Best posts made by Valladares

Hello to all. My name is Luis Miguel Valladares Guillen.
In from Costa Rica, and i live in Heredia, Santa Barbara.
I have mix of studies, but at the university i studied Criminology, Geography and Cartography.
My last formal job: Police man. Now i work at home for my family.

Axis & Allies games do you like to play?
I’m new, but at first i find a old first edition of Classic A3 last year, in my country. Now we import at the star of this year Anniversary reprint and Global.

How often do you play? ha, ha, i need more friends and time, but wen we can, we play on Saturdays.
My friends and i, like ww2, so we make house rules for more historical experience.

Do you use any customizations (tables, painted pieces) or house rules?
I painted pieces, but only classic, use solid color. For pieces i combine all A&A pieces, and use the Risk 2008 cities as major I.C. and the red arrows for mark attacks and movements. I search and print new roundels and tokens.

Well nice to meet you….

@Westy said in Introduce or Re-Introduce Yourself (Current):

Nice to meet you

Hey, Hello. Nice to meet you to. And thanks for the proposal, but i live in Santa Barbara, Heredia, Central American Republic of Costa Rica. -he, he, he- Not close to the United States. But if you travel to this topical country (I do not recommend it, this country is not what Goberment say in tourism ads)we can play some day (Mi casa es tu casa).

G40 France Strikes Back

This is a rule for our G40 mode that we are testing, in order to make France a little more relevant in the game, but we think any one can use it .

The Rule:

1- Once Paris is taken by the axis, the treasure of France passes to the enemy, as in OOB rules.
2- Automatically, the de facto capital of France is London, France will be able to add new IPC at the end of its turn, as any nation does.
Note: There is no Vichy vs Free France dynamic. France is a single entity, and it maintains the mechanics of the game simple, and without requiring the purchase or painting of new pieces.
3- France can buy and place infantry in any original territory on the map.
4- France can buy equipment in London, and place it right there, land, sea, air; but, cannot place new infantry in London. France can buy technology dice, ports and airports, for its original territories
5-France cannot produce units in industrial complexes that captures from the enemy, in this case the complexes will take full damage. France cannot buy industrial complexes.
Note: in the territory of France, the same applies, unless France or the allies take parís.
6- If parís is free, it merges into the capital of France again, France will return to the rules of OOB.
7- If Paris is retaken, a second time, the money passes to the conqueror (subsequent reconquests will have the same dynamics). And the capital of France will pass London again, unless it is taken by the enemy.
8-If London is taken by the enemy, and is the de facto capital of France, the IPCs of the two are delivered to the conqueror.

Balance: we have found that in some occasions Italy will have more pressure in North Africa. To counter this, we believe that this rule for Italy should be used to.

Italy Lean-lease: During WW2, Germany sold or licensed equipment to its allies, especially Italy.
1- During its non-combat face, Germany can send to the north of Italy any air unit or ground machines (except infantry) for sale. A maximum of 2 per round.
2- Italy in its face of purchases can buy at half price, the German units on loan. The money is delivered to Germany.
Units are immediately replaced by Italian equivalents for immediate use.

Restrictions: Infantry and ships cannot be sold. Berlin must be in the hands of the axis, northern Italy must be in control of Italy.
Note: If Rome falls, this rule still works, if italy had warbonus tec. In this case, dice need to by the number to pay.

Hello, those are ideas for Charts to track status of IPC and War Declaratios, and have data of the rounds and history for the games. I use the G40 Manual Chart as model!.

A fixed .exe for compatibility and stability, patch.

