  Concerning Strategic Bombing and Total Victory conditions:

  Important:
  The Total Destruction Victory rule makes it possible for the attacker to conduct Strategic Bombing against any Industrial Complex – and damage this facility unlimited.

  Example:
  The Industrial Complex in Western Germany has 35 Damage Points.
  The UK player conducts a Strategic Bombing raid against this Industrial Complex – and ads further 9 Damage Points to this facility.

  This is a video detailing my Axis and Allies 1940 Set with Renegade Map, Custom 3-d pieces, Flag control Markers, Armada/Army Flags/Cards, Custom plywood boxes with sliding lids to store flags, Decks of Quick Reference Unit Cards, Loads of Custom Dice etc.

  The video is “.mov” so if its not playing, download QuickTime.

  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GxGgH6jGqcu6PbsRg7ktOJ5ocUGlo7ko/view?usp=sharing

  PM me for further info, the game will ship UPS, payment will be Zelle

  It’s an awesome set with lots of pieces and cards with ease of use and ease of play in mind. (And getting rid of all the fiddly cardboard pieces!). The dice are really fast and fun. I hate to see it go but I’m moving on and she deserves new players to love her!

  Even if you already have a set - there are sooo many custom pieces, map and dice with custom card decks etc, it is worth taking a look!

  @The_Good_Captain Here is the “Phase 1: Advance Convoys” section of the rules in the latest version of the Rulebook (which I don’t believe has yet been posted):

  All of your reinforcement land units and supply tokens in the Casablanca and Mediterranean convoy sea zones must advance into the corresponding ports now (with two exceptions, see below). You must also move your air units in those same convoy sea zones up to 2 spaces to land in friendly-controlled territories (possibly including the convoy’s destination port). Any air units that cannot land are immediately destroyed. The presence of enemy units in the convoy sea zone does not interfere with this movement.

  On the United Kingdom’s turn, land and air units and supply tokens in the Suez Canal convoy sea zone advance to Cairo, while sea units there advance to sea zone 31.

  Movement out of the above convoy sea zones in this phase doesn’t count against these arriving units’ movement allowance (see “Land Unit Movement," page 15, and “Air Unit Movement” and "Sea Unit Movement,” page 16), so they may move and fight normally in the remainder of your turn.

  Sea units do not move with convoys into ports. They only move under their own power.

  On the UK’s turn, all of the units in the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean convoy sea zones must then follow the arrows and advance into the next convoy sea zone. These units may not move further in this or any other phase of the same turn.

  Exception: If a convoy arrival fills the destination port to capacity (the stacking limit, see page 10), any excess land units are stuck in the convoy sea zone until there is room for them to arrive in a future turn (assuming they survive until then). To avoid overloading a port territory, you may wish to hold reinforcements for later convoys (see “Phase 6: Deploy Reinforcements and Assign Convoy Escorts,” page 25), but if you are sure you’ll take some convoy losses, sending excess units might work out.

  As you can see, air units in the Suez Canal convoy sea zone must advance to Cairo.

  Howdy, you get what you put into it, the figure cards reminds me of the minis, in the old Buck Rogers in the 25th. Century Game.
  You can always House Rule the game, to one’s delight. I plan to RoundRobin it, in the near future(another post, another day).
  I already gotten some minis from my old die casts Triacs and Vrocs sets.
  Adding to the game fighter bombers, hover copters, VTOL Fighters that operate from the Cruisers, Recon. Jeeps, and, a “Sour Grapes” land missile carrier.
  You can order the Bucket of Modern Air and Sea Forces, where you can pick up some nice nuke attack submarines.
  Also APCs and Hover tanks, from Fortress America and transports from A&Allies Games.
  Supplements of Forces will add more spice to your gaming, it work wonders for the old Buck Rodgers game.
  My RoundRobin will only use the original units of eight, that came with the game.
  After all Zvezda used the Command and Colors system quite nicely for some of their games.
  G.I. Joe powered by Axis and Allies rules will go quite nicely, give it time.
  Who knows what the future brings, Lord of the Rings Battle of the Five Armies powered by Axis and Allies would be interesting, thanks, Pellulo

  @Krieghund Thank you for the swift reply. I don’t think that thought crossed my opponent’s mind (we usually play Global, so the idea of attacking Germany…and leaving oneself open to counterattack…is not on the radar).

  Zombies is a different game.

  @miked

  Hi miked

  yea the blocker is to prevent an attack. You can move in ncm into that SZ, if it’s been cleared but any occupied SZs can’t be moved into.

  So your main Fleet can’t defend against your opponent’s Fleet, you put a blocker preventing him from attacking your Fleet.

  He sinks your blocker but can’t move into your main Fleet SZ.

  Hopefully you can reinforce to withstand a future attack or withdraw and block again until you can fight on at least equal terms.

  Hi

  You can Bombard if you ignore the Trprt and or Sub. If you bring Air in to attack the Trprt, it creates a Naval Battle. You can’t bombard during a Naval Battle.

  @Overkill said in Playing 1941 with Zombies Board:

  We’re planning to play through all A&A games in 2026… 1941 is the only version of A&A that we don’t have (and nobody is interested in buying). The 1941 looks very similar to the zombies board…

  Are the territories/boarders for 1941 identical to Zombies? Are the Industrial Complex location/types identical? Are all the territory values the same?

  There are some small differences between the boards. The most important is the recruitment centers (infantry only factories) in India and Sinkiang.

  You can just play the game without the Zombies. You can download on TripleA with the map, “Zombies-World War 2” and then play World War 2 v7.

  Maybe it’s just me, but I think the penalty for Allies attacking neutrals should be way more severe. Like more money or money each time an ally attacks a neutral. Perhaps each Axis player gets so many militia units.

  “The Outsider” - Decades before ‘Flags of our Fathers’ this 1961 film follows Ira Hayes from basic training, to Iwo Jima, and the years following the war. Gain an appreciation of Ira’s demise as survivor’s guilt is thrust into the hero’s spotlight.

  To compute EV profit for all sub-problems, the recurrence relation is:

  EV(i, j) = profit of state i attackers and j defenders. profit(ii, jj, i, j) = the incremental profit for moving from state (i, j) to (ii, jj). p(ii,jj) = probability of reaching state ii,jj from i, j EV(i, j) = sum( all next states ii, jj) { p(ii,jj) * profit(ii,jj, i, j) + EV(ii,jj) }

  This doesn’t consider that you might retreat in the future… to handle that:

  EV(i, j) = sum( all next states ii, jj) { p(ii,jj) * profit(ii,jj, i, j) + EV(ii,jj) > retreatThreshold ? EV(ii,jj) : 0 }

  Initial state:

  EV(i, j) = 0 for all terminal states. // e.g. 0 attackers or 0 defenders, or any retreat conditions met.

  To compute Pwin for all sub-problems, the recurrence relation is:

  Pwin(i, j) = probability of winning Pwin(i, j) = sum (all next states ii, jj) { isRetreat = Pwin(ii, jj) < threshold; isRetreat ? 0 : p(ii,jj) * Pwin(ii,jj) }

  Initial state:
  Pwin(i, j) = 1 or 0 depending on win conditions. E.g. if takes then at least one land unit attacker.
