  @SuperbattleshipYamato well it was alot different back when we allowed Politics to flourish. Mary and Jennifer used to get into great battles, then we had Sexual Harassment Panda, Mr. Smith, et al who posted like 30 times a day. I recall about 3 others who were nasty but eventually drifted off under a rock.

  @The-Captain Hi again. I live in Copenhagen. I don’t have any experience playing with HRE rules, and you guys are probably way too skilled for my level, but maybe I’ll return for the 7th. Then i’ll be more experienced.

  You can try eBay. Some people buy whole games and sell the pieces off separately. That can be a good source for little bits, when you don’t want or need the whole game again.

  @DoManMacgee said in Gen Con 2025 - AAR:

  I forget what the appropriate Board for Tournament AARs is so apologies in advance. @Panther just move this wherever it needs to go. I don’t mind.

  Totally fine here, as these are AAR about the OOB-game.

  Thank you for the write-up. Interesting read.

  Howdy, you get what you put into it, the figure cards reminds me of the minis, in the old Buck Rogers in the 25th. Century Game.
  You can always House Rule the game, to one’s delight. I plan to RoundRobin it, in the near future(another post, another day).
  I already gotten some minis from my old die casts Triacs and Vrocs sets.
  Adding to the game fighter bombers, hover copters, VTOL Fighters that operate from the Cruisers, Recon. Jeeps, and, a “Sour Grapes” land missile carrier.
  You can order the Bucket of Modern Air and Sea Forces, where you can pick up some nice nuke attack submarines.
  Also APCs and Hover tanks, from Fortress America and transports from A&Allies Games.
  Supplements of Forces will add more spice to your gaming, it work wonders for the old Buck Rodgers game.
  My RoundRobin will only use the original units of eight, that came with the game.
  After all Zvezda used the Command and Colors system quite nicely for some of their games.
  G.I. Joe powered by Axis and Allies rules will go quite nicely, give it time.
  Who knows what the future brings, Lord of the Rings Battle of the Five Armies powered by Axis and Allies would be interesting, thanks, Pellulo

  @Krieghund Thank you for the swift reply. I don’t think that thought crossed my opponent’s mind (we usually play Global, so the idea of attacking Germany…and leaving oneself open to counterattack…is not on the radar).

  Zombies is a different game.

  @Faramir

  I haven’t tried the Korea move yet. To me though, fewer units earlier seems better than more units later.

  Once again, I’ll test it out. China may be harder with a bid which would require more units than usual.

  Re: Best Strategy & Tactics For Both Sides Well I just finished 2 games as the Central Powers one with contested territory and one without… I somehow won both!! Both of my opponents were very capable but I figured out a way to win. If you are playing with the allies I have no strategy for you but here is my strategy for the CP contested territory version as that is what most people are playing. Here goes:

  AH: Charge your navy at Italy because there is an ok chance you might win. Then attack Venice with both of your adjacent territories. Attack Romania with all of Budapest and Galacia. then move troops from Vienna and Bohemia to Galacia. After that you can attack Russia from both Ukraine and Sevatapol with those forces because as you will see with Germany Poland will be tied up. It is pretty self explanatory after that. I bought a battleship every turn just to keep Italy from being able to land troops.

  Germany: Throw all your navy (including subs) at Brittons home fleet on the first turn then take out Belgium with Alsace and the rurh’s forces and move Munich’s into Alsace. that will settle the western front for a while. so move the men in Prussia and Silesia into Poland(no mater the amount of Russians) then send everything else to the Russian front. I also bought a battleship a turn untill my navy was completely destroyed then I bought 2 a turn. you should also probably send a few extra troops to the western front each turn just to help out a bit. after that it should be self explanatory. But I would suggest going straight for Moscow instead of signing the armastice unless you don’t have enough troops.

  Otoman Empire: Don’t buy troops… ever… just buy battleships because if Italy’s navy gets destroyed then you can go after Brittons fleet. You can hold out with the troops you have already until your fleet is ready. also I chose to attack Serbia with the Bulgarian troops I got but it’s kinda up to you.

  As you can probably tell by now the CP need lots of navy to survive not just stonks of infantry. I also employed a very swift advance on the Russians and bogged down the allies with as little infantry as needed. A timely purchase of tanks will secure your victory on the west after the fall of russia. I really hope this helps!! And have a fun time playing the CP!!!

  @Rescue55-joe I believe the “10 IPCs for each country” that you are referring to are actually the National Control Markers, which are used to track both conquered territories and national production levels. As barnee pointed out, IPCs are not physically provided, and the Rulebook instructs us to track them on paper, but any proxy (such as Monopoly money) will do. See page 7 of the Rulebook for details on both National Control Markers and IPCs.

  In a nutshell, the National Production Track is used to chart your “income” using a National Control Marker. and every turn the “money” goes into your “bank account”, which is represented by IPCs, where it can be spent on new units (or saved for later).

