  @simon33 We played two games all weekend, we quit the first one just to start again, and then got to round 9 in the second game before we had to quit Sunday. We determined that a 12 round game (which is the end round) will take approximately 2X 10 hour game days (that’s casual game play without rushing players or trying to speed things up).

  Oh I see your point with marines being a smaller Inf group. You know that ain’t a bad idea. Being there a special little assault group. Plus from what I’ve read they were a little better on defense. Like in my game d12 there A4 D5. They only get the Art boost A +1. Another question is why don’t Inf get a D +1 with an Art on defense also ? But another topic. Transport capacity units. Inf or marine / Inf Inf or marine / AA Inf or marine / Art Inf or marine / Tank Inf or marine / Mech 3 marines only alone I would have it Where you can transport 3 marines only on there own.

  From playing my china mod I have come to the conclusion that letting china simply have artillery won’t really askew the game. Chinese guerrillas must still remain in the game unless you make the economic boost for china +2 for each burma road territory. But putting in the artillery aspect is a must since it does increase the fun factor and strategic options for china. If japan is not careful china could have some artillery pushing into the north or retaking lost territory in the south. All I know for sure is that +1 for each burma road territory is not enough money to offset japan leaving a troop behind for the guerrilla rules.

  I played my first game of Amerika last night. It was pretty easy to learn once I was finally able to remember which sculpts were the self propelled anti-aircraft units and and which ones were the self propelled artillery units. It took awhile to play because I was carefully going through every step and double checking to make sure I didn’t develop any bad habits as far as the rules go. I can see being able to play a game in under 2 hours including setup if you had 2 or 3 players who already knew how to play. That would be perfect for the lake in the summer when you go into the cabin to wait out a rainstorm. A&A on the other hand would be more of a whole day this is never going to clear up type of game. It’s a good game and very well made. I picked up the Strategic Markers expansion set with the game but didn’t use any of the extra rules that come with the pieces so I could learn the game first and decide which rules and extra pieces would be appropriate to make it a better game. I did find the map a little small so I am going to get a bigger one for use at home on the big table. I like lots of elbow room and space to line up my tanks without using chips. In the game the Japanese got bogged down in the northwest with the allies holding the line at Hanford Nuclear Research Facility. They had better luck in the south moving inland and taking out Los Alamos NRF. The Germans made it as far as Detroit in the north and Nashville in the south but couldn’t capture Oak Ridge NRF. On the fifth turn the allies were lucky enough to roll big and go first, which meant that they had 2 turns in a row and were able to take back Los Alamos and 3 cities and accumulating enough points to win the game. If the axis would’ve went first on the fifth turn it would have been a different outcome and they might have won on the fifth or sixth turn. It all came down to that one roll…

