    I created a playlist of house rules on my YouTube channel. I just added two new variants for the game: super battleship, and tactical bomber target select. Enjoy:

    @The-Janus said in "East & West" by Imp Games - Discussion:

    You’re trying to do the “crying poor” argument as the USSR, and it doesn’t wash because I’ve already laid the numbers out.

    I think games played and demonstrated is the acid test for this type of discussion. I don’t typically go down these rabbit holes but I will here because there is something missing that is very clear to me so…

    You’re not entirely wrong, you just don’t have all the information or a hugely critical component is left out: the total unit value of each sides armies/airforces on the board. You appear to be assuming they’re equal after the Russian opener. They’re not.

    Most TripleA players will know what board TUV is. After a stock opener as the Soviets the TUV is usually 77 IPC in favor of NATO with land/air alone - to say nothing of the navy. This is an imbalance that is not made up for by the 40 or so IPC “transport tax” that NATO ends up paying in the early game.

    Worse, while the Russians claw their way up to parity with NATO in the opening turns in a manner similar to what you describe, they’re all the while further suffering a TUV tax for all the neutrals they’re forced to attack further deepening the TUV divide. I don’t see you address this anywhere. Total Unit Value (TUV) is a very common tool used on TripleA to measure overall performance/balance. That’s why I mention it.

    If I play seven games as NATO, I might lose one. My mind can be changed if I lost two out of seven games (I think I’ve lost as NATO…once in the last two years having played 7 or 8 games in that time - and that was that crazy game @Ragnell804 and I played).

    Further, I’ve never seen a game of E&W stagnate. I think I’ve had one or two go up to turn 7 or 8? I would say one of this game’s strengths is that it doesn’t go on forever like so many other AnA game titles - perhaps I’m misinterpreting your use of the word though.

    Recently, while putting away the second panel on the 1940 Europe board (containing areas such as Russia, Egypt, and the Middle East) it accidentally bashed against the wall and ripped across the seam. I want to buy a replacement, but preferably not an entire board, and especially repurchase the actual game. Are there any websites or places where I can buy individual panels of the Axis and Allies Global board so that I can save money?

    This is a half question half suggestion regarding that wonderful cheat sheet someone made. Under phase 4 contact combat. The stuka bomber has targeted attack and can bypass the escorts to target convoys. From my understanding. If thats true. The cheatsheet should be updated since it says escorts need to be targeted before convoys.

    Hi,

    I Bought this boardgame for my dad for fathers day (and also for myself of course).

    Since he does not speak English nor understand a word of it, I wanted a translated version of the Rule Book, but couldn’t find any.

    Apart from that, I also found it a bit hard for beginners to get started and catch up on the game rules. It’s just a bit overwhelming in my opinion.

    So I figured I let AI generate a full playthrough scenario, that will allow you to follow along while learning the rules during the process. I tried ChatGPT but it had hard time, I then gave the new Claude Sonnet 4 model a try, which did a really good job in my opinion. I first let it read the Rulebook and then create a playthrough scenario that covers all the game rules and all sorts of scenario’s to learn the rules by following along. And I let it translate it into Dutch.

    I created a github repo mainly for the Dutch version. I am a new player myself so no clue if AI made any mistakes but I think it did a great job. Perhaps it is helpful for Dutch beginners that don’t speak/understand English to well.

    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.

    The Germans often just walk into Moscow.
    I don’t think the Allies have any chance without a bid in E40.

    All other strategy is irrelevant if Germany is going to be able to walk into Moscow on G6.

    The 60 bid level that many of the better G40 players play at, is almost entirely spent in Europe.

    Re: Best Strategy & Tactics For Both Sides Well I just finished 2 games as the Central Powers one with contested territory and one without… I somehow won both!! Both of my opponents were very capable but I figured out a way to win. If you are playing with the allies I have no strategy for you but here is my strategy for the CP contested territory version as that is what most people are playing. Here goes:

    AH: Charge your navy at Italy because there is an ok chance you might win. Then attack Venice with both of your adjacent territories. Attack Romania with all of Budapest and Galacia. then move troops from Vienna and Bohemia to Galacia. After that you can attack Russia from both Ukraine and Sevatapol with those forces because as you will see with Germany Poland will be tied up. It is pretty self explanatory after that. I bought a battleship every turn just to keep Italy from being able to land troops.

    Germany: Throw all your navy (including subs) at Brittons home fleet on the first turn then take out Belgium with Alsace and the rurh’s forces and move Munich’s into Alsace. that will settle the western front for a while. so move the men in Prussia and Silesia into Poland(no mater the amount of Russians) then send everything else to the Russian front. I also bought a battleship a turn untill my navy was completely destroyed then I bought 2 a turn. you should also probably send a few extra troops to the western front each turn just to help out a bit. after that it should be self explanatory. But I would suggest going straight for Moscow instead of signing the armastice unless you don’t have enough troops.

    Otoman Empire: Don’t buy troops… ever… just buy battleships because if Italy’s navy gets destroyed then you can go after Brittons fleet. You can hold out with the troops you have already until your fleet is ready. also I chose to attack Serbia with the Bulgarian troops I got but it’s kinda up to you.

    As you can probably tell by now the CP need lots of navy to survive not just stonks of infantry. I also employed a very swift advance on the Russians and bogged down the allies with as little infantry as needed. A timely purchase of tanks will secure your victory on the west after the fall of russia. I really hope this helps!! And have a fun time playing the CP!!!

    @Rescue55-joe I believe the “10 IPCs for each country” that you are referring to are actually the National Control Markers, which are used to track both conquered territories and national production levels. As barnee pointed out, IPCs are not physically provided, and the Rulebook instructs us to track them on paper, but any proxy (such as Monopoly money) will do. See page 7 of the Rulebook for details on both National Control Markers and IPCs.

    In a nutshell, the National Production Track is used to chart your “income” using a National Control Marker. and every turn the “money” goes into your “bank account”, which is represented by IPCs, where it can be spent on new units (or saved for later).

    I hope this helps.

    @Mn-guy Yes, other units can participate in the sea battle. Other than being a prelude to an amphibious assault, it is just like any other sea battle. The rules on page 15 mention only battleships and transports because they are the only units that can participate in the land battle.

    As a side note, attacking air units must, of course, be assigned to either the sea or the land battle, as indicated by where they end their combat movement. They cannot participate in both, even if the amphibious assault is against an island.

    @SuperbattleshipYamato

    June 22, 2025, marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Battle of Okinawa. It was the final major land battle for the Western Allies during the war, and saw huge amounts of kamikazes used against Allied ships, the destruction of the Yamato, and huge amounts of casualties on both sides.

    The large island would’ve been a crucial staging point for the planned Operation Downfall, the invasion of the Japanese home islands.
