Bob_A_Mickelson's AAE40 National Production/National Objective & Setup Charts

You get to spend all of your starting money at the start of your first turn. At the end of your first turn you get the IPC value of all of the territories you control (plus the value of every National Objective met). That money from the end of your first turn will be your starting money at the start of your second turn. Continue until game ends.

@Trapslick:

Is there a limit to how many units any air craft carriers or transports can take?

Air Craft Carriers can carry 2 planes (Tactical Bombers or Fighters, Strategic Bombers cannot land on carriers. So the possible combinations are 2 fighters, 2 Tac Bombers, or 1 Fighter and 1 Tac Bomber). Transports can carry any 1 land unit + an infantry (so 1 infantry + tank, 1 infantry + artillery, 2 infantry, etc.)

Your basic strategy is correct (there really isn’t much Russia can do in this game but delay the inevitable and save as many troops as possible for Moscow), though I’d emphasize the UK’s immediate priority is dissuading a Sea Lion attack (easy) and establishing Naval supremacy in the Med (usually not that hard after the Taranto Raid).
I would also heavily recommend taking S. France on Germany’s first turn and looking to help the Italians in the Med. In order to win as the Axis, you need 8 Victory cities, which means you have to take either Cairo or London, and the easiest time to take these are early game before the America come’s barreling in. It’s tricky, but this game definitely isn’t friendly to the Axis powers.

if you count the regular income from all nations together you come up to 149 IPCs. With the national Objectives you get an possible additional income of somewhat around 90 IPC at maximum. So if noone saves any money ever the maximum you’ll need at one point is somewhere around 240 IPCs. Now you might want to count in some savings and the possibility to change between the different denominations.
I guess to be on the sure side you should have about 350 IPCs. How many of which denominations depends a bit on what you and your buddies prefer. Would you want to have more then 10 1-IPC-bills? Or do you change those anyway to a 5 or 10-IPC-bill? And so on :wink:

@Vostro19:

Hi there i just found my old Axis and allies Europe i don’t know if it is first or second edition but i googled it and i think have the first since there is no japan. But i opened it and started reading the game manual and in there it says i need something called a National production chart but i can’t find it in the box or anywhere else. So i was wondering if you could print it out somewhere on the internet.

Well, if it has a blue France, then it is Europe 1940. If France is a light brown, then it is the Original Europe (1999).

There are two versions of Europe 1940. If each country has its own colored anti-air guns, then it is second edition. First edition aa Guns are little cardboard tiles that are all the same color.

As for a national production chart, I am not sure how you get one, but it is easy to make your own. What it is for is tracking how much money a country is making. For example, If Germany lost all of its territory except Germany and West Germany, it’s income would be 10 (5+5), and have a German marker at 10 on the chart. All you do is use excel or something and create, say a 6x10 chart with the numbers 1-60 in order. Use the countries’ markers to track how much each makes.

It’s also possible that 2nd edition has the production chart on the board (the numbers at the top).

@Rednalyn:

It would be nice if one could by the 2nd ed rulebook

Yes it would, printing out the set ups can get messy and lost easily, it would be nice to have a proper book…also a shame about missing out on all the awesome pieces.

Playin tomorrow, so, i should play with alpha 3?

You are, for two reasons.  First, subs fire or submerge before anything else fires, unless there is an enemy destroyer in the battle.  Second, air units can’t hit subs unless there’s a destroyer friendly to the air units in the battle.  So, in the case of only air units attacking only subs, the subs can submerge before the air units fire, but even if they don’t the air units can’t hit them.

@Dylan:

Do you mean beginner’s game or “beginner’s game” ?

I meant what I wrote, the game is meant for newcomers to the Axis & Allies universe, or for vets like us that want a short, quick game.
