@i:
what do you mean by main land??
He painted two different schemes for the Anzacs. I imagine he’s doing the same for the Japanese. One set, the mainland set, will be used to attack China and India. The other set, will be the ones attacking the US and Anzacs. This is my guess.
Is there an echo in here……?
And of course, the one playout I detest the most… Japan pushes to Moscow :roll:
1. No allied units can enter USSR territory unless Moscow falls.
2. Japan can not attack USSR unless USSR attacks Japan first.Problem solved.
I like it!
Here is my solution using bits from the older games. I used paint for mine since I painted the whole thing but I bet a Sharpie would work too if you don’t have the time to paint.
Someone will make a larger Map if the 1940 Europe game does not have big enough territories to hold pcs.
The crunch has occured in Europe in the past
Yes, this is my concern as well. But no worries. As we have seen in the past, if there is a big enough issue with TT size and enough people complain, our talented artists here at AA.org will produce some beautiful jumbo maps for us to print out and all will be right with the universe.
You talented folks know who you are :wink:
what are the “task force” boxes for?
and why are there numbers on the tokens?
If a force in a particular zone/territory gets too large to fit there, you place a token in the territory (i.e. #1) and then move the force off the board within view of all players and place it on the corresponding card (i.e. TF#1). It was introduced in Revised but needed most in AA42.
What’s the best way to have these made? Printing or having them made
I wanted to ask the exact same thing. Are you just printing them on card stock or should I take the files to kinkos and get it done that way? It seems like someone was talking about this in another thread…any input on what’s working for you is much appreciated.
Thanks for your work Bob, looks great.
Here is my reply from the other thread:
@Variable:
I am curious as to how you guys are printing/mounting these. What kind of paper are you printing it out on or are you guys taking it to a Fedex and having them do it. Just wanting some opinions/options before I get them printed out.
I used my home printer to print onto glossy photo paper. Then I used a spray adhesive to back it with a black, 1/4" foam core board. The result is very beautiful and durable. Just be careful not to get photo paper wet AT ALL. If this is a concern, use a good quality heavy weight paper. It won’t be glossy but it will hold up to a little moisture.
FMG- The unit list in the update thread seems a bit out of date with the other things that have been talked about here. Can you list the unit types that will now be included with each army set? Here’s what I remember:
Infantry 1
Infantry 2
Commander
Mech Inf (half track)
Artillery
Tank 1
Tank 2
Fighter
Tac Bomber
Bomber
Carrier
Battleship
Cruiser
Destroyer
Sub
Transport
Bunker/Blockhouse
Still hoping to see an answer to this…
So we are taking a leap of faith here arent we?
I don’t think of it as another game. I think of it as the second installment payment on a game called A&A Global 1940. It’s like the Civil War Chess Set where you pay like $20 a month to get the next piece. Luckily, this doesn’t cost that much…
I’ve done a trade for almost all the stuff I need which cost me my red Japanese. The only thing left I could use is maybe a few more BBs or maybe even some Xeno French pieces if I get that picky about my blue colored pieces versus paint. Let me sort out what I’ve got and I will let you know. I may need to play test a couple times…
Yep, I will vote for Japan next too.
Free sub? Better tanks?
Those were probably house rules?
Yes, I don’t recall these either. I know in D-Day the German tanks were better on defense than the Allied ones, but that’s the only OOB example I can remember.
@C_Strabala:
Thanks for the update Bob! I cannot wait to use your new charts when they are finished. These are of much better quality than anything produced by WotC.
Yes they are. I’ve been using your other stuff for a few games now and appreciate having it.
Are these the WOTC play testers? They only used 6 Japanese tac bombers and misspelled strategy… stratagy.

Sure you can clean the bathrooms at WoTC.
I don’t know how to be a zoo keeper…
Before we get in trouble… stay on topic.
@Brain:
Planing to purchase them next pay period
That could be a long time if you don’t have a job.
I need a job so I can buy essentials… you know food, water, E40. Anyone got any openings?
It looks like 1 vs. 1. It’s also very reminiscent of Battle Cry. I’d be down to try it as I used to play the old Scotty Bowden miniatures rules. But another $100 will likely get me divorced right now :-P
Can’t seem to get it to work with showing the hits and what not, any advice?
I typed ;aaa 3@1; for 3d6 at a 1 to hit. Replace semi-colon with a colon.
Rolls: 3@1; Total Hits: 03@1: (3, 2, 5)
