Ultralight Paintball Idea

Re: Imperial borders

With this game being released next year I was wondering if HBG would be doing pieces for each country. I would be very interested. Thanks

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.

This will sound silly, but I thought of a cool idea for a tournament/triathlon type event between two friends who are into war gaming.  Basically you’d play the best of the three following games:

Idea 1:  Axis and Allies 1914, Axis and Allies (any edition), and Twilight Struggle

Idea 2: Axis and Allies (any edition), Twilight Struggle, and Fortress America

Thoughts?

Change the amounts.
Make the soldiers not just worth one, but like an actual infantry unit
Make the Calvary Calvary that have special rules
Make the Cannon’s cannon that have special rules.

For example keep Risk’s basic rules, but make infantry if they role 1s, 2s, and 3s not high enough to land an attack
Calvary if the get 1’s or 2’s they can’t be hit
Cannons if they get 1 it won’t hit.

Also make Infantry worth 1 money or whatever they’re called in risk
Calvary $3
Cannon $5

This may sound retarded, but it might work.

Buy my WW1 game played on a 6x4 foot map of europe. He can use his axis and allies pieces for my game, but he needs a few additional pieces… Currently their is no world war one game that has “pieces” The best WW1 game ever made IMO is avalon hills “guns of august”  Its a counter game and look on ebay for it. It the only WW1 game with a real map of europe that can be played in under 6 hours.

I’ve always found the history of the War card game quite interesting, especially when you compare it to Solitaire. War is one of those classic card games that is so simple yet engaging, much like Solitaire. Both games have been around for ages and have a sort of timeless appeal. War is thought to date back to at least the 19th century, and it is often one of the first card games kids learn because of its simplicity. Solitaire, on the other hand, has a rich history that goes back even further, with origins in Europe in the late 18th century. What I find fascinating about War is that it relies heavily on luck, while solitaire requires a bit more strategy and patience. This makes each game unique in its way. War is straightforward and fast-paced, which is great for quick, casual play. Solitaire can be more relaxing and requires a bit more thought, which can be very satisfying when you finally win. Both games have their charm and offer different kinds of enjoyment. War might not have the depth of solitaire, but it has its own appeal in its simplicity and the way it can quickly decide a winner. I think both games have survived for so long because they are easy to learn and play, making them accessible to everyone, regardless of age or skill level.
