Axis and Allies Express: 2nd battle of El Alamein

I am creating my own AAX (Axis and allies express) based on the battle of El Alamein

I have the starting locations

But am wondering whether or not to make it a hexagonal game like BotB or a territory game.

Ideas would be useful

Found this

Also wondering should I make each one of these divisions one unit or multiple depending on the number ofl units?

All help apreciated

Map version 1.0

Map yet be completed and going to be made to look nicer. No territory names yet

Map v1.1

@i:

are you going to make a reniforcment system or is the starting units on the board all you get?

No from the research I have done there appeared to be no reinforcements in the battle. However there will be air support. There will also be supply rules for advanced players.

@i:

okay thanks, i more question without reniforcments wont gemany/italy be likely to lose cause they will have alot less men?

Maybe but I will probably play test it and give the Axis specific victory conditions. Also remember the devils gardens because there will be specific rules which slow the allied advance and so the Germans/Italians should be able to take advantage of this

Good job Fox… This is really cool. But is there a reason for the division markers? Is that part of the setup, or…?

Thanks the Territory lines need to be edited so they look nicer. The divisions are there because that is where they initially started and the initial map I got of the net has them on it.

BTW here is the link for the thread about ABattlemap

Also if you want to get the G40 map go to the G40 forum and go into the thread Func’s G40 module

I have removed the road and the railway from the map do you think this is a good idea? Historically i could find no use for it except that it was just there.
