Axis & Allies: Commanders Expansion

I have made an expansion for the game adding commanders. Except for a few special abilities, everything is based around a re-roll system.

New features

57 new commander cards, with at least 2 for each nation 39 Generals and 18 Admirals

Quick Guide:

All commanders have certain amount of Power. Power represents how many re-rolls that can be used per battle. A unit can only re-roll once per combat round. Abilities affect this.

Each nation can only use 3 commanders in both offensive and defensive battles each game round.

Final note:

This is a work in progress and therefore subject to change. Critique is very much appreciated. This version is not properly gametested.

Hi All,

I created these setup sheets/cheat sheets for an upcoming game. They’re designed so that each player can sit down and have most of what they need to know in front of them all the time.

Example:Germany Setup Sheet.png

Download all the sheets here: [https://www.mediafire.com/file/je5iw8q2v16g0qt/Simnos_Setup_Sheets.docx/file](link url)

Feel free to use them in your own games, or change them as you see fit. I’ve put them on the Word file I worked from so everything is editable. I’ve printed mine on glossy paper and I think they look great. I may laminate them too so they last.

If you see any mistakes please let me know (especially if you see them before my game on 13/10/24).

Additional note: I have slightly changed the factions so that the US player has control of ANZAC and the UK player has China. I just prefer it that way. If there’s a will for it I could probably do an altered sheet with the original combinations.

I haven’t used that map, but I’d recommend scaling your pieces up by about 10-20% to keep things proportional. Test fit as you go to make sure it works.

@The_Good_Captain OK understood. We will give it a shot nd get back with you. Thank you

I updated my setup cards to have a front and back side to them. The front being the setup and the back having purchase info, Attack and Defense, and Images to help with identifying pieces on the board…mainly the boats. We found we have had to get the rule book out to make sure we purchase the correct boats (Destroyer vs Cruiser). It can be difficult to identify and keep track of these units. You can print these out at a local print shop. I printed on thin PVC material and had them laminated. Here are the cards.

@CorporalClegg Thank for your reply.
Yes I did see those, but i thought I didn’t need two separate versions and I am very fond of your layout. So if you one decide to make the last 4 cards to play global, and you would like to share please let me know :-)

@winteradler said in WinterAdler's Customization - G40 Setup Card Deck & more:

Hey everyone!

I am currently working on a game document.
The aim is to provide a better game overview and more comfort.
By means of national markers it is possible to mark out the grayed out symbols.

I would like to have a list of units,
Enter the ipc, bring in diplomacy and the victory cities.
Unfortunately, I have not found a solution for it, so the game underlay is not too big …

In 2012 “Minor Threat” aka “Children” created a nice design: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/16491/minor-threat-s-alpha-3-9-global-1940-complete-setup-charts?page=1

Just saw your ideas… I think his work is awesome!

I like your idea with cards for each land. Maybe I will use them and change design etc… Thanks for sharing your work!!!

They look absolutely great SP.

I was admiring these when I spotted that the US set up misses the Szechwan and NW China Infantry and mistakenly has the G naval placements instead of the US. Not checked the rest so you may want to do so.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! :-(