1.LionheartBlitz a MorgenBlits update:
*Recon Infantry cost increased to $40.
*Unit Cap increased to 70 and redone. Now, individual regiments don’t take up a slot, Troop HQs take up 1-2 slots.
*Buildings cap increased to 40
*Supply Depots cost more and provide a little less money than in Morgenblitz
*Bunkers have more health and do much more damage, but can only target two enemies at a time.
*Artillery Batteries have more hp, def., and damage but less demoralization
*Artillery and AA Batteries have less upkeep
*Ammo and Oil Depots take up no building slots when deployed, but leaving them in a truck takes up a building slot
*Building limit increased to 30. Now Corps HQs take up 4 slots deployed and Airfields take up 2.
*Accurate bonuses from regional buildings(ex. African Refineries provide more oil, USA Banks provide more $)
*All generals now have 4 abilities.
*WWII:Costs for units and upgrades reduced, sides start with more units. Axis now must capture all three enemy capitols to win.
*Special Ops: Atomic Bomb removed, replaced with Carpet Bombing (come on, America only had TWO of the things, why let them drop them like rain every battle? Some other special ops changed (cost, effectiveness, etc.). Kamikazi and Vengence now much more effective, about equal to carpet bombing, to justify their equal XP cost.
Maskirovka and Panzer Hohle now create a full strength medium tank regiment, but the regiment cannot be resupplied. Removedcorps reorg
*Airfields: Now give extra resources rather than drain them, in fact they give the most resources of any of the buildings to make worth their large cash cost (though you get more money from producing several Supply Depots for less cost, see below). Now hold 8 fighters and 4 bombers each.
*Supply depots: Quick sources for cash now. Add +10 to cash income as well as +5 oil and ammo. Cheap and quick way to improve economy as well as strengthen supply lines.
*Carriers: No longer detract from resources, and carry 10 fighters and 4 bombers.
*Battleships: No longer detract from resources.
*Sides: Germany: given major boost, Tiger I and II greatly improved in health, Pz 4 slightly improved in health and attack, can research many more upgrades (infact, non german players should focus on taking out a German player quickly, or the units can become frighteningly powerful).
Japan: Sniper unit greatly improved (range and fire rate improved). Zero moves faster (almost useless upgrade except for scouting). Given more upgrades.
Russia: IS-2 stronger in health. KV I given stronger attack and armor. More upgrades.
USA: Can build marines at all battleships. Airfields have 1 extra bomber and 2 extra fighters.
Great Britain: Best anti-air units in game, with stronger, faster, and more long range attacks. SAS troops have more range and have a slightly stronger attack.
*Upgrades: Schurzen now also increases health of German Tanks, adds resistence to explosives and gunfire, and defence value.
Garand Rifle further decreases reload time. Entrenchment now decreases entrenchment time by 50%.
Mech Reliability now adds 15% health. Regular AT infantry upgrade now adds 15 to attack value. Panzerfaust AT upgrade now adds 25 to attack value.
Coscription now decreases infantry cost by 40%.
Improved Logistics now increases Visability and Supply Zone by 7.5. Marksmanship adds 3 to attack value.
Improved Machine Guns turns Machine guns into scary infantry killers (the way they should be) with a +10 to attack value. Units using sub machine guns benifit from improved machine gun upgrade.
Special Forces is now available to all sides, is cheaper, and adds 15% health.
Military Surplus is cheaper, and available to all sides. Improved Recon adds +10 to sight. Long Range Artillery adds +10 to range and bombard.
Improved Mortars adds +10 damage, and reduces fire time by 25%. Ammunition and Oil Production upgrades now increase each by +10.

2.LT1956’s mod:
*Added Waffen SS unit to the germans. Only display in custome maps
*Bodies & vehicle wreckage do not disappear. Only if you reload a save file they disappear.
*All Regiments fully recruited, so now when you recruit after the build time you get a full regiment, not one man at a time.
*Supply replenish time to take longer, since unts are recruited faster, the supply of these units takes longer.
*Regiments gain Experience faster since it takes a while for units to resupply men.
*Banzai Infantry now have All banzai units in it and Higher Morale.

3.Kurisu’s Anti-Tank and Engineer Paratrooper regiments:
*Adds Anti Tank and Engineer Paratrooper regiments to the game. Only Paradrop option, not deply.

4.Simcardo’s A&A Retexture:
*Reskinned most of the units in game.
*Removed most faction colours.
*Switches the German’s CO tank and Medium tank (so CO is now Pz 3 and Medium is Pz 4)

General Problems:
*Game load will take a bit longer, 2 min at last, but game should run fine after.
*Some random unusual crashes, may happend, so save every 15min of play is recomended.

