Global War 1940/41

@Monroe:

I have another game coming up this week and will try the following modification:

India/Calcutta: 3 Unit max placement (per map posting)
Australia/New South Wales: 2 Unit max placement (per map posting)
Canada/Quebec: 1 Unit max placement (per map posting)

In addition, the UK player may place 1 unit of their choice on one of the 3 minor powers per turn.

We Actually stole “Common Wealth Troops” from some where on these boards and replaced the National Advantage “Colonial Garrison” and Inserted.

Common Wealth Troops- The UK player may place 1 free infantry per turn in any of Quebec, Calcutta, New South Wales IC’s. This Inf. does not count against Build limits of said IC.

We almost always Play with NA’s. Or should I say Refined NA’s. The majority are From Revised.

Russia all same except
Lend Lease- just like b4, but now the units need to be at a IC to “Transform”
Trans Siberian Railroad- removed completly, it’s on the map and replaced with another “Stolen” NA
Guards Tank Army- any Russian Tanks defending in Moscow, Stalingrad, or Lenin Grad def. on 4’s

Germany All the Same- Luftwaffe Dive Bombers look really tasty Now  :evil: especially if you use escort rules

UK

Common wealth troops replaces Colonial Garrrison
Enigma decoded removed and replaced with ( Can’t remember, too lazy to go look right now)

JPN 
Kamikaze is an actual unit  they can build
Kamikazi  2,0,4(1) cost 5.  It has First strike and called shot.  It’s combat move is 1 it’s Non combat move is 4

Kaiten Torps is changed to Island Bases.

USA
USA gets something and loses something also, i can’t remember though  :x

Italy
Honestly we give them another BB and thats about it.

we use a 10 tech tree
basic 6 +
Ind. Tech -reduces the cost of units by 1, but only 1 type of unit can be declared, ie. Air units, Land Units and Sea Units this picked randomly roll d6 1,2= Land,3,4= Sea etc….
Super Carriers- can base 3 planes
Long range Arty. Allows a Prlimanary Bombardment
Don’t remember the 4th one  :x

hope this helps you a little

All the links work now except for the Neutrals, which is really no big deal.

Finally with the release of “Flank Speed” from War at Sea, I have all the Neccassary pieces to blow this map up into a 8x4 size and use Version 1 AAM’s and War at Sea pieces instead.  I will post pics when I get the map printed.  Should be in a couple weeks

Neutrals Now work Also  :evil:

convoy’s work just like Europe game

I have a Game scheduled for Oct. 3-4.

I will post a AAR w/ pics after the game

Alrighty, I just dropped $197.50 for a sweet azz print job.  45.57" x 96" which is just under 32 sq. ft of color printing on a photo matte paper.  The map is on 2 sheets of paper with the seam running East to west at about 12’’ from the bottom of map.  This size will fit version 1 AA minis and War at Sea pieces.  I am very excited to play this game this weekend.  6 people are going to show up from all points across Wisconsin.  When the game is over I will post as many pics as I can and some details about the game.  We will be using AA50 rules along with some old revised rules and some House rules. All the players are experienced in AA and are in their 30’s.  I believe this will be the Largest Axis and Allies Board Game in existance. :-D

Can’t wait to post a after action review for all to see

later

@whitewolfmxc:

For players aid :

1. add in cruiser ship for the purchase chart

I can’t, I personally lack the know how or a good unit shadow to use. can rules insert it in.

2. add in neutral deploy unit symbols on the map (just for neutrals)

Why? isn’t the off white color say they are neutral enough?

To add a bit more realism :

1. make japan into 4 areas :

What will this accomplish?

2. Gibraltar : who ever controls this can pass through between there and Morocco

Rules change not a map change

3. Denmark : who ever controls it can pass through sea zone 18

4. Norway : who ever controls it can pass through sea zone 17

5. Maylay : who ever controls it pass through sea zone 70

Same answer as Gibraltar

6. add in polisti (the main oil production for Germany , inside Romania) for Romania as a victory city

I moved the Factory back to Yugoslavia so i decided no victory city was needed and I couldn’t figure out what font was originally used

7. Change name of Cairo to Egypt : and make Cairo a victory city inside it.

Lack the letters on the Map with correct background to copy and paste into place, and again the font issue

8 ) add Portugal beside Spain as neutral (will join axis if attack) and Azores belong to them too

Azores are on the map, and I tried drawing a border and it didn’t look right

9. Iraq was actually pro axis , so at least make it neutral (join axis if under attack)

The European game has it as British so I left it the same

10. add in whales for mainland England

Space is congested enough, not enough room for another territory

11. add in northern Ireland as England controlled separating from Eire

again, space constraints due to piece size

12 ) add in Belgian at where it was

not enough room on map

13. add in Cherbourg at western France as victory city

France already has Paris

14. Split Yugoslavia into two half  , the inner land first half still remains Yugoslavia (inner land) or as Croatia  as German control, All the shore areas are into one new area (maybe something like Italian owned Yugoslavia) this area connects mainland Italy and Greece / Albania together

Why does it need to be connected? It is surrounded by friendly territory.

15. add port in Vladivostok

There is a port in the japan sea zone already

16. add Soviet convoy at sea zone 134

Soviets already make alot

17. add German convoy at sea zone 18 (all the Sweden minerals are imported there)

Not enough space on map

18. add British convoy in sea zone 64 (Suez was the most important supply line for Africa)

without looking at which zone is 64, Indian Ocean already has 2 convoys for UK and there is simply no room for one in the Med.

19. Argentina would turn axis if under attack ( they were pro axis at the time )

Rules adjustment, not a map adjustment

20. Brazil would turn allies if under attack (pro US they were)

I made them neutral for that reason. Axis powers can’t get there B4 US anyways

Thank you for your feedback, but my technical skills are not that sharp, I did what I could with the map given to me to work with.

I understand that there are also a few spelling errors still, but no where as many as their where. Any who, hope these reasons of mine are a satisfactory explanation for you.

Honestly, I have not…… yet

Too much on my plate lately. And to top it all off, I have a Son Due on Oct 26th, so I have been really busy. But I promise I WILL check it out

I edited the first post with some rules that we use for this map.

If anybody has any good suggestions for a Italian National Advantage, I would love to hear about it

Europe at Set Up

USA E. coast Set up

Pacific Set up

Asia at set up

Most of Russia set up
