11. Now it is the Allied turn. The same procedure is followed as before. The defending CAP fighter shoots at the incoming planes, and they get to fire back.

12. The Japanese CAP fighter misses, but the Allied planes shoot it down.

13. Both planes select the same carrier group to go after. The ships miss their AA fire, so the planes are free to attack.

14. Both planes score a hit on the carrier and it is sunk. Planes must now return home.

15. Planes on both sides must land on their carriers. The US plane lost its carrier, and so must ditch at sea (destroyed). Both sides may reshuffle the composition of their groups. At this point, the Japanese player decides if they wish to retreat, and they choose to continue the battle instead. The Allies, however, choose to retreat, The Allied ships return to port and the Japanese fleet continues on its original mission.

@ryandascienti Looks cool, but I think Europe is both too crowded on absolute terms and having too small territories with respect to what most of the rest of the world has.

I think you would be better either further increasing the area Europe occupies on the map or decreasing the number of zones into which you have split this area. For example, you could represent England (comprising Wales) as a single territory (instead of the current two), have a single territory (instead of the current two) for northern Italy and have two territories (instead of the current three) for the Italian Peninsula, and so on.

The Urals are rather small mountains and are economically important as a source of minerals: I’m alway perplexed when I see anyone having them impassable.

Yes just Europe.

Its about $15 bucks BTW at Battlefront.com

I own a copy of the game.  As with a lot of games, I bought it for the pieces.  The troop pieces are disappointing because their plastic isn’t very compatible with A&A: the plastic has a glossy, semi-translucent appearance, and the colour shades don’t work well in my opinion.  The British-looking pieces with pith helmets have some usefulness as colonial troops. One unexpected bonus, however, is that the little grey triumphal arches work nicely as markers for A&A victory cities.

Okay so I know what your all (okay maybe only a few people like me) are thinking. “Why don’t we have a good Axis and Allies WWI game?”. Well heres a thread to post all your ideas for the game. Maybe we can get Larry or Krieghund to look at it and maybe it’ll give them some ideas. Heres mine.

When they make it I hope they do seperate fronts. With a Med. board, a Europe board, and a Africa board. Maybe even Pacific.

Yeah.  It’s been quite a while.

It’s OK.

If you’re thinking about getting a starter package for your nephew, you should be prepared to play it with him.
