I’m sorry I don’t understand what each player represents, are you different middle eastern countries or maybe international peace organizations.

Because if your something like the UN or a NGO shouldn’t your goals be to protect terrorist safe heavens and combat ethnic cleansing with non-violence

And if your suppose to be a Middle Eastern country wouldn’t your goals be to blow stuff up( I mean a dictator is little more than and A&A player that turns fantasy into reality)

Or are you God because he would just flood everything and start over

@Jermofoot:

Shut up, commie.

:lol: :lol:
I think PD should be brought back fer sure

The game plays a little like Flames of War. So I’ve heard anyway.

It’s kind of like a lighter version of Squad leader. The game also has event cards that add a little twist to each senario.

It breaks down like this, sort of.

each side alternates moving 3 bases each time until there are on units left to move.
each base has an attack and defense value whether thats 0 or 4 or whatever.
Firepower is a certain amount of d6s. Like a mg42 is 4 dice. Each 5 of 6 scores a hit.
The defender rolls their defence dice cancelling each hit against them with a 5 or 6.
Terrian, armor and fortifications account for most defence, Although there are cards that may impact that as well.
It’s pretty straight foward and fun.
There are couple things I don’t like about it and that is the lack of anti-tank guns and machine gunners, if given opp fire, can shoot at every single unit thats moves provided it has line of sight.

:-o
I think that the hardest thing for most people is that the breakthrough tanks have the ability to conquer a huge amount of real estate. But, more than likely, they will be destroyed by a counter-attack next turn anyway. So there is the trade-off, a temporary delay in the territory for the loss of a tank unit.

Thats great either way. If you change your mind latter I offer an invitation for that too.

If your selling them they have online companies that print 52 deck of cards with any information you want. They are poker quality cards.

Well i choose another way to make my map.

I bought a world map (4 x 6). -$30.00-

I repainted the territories with oil paint except the ocean ( Because the ocean has the proper blue color) -$10 for the oil paint-
Than I recovered the whole map with a clear self-adhesive vinyl to protect the map and bingo!

AL.

Hey gang, I started a new site for Axis and Allies.  I know you all have a ton of stuff for Axis and Allies.  I want to make it as comprehensive as possible so if there is anything you think I should include let me know.

Thats perfectly cool dude.  I have no time to play A&A during the school year.  Play it out and let me know.  I have a feeling artillery might be a bit too powerful on my board.  Just out of curiosity what else are you thinking of tweeking.  Where is your blog?

the AARHE tread is also stickied

yeah smaller territories with the World at War variant

starting with OOB you actually want to WEAKEN SBR rules
you can make German bleed in a way thats too powerful for both gameplay balance and realism

hitting things during production is a great idea
it doesn’t make sense to be able to destroy IPC at an unused IC
but I wouldn’t make it actual units but remain as IPCs

its not easy to make a nice rule for OOB though
the income and production is all messed up by the USSR,Germany,UK,Japan,US play order

Jennifer, that 67% idea would be great for a 1940 scenario

Imperious Leader, we could do something like…

IC has 3X IPC income capacity limit (currently our project has it at 4X)

you can upgrade an IC but playing the cost of a new IC in that territory (recall this is dependent on VCP/population)
so Germany for example is quite cheap to upgrade, only 5 IPC

cant u have the german fighters strafe when the axis attack u could resolve fighter combat like reg combat but have it 3 or less

@Imperious:

yes but its fun to have at least some units or its a turkey shoot…which what it was anyway.

Well, it is a turkey shoot. At 3 to 1 disadvantage Germany has barely enough to cover one of their key supply hexes.

I like the BOTB syle mech infantry with the truck peice. A Truck unit can be bought for 4IPC. It than can carry 2inf or 1inf and 1Art or just 1Art Like a “land” transport. It has know attack or defense value itself. We already have them for U.S. and Germany if you have BOTB. That only leaves USSR and U.K. and Japan. Just paint the U.S. truck U.K. and Russia colors because the U.S. provided many trucks to those countries anyway. Japan never really had much mech inf anyway but you could paint the German one Jap Orange or Jap Red whatever you prefer.

This is what I have from 1 starter and 7 boosters
1 MAS 7.5 mm Rifle
2 Renault R-35
1 Commissar
1 KV-1
4 Mosin-Nagant 1891/30
1 T-34/76
3 6 Pounder Antitank Gun
2 Humber Scout Car
3 Inspiring Lieutenant
2 Royal Engineers
1 SMLE No.4 Rifle
3 Vickers Machine-Gun Team
3 Bazooka
1 Jeep
3 M1 Garand Rifle
1 M18 Hellcat
1 M3 Lee
4 M4A1 Sherman
1 M4A3E8 Sherman “Easy Eight”
2 Marines M2-2 Flamethrower
2 Mortar M2
2 Red Devil Captain
1 Light Mortar
4 Mauser Kar 98k
3 MG42 Machine-Gun Team
2 PAK 38 Antitank Gun
3 Panzer IV Ausf. G
4 Panzerfaust 30
1 Sd Kfz 222
3 SS Hauptsturmführer
4 SS-Panzergrenadier
1 Tiger I
4 47mm Type 1 Antitank Gun
1 Type 89 Mortar

I intend to use the Jap 47mm ATguns as Russian 45mm AT guns until they release a Russian AT gun unit. Also The UK AT gun can substitute for the US 57mm AT gun. Shermans and Lees can be used by both the UK and Russians as they were Lend-Lease items.

Yeah I recall seeing some photos somewhere on the internet.

Someone traced a real map.
Painted it on a huge piece of wood. A0 or A-1.  :mrgreen:
