  Hello everyone! My name is Jamie Cyr. I’ve been playing Axis and Allies since the late 1990s and LOVE everything about the franchise.

  With the help of a close personal friend of mine, a U.S. Army veteran, I’ve created and submitted for approval in these forums a World War 3 version based on the works of Mr. Larry Harris and Renegade gaming studios. I hope that the player base and the creators enjoy this idea as much as my friend and I have enjoyed developing and play testing it.

  Happy gaming, everyone!

  How risky was the real WW II game for the players?

  Lets look into the 9 playable powers:

  3 players died in Round 23, all in april 1945.
  Adolf, the german player, commited suicide because he lost the game.
  Benito, the italian player, was hanged because he lost the game.

  FDR was winning the game, but died of natural causes just before cashing in. An intriguing fact is that if Wendell Willkie had won the election, and become the US player, he too died during the game, in Round 21, oct 1944. So either way a vice had to finish the game. In this case Truman.

  Also two ANZAC players died in office during the game. Michael Savage died in Round 3 and John Curtin in Round 24, the last round. ANZAC was played by 6 different players, starting with “Pig Iron Bob” Menzies and finishing with Ben and Fraser.

  The first UK player, Neville Chamberlain, resigned in Round 3 and died in Round 5.
  The most famous UK player, Winston, resigned in Round 24, the last round, and was replaced in the Victory Parade by Clement Attlee. Now that must have been disappointing to Winnie.

  None of the 5 french players died but 4 of them was arrested and spent some time in prison.
  Both Daladier and Reynauld were locked up at Itter Castle prison already in Round 4.
  Petain and Pierre Laval got locked op in Round 21 for switching to the Axis.
  de Gaulle would pop up and play France the last round, rejecting the Allied victory and keep a solo game going in the old french colonies all over the world.

  Of the main 9 players only Stalin, Tokyo Kid and Chiang would play from Round 1 to the final Round 24.

  Of the minor neutral non-playable powers, a lot of players would be arrested after the game, for being war criminals. Others would be assassinated during play.

  Poland, the first to fight, lost 2 great players:
  Ryds-Smigly in round 10 and Sikorsky in round 16.

  Metaxa, playing Greece, was possible poisoned in round 6.
  Tsar Boris III, playing Bulgaria, was possible poisoned in round 16.
  Stauning, playing Denmark, died in round 11.
  Ulmanis, playing one of the Baltic States, died in GULAG in round 13, and Smedina in round 21.
  Szalasi, playing Hungary, was hanged in round 23.
  Quisling, who tried to play Norway unofficial after the worlds first solo coup by a radio speech, and with no back up what so ever, and even during a german attack, in wich the german player Adolf nor any of his officers was prepared for this, is hanged in round 23.

  In China, the ROC- player Wang Jingwei is killed in round 21. The other puppet players to Japan, Prince De and emperor Puyi, spent some time in GULAG, but survive a short time after round 24.
  KMT-player Chiang survive round 24, but are soon to be replaced by Mao, playing CCP.

  The dominion players Will King, playing Canada, and Smuts, playing South Africa, are in the game from round 1 to round 24. Now that pretty much sums it up. Hopeful we won’t see this much drama on a Con, a Turnament game in our basement with casual friends.

  @Imperious-Leader I’ve drawn up Malta; it’s especially hard in AA50 because of geographical arrangement of the OOB board. Physical space in the Med is really tight, even on an enlarged map.

  That being said, I’m working in it, and the Azores too :) Maldives I haven’t started yet.

  @Krieghund Fair. The desire for the Renegade playtest staff to not be unfairly criticized is why I’ve been replying to these threads in the first place (like I said before, I don’t like back-seat gaming for others in most cases, as I think strategies/metagames should develop naturally as folks experiment).

  Like you, I think there are other reasons that the current batch of games are seeing reports of issues with balance/etc. from new/low-level players, and I am privy to keeping my opinions to myself (probably for the same reason(s), if I had to guess).

  EDIT: fixed some grammar flubs.

  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.

  @Warsaw44

  @Warsaw44 said in G40 - Bombing A Naval Base:

  … does it count as a movement to enter the territory the base is on …

  Yes.

  @Warsaw44 said in G40 - Bombing A Naval Base:

  … or is the naval base considered part of that seazone therefore saving a movement?

  No. The rulebook leaves no room for such an interpretation.
  See Europe 1940.2, page 27:

  “Naval bases can be built on controlled territories with a coastline, including islands. Only one facility of each type (industrial complex, air base, and naval base) may exist in each territory.”

  and page 28:

  “All sea zones that border a territory containing an operative naval base …”

  @lagouyn
  You never control a sea zone.
  Sea zones are either friendly (contain no enemy surface warship) or hostile (contain enemy surface warship(s)).
  The result of a sea battle is that you have cleared it of enemy units (or not).

  @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.

  I wanted to finish the Round, Cobra lost when the White C landed the trooper on that 1VP Island Hex, thus giving the Joes 10 + Victory Points at the end of the round.

  The lost of the Jet was worth it, as the one White trooper could not be lost.

  Since White was last in the round, it became moot to actually finish the round.

  Except for an open 2 VP hex, Cobra had 3 VP hexes and Joe had Hexes worth 10 VP. Except for Main Red Base, the other Cobra Bases are under siege.

  Left on Board: 2 Joe and 1 Cobra C, one air unit each side, 66 Joe Troopers & only 13 Cobra troopers.

  Next still on Scenario #2, the main units will be Snow Cat and W.O.L.F. Units, with a minimum of a C and an Air Unit(thus combine arms). Thanks, Pellulo

  What are people’s thoughts on the Maginot? Did it perform as intended?

  I think it did. It was meant to be such a scary defense line that the Germans would never dream of attacking it and force them to go through the low countries, where the main French army would meet them.

  But, I do think that it was too high an investment in resources compared to the results, even though it did work. They could have achieved the same result with far less commitment of resources.
