    @thethedew I don’t own the game, but I think the main point of it is that it is not WW2 based. This way the game has appeal to people who aren’t that interested in WW2.

    Let us know what you think after you’ve played a couple of games.

    In fact for the moment we still love the AA42 2d Edition for many reasons like the interception rules that is officially this way :

    Both the attacking bombers and fighter escorts, if any, fire with an attack value of 1.
    For each “1” rolled, a defending interceptor is immediately removed as a casualty. The surviving defending interceptors then fire with a defense value of 2.
    For each result of “2” or less, the attacker chooses a casualty and removes it.
    After the air battle is complete, or if there were no defending fighter interceptors, surviving fighter escorts are considered to be
    retreated. They don’t participate in the actual bombing raid, are not subject to antiaircraft fire, and will remain in the territory
    until the Noncombat Move phase. Any surviving attacking bombers carry out the bombing raid as described above.

    Plus we ask the defending factory to pay directly in IPCs the bombing (max twice the value of the territory) like in the old versions!

    Fast & Fun!

    @taamvan

    Agreed for the most part. I will add to those who haven’t played the game that the full effects of the Joe income advantage don’t come into play until the 5th or 6th round, so Cobra have around half of the game to try to eke out a victory.

    @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.

    @Glamorboy A big load of subs can definitely be useful, and if you aren’t trying to protect transports at all, it is a good option. True, one carrier and 2 fighters loses to 5 subs. Typically though, your navy will be much more expensive than $34 and the fighters are also relevant on land. Also, subs are not good at defense while fighters defense kings.

    When I play against friends who are new, I just give them a bid. If they win, their bid goes down and if they lose, their bid goes up. I never spend money on both coasts as US because I feel like I can never get anything going at all and it seems like all the money is wasted. Also, I think it is more helpful to use viable, typical strategies against new players so that they know what to expect. I have learned a lot more about the game through losing than I ever have by winning.

    @FranceNeedsMorePower When I play Britain I also wish that. :) If you do that, however, then Austria should start with one, since it would do the CP even more damage to give the Entente any further advantage.

    In regards to the American strategy, I agree that it is frustrating playing as the waking giant of the US only to be capped at a measly 20 IPCs throughout the whole game. There are a few ways to remedy this, but each has their pitfalls.

    You could set up a national objective system in the game (as I have worked on before and enjoyed) in which the US graduates to higher income levels over a number of turns. For example, the first turn the US is at war it collects 2 more IPCs, the second turn 4, up through the 5th turn when they collect 10, at which point it stops increasing. This would need to be balanced by a strong CP national objective of some kind, and I have not spent the time investigating this yet.

    If you are willing to fudge some history, once the US goes to war, Canada becomes a US (not British) territory. This overplays the independence movement that resulted from the war, but it does give the US a few more IPCs and doesn’t shift the game balance too much. British player will need to be a little stingier, but if the Ottomans are already on the run, this may not be the end of the world.

    There are more options, but since I have to leave for class, I will leave it at this for now. I look forward to any comments or thoughts you may have. :)

    @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.

    Hi Darth,

    Yea - those Expansions brought tons of fun & challenge.

    Since then, we have developed the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion - inspired by and based on those Expansions.

    You can find the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion on this forum - and as you read your way through these Expansion rules you’ll recall all the good memories from the early 90’s - and much more.
