Printing fixed object on the gameboard…

I mainly made these because I need  larger things to see and especially reminders what the national bonuses are for objectives. We always have a new player joining and he does not quite remember what is required to get the bonus.

On the battle board I added information about surprise attacks and anti aircraft as people forget to roll these first, Kamikaze information, and how to do strategic bombing runs.

I’m using a piece of rubber shelf liner (like ‘Grip-It’ on Amazon) between tabletop and each A&A board. Stuff is like $1 a roll at the grocery store. Slight dampening affect and definitely keeps things from sliding around.

Hi guys

Im pretty new to the scene and had thoughts of trying it out but need advice. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

The reason I feel it is only once per game is to make it so that the Allies can’t overpower Japan by making a few easy attacks and holding them the rest of the game while milking the “cash cow” of national objectives.  Besides a 20+ IPC a turn ANZAC can be quite the nasty little thorn when backing up 2 powerhouses.

I started a new thread so with all of the finished charts bundled into one pack along with screenshots of the finished product. This thread was getting a bit too long and i was concerned that it would be hard to find the latest versions of my charts. The versions of my charts in this form will be deleted in the coming days so check out the new thread.  Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

I went to my local Game Shoppe the other day to order Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear and the owner of the store said he is not so sure that AAP1940 is a limited run anymore. He said he was talking to the sales rep and the rep indicated that it will be around for awhile. I wonder if the game is not selling due to the issues of limited pieces and set up errors and other things that are mentioned in the forum? There are still 2 copies available for sale and he hasn’t sold one since I picked mine up when it was released.

I think AAE1940 will be the last AA game that I buy. I feel really let down by AAP1940 after the previous games have been of such high quality. The other games that I play, Memoir '44 and Conflict of Heroes have much better quality components and I think better game play.

Dont give sup Skinny…i have a feeling Avalon hill is going to make some great strides in the future with A&A

I just sent WotC another email asking for more Japanese tac bombers since another thread has people reporting that they received some in the mail yesterday. If I do not receive any I will be done with Axis and Allies after AAE1940 comes out.

Here is the response that I received from WotC:

The units you see that were sent out in the forums were for for orders that occurred before Game Support had received the correct piece count for the game. So, unfortunately we cannot provide you extra pieces for the game. We do have a limited amount of replacement pieces, but those are for games that are defective, which include having broken or misshapen pieces, or if a game is missing pieces that are supposed to be in the box.

We do appreciate your feedback regarding the number of pieces provided in the game and have passed the comments on to the game designers.

Thank You

Here is the response that I sent WotC:

Thank you for the quick reply. Axis and Allies Europe 1940 will be the last of the games that I will purchase from your company. I find it very unfortunate that a game calls for 10 tactical bombers for set up and only 6 are included. I will be buying games from Days of Wonder and Academy Games from now on. I have never had this poor of customer service or have bought such a shoddy produced game in all my years of buying board games. This is a shame.

Thanks,

Im not a huge fan of it being 6 IPC rather than just 5

China shouldnt get special treatment……even though they are treated in a special way

Thanks!
