Thanks to Oztea’s suggestions. I had been trying out to improve the current AA50 map and setups that can play on BBR for the past months. Just printed out a copy and test-played with my buddy… so far so good, still some minor balancing to do.
I wanted something in-between Anniversary and Global40…less rules and time consuming but bigger map. Since its a game im playing with my young son, i tried my best to add in some historical battles, figures and events into the map…inspired by Lt.Dan’s BBR Global40 map.
Next I will be doing up a 1940 setup.

Thanks for Dagon81 National Advantage cards that he designed for AA50. I took the liberty to put in additional cards to input more fun and challenges for the game with Bloodbath rules. Not for the purists but hopefully it will be helpful for the other players. Cheers!

The 6 main powers will starts with the “Base card that comes with red star” plus 2 random drawn NA cards. Every turn, continue to draw 1 NA card from the deck into your hand. China will be much simpler…Just the “Base card” plus 2-3 random NA cards before the start of the game.

There’s total 20 cards for each Power and 10 cards for China…Total 130 cards.
*do pardon my English grammar in it.

Please feel free to take and change to whatever you want.

Hi all warmongers!

I am Ron and discharged from military since 2016. I only started playing A&A 3 years ago. Loves the game so much that I bought D-Day to “entice” my son into it! I’m lucky to have a bunch of good buddies to play the game once in awhile but due to the current covid situation we have to stop for awhile. Be responsible and stay safe guys!

Ron aka Bigwatcher

Here’s the final map…not much changes.

@bigwatcher Looks very intriguing, does it balance out between the two sides and are All the territories still the same as OOB?

So far just tried 1 game and it seems quite balance, need a couple of games to confirm. Nope not OOB…i split some territories and added in a couple of seazones. Will be playing BBR so there’s Trans-siberia railway, oilfields, resources etc. I included the option of playing oil rules just in case. Instead of Juneau as one of the VCs, i changed it to Cape Town so hopefully there will be more actions in Africa.

@nolimit I see your concerns here… guess im just in a better position cos i got the Global40 game… just need the AA50 map to play with the existing game pieces. But after i bought the OOB map from Siredblood and played on it, I think there’s needs to add some “improvements” to the map hence decided to mod it…especially if i wanna implement BBR into the gameplay. :face_with_rolling_eyes:

@tincanofthesea yep…lucky that the country i come from is kinda small, meeting up for game is not a problem at all

Here’s the National Objectives for this Anniversary map and the BBR victory objectives for the Axis. Enjoy!

As an AA50 player, love this. I would also like a down link if available.

As long as you own the BBR Anniversary map and show me proof. I will send you the edited map. 👍

You can email siredblood@yahoo.com if you wanna buy the map from him. Cheers

@cernel Wow!..thanks for all these infos buddy, these will definitely be of great helps when im doing the next version of my Anniversary map. For the current map, its basically the AA50 OOB map with some add-in territories from the Global 40 map, I must admit not much details are put into the placement of the territories.

@GoekaWar said in AA50 on Steroids!:

@Bigwatcher Looks great!
So we discussed about this bedore, I want to pay for your efforts, so I can do this with Paypal.
So after that you can send me the file with map on high resolution to print.

Sure…Pm me for more details

Here’s the final map…not much changes.

@GoekaWar said in AA50 on Steroids!:

@Bigwatcher Any updates so far?

Hi…yes its more or less done. Sorry for the delay, it’s been a busy year and we need a few games to balance the map but unfortunately my group are not able to do it often

@Azimuth said in AA50 on Steroids!:

Very nice job, congratulations!

I would question some details (why Paraguay? Volgograd is very anachronic, etc.) but it doesn’t really matter in terms of gameplay.

Many of your changes are similar to the ones I am testing on my map (including things like having East Coast one sz further from UK/Morocco), so I’d be very interested to know more about the rules you play this map with.

Thanks… the idea is actually an in-between of Anniversary and Global 40 maps, would agreed that Paraguay seems like abit redundant but i dont understand why you think Volgograd is anachronic thou.

I’m in the midst of finishing up a 30 pages rulebook for this map with reference from Siredblood’s Bloodbath rules. The Battleboard and NOs are done and more or less a finalized deployment chart for 1941 and 1942. @GoekaWar …gives me another few weeks and i will posted it

@General-6-Stars

Actually its more of Siredblood’s AA50 map with additional territories and SZs inspired by Lt.Dans Global map designs :)

@GoekaWar said in AA50 on Steroids!:

@Bigwatcher Hi there Bigwatcher, How is the work going on, with that Great map?

Just printed out a sample of the map… will have some slight changes to it

@GoekaWar Thanks for your support!

With some free time on hands at the moment and also requests by the some members here, I had decided to restart my BBR AA50 project (lost my previous map when the harddrive crashed).

Will be using my old map as reference with some additional customizations. It’s gonna be a 2-3 months works and I’m not gonna rush thru it…PM me if you are keen cos it’s not free this time.

Gives me time…the previous map took me more than 6 months to do it. haha

I just started to redraw the map again…finger crossed! :hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed:
