@thrasher1 Our group plays China at War, Turkey at War, Fighting Railways, and Diplomacy. We have played others, but those 4 are our favorites. Diplomacy is starting to wear out it’s welcome a bit, as far as I’m concerned. It adds a lot of fun to the game, but it heavily favors the Allies. Some games it can really swing things.

With regards the setup charts….
I cannot seem to find the IPC chart for this map to keep track of income.
Was one made?
-
No a IPC chart was not made. We tend to not use it because we found it does not stay accurate very long. At the end of each countries turn we count up all + and - from starting income. Takes about 2 seconds to figure out what each country is making.

Hello everyone.
First thing to say is that I absolutely love this map. I’m looking forward to play it in a few weeks.I thought about some slightly setup changes, mainly to include Tactical Bombers and to weaken the german starting position in the atlantic, it looks like they can wipe out the whole british navy on turn 1…
Also I made National Objectives for this map based on the AA50 NO’s:
National Objectives - Germany
$5 for all german territories in europe (without Norway and Finland)
$5 for 6 of Baltic States, East Poland, Western Ukraine, Novgorod, Belorussia, Orel-Kursk, Eastern Ukraine, Crimea, Kharkov, Caucasus
$5 for 1 of Leningrad, StalingradNational Objectives - Russia
$10 for 3 of Norway, Finland, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia
$5 for Archangel and no allied troops in soviet controlled territoriesNational Objectives - Japan
$5 for all japanese territories (including occupied china)
$5 for 10 of Hong Kong, Philippines, Brunei, Borneo, Malaya, Sumatra, Java, Celebes, Dutch East Indies, Dutch New Guinea, New Guinea, Papau, New Britain, Solomon Islands
$5 for 1 of Hawaiian Islands, New South Wales, CalcuttaNational Objectives - UK
$5 for Quebec, Gibraltar, Cairo, New South Wales, South Africa
$5 for 1 of Western France, France, Vichy France, Greece, Yugoslavia
$5 for controll of any originally japanese territory
(maybe an additional NO for control of India?)National Objectives - Italy
$5 for all italian territories, all german territories in north africa and no enemy surface warships in the mediterranean
$5 for 6 of Vichy France, Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus, Tobruk, Upper Egypt, Cairo, Trans Jordan, SyriaNational Objectives - USA
$5 for all US-territories in north america (without alaska)
$5 for Philippines
$5 for 5 of Midway, Wake Island, Hawaiian Islands, Johnston Island, Gilbert Islands, Line Islands, Aleutian IslandsNational Objectives - China
2 Artillery in Szechwan if the Burma-Road is under allied controlOf course the bonus is not that important on this map, but i always liked the AA50 objectives - and the Chinese NO could really help to give them some firepower. Any thoughts on this would be great.

Hi Neptune and welcome to the Forums.
Before you go making your own changes, try it this way first. Yes germany does destroy most ok UK fleet, not all. And if played right UK will have a navy back by turn 4 along with the usual US support. These set ups were play tested and tweaked, and play tested again for about 2 years before we redid the setup charts. With the exception if Hawaii IC, I believe the Charts are perfect.
Don’t let Germany’s frontline force scare you too much, Russia has plenty, it’s just spread out a bit more. Don’t let the IPC income level scare you either. Try it this way first, You’ll love it

Hey Deathshead!
My map has taken a bit longer than usual to sort out, since it’s taken a while to secure funds from the members of our club to pool their cash together.
Should be here by next week. Pics will be posted, but bare in mind I’m moving house and so it will take a while to set up my new gaming room ;)

Howdy all.
I was in need of a replacement AA world map so I choose this one to have printed. Mainly because it looks so good but also because I know how much effort went into designing it. A huge thanks to all involved; that’s for sure.
The printer asked if they could tinker with the size a little bit to better fit on their available stock. I said sure & the price came out to $40 cdn. Quite reasonable for what I got I think. The material is a coated matte on the printed side & quite thick. Again, for what I paid I’m thrilled.
I just got it home on Friday & I’ve been admiring it for the past two days. I probably should have waited to post this after I’d figured out the exact dimensions & precisely what it was printed on. All I really know that it’s a beautiful map & I’m itching to play on it.
Here it is draped unceremoniously over the chair in my computer room:

well thank you. The colors look perfect, But I am afraid at that smaller size, you may run into some piece density issues. It may or may not clear up after rd 1 stacking, But I hope it works for you.
Thanks for printing it

Setting it up later today, will post pics in the evening 8-)

Deathhead,
I am painting my Infantry, can you give me some Maximum numbers of Infantry needed for your game of each nation so i do not paint as well as buy more than I need.
Thanks. -
Use your setup charts, to figure out how many different stacks of say inf. you have for each country, I would have 2-5 extras of each country’s units above say set up.
Now there are exceptions like, Japan only starts with 2 tanks on the board, But if you have ever played any AA game, you now that 4-7 tanks is not going to cut it.
-
1. why didn’t you do a 1939 map?
2. what program did you do your map on?
3. looks great. Needs more sea zones between S. America and Africa
-
Has anyone used this module www.axisandallies.us/G10.gim.zip for this game? Does it need to be updated? Let me know.
-
Played another game, and I am happy to say that the Axis won because of a prolonged and successful Sea Lion Attempt(s)
Japan Tied up the US in the Pacific By taking Hawaii on rd 2 and Forced the US to all but ignore the Atlantic, Meanwhile the German Russian Front Lay stagnant while the Kriegsmarine Conducted landing after landing on the British Isle’s
