Thanks guys, I will let you know what I decide and how the game turns out.

I am running A&A revised at a convention this weekend. 4 hour time slot (I know, I know )
I want to use special victory conditions, 9 cites total or 1 Ally capital falls, same with the Axis.

I want to give out national advantages to each nation, possibly even more than one to speed the game up.

Any suggestions?

I know I want to give the US mechanized infantry… because that really helps them get into Africa quick.
Other than that. I dont know.

Bear in mind, I want ones that are going to speed up the game.

Not bog it down, so Germany’s Atlantic wall is a no-no.

@Wrongway:

Explain this bid process to me. Maybe its a suggestion I can make in my gaming circle.

The Axis have only been victorius twice, with the Allies winning all the other times.

OK, I’ll do my best:

Before the game each Team puts forward a bid for playing the Axis. Lowest bidder gets to play the Axis.

Say Team 1 bids 16 IPC and Team 2 bids 20 IPC. Team 1 wins the bid and get to play Axis.

Now Team 1 is allowed to place units and/or ICs to the board for a total value of 16 IPC (if they put less to the board, they get to bank the cash difference).

ANY space where Axis forces exists from the start is eligible for placement of these bid units.

For example, team 1 may place:

1 German inf in Libya
1 Japanese Tank in Manchuria
1 German sub in Southern Europe

or

1 Fighter in Finland/Norway
2 Inf in Finland/Norway

You may place the units in different regions, or all in the same region.

They may place all units to the German starting forces, to the Japan starting forces, or a mix of them both. However, you may not place German units in Japanese territories, or vice versa.

Basically, that’s it! After putting the bid units on the board, game starts as normal with R1!

So these arent actual IPC’s that come out of your nations income?
Ie. they are auxillary IPCs that all players and or sides start with.

With like a ceiling of 20 or something?

Explain this bid process to me. Maybe its a suggestion I can make in my gaming circle.

@Guerrilla:
