Not quite the same as Axis & Allies but there is “1812; Invasion of Canada”, which is a semi card driven war game. It uses wooden blocks but you could substitute these with “Viktory” game pieces or other miniatures. The game is worth checking out on its own merits, with or without miniatures.

I truly am brain damaged the games are called Pacific and Europe 1940 and I am asking what is the start date going to be. Must remember to engage brain before engaging mouth or in this case fingers on the keyboard.
-
What is the start date going to be?
AAE40 begins shortly after Dunkirk, Germany. AAP40 will also begin at around that same period (19 months before Pearl Harbor)
-
All righty then, there will be no need for cavalry in this game, we will have to save those for the WWI game, although I would have loved to see Germany invading Poland in the game. I want a game that covers the entire war.
-
Yah, but 1939 is a boring start date.
not if you are the axis and like seeing things blow up with little chance of retaliation!

mighta been interesting for Poland to start and be controlled by the UK player, or the French player, since they were together as allies to start. Then Germany would have more to worry about on both fronts than just USSR and FRE… who knows…

I hate to admit it but I am just that type of person.

But the whole turn would consist of invading one territory, that sounds pretty boring to me
-
You dont have to follow Hitlers battleplan, we all know what kind of general he was.
-
naaah, you’ve got poland, france, denmark, norway, netherlands (belgium, holland, luxembourg), all occurred before Dunkirk, plus maybe you could hit east poland or finland before the USSR. could even hit stuff with Italy/Japan earlier too… sky’s the limit!

You’re starting to drift a little here. Lets stay focused on the game pieces.

The mould Maker now has all our sculpts and our directions for the project! He is formulating a quote for me and I should have the answer in a few days. The COST he comes up with will determine how fast this project moves forward.
It may come time soon to place pre-orders to fund the project.

Thank you Sir for the update!

If pre-orders are needed to fund the project I think a complete list of represented units is called for. A couple of renders from the artist depicting the sculpts would be appreciated as well.
-
That is a great idea. I will see what I can pull together. If we do pre-orders I will create a web page with updates and information including pictures of proto-types and 3D printed samples.
More to come soon….

The latest info from FMG has got me re-focused on the game pieces….At least for the next five minutes or so.

no you have already excceded the limit, only finland happened in 39, the norway campaign would be interesting if there was an airborne peice, and there was hardly a battle in the netherland, although I agree that the game should start at the begining of May so that it includes the first part of the battle or France.
but anyways, I am really glad to hear the news FMG, keep it up!
-
I would 100% sure to buy at least 2 complete sets ! (if they arent too expensive that is XD) seriously
ps: Maybe adding units like what tabletactics did http://tabletactics.com/aa_accessories.html had ? most are just upgrades from orignal units (like super bombers and jet fighters) , but there’s also some good new units to look into ( i love the landing craft idea ) , if its not a priority right now perhaps a different project soon follow ? XD
Also it would be nice to include the new rules for new units on the site or inside packaging like what table tactics did
-
Interesting.
The packaging should be in a box with the pieces on sprues. The shipping box and box for the pieces could be the same box as long as its sturdy.
