, I don’t think so.

I agree this does seem kind of steep any chance that the price will be lower for any of the future sets?

@DrLarsen:

How do we know what our AAA.org discount code is?

The $5 off code is Rommel

me and one of my friends thought of a game like that last year, we were going to try it of the revised board but it was to small, now that global has come out we are planning to play this game soon!  :-D

here is a good NA I found for the USSR:

• Guard Tank Regiments: The Soviet Union used heavy tank regiments as guards of Moscow. These were elite tank formations, invulnerable to any standard anti-tank weapons available of that time.
  Your tanks in cities (Leningrad, Moscow and Stalingrad) defend on a 4

its another house rule that I had dug up in another forum that allows artillery to “shell” or bombard an adjacent territory for 1 ipc per shot

I really like the techs that you came up with danny boy, i really like the seabee’s NA (my grandpa was a seabee in ww2  :-))and the American Soft power NA however I think the mighty missouri NA might be to powerful and I would suggest either making the battleship a three hit unit or hit on five, overall very good though.

This is a tech chart that my group uses that we found somewhere else on this forum and for the most part did not make although there have been a few small alterations, some of the rules involve other house rules we sometimes play with and therefore can be replaced with any of the extra rule at the bottom or some of the techs from denbushisan.

Anyways here is our tech chart

Description:

Super transports - Each of your Transports may now carry a weight factor of 4.

Super submarines – Subs get +1 attack.

Heavy Battleships - Each of your battleships roll 2 dice instead of 1 (this includes shore bombardment)

Stealth Submarines – Defending submarines may retreat from combat before any attack is made (subject to normal retreating rules)

Jet Power – Fighters defend on a five

Folding Wings - Up to 3 of your Fighter units may land on your Aircraft Carriers

Strategic Fighters – Fighters can now be used to perform Strategic Bombing Raids on IC’s (damage is the following:  1-2 = 3 IPCs, 3 = 6 IPC’s, 4-5 = 9 IPC’s, 6 = 12 IPC’s)

Bomber Sights – All bombers attack at 5 or less

Industrial Technology - Every ground unit’s production cost is reduced by 1 IPC.

Improved Barracks – Barracks may now produce Light Artillery and Jeeps.

Expanded Conscription - Receive 2 infantry units during the “Place New Units” phase on each of your turns

Foreign Legion – You may build 1 infantry per turn on territories that do not contain IC’s as long as they have at least an IPC value of 2

Expanded Naval Production – All ships cost 2 IPC’s less

Expanded Aircraft Production – All aircraft cost 2 IPC’s less

Nuclear Tech – Allows you to begin producing Nukes.

Heavy Tanks – All tanks attack at 4 or less

Trench Warfare – All infantry units defend at 3 or less

Tank Bunkers – All tanks defend at 4 or less

Super Land mines – All land mines defend at 2 or less

Super Armor – All tanks now require 2 hits to kill

Propaganda – You persuade a neutral country to allow you to fly your planes over their country and move your forces through their country providing they don’t end their turn in a neutral country.

Lend Lease – You may build one unit a turn for any one of your allies (units built are of his color and they appear on any of his IC’s ready for use in his turn) or any one of your allies may build one unit a turn for you.

Patriotic Fervor - Once, now or in the future, you may add 10 infantry to your build (these units must be built from your capitol and this may be rerolled)

Thanks Larry for the best Axis and Allies game ever, keep up the good work! :-D

your strategy sounds pretty solid, i like it, perhaps I will try it in my next global game  :-D

oh yeah definitely the best axis and allies game to date :-D

Culvers  8-) :mrgreen: :-D :-)

these are great my group has been playing with a very similar tech chart form an earlier thread for some time except ours has 6 tech categories and a few really good techs, if you want I can post it later, overall very good job though I really liked the air to surface rockets!  8-)

hey IL do you think that spies could be represented in the special army rules too  :?

my group does a neutral auction on turn three where each major power has to put a bid on each neutral nation the winner of the bid gets to spend the ipcs that they and other players bid along with the value of the territory and one (or two) ipcs per infantry the territory is supposed to get, if everyone bids zero on a territory it becomes a super neutral and can no longer enter the war at any point in the game.

hey check out this forum, it has a lot about possible rules for railways