  WW2 in Europe/ Europe at war Questions and suggestions So after having read the rule book and getting a feel for the game and its mechanics, I’m now ready to play a more serious (solo) game. However, I do still have a fairly large number of questions: 1.) Does attacking artillery also fire in the shore bombardment step? The rules suggest that it does as it states: “artillery that fired in step 2 cannot fire now” or something along those lines (land combat sequence). Mt 2cts: I suggest renaming “shore bombardment” into “opening fire” when it comes to land combat. I’d also go for giving both sides a choice: Either fire your artillery in the opening fire step and any casualties caused are removed immediately (firing side’s choice on a roll of “1”) or attack/ defend during each round of normal combat along with other units. In this case any casualties caused are always the owning player’s choice. 2.) I still don’t really get that under some units it is stated that on die rolls of “2” they can choose which unit is hit, but then strangely enough it goes on to say that this is always the owning player’s choice. What exactly does the  firing player get to choose then?! My 2 cts: allow the firing player to choose the target rather than the owning player (and on a 3 or 4 in case of a tactical bomber, for instance, the owning player decides. 3.) Can the Russians attack the lone Polish infantry on their side of the demarcation line in Fall ‘39? The rules say they may move into the areas designated to them, but it doesn’t say anything about attacking. My 2 cts: Allow it! This is also what happened historically! 4.) Illustration Page 9 advanced rules: Assuming Belgium is being attacked here for the first time and is therefore suffering from the penalties related to “surprise attack”, how can they possibly reinforce Liege from Brussels as the rules state that units suffering from surprise attack may not move, neither in the movement phase nor in the blitzkrieg phase. Or is this done by “British” units (as the Belgians are now represented by British units after having been attacked) using British redeployment points? From the example I certainly don’t get that impression…I assume this is a faulty illustration?? 5.) Does the UK collect money from the neutral territories whose forces it represents? I guess not, but just wanted to make sure… 6.) Do neutrals get to build any forces if they are not defeated at the end of a turn? My 2 cts: I’d allow them to build units up to the value of the territories they still control, as long as they are still in possession of their capital (to be placed in box 1) 7.) Can ships belonging to belligerent nations pass through ports [with ships in them] belonging to neutral powers? (I.e. French and British ships, for example, while not yet at war with Italy could pass through the sea zone containing the port of Tripoli or French ships could trace a convoy through the sea zone containing the port of Barcelona). My 2 cts: I’d leave it to the nations controlling the port; they can either allow it or deny it. A denial would not be a declaration of war! 8.) Please emphasize in the rules that if the Axis attacks either the USA or the USSR prior to Spring 1942 both can only receive up to 25% of their income. This is a bit vague. 9.) Why do fighters have such a low combat value when it comes to attacking ground units? (and why such a high one while attacking other air units)? 10.) If I understand it correctly the “4” combat value of fighters is only used in air to air combat? (I.e. escorts vs interceptors and when air units ONLY meet in a certain territory? (for instance in order to pin enemy air units there?) 11.) Was an air-to-air combat phase deliberately left out of the land combat sequence? It would make sense to me if attacking and defending aircraft would first engage one another and that any surviving fighters and tactical bombers (from both sides) would then  get to make a(n) (pre-emptive) attack against an enemy ground unit of their choice. 12.) Do naval units exercise sea control while still neutral? (i.e. would Italian naval units and tac bombers  -that are still neutral in 1939- inflict movement penalties on e.g. a British convoy? My 2 cts: No. Not until they are at war with one another do such penalties apply 13.) While a (major) nation  is neutral, does it receive supply automatically or does a convoy still need to be established to receive supplies from overseas? 14.) Is it possible for naval units of befriended nations to ever share a port together at the end of a turn? (E.g. British ships in a French port; when dropping off transported units the rules state a transport must return to its port of origin, so e.g. a British transport transporting a unit to Brest would have to return to Bristol rather than remaining in Brest, right?) 15.) The text underneath “Minor flag space” differs significantly between the basic and advanced rules. Is this intentional? For example, in the basic rules it says that units located in a minor flag space only suffer the movement penalty in case of a surprise attack, but this is not listed in the advanced rules. 16.) Why does Italy receive money from the start for Tripoli while the UK doesn’t for its African territories? Because the UK is at war and Italy is still neutral? 17.) Are British and French naval units also bound by the rules governing surprise attack in Fall ’39? If so, this seems like the time for the Germans to attack e.g. Scapa flow!! If so, would the port bonus apply regardless? 18.) It took me a long time before I got the air redeployment example. Air units can only land/refuel/rebase on “factory spaces”, right? And not on NRZ’s? I take it they can also refuel on carriers? 19.) Can air units with a movement value ever fly from the US to Britain or is the only way to do this by means of transporting them by ship? (refueling on Iceland still doesn’t give them enough movement points). 20.) The US starts with $20, however its income is $50 (1/4 of 200). Is this correct? Or do they get to spend $20 on their first turn and afterwards $50? If I’m not mistaken neutral countries do not get to actually buy and place units until activated?(But they do get them to advance up the build boxes?) 21.) How is a convoy set up to the Pacific holding box? (simply to the “picture”?) 22.) What happens when a convoy needs to spend more than 10 mp’s? Does this then count against [naval] rp’s? Do rp’s then need to be saved from the redeployment phase?

  This scenario begins in Dec 1941 with the japanese attack at Hawaii. Germany is on the gates of Moscow and pushing her last strength to capture Moscow. Germany: mediafire  .com/?duc0i56nloytkr0 Japan: mediafire  .com/?p17vuxrevhd9c76 Italy: mediafire  .com/?86c8pi8ghttdmnq Soviet Union: mediafire  .com/?4un2eblj2z5p7c3 USA: China/ ANZAC mediafire  .com/?jd8afnqgggpbf50 UK: mediafire  .com/?5kwbnbiwey8aci1 This uses all the Alpha rules except as follows: On the first turn all Allied Naval and Air units defend at ONE. Land units fight normally. 2)The Japanese may attack the Soviets only by announcing one turn before this intention. The Soviets can attack japan only if all Soviet territory’s are under Soviet control. The new turn order: Soviet Union, Axis, Allies Lend Lease: The US or UK player can send income to the Soviet Union. Procedure: Buy a transport(s) and place it off board in a Lend lease Box. These transports can’t be used for any other purpose and the Allied player can just exchange them back to IPC’s as he wishes. Roll one D6 for each transport and place the IPC’s under the transports in the holding box. This money is deducted from a players treasury and the Lend Lease can never exceed a total of 30 IPC’s Interdiction: Any axis Submarine, Plane, or Surface ship located in open sea ( not Baltic, Black, Mediterranean) can deduct 2 IPC each from this total. If they are located in a convoy box, they can cost 3 IPC each from this total. Minor Axis Allies: Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary have unique forces ( use German pieces) these automatically join the axis on turn 2. They can freely move on that turn and Germany can move into them or build units ( Romania). I will also make note that this does not use any NO’s or Tech. It is a streamlined version of the game and based on Historical setup. Some elements of UK and China where altered for game play situations, so the set up is not exactly Historical in these cases. This is a balanced scenario and if players want to see what things looked like in the situation of Dec 1941 will really enjoy this module. I don’t think the game needs a Russian winter clause, the Soviets will move first. are in position to make a good dent in the German line. Enjoy, it took like 20+ days of decent hours to sort out all the information from many sources.

