A List of Expansions for Avalon Hill-era Axis & Allies

@CWO-Marc I had these strips featured on my site but someone at AH/MB told me they did not want them to be availible…

Yes, but while you might have taken them down, while your website may no longer be up, the Internet never forgot them.

@Midnight_Reaper I hope AH/MB will forgive me :)

I guess we’ll see. I’m glad you posted them, as now we have them for posterity.

I would not call these sets of rules ‘expansions’. For me an expansion must have some physical components. So say someone would have released New Rules + New Battleboard + some new units… I would call that an expansion.

If rules only then I would simply call this ‘set of house rules’ or even just ‘house rules’.
But it is good you compile this list. Keep posting!

Well, it’s a list of expansions, with “semi-official rules” listed by exception from the author (wave). But yes, I was hoping some knowledge people would come by and try to help me out and it seems my hopes came to pass. And for that, I’m glad.

Europe at War: EaW was released some years BEFORE ‘Axis and Allies Europe’.

Pacific wat War. PaW was released about two years AFTER ‘Axis and Allies Pacific’.

Both are stand-alone games.

Actually: Pacific at War (Xeno) is a relatively good game. Board is mounted. And I like the naval track from UK/London to the actual map :)

I can move EaW and PaW to stand-alone games. I think I had them there before while I was editing and then threw them under Xeno before I finished up.

As AH was bought by 1998 and Axis and Allies Europe was released late 1999 (but only really availible in 2000) I think the watershed here can be: 2000.
OK?

You were much closer to this at the time than I was: if you say the cut-over was 2000, I’m fine with that. It’s a nice round number to use anyways… ;-)

So then let’s add to this list:

Conquest Gaming:

• Operation Barbarossa
• Conquest of the Pacific

I already have those two listed as “Games that are expansions”, on that posting.

And let me finish up by saying: “Thanks for coming by, and thanks for taking the time to help me out with this.” I remember going to your page back in the day for news about A&A and hashing out this conversation takes me way back. Thanks for the information back in the days before Social Media, and thanks for your help now.
