I agree. It was just something I thought I might mention. However, I do believe they would have some troops in Algeria, and you might give them French Equatorial Africa. Again, just a thought.

RE: Help with a Star Trek A&A variantposted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
Thank you for your compliments and the info on the Tholians. I did consider using the Gorn Confederation, but they had no part in the war. The Dominion didn’t even bother to sign a nonagression treaty with them, as they did with the Romulans, Tholians, and the Bajorans. This is the reason why I decided to use the Tholians instead of the Gorn. However, since I know much, much more about Gorn vessels than I do Tholians, I think I’m going to use the Gorn instead of the Tholians. Although, they would have only one sector like the Ferengi, because their space is so small, and they have claim to no other major planets. I’m still very if-ish about using the Borg, because they were in a major conflict with Species 8472 during this time, and even though the Borg Collective is a very big place, much of their resources were having to be diverted to the war with Spieces 8472 because their vessels were being destroyed so easily. However, I will continue to think about it. I am working on rules to use cloaked vessels. Only Romulan, Klingon, and some Cardassian vessels will have the capability. I’m thinking that if any cloaked vessels allies are attacked, they are automatically involved in that battle as long as they are within their range. Example, Warbird being attacked and another Warbird two sectors away that is cloaked is automatically involved in that battle. Similar to the rule that is used in the Star Trek CCG card game. Do you have any thoughts about using something other than paper pieces? Again, thanks for your compliments and I will continue to keep you updated :D .

RE: Strategic Bombing Runs Ruleposted in House Rules
I have no idea how the conversation went from strategic bombing to TG’s sister, but I still think it is realistic for industrial complexes to be destroyed, because if you drop a bomb on them that’s usually what happens. When and if the person builds back that IC we just say that it’s unlimited production again.

I would be interested in hearing some of your strategies and possible house rules once you do have it. Thanks :D .

RE: Adding a nation…posted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
What about Vichy France? I’ve heard people talk about it before, and even though they wouldn’t have much I still think it’s an interesting idea. What do you think?

RE: Help with a Star Trek A&A variantposted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
I will use D6. All infantry will attack at a 1 and defend at a 2. All armored tanks will attack at a 3 and defend at a 2. Here are the ship stats.
Federation- Battleship Class, Soveriegn, Attack 4 Defend 4. Heavy Cruiser Class, Akira, Attack 4 Defend 3. Destroyer Class, Defiant, Attack 3 Defend 3 (Due to its heavy armored hull). Marine Carrier Class (Carries 2 infantry or one armor) , Iwo Jima, Attack 1 Defend 1.
Dominion- Battleship Class, (Due to this vessel’s unique ability to carry fighters, this vessel may carry two Dominion destroyers) , Dominion Warship, Attack 5 (Due to its superior firepower) Defend 4, Heavy Cruiser Class, Alpha Attack Ship, Attack 4 Defend 3, Destroyer Class, Attack Ship, Attack 3 Defend 2, Marine Carrier Class, Dominion Troop Transport (If you know where to get schematics please tell me!) , Attack 1 Defend 1.
Cardassian Union- Battleship Class, Keldon, Attack 4 Defend 4, Heavy Cruiser Class, Galor, Attack 4 Defend 3, Destroyer Class, Hideki, Attack 3, Defend 2, Marine Carrier Class, Janissary, Attack 1 Defend 1.

