The War Game - Massive Axis and Allies Variant

[Adlertag]

Problem solved, I use the black pieces for France, and the dark blue for Germany. Germany dont need a navy anyway. And 7 infantry is enough, since Germany rarely conquer many territories.

he does sell extra pieces email him and buy what you need. I am sure he will just sell the blue pieces, but you will have to find your own white flags.

I got the A&A50 thinking it would be the ultimate wargame.

But i have just finished ordering Wargame WWII,and it seems to be what A&A50 was now.
The Idea of Spain and the other noncombatents actually getting intoit seems great but the only problem i have is it does not have a Cruiser mold,and it's all the same,just diffrent colors.But the quallity of them is A#1.

The map looks very nice,and haveing France in the fight makes it all the better,aswell as China not being someones you know what.

Field Marshals:
Do they add +1 to your units' die rolls or subtract -1 from the die rolls???
If they add +1 to your die roll how can that help?
The rules says +1 to your die roll??
Don’t you want low die rolls??

Neutrals??
Are the neutrals garrisoned with their own troops at the beginning of the game?

Do they defend with their own troops/units or do they only get that one roll referred to in the rules on p23?

So if the attacker attacks with more than 1 unit he always takes the neutral country right?
Becz the defender only gets one die roll??

Confused! Help?

BB’s repaired??
I can't understand the BB repair rules?
Are there 2 different ways to repair a BB?
What does location have to do with rolling a d-12 die?
Does the location change the roll result needed???

Defender retreat??
Can the defender retreat at any time?
How is it done? Just announce which units are retreating and they can not fire?
They only take hits after the rear guard takes the hits?

Lend lease between Germany and Italy??
Can Germany lend lease to Italy?

Combined arms?
Is there a combined arms rule which rewards diversified attacks?

They benefit you on defense or attack, so a unit hitting at 4 is now a 5.

Neutrals??
Are the neutrals garrisoned with their own troops at the beginning of the game?

no these are optional and if anybody attacks THEN you set them up

Do they defend with their own troops/units or do they only get that one roll referred to in the rules on p23?

They defend like anything else

So if the attacker attacks with more than 1 unit he always takes the neutral country right?
Becz the defender only gets one die roll??

Confused! Help?

I dont play with that rule. Never have

a damaged BB you roll a d12 for cost of damage. If its light damage you can repair at sea, if heavy you need to go to port. read rules on this for more.

Defender retreat??

you declare whats retreating before first round, on second round you retreat the units allocated and they are not rolling on the round they were declared. The attacker must ask for retreat declarations before combat starts. At sea you can block retreats by having one ship in each adjacent SZ. If the units defending only last one round any factories are considered captured and cant be what we call "crunched"

Lend lease between Germany and Italy??
Can Germany lend lease to Italy?

no its not in the rules

Combined arms?
Is there a combined arms rule which rewards diversified attacks?

no. only what we call "rommels rules" in which tanks aid infantry in attack and infantry aid tanks in defense.

[Constantinople]

are there set up charts for neutrals?

[Adlertag]

are there set up charts for neutrals?

Yes, but you will have to find your own white flags for the swedish units

I wonder:   

will the new AAEurope/Pacific board size eclipse the size of this board??

Larry Harris says the new board size(s) will be huge!!   

[Imperious Leader]

no way. That map is bigger than huge.
