WW2 Path to Victory - Feedback Thread

What I would like is a package of poker chips (compatible with existing A&A versions) to use with 1914. I find that there simply isn’t room on the board for all the different stacks for each army, especially on the crowded western front.

So I just give each nation a single stack of chips with the required infantry unit on top.

The system I use is:

grey/white = infantry
red = artillery
green - tanks
blue = fighters

Additional colours might be reserved for new units vis:

black = bombers
yellow = cavalry

A nice touch would be for each colour to be embossed with the appropriate unit type.

Equivalent pieces for ships aren’t as important but maybe double sided chips for naval units?

I created this old file a few years back for the classic 1977 AH classic.

I bought entire fleets in 1/6000 scale and had them professionally painted and mounted on counters. I have the files for this.

Also wanted to rework the totally ignored situation in China and added a few more bases. I have the files for this too ( not finished)

I will take pictures of a gaming session and post latter.

This game is not far from Axis and Allies ( 6 are hits, then re-roll for damage points)

Here is a look at the map ( almost done)

For naval and air bases I use old (1976?) Avalon Hill Diplomacy pieces.
You can find them used online, sometimes in decent numbers.

For the naval base I use the anchor (Diplomacy navy), stood upright.
For the air base I use the star (Diplomacy army), stood upright.

I’ll get around to painting them all eventually, but in the meantime, they work nicely.

Great thought! I will play test!

Just had another thought, if you wanted to eliminate dice, you could setup a rock/paper/scissors type game using those Units

Infantry defeat fighters/tanks, lose to artillery/bombers
Tanks defeat artillery, or other tanks
Fighters defeat bombers/tanks but lose to infantry/artillery (imbedded aa guns)

That type of concept anyways.  It would take some thinking through , more than this post from my cellphone haha but would be possible!

@Toonster:

The rules for World at War says the following about an Axis IPC win:

“Germany and Japan win whenever their combined IPC total is 20 IPCs higher than all of the Allies combined.”

Does this mean directly after Japan has finished his turn, implying Russia and US cannot fight back?

Toonster

I assume (as in orig. A&A), that the Axis must maintain the IPC total at the end on one complete round of play (meaning every player has had a turn).