Romulan Star Empire- Battleship Class, D’Deridex Heavy Warbird, Attack 4 Defend 5 (Due to its superior armor) , Heavy Cruiser Class, Griffin, Attack 3 Defend 4 (It sacrificed maneuverability over firepower) , Destroyer Class, Shrike, Attack 3 Defend 2, Marine Carrier Class, Kestrel, Attack 1 Defend 1.
Breen Confederacy- Battleship Class, Breen Warship, Attack 5 Defend 4 (Due to the superiority of Breen weaponry) Heavy Cruiser Class, the Breen Navy did not have or did not use heavy cruisers in the Dominion War, Destroyer Class, Breen Destroyer, Attack 3 Defend 3 (Due to the superiority of Breen weaponry) , Marine Carrier Class, Breen Troop Transport (Again, if you have the schematics please show me where to find them, thanks) , Attack 1 Defend 1.
Ferengi Alliance- Battleship Class, Marauder, Attack 4 Defend 4, Heavy Cruiser Class, the Ferengi Navy never issued a heavy cruiser class vessel for its fleet, Destroyer, Tokom, Attack 3 Defend 2, Marine Carrier Class Vessel (Again, if you have the schematics please show me where to find them as soon as possible, thanks) , Attack 1 Defend 1.
Bajoran Militia- I am still considering making Bajor and New Bajor part of the Federation since the only navy the Bajoran Militia has is two destroyers and one marine carrier. Its army only consists of 4 infantry, one armor, and also an industrial complex for the industrial part of the game. Plus, it only starts the game with 11 I.P.C.'s, Bajor-6, New Bajor-5. I’ll keep you posted.
Tholian Assembly- I am considering taking the Tholians out of the game because none of their ships have really ever been seen, unless you know of schematics or times that they have been seen. If you have any thoughts on this please speak out.
Starbases will also be involved in the game. Since they have no maneuver capability, they will defend at a 5. Examples of where starbases will be placed are one on Earth (Federation capital) , and one on Deep Space Nine (A major outpost for the Federation, and also a heavily armed and armored facility :D ).
Well, there you have it. I still have a lot of work to do. Since I can’t really find any workable pieces to use, I’m having to make my own paper pieces and I’m really not the best artist in the world :-? . So, I could really use any help possible. Again, if you have any questions or thoughts please tell me of them as soon as possible. I apologize for any spelling errors.

RE: Help with a Star Trek A&A variantposted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
In 2371 (I believe) the Bajorans established a colony in the Gamma Quadrant named New Bajor. It was later destroyed by the Jem’Hadar, so this gives the Dominion a tempting target at the beginning of the game 8) .

RE: Help with a Star Trek A&A variantposted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
I just realized something. There were no Star Trek miniatures ever made for the Breen or Tholians and maybe, maybe not Bajorans. So if you have any other suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks.

RE: Help with a Star Trek A&A variantposted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
Thanks for all the help. Yes I have heard of Star Fleet Battles and it did look a little ancient to me. I have a few Star Trek miniatures ( Borg Cube, Ferengi Marauder, Federation Shuttle ) but that’s not enough to make a war board game. So thanks for all the links on where to buy them. The board is based on the book Star Trek: Star Charts which is an official atlas to Star Trek so yes the Romulans, Klingons, and Federation all border each other. I will not include the Borg because they had no involvement in the Dominion War and not a general war because the Dominion War signed a peace treaty with the Bajoran Militia and the Tholian Assembly. Plus, the Romulan Star Empire and the Breen Confederation did not join the war till late in the war. Yes, I will inlcude ground troops, marine carriers, and futuristic armored tanks. Planets on the board will act as islands and the troops and armor will need marine carriers to land on them. Thanks again for all of the help and I will continue to keep you all updated on this game.

Help with a Star Trek A&A variantposted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
I was wondering if anyone can help me with making pieces to a Star Trek A&A version that I’m making. It takes place in the Dominion War and involves the Federation, Dominion, Cardassians, Klingons, Romulans, Ferengi, Breen, Bajorans, and Tholians. I don’t know if there are any Trekkies on here but I would appreciate any help given :D .

RE: Adding China…posted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
Sounds good. But, on East and West, China is a full country in the game, even though it starts out neutrally. You can get the full map of East and West at www.impgames.com. It’s copyrighted, but you can kinda get the idea what it looks like 8) .

RE: East and West IIposted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
Is absolutely no one familiar with this expansion?

RE: US IC in FIN/NORposted in Axis & Allies Classic
Yeah I do think that’s a really good idea, because it gives the Americans a place to stage the invasion of fortress Europe other than London, and it also keeps them from having to bring all of their newly purchased units all of the way from Eastern U.S.A.