World War II:
Some times factions ending victory movies don’t play at the end of the war, crashes to desktop.

Multiplayer and custom games, LAN or vsr IA:
*Some random unusual crashes, may happend.

Map Editor:
Wen you trie to write a misión description, do not use ( , ) symbol. or map will fail to load. This is not a error of the mod, but a error of te OOB game it self.

Campain problems:
*Some in game cut scenes have lost units.
*(Allies) Fall of Berlin is too hard, so in mission, Press [Enter] then type any of the following code: swissbank 5000
*Select some buildins can crash the game, see images, those are in: (Axis) Battle of Suez Canal, Battle of Kursk and Invasion of India.

Santa Bárbara’s, G40 Historical, play tested rules (v1.2)

Hello A & A Players: These are the house rules and variants that we are using at home with Axis and Allies Global 1940, to have more historical experience, in this first post, we write rules we play tested, in other posts of this theme we writhe rule ideas.

6° Play Test Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BDQ5XXoyOE

X. Time: Historical research of the powers star locations at January 1° of 1940 is the base for the game time. Rounds, like the combat, is considered simultaneous for each power. Order of play for this 1940 January 1° start, have not change from the original game. There are four modes of play but, only USA and Soviet Union, new order of enter to the war is fixed in all.

Round 01 January - June1940 (Game starts)
Round 02 July - December 1940
Round 03 January - June 1941. U.S.S.R. enter the war in attack face. Finland pro Axis Activation Allowed.
Round 04 July - December 1941. U. S. A enter the war in Attack Face. Mexico and Central America, pro allies activation allowed.
Round 05 January - June 1942. Brazil and Ecuador pro Allies activation allowed.
Round 06 July - December 1942. Modern Heavy Tank Production allowed
Round 07 January - June 1943. Colombia pro Allies activation allowed.
Round 08 July - December 1943
Round 09 January – June 1944
Round 10 July - December 1944 (Japan Kamikaze Special allowed)
Round 11 January – June 1945
Round 12 July - December 1945 (Final round)

We believe that the minimum time that can be adapted each round is 3 months, but in our case that would be to extend the game to 48 rounds…

XX. Modes of play.

1. Victory Cities and capitals: Same of the base global game for the axis and the allies but game max duration is 12 rounds.

2. Historical: Same of the base global game for the axis and the allies, but with year historical restrictions and game max duration is 12 rounds.
   Note: When a capital of the axis is taken, the victory cities that country controls do not count for win.

3. Fuel of War: Axis need to capture and retain 12 of the 25 important producing centers of natural petroleum. SEVEN ROUNDS MAX. Producing centers areas:

1. Neutrals
   We correct some errors that the out of box have. So, like in the real war: Persia is Pro axis, Colombia, Ecuador Liberia and Sierra Leona are pro allies. Persia have 2 more infantry, one in North and one in East, but one less in central. Colombia, Ecuador Liberia and Sierra Leona have one infantry for each one. Sense Romania Kingdom join the war in 23 November 1940, Romania start as deactivated Pro axis with 4 infantry (NO tank). Sense Siam Kingdom (Tailandia) join the war in 25 January 1942, Siam start as deactivated pro axis with 3 infantry. Mexico, Southeast Mexico and Central America, start as deactivated pro Allies, and have one infantry each. But wen activated, only by USA that country gain one Fighter in Southeast Mexico instant of one infantry (this for symbolize the Mexican Pacific Expeditionary force) and in Central America gain one AAA together with the infantry. (this for symbolize leant lease military aid for defense of the Panama Canal). If Brazil if activated only by USA, instant of 3 infantry, they have one fighter and one infantry, for symbolize Brazilian Expeditionary force of ww2. All neutrals who don’t have an army, win one infantry, Portuguese Guinea and Spanish Rio the Oro Gain one infantry each.
   NOTE 1: If Allies Attack Siam this is not considerate and attack to Japan.
   NOTE 2: If any other Allied power activate Mexican and Central American territories this NOT affect the USA national objective “defense treaty and trade obligations”.
   NOTE 3: USA have the control of the Panama Canal no matter if Central America is pro allied deactivated or in other allied control.
   Pro-Axis
   Siam: 3 Infantry.
   Persia: 1 Infantry, Northwest Persia: 1 Infantry, Eastern Persia: 1 Infantry

