What We Want the Next AA boardgame to be.

@Emperor_Taiki:

I am having the US fight the Soveits would be a little refreshing for A&A players

So like a 1948 kind of scenario?
And what about the other nations?

Well, I prefer a 1980s scenario, like Red Storm Rising or Red Dawn

but for a 1948, which certaintly would have more similair units with the regular A&A, I would suggest that the countries would be the United Kingdom/Commenwealth, as well as a France/West Germany/Italy hybrid(European Coal Comition or what ever that 50s EU was called) and Communist China. Also there should diplomatic rules for Allainces Like NATO and Warsaw, organizations of nations like the Arab League and the Organization of American States, as well as rules for decoliniztion and non-alligned nations.

WWI for sure.  Might be more difficult to set up but I think it would awesome.

WW1 could be fun, but each turn should represent 6-8 months if the game is to be exciting and not boring(on an strategic scale/A&A scale) like the real war was.

How about Axis and Allies North Africa?

Now you got it Brain. An AA North Africa game With a decent size board that shows the whole Mediterranean area with lots of sea zones and lots of land zones in N. Africa so we can have maneuver room at sea and on land. That way we can have sea, land and air battles and use all of the sculpts.@Brain:

How about Axis and Allies North Africa?

I could definitely go for a North Africa or an Operation Barbarossa game.

Yes,@Brain:

a Barbarossa game with lots of land zones to allow maneuver.

North Africa seems to be the best option:

1. Chance for new Italian units

2. Cool early war German tanks

3. Fluid battlefront, with strongpoints (Tobruk)

How far should the map go. It shouldn’t show Germany so how would they work. PS vichy France units would be cool.

Well perhaps we will just have to make our own using FMG units.@reloader-1:

@cminke:

for get it. LH said no N africa, although i LLLLLLLLLLove the idea.  :-)

When and where did Larry say no? And did he say what was a possibility?

on a more serious note I would like to see a pacific edition. But not like the new 1940. I would want to see one with several different boards, Midway, Iwo Jima, Philippines, Hong Kong, etc. with several different setups each. I would also like to see a different colour of units for guerillas.

@Emperor_Taiki:

I hate star wars

:| :? :x :cry: :-o

His Mitachlorin levels are to low I Guess

I hate starwars? Dude I feel for ya, that movie was life changing for me as a 9 year old boy from small texas town. It opened my eyes to the fact I could do anything I set my mind to. But at least we all share one common love here…Axis and Allies!

I would buy an AA Star Wars game.

I’m pretty sure you’re not alone on that one :-D.

Seriously, though, I want a Russian Front AA, with the cities being able to be held by both sides at the same time. Maybe rules for the onset of Winter, USSR’s virtually endless supply of men etc.

Stalingrad please!

I’m quite fond of Star Wars: The Queen’s Gambit, though it’s a bit more like Battle Cry than A&A.  There’s a lot more to the strategy than one would think given what people have written about it.  Someday I’m going to write a detailed Queen’s Gambit strategy article.
