• Axis & Allies 1946 Cold War Version

    I have created an Axis & Allies Cold War 1946 variant for a G40 board. My inspiration came from Jostermann’s Axis & Allies Cold War Variation, and this setup I found online. I think that the game is heavily tilted in favor of the allies so any feedback on how I could fix this would be great.

    AXIS AND ALLIES: COLD WAR

    Countries:

    NATO: United States of America, United Kingdom, French Republic, Latin America, Commonwealth of Australia, Commonwealth of Canada, Republic of China, Japan/Korea/Thailand, Kingdom of Italy, Kingdom of the Netherland and Belgium.
    COMMUNIST COUNTRIES AND ALLIES: Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Peoples Republic of China, Pro Communist Countries.

    Due to the number of countries, you will need to use forces/pieces from other games or come up with a system that works for you.

    THE SITUATION:
    When the game begins, the only war going on is between the Peoples Republic of China, and the Republic of China. The USA may not declare war on the Soviet Union. There will be a state of war between the USA and the Soviet Union only if the Soviet Union declares war on NATO. Other NATO countries may choose to declare war on the Soviet Union, but that will not bring the rest of NATO into war. The Soviet Union cannot declare war on individual NATO countries. Any Allied Nation can declare war on Pro Communist Countries at any time. The same goes for the Peoples Republic of China.

    HOW THE WAR IS WON:
    NATO wins by holding Moscow, Iraq, and Jehol for a complete round of play. The Communist Countries win by holding 6 of the following cities for a complete round of play: Washington, Ottawa, Paris, Rome, London, Tokyo, Sydney, Calcutta, Manila, Honolulu, San Francisco, Shanghai.

    SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:

    Japan/Korea/Thailand may only purchase infantry, and artillery. All Chinese territories conquered by NATO will become a part of ROC/K/J.

    Korea can be occupied by two opposing powers at the same time due to the fact that it is split into North Korea and South Korea.

    Strict Neutrals:

    Strict Neutrals are not part of any alliance and in this version you will gain no penalty for attacking them other than possibly losing to the territory’s military. But if you attack a part of a country and not the other, the rest of that nations army will revolt against you. Example: if you attack Northwest Persia, Persia and Eastern Persia will revolt against you.

    Switzerland: 2 infantry

    Afghanistan: 1 infantry, 2 artillery

    Saudi Arabia: 4 infantry, 2 tanks

    Sikang/Tibet: 2 infantry

    Persia: 3 infantry, 1 strategic bomber

    Northwest Persia: 1 infantry

    Eastern Persia: 1 infantry, 1 artillery

    Pro allied neutrals:

    Pro Allied Neutrals can be activated only if the country that activates them is at war. Pro Allied Neutrals can also be attacked by any of the Pro-Communist Powers at any time.
    If you attack Rio de Oro, you will be at war with Spain and vice versa. If you are not at war you can still pass through the territory, You just can’t activate it. If a country is attacked or activated, its forces will join a different power depending of the territory. I will list what power they will join next to the territory’s name.

    Spain (European Allies): 2 infantry, 2 tanks, 1 fighter, minor industrial complex, air base
    SZ 91: destroyer, transport
    SZ 92: destroyer
    Rio de Oro (European Allies): 1 infantry

    Ecuador (Latin America): 1 infantry

    Peru (Latin America): 1 infantry

    Bolivia: 1 infantry

    Paraguay (Latin America): 1 infantry

    Uruguay (Latin America): 1 infantry

    Pro Communist neutrals

    Pro Communist Neutrals can be activated only if the country that activates them is at war. Pro Communist Neutrals can also be attacked by any of the Allied Powers at any time.
    If you are not at war you can still pass through the territory, You just can’t activate it. If a country is attacked or activated, its forces will join a different power depending of the territory. I will list what power they will join next to the territory’s name.

  • The turn order proceeds in the following order:

    1. USA
    2. USSR
    3. UK
    4. China
    5. France
    6. ROC
    7. Australia
    8. Pro Communist Countries
    9. Canada
    10. Italy
    11. Latin America

  • I had been kinda workshopping the same idea, over in this thread (strictly using the Europe 1940 map, rather than Global)
    https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/39450/brainstorming-east-west-cold-war-scenario-for-europe-1940/1


  • I like the your idea, would France and the Middle East be considered separate powers once at war?


  • @HHFrenchRepublic12
    The conceit in “East & West” is that minor powers just bond to a major power, once they become active in the war. So, what I had suggested was that France would become part of Western Europe, and the Arab League would become part of the UK, if/when they’re at war with the USSR.
    It just keeps things a lot cleaner, in terms of not having to reinvent the turn order, and other stuff which might add overhead.