2. New Territories: in Mediterranean Sea: for France: Corsica Island, I. P. C. value of 0. For Spain: Balears Island, I. P. C. value of 0.New Territory in Baltic Sea, the Sweden’s island of Gotland, I. P .C. value of 0.New Sea Zone 128, the Caspian Sea.
   
   

3. New Victory City in Pacific: Vladivostok, in Amur
   

4. New National Objectives:
   Russia: Theme: “Western Worker’s military aid”. When Soviet Union is at war, during the end of SU turn roll a die for US, UK E and UK P, 1 = 2 I. P. C.,2 = Mechanized Infantry, 3 =Anti-Aircraft Artillery, 4 = Artillery, 5 = Tank, 6 = Fighter.
   To deliver the aid: USA requires Alaska, sea zone 2, 3 and soviet far east not in axis control. Units spawn in Soviet Far East. UK E, requires sea zones 126, 127 free of enemy units and Archangel not in axis control. Units spawn in Archangel. UK P, requires All Persia and Caucasus in allied control. Units spawn in Caucasus. NOTE: If Moscow is in axis hands the objective is still in play. If USA, UKE and UKP capitals are in Axis control, that country can give the help.
   Italy: Theme: “Mare Nostrum”. 5 I. P. C. if Axis control all: Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Malta, Crete and Chipre.

5. Units modifications:
   Anti-Air Artillery: Like in the real WW2 Battlefields, players can choose at the star of a battle if all AAA defend against land units or Air units. Against air, each AAA now use two dice at 1, no need to target, because real flak don’t select, fire in all round of combat, but only to air units, them they can only use as casualties, against land, each AAA defend with one dice at 1 in al rounds of combat, and use as casualties. AAA can’t attack move.
   Air Files and Sea Ports: cost decreased to 10 I. P.C., and don’t star with built in AAA defenses, players need to buy them, cost is the same as regular AAA, defense against Bombers is the same as the normal rules.

9 Other rules

Industrial complex: Wen enemy capture a territory with a Major Industrial Complex, the complex downgrade to a minor one, like in Alfa 2 official rule set. If china capture, or retake, a territory, witch a factory, the factory take full damage.

Bombarding Panama and Suez canals: tactical and strategy bombers can damage it, 3 points goes inoperative, a maximum of 6 damage, 1 I. P. C. for fix 1 damage.

Spanish rule: in real life Franco’s Spain were not a full ally of Axis, but support Axis war with commerce and volunteers, so Spain never goes pro Allies unless a direct attack of Axis power, and goes full pro Axis if Allies make a direct attack; so, to symbolize the historical situation: "as long as there are allied units in continental France or Corsica, European Axis loses 2 I. P. C to bank, one for Germany and one for Italy, if there are no units there, Germany and Italy have one I. P. C. for free from the bank.
NOTE: If Axis control Spain territory this rule stops working. If Allies conquer Spain, Axis Europe surrender to the bank 2 IPC each round, one Germany, one Italy.

Research: WE ADOPT THE Anniversary MECHANICS, we change the place of the technologies so they are more realistic to the dates. During the purchase stage, the research counter (scientific equipment) is purchased with a value of 5 I. P. C, however, it can only be roll BEFORE the purchase-repair stage of the game.
A counter = a die.
A roll of 1 - 5 is equal to failure: the counters can be preserved.
A roll of 6 is equal to success. The list of technology is chosen, a die is rolled again. All counters are lost and must be bought again.

