Looking for the link to the IPC paper money that was created by sireblood. None of the YouTube videos have the link.

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.

Just received my custom Battle Board that I had printed to go along with the upcoming giant 1940 Global map that I pre-ordered. Inspired by the original vintage game from 1984 with the design of the original battle board, I just wanted to pay homage to that original design where this now includes expansion pieces for my own AXIS & ALLIES game at home with my son using house rules and third-party pieces (mostly from Historical Board Gaming). This custom board measures 14" x 14".

Thought I’d share this as I thought some might like to see.

I’m a graphic designer and illustrator. I put this together myself using mainly Adobe Illustrator and some Photoshop when I needed to create some of the silhouette icons. Some were borrowed from the actual game’s images for the units.

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.

I don’t understand what you mine

@The_Good_Captain 10-4 Captain. Thx again!

@Call77 A bit late to the party, but if you don’t mind, I’d really appreciate those PDFs!

So, considering you are trying to make a full GHQ set, do you find the battleships, carriers, and heavy bombers (without stands) to be too large for the standard Global and/or Anniversary map?

Perhaps if I tactfully choose only a few large battleships and carriers and stuck mostly to the medium-smaller ones + support carriers.

I think with the bombers is were the real problem would be.  In the average game there usually aren’t tons of carriers and battleships littered across the board so even though they’re a little big its doable.  A big carrier like the Yorktown or the battleship Yamato or Bismark can easy be longer than an individual sea zone.  The destroyer size is perfect and cruisers and smaller battleships fit nicely. The Yorktown for instance is a quarter longer than my middle finger so they’re close to 4 inches long.  But I just finished the Japanese Escort carrier Ryujo and it’s honestly a great size (maybe more like 2.5 /inches). Tanks are perfect, mechanized infantry is just right, fighters are a tab bigger but good size.  Bombers now can span more that a whole country.  For instance the German HE-11 bomber has a wing span of about 2.5 / 3 inches.  On the ground they would virtually take up all the space of say Western Germany.  The magnet flight stands I use have a nail shaft to hold them up (they’re kinda heavy compared to plastic) and the pewter base I use is around the circumference of a quarter so the stands them selves still take up some room.  As the gentleman noted as well the pieces are a bit heavier bit I like the solid feel they bring and they’re kinda tacky on the board which is cool.  Regarding the bigger ships I’ve never been one for shying away for using task cards or zones.  The big navies always use these anyways in my games so they’re not much of a problem.  I’m also going to be to be using a bigger board soon so that will help with the pieces being on the bigger side.  It’s just the tactical and heavy bombers that need to be lifted to make room for the pieces on the bottom.
