Uh…hello. There is a global zombie war game called Zombie State. I’ve seen it and read some reviews. I’ve actually designed a pretty complicated Axis and Allies Zombies game using the Global 1940 maps. I use Fortress America infantry units for zombies as I don’t have any real specific Z sculpts. I’m afraid I made the rules so complicated that people might compare it to Cones of Dunshire. The Zs are pretty slow and certainly not unkillable. I combined the idea of supernatural undead springing up everywhere thanks to Hitler (he gets munched right off the bat and Admiral Donitz takes over what’s left of Germany) with some pandemic plagues. So some Zs can infect you while others just tear you limb from limb. If the players want to just beat on the Zombies they can unite and do that, or if they want to fight each other the Zs get exponentially tougher and rip into all of them. Like “nightmare” level in some computer games. I’ve been working on it for a few years on and off. Max Brooks World War Z novel and the Harry Turtledove Balance novels were a good inspiration for this kind of thing. Let me know if you’re still interested in this game concept. There is actually someone who started this a few years back with the old A and A Classic map and some fun ideas for introducing Zs into WW2, but I’ve always preferred bigger maps and lots of different unit types.

AARe is the best rule set out there.

I don’t agree with the AARe (Axis and Allies Revised Enhanced) philosophy.
But to be fair, it is the most playtested house rule.Don’t know what if he means though.
Maybe he sugguests you to use that rule set with the modern axis and allies setup. -

I’m a huge fan of A&A and few years ago…about ten. I used to play every weekend. Long story short I came accross some Fortress America parts. We simply colored the tops of some of the vehicles and tweeked the values and we easily set up for WWIII. There’s an easier way of doing it now though buy buying expansion pieces from a company called Table Top Games. I just ordered a set and am chomping at the bit in anticipation. So any veterans out there that want to beef up your game should check them out.

You can make you’re own map pretty easily with photoshop and get it printed online. (I use Zazzle.com) You end up with a map tailored perfectly for your needs with more than twice the playing area of the original game. Adhere it to a foamcore board and you’re good to go. Unless you have cats.

nice but how do you print it?
nice cat by the way. -
Well, like I said I went to Zazzle .com, you upload the image you want and they have it printed and shipped to you as a poster with several different quality paper and finish options. It arrives within a few days. the hardest part was gluing it to the foam core and then cutting the foam core. The one I printed starts was 34.95 and measures 52.5" x 26.5". I;'m happy with Zazzle but I’m sure there are other print sites out there you could use. I’m thinking of revising the map and printing it in the next size up, 39"x78 even thought it’ll probably cost me $150 or so. I love the idea you had of the gdp. when I did my map I used the militarys budgets but fudged it a little after trying to figure out the average spent per soldier in each alliance.
I’d like the cat more If it didn’t chew the map to pieces.