Chart 1940
1 Improved Shipyards, 2 Radar, 3 Paratroopers, 4 Increased Factory Production, 5 War Bounds, 6 Improved Mechanized Infantry.
Chart 1943
1 Super Submarines, 2 Rockets, 3 Advanced Artillery, 4 Jet Fighters, 5 Long Range Aircraft, 6 Heavy Bombers

NOTE 1: if you are in the year 1943 - 1946 you can continue choosing the list 1939 - 1942 if you wish).
NOTE 2: If the capital falls, the counters must be handed over to the conqueror power, and the conqueror acquires the same technologies of the conquered.
NOTE 3: USA can share with China AVENGED ARTILLERY. China can NOT buy counters.
NOTE 4: UK-E and UK-P share the technologies, but they buy counters separated.

Old Research Counter from A&A Anniversary, print at 1,9cm, in decal Paper, paste in cardboard, cut and use.

Bonus Units: Those units represent historical volunteers and partisans, and reinforces. Those units spawn only one time per game, some are special for powers, others can be owned for any member of the alliance that liberated or recapture a region and maintain it at the final of the round.

But wen activated, only by USA that country gain one Fighter in Southeast Mexico instant of one infantry (this for symbolize the Mexican Pacific Expeditionary force) and in Central America gain one AAA together with the infantry. (This for symbolize leant lease military aid for defense of the Panama Canal). If Brazil if activated only by USA, instant of 3 infantry, they have one fighter and one infantry, for symbolize Brazilian Expeditionary force of ww2

Prototipos In the board, note the grey ships down some roundels, they represent neutral armys! In my house rules all neutras have at last one army in area. Mexico and Central america dont star as us territories until us enter war, like in real life.54277943_2259568650974203_8634381967300755456_n.jpg

@SS-GEN ok, i look at them. Thanks man.

Hello. I translate all the cards of the game to spanish, i also make the extra official rules cards and some player aid cards.

@SS-GEN No problem. Sources 1. The Pacific War Online Encyclopedia https://pwencycl.kgbudge.com/O/i/Oil.htm 2.https://wayback.archive-it.org/6321/20160901222852/http://digital.library.northwestern.edu/league/le0280ah.pdf
-Leon in the trenches-, has a video, in YouTube, where he explains rules for making rules, we have taken as an example.
The idea of this Mode / house rules, is to offer a historical 1940 Start, conserving the scale, without diminishing too much the strategic options, and adding few material elements.
Now, I see your point, about the options in Japan. In 2 of the “5” tests, Japanese loses in the long run (by production as in real life), if China and USA play well.
If Germany and Italy manage to defeat Russia and defend Egypt, it is won by cities in Europe.
The tests have been solo and in group, 2 in group (Axis 1 allies 1, win ratio) 3 alone (Axis 2 Allies 1), we want to go through all the rules (and a victory condition) once we have decided on the placement of units in Asia. To make the final post and PDF file.
Then, with time, make an arrangement of pieces for 1 Sep. 1939, and a modification for 1942 oficial Start.
Obviously we are 100% open to corrections, ideas and analysis. Especially because Spanish is our language, and we know that asistid translation can make the rules confusing. I have a level (CEFR) B2 + in reading and C1 in listening, but A- in grammar, so I apologize for my writing errors.

¿Where is the Ecuador line on G40 board? We marked it, as best we can. If you want summer/winter dynamic house rule, this is the geography division, in this board.

@SS-GEN said in G40 Historial Beta:

What Barney posted I have done to neutrals too as far as adding armies but not as much inf. Yes Spain and Turkey in my game have 11 inf each with a fig tank aa gun AB. Destroyer.
In my game for strict neutral influence is where each country can only influence certain neutrals based on where they were at And which countries were trying to get to join them.
So to influence Spain or Turkey cost you 10 icps
And you roll a D20 die and on a 4 or less that strict neutral joins your side. If you get either one your inf are cut in half and you only get 6 plus the rest.
To influence the other stricts it costa you 3 icps and roll same d20 die 4 or less then receive what ever army is there and yes you get the territories value added to your income.
If you really want to get historic then some neutrals just join sides at time of war. A lot didn’t flip until 44. My way is to spice game up a bit every game and has a 30 to 40% games being different with all the other stuff added.
Ya maybe I’ll tweak the neutrals more closer to 100% historic but I don’t see that happening soon.
Testing new Cruiser BB AD values by using 2 different colored dice for each ship.

