i need some clarafacation....

e. Fortification add (2) die 12 and defend at 5 or less

..what exactly does this mean?

ill be playing a 1939 game this weekend so any additional comments are helpful. 

sorry for not posting sooner, I've been working 84 hours a week for last 3 weeks. Ok, fortifications defend with 2 d12 and hit on a roll of 5 or less, all defending infantry and artilley defend +2.  All this is for first round of combat only.  Hope this helps. Also for fortifications we don't purchase any because they are so strong. If you wantto be able to build fortifications then I suggest increasing the cost....alot, maybe 20 ipc's

Because the force is with you. You're not suppose to need any help. LOL

ok good idea and they should be atlest 20ipc's  and thanks.  also what dice do you use for the game(most common) D12 or D10???

Tigermans rules uses the 12 die system.
Axis and Allies HAS to move to this system if new pieces like, Airborne, Commandos, SP Artillery, Tank Destroyers, new aircraft, SS,  trucks, new ships.
There has to be a system where you can have some room to use the many numbers needed in a 12 die system.

Hmmm... so when are we going to start seeing FMG custom 12-siders to go with the new rules?

[cminke]

that would be kool

[coachofmany]

FMG is promoting the 6 die system I believe.

Historical Board Gaming (HBG) promotes the 12 die system on my site as well as Tigermans threads.

   D12 system is better if you are going to have a wide variety of units. I used dice from the Battle of the Bulge game and also get red and white dice from historicalboardgaming.com. I'm hosting a Global 1939 game this weekend and I'm trying out 2 new units, a torpedo bomber for US and Japan and a Naval fighter for both. I'm also using a tech system that I found on the House Rukes board that i have tweaked and gonna play test. I'll have pictures and hopefully a good play by play of each round.
   
   The future of Axis and Allies style games, with all the new and different pieces comming out, will have to go to a D12 combat system. It only makes since.

Ah yes, I do seem to recall that FMG put together a set of set-up tables for a simplified game using the 1939 map...

Sorry, had a brain cramp there for a moment...

So when are we going to see a set of HBG custom 12-siders?

Not that I'm encouraging you to let the idea distract you from your roundel and piece-set projects, which I fully support... and am excited about.

[coachofmany]

The custom 12 sided dice probably will not happen. I have too much money and energy in other projects as of now. Won't count it out but not on my radar screen.
You will see some dice trays in the next few days on my website and another new item in a couple weeks. I am working on many projects as well as the new pieces which is consuming lots of my time and personal money.
Thanks for supporting me.

We used the d6 variant at FMGC 2011...  I will post more about it later.

All I can say is... AWESOME and EPIC!

Hey coach...

I was looking over your set-up charts and have a question: what do you use to distinguish SS Panzers from regular armor units?

Use my SS roundels from the special units.

Or

Color your panthers a different color, I sprayed some silver for one person.
Use the grey tanks from revised, I have those too.

I have got you coveted !
