RE: Napoleonic Wars Axis & Allies Style Gameposted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
@General-Day That’s awesome!
The Napoleonic wargame we created was also a collaboration between me and a close friend.
Would you mind if I asked whether you are creating your wargame for you and your friend to play or for commercial sale? If we sent you our map file and rules document, we would want you to recognize that we retain the copyrights for them.That formality aside, we’re happy that other people share our interest in a Napoleonic wargame - in our case based on Axis and Allies. If you’re interested, here is a link to a video we created of a trial game we played a few years back: https://youtu.be/p0tPHGrS8hw?si=Ot6skd6Ut7x8lmAC

@Witt Thank you!; While we do have a very outdated set up chart, we have mostly been going off of set up photos, which have just been easier to use. I am planning on making a set up chart soon, but for now here is one of my set up photos (Chip system is same as A&A G40 With Yellow = 10 units)

@GEN-MANSTEIN Yes, there are a few regular A&A pieces mixed in. I wanted to spend more of my time working on the game play rather than building the models, also I’m not that good at 3D modelling. I do plan to replace the A&A destroyer units with my own 3D frigate models:
A&A Friggate:
To be replaced with my version:

@GEN-MANSTEIN Thanks, I agree, custom painting them would look awesome but my painting skills are not at that level :)

Napoleonic Wars Axis & Allies Style Gameposted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
This thread is about Napoleon and the Coalition (NATC), a homemade game that some close friends and I have been working on for over two years now. We are great fans of Axis & Allies (A&A) but wanted a comparable game for the period 1805-1815.
Put very briefly, NATC is a game where you take control of the great powers of Europe during the Napoleonic Wars, and battle for control of Europe and beyond (from Great Britain to Persia).
As in A&A, there is combat, non-combat movement, collecting money and purchasing units, but NATC also has some diplomacy, leader units (Napoleon and Wellington), fortresses and fortified shipyards, special rules to cover the Russian winter & Spain flipping sides, and a whole host of other new aspects to provide the feel of Napoleonic warfare.
We created the map with the help of an outside designer, and some of the units were 3D made and printed by me, but most of the other components are from a variety of other games and sources. We will describe where the game components can be obtained on the game’s website (which is under development but should be completed soon). We will also be releasing more content about the game on the website, like videos and rules, among other things.
We (myself and NATC’s co-creator MikeF-AusTX), are happy to answer any questions about the game, and would love to hear any feedback, comments, suggestions or ideas. This game has been a passion project of ours for a long time now, and it is finally nearing completion.
Here are some photos of the game (note: the last 2 show an earlier version of the map):

@Young-Grasshopper I would like to be added to the G40 Invitational. Can you tell me what to do next?

Russian Ethiopia Bonus?posted in Axis & Allies Global 1940
So the other day I was playing a game of Global 40 with my uncle, and he, as the Allies, took the Russian units from the Caucasus and Stalingrad and moved them into the Middle East.
A couple of turns later (after capturing Iraq and gaining the 3 IPC bonus) he loaded them onto British transports and, utilizing multinational transport rules, unloaded them in Italian Somalia and Ethiopia.
By my accounting, this would give Russia an extra 12 IPCs (4 for Ethiopia, 3 for Somalia, and 5 for Iraq, including the soviet bonuses for owning these territories).
Of course there are limits to this move, but in most cases it seems like this is a logical and economically valid move to play.I’m not sure if anyone has thought of this before and it may not even be the best use of the Russian units, but I thought it was an intriguing idea and I have never seen it done before so I just wanted to share it.
This feels like the best use of a Russian tank, mech, and 2 infantry, am I missing something?
