DK's Hybrid Axis and Allies Map and Rules

Lone transports only. Enemy has to kill them. If they are not killed get a escape roll @2 each.
My game transports defend @2 against planes only too. So if a plane kills them they get a AA shot and if a sub or ship kills them no defense shot at them.

That’s for d12 die. For d6 then @1. Even better odds.

Someone suggested to me the idea of using Global War 1936 lend-lease paths instead of moving units for Tech. It would definitely cleaner on the board. I am just trying to think about the advantages and disadvantages to each method. What do y’all think?

Me and my friends have gotten really into AA again and me being an imaginative guy ive decided to combine my favorite games into one. Risk 2210 meets AA 1940. Too long some might say and id say you dont have 3 day weekends and no social life lol.

Heres the project.
2 maps redesigned for the future one of earth one of the far off world of Stratax with the moon thrown in.
6 factions 3v3 with a possible 7th.
Pieces from halo wars risk and star craft risk with 2210 and aa filling the gaps for naval and air
Commander units from rusk 2210
2 decks of command cards one for axis and one for Allied
Tokens for harsh weather, new buildings, and nuclear devastation.
And a professionally done rule book.

Im really big on professional customization. This project will take me weeks to finish but ive got a pretty good idea on how everything will play out and ill ne sharing the files with all of you.

The Factions are in progess but heres what im thinking.
Team Turn Order:
1. Slavic Syndicate
2. European Coalition
3. Peoples Liberation Army
4. United Nations Defense Forces
5. Free Islamic Federation
6. Confederate States of the Americas
7. Stratax Remnant (Aliens)

History of 2199 AD
Alliance: War Never Changes is a game of global domination and beyond. The powers of good vs evil battle for control of territories across the galaxy. The year is 2199 AD and new age is dawning on humanity and with it came strife and hardship. Alliances were formed ensuing common interests fuel, and power are in short supply and the powers struggle over total control of humanity’s remaining fuel reserves. An alien technology discovered deep underground allows for instantaneous travel to another world dubed Stratax by the archeological teams sent to investigate this new world. Stratax is earth-like, rich with new fuel sources and economic potential. Five years after the discovery, the nations of earth had quickly learned to exploit this new technology and began colonizing Stratax. Whoever controls Stratax controls the future of humanity. Choose your side, choose your faction, and determine the fate of humanity.

Command Card Rules:
All players are restricted to buying command cards from their teams respected decks. The two decks are Axis Command and Allied Command. Cards are purchased during the “Purchase Command Cards” phase for 3 Economic Development Credits a piece. A player may purchase as many command cards as they desire during this phase. Each card has various phases it can be played in but there is no limit to the number of command cards a player can activate during a round. To activate a command card simply pay the EDC activation cost and place face up for all players to see. Once the card has been completed place it into the discard pile, unless otherwise noted. If all command cards have been used reshuffle the discard pile and use again.

Weather Fronts
At the beginning of each round spin the weather dial for each weather front on the board. Move the weather front tokens onto the corresponding territory as shown on the dial. Place a green chip on the weather front token if the movement on the dial is shown as green or a red chip if the movement is shown as red, if no color is indicated the weather is neutral. Red weather fronts indicate severe storms and prevent movement into or out of territories. If any units are located on a red marked storm front roll one d6. On a roll of 1 the units stationed there take a hit and a casualty is selected by the owner. Green weather fronts indicate favorable weather and increase all unit movement through them by +1. Weather fronts without a color marker are considered neutral or inconsequential. They do not alter the territory in any way.

Everything is still in alpha and subject to change for balance and style changes.

@knp7765:

Oh yeah, you need to play the game all the way to the bitter end. Don’t let the Axis surrender. You have to smash ALL their precious units and take that capital.

In the immortal words of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Conan the Barbarian (who was himself quoting Genghis Khan): “Crush enemies…see them driven before you…hear the lamentations of the women.”  In the context of Global 1940, “the lamentations of the women” probably refers to the lady of the house saying “Haven’t you guys finished playing yet?” sometime around 2:00 o’clock on a Sunday morning.

LOL… my drunken games of Classic Edition with 4AM finishes were over years ago, now it’s a 9AM to 9PM time slot (maybe a little longer if ask nicely), but it won’t be long before we’re limited to playing Bridge and Lawn Bowling.

@Gamerman01:

Not everyone agrees the Allies need a bid

I agree with you. I don’t care for bids either. I think either side can win if played right with the setup as is.

That being said, Grasshopper’s list is very interesting. I think you should spice things up though. Make ONE of the dice rolls end up in a $15 bid for the Axis. Perhaps an extra German tank in Poland, an extra Italian tank in Tobruk and an extra Japanese infantry in Kwangsi.
The Allies still have a 5/6 chance of getting some padding for themselves. But now there is a 1/6 chance that the Allies will have to go without.

lol that’s insane.  It would be radical enough to have a 1/6 chance that the Allies get no bid, but to give 15 to the Axis?  Most players would give up before playing if they rolled that.

I would like to see a deluxe version of AA42 that has all the goodies in it like Revised.  :)

@Imperious:

3 years latter?

Needed a little time to mull things over.