Interesting idea to adapt to a dice 6. In our modification we only add countries until 1943, historically. In normal mode the aligned neutrals can be activated from the first turn by powers that are legally at war. Since many countries joined the allies at the end of 44 or 45, because they were the winning team, and wanted to get a benefit of post war. In a game where the axis is winning in turn 10, ¿why Argentina or Turkey, would join the allies? Has no sense.

I have adopted your idea of Mongolia, we have decided to give a value of 1 IPC to the capital.

Here I leave you an information that you can use for sea routes and combois.

We continue to test the rules, so far the game has been an interesting challenge. Soon we will be publishing the changes, and a text document, with all the rules tested so far.
Advances:
-Changes in costs: the naval and air facilities will cost 10. The minor industrial complex increases to 15.
-Small changes in the value of some neutral territories.
-Bonus units, for axis and allies, by taking and conserving areas.

Still to be implemented:
-Influence system for strict neutrals. Great ideas and suggestions from the community, encourage us to adopt a basic system of influence of strict neutrals, and be able to make them an active part of the game.
The system will be d6, with countries that could be influenced by both teams, and exlusive countries for one o another, also the option to mobilize them immediately.
-The neutrals can reinforce their armies every 2 turns.
-The extention of the Himalayas, SiredBlood’s original idea, is an idea that will be adopted, since not only is it historical, but it also increases the valance and makes the Mongolian rule more relevant.

The map in playtest 9°

@Imperious-Leader the mod make the game playable. In HK, the chinase revive the game, with a 3gb mod. Some people look the ideas, and last two years they revive the game. And well, like or not, this game have a lot of RTS fans, ¿how will know? :)

Hello, after saving and sacrifices, I imported 2ed Europe, 2ed Pacifico, and Anniversary 2017 (which came home past week).
Well, on topic: I saw on Youtube an example of and expansion for HBG 1936, of Croatia. and the idea of a map overlays seemed great to me.

¿Is there something similar for the G1940 version?

It would be great to have similar map overlays, I could print them on quality photographic paper, simply place them on the map, and make the a “historical” map according to certain events that occur during the game in some areas.

@Gisgo-XVII no problema, i need to writte more carefuly, english is not my primary leguaje. Now, we want to make a new rule, one for Spain, in real life Franco’s Spain were not a full ally of Axis, but suport Axis war with comerce and volunteers, so Spain never goes pro Allies unless a direct attack of Axis power, and goes full pro Axis if Allies make a direct attack; soo, to symbolize the historical situation: "as long as there are allied units in continental France or corsica, European Axis losse IPC to banck, one for Germany and one for Italy, if there are no units there, Germany and Italy have one IPC for free from the bank.

Now i have the 1998 Game, and see the manual and options. Soo, a new version of the document, with little corrections. Have fun.
Feel free to edit or correct it or add new oficial information you find
A&A Classic 3rd Edition v3.5.pdf
This is how the board looks if we translate the PC game to reality.!

Hi lights from the manual of A&A PC 1998, from German to English.
“…new features in the rules of the 3rd edition
1 Diving submarines: defending submarines can dive during the fight or withdraw from the fight. A submerged submarine remains in the same sea zone until it resurfaces after the fight.
2 Air units can withdraw from an amphibious attack: figthers and bombers can retreat from an amphibious attack if the things are shell-dead to the attacker.
3 Several AAA in one territory: you can now place several AAAs on a territory. However, only one of these AAA can fire during defence.
4 New sea units can be placed in disputed sea zones: they can now place their sea units in sea zones occupied by the friend. In this case, the fight takes place during the enemy’s strike, in case the enemy does not draw his unites before the fight from the zone.
Note: you still need to place your sea units in the immediate vicinity of one of your industrial complexes.
5 Western Canada no longer borders directly on the Atlantic Ocean: this prevents a player from moving units from the Atlantic directly to Western Canada…”