  I hope this helps.

  @Mn-guy Yes, other units can participate in the sea battle. Other than being a prelude to an amphibious assault, it is just like any other sea battle. The rules on page 15 mention only battleships and transports because they are the only units that can participate in the land battle.

  As a side note, attacking air units must, of course, be assigned to either the sea or the land battle, as indicated by where they end their combat movement. They cannot participate in both, even if the amphibious assault is against an island.

  @Imperious-Leader Minor Axis Units – Strategic Use Guide

  Note: AI was used only to enhance and correct my wording all ideas are from me.

  Utility Roles

  Minor Axis infantry are perfect for jobs you don’t want to waste German troops on:

  Blockers – delay Soviet advances while your main German force positions for an attack.

  Gap fillers – plug holes in your line when you’re thin on units.

  Meat shields – soak up hits in battles so your higher-value German units survive longer.

  Rule of thumb: let them take the hits, not your Germans.

  Extra Artillery

  Minor Axis artillery are identical in stats to German artillery.

  If you run out of German artillery sculpts, you can buy Minor Axis artillery to keep your combined-arms firepower going.

  Sculpt & Sniper Preservation

  German infantry are the only Axis Infantry that can become snipers in the Stalingrad City board.

  If you run out of German infantry sculpts outside the city, you can’t get new snipers by purchase.

  To prevent this:

  When you need more infantry for the wider map and you’re low on German sculpts, buy Minor Axis infantry instead.

  This keeps German infantry sculpts in reserve for sending into Stalingrad where they can become snipers.

  This won’t happen every game, but when it does, it can save you from a late-game sniper shortage.

  Final Takeaway

  Minor Axis infantry: Don’t buy them unless you’re protecting German infantry sculpts for sniper conversion. Use the starting ones for blocking, filling, and dying in place of Germans.

  Minor Axis artillery: Worth buying if you need more guns or run out of German artillery sculpts.

  Treat Minor Axis as expendable auxiliaries—freeing up German units for the real work.

  Just wanted to chime in on some of the posts here. Funny that the year A/A is putting out a game corresponds to one I have been working on for longer than I would care to mention. Below is a ChatGPT assisted write up of all I am putting into this game! Looking forward to hearing anyone’s thoughts.

  STALINGRAD and the Battle of the Caucasus
  A Historical Strategy Game of Oil, Urban Warfare, and the Turning Point of the Eastern Front of WW2.
  June 28th, 1942 The Axis Powers launch their Summer Offensive: Fall Blau (Case Blue). Hitler’s dream of seizing the oil fields of the Soviet Union hangs in the balance. The road to Baku runs through Stalingrad and the rugged passes of the Caucasus. Will you take Stalin’s namesake city for glory and propaganda? Or bypass it entirely—striking south to capture Baku and the black gold of the USSR? Can the USSR trade space for time—building toward a thunderous counteroffensive to encircle and destroy the invaders?
  STALINGRAD and the Battle of the Caucasus is the result of over three years of design and development by game designer Stephen Prescott (stevepres25). This immersive, historically grounded wargame delivers a level of depth and strategic nuance rarely seen in the genre. With dual maps—one covering the vast oil-rich Caucasus region and the other focused on the brutal urban fighting in Stalingrad—players engage in a two-front struggle where oil management, encirclement, supply, and tactical planning are paramount.
  Play as the USSR, Germany, or the Axis Minors—Romania, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, and even the insurgent Chechnya. Gain historical Commanders such as Friedrich Paulus, Vasily Chuikov, Erich Von Manstein, and Georgy Zhukov who have unique and historical abilities that impact combat. The Axis Powers get assigned unique historical Missions and Battles that come with advantages upon accomplishment. The USSR play Calendar Cards each representing 2 weeks of battle that inject strategic and historic twists. The richly detailed units—some never-before-seen in this genre: Snipers, Mortar, Bicycle Infantry, Rocket Artillery, and more—each carry fresh characteristics that bring about more nuance in combat. Combat is more strategically varied as units may be routed—or captured and used by your opponent. Players face meaningful historical , to stop USSR oil flowing up the Volga, to disrupt Axis Supply Lines with the USSR Partisans, to conduct Urban Rubble hidden movement in Stalingrad, and to encircle and render enemy forces combat ineffective.
  Designed for replayability and future expansions which are already in the works, STALINGRAD and the Battle of the Caucasus features multiple ways to play:
  The Captain Edition: less units, simplified gameplay, great for learning the mechanics of the game.
  The General Edition: the standard edition, 24 unit types, the full set of rules and opportunities.
  The Battle of Stalingrad Scenario: a 2 player, shorter scenario that focuses on the street to street urban rubble combat of Stalingrad in the Autumn of 1942.