  The majority of this content was inspired by Imperious Leaders Global 1939 setup. This edition is tailored to be utilized on the OOB Anniversary Edition Board. With several modifications, Great Britain is now 2 separate territories (Scotland and England) and Japan is now two separate territories (Hokkaido the northern Island and Greater Japan) also the sea zone of japan is split into two 62a and 62b these territories are nearly split naturally and don’t hinder the game performance. see Pictures below. These rules employ all of the rules for AA50 including the optional rules. These new existing rules are added and supersede and replace out of the box AA50 rules where applicable. Winning the Game Victory Cities On the map are 21 victory cities, all crucial to the war effort. The selection of the 21 victory cities was based on the historical importance of the city at the time. “Importance” could be measured in terms of strategic location, industrial base, resources, or other important strategic factors. At the end of the United States player’s turn, check to see if either side has won the game based on the victory city condition you are playing to. Default “Surrender with Honor” 17 Option 1 “Projection” 15 Option 2 “Total War” 21 If your side controls enough victory cities to achieve the preset victory condition, you all win the war. Otherwise, start a new turn and continue the conflict. Order of Play: Starting Income Wartime IPCs: are the Sum of all territory IPC values under that Nations Control Germany: starts with 24 IPC gain income from Finland and Romania if not conquered each round France: starts with 10 IPC Soviet Union: collects 20 IPC at war with Finland. (neutral till turn 3) Wartime IPC at 28 + more depending on the outcome of Finnish war and other Neutral Conquest. China: 0 Japan: starts with 17 IPC United Kingdom: starts with 34 IPC Italy: starts with 12 IPC United States: collects 20 IPC (neutral till turn 4) Wartime IPCs begin at 37 General situation: Germany: Begins at war against Poland (limited to no ground forces on Franko/German border able to participate in attacks against Poland Turn 1), also at war with France and England. Neutral with Russia until round 3. Total War: The German war economy increases by 10 IPC starting on turn 4. Italy: Is neutral until they activate earlier (declare war), or when Paris Falls (defeat of France). Italy can attack neutrals and avoid a general war, but cannot enter or fly over British or French territories. Japan: Begins at war with China. England and France declare war on Japan if they invade into any Neutral, English, or American territory (this includes passing through sea-zones). May enter into an agreement to split the territories East Indies and Borneo with England if England agrees to close the Burma Road. Enters at war with England if England activates a Pro-allies territory of East Indies or Borneo. America will declare war on Japan if Japan enters into any US control territory or sea-zone. France: Begins at war with Germany. When France falls (when Paris Falls), the territory of Algeria is turned into Vichy French and the territory belongs to the Germans and Germany is allowed to place 2 Infantry into Algeria the French forces there are removed from play if any. All remaining French forces that existed when Paris falls, are under British control except naval. These remaining French forces are considered Free French. All other territories that did belong to France are now totally under British control and Britain then collects the income for these territories. French Naval disposition: Procedure: Roll one d6 for each French ship: 1 = Scuttled by English 2= interned (remove from play) 3= interned (remove from play) 4= interned (remove from play) 5= German ship 6= German ship England: Begins at war with Germany. British controlled units may not enter any French territories, except France proper while France remains unconquered. Neutral with Japan unless Japan declares war or enters into any British Territory or Sea-zone. If Japan enters into a Neutral Pro-allied Territory then England and France declare war on Japan. Enters at war with Japan if England activates a Pro-allies territory of East Indies or Borneo. Russia: Neutral until turn 3 with Germany and Italy. May attack any neutral territory and pro-axis territory without entering into war with the axis. Non aggression pact with Japan until turn 4. China: Begins at war with Japan. May only move forces in and out of Chinese territories (Yunnan, Chinghai, Suiyuan, Ningxia, Hupeh, Fukien, Sikang, Kiangsu, and Manchuria) may also enter into the English territory of Kwangtung if taken by Japan. Every two territories under Chinese control can build one infantry. If they count an odd number, the fraction allows China to produce a unit equal to 4 IPCs if Burma Road is open. United States: The United States remains neutral unless attacked until turn 4. If any Axis player gets inside a sea zone adjacent to any US-controlled land territory or island, the US player will go to war with all Axis nations. US national production starts at a total of 20 IPC. Each new turn once at war the income grows and they can Lend-Lease income to UK. Starting on turn 5, the Soviet Union can receive this aid (lent on turn 4, received on turn 5). Once the United States enters the war on turn 4 or sooner, her income continues to grow each turn, until it reaches a total of 60 IPC. No matter what; the maximum amount of Lend-lease support is capped at 15 IPC to both UK and the Soviet Union during wartime. During her neutrality, Original American pieces remain in setup and cannot be moved. Only newly built naval or air units can be moved and only to sea zones or territories adjacent or within her national tokens as printed on the map. Summary of Income: Turn 1: 20 and no Lend Lease Turn 2: 20 and up to 5 Lend Lease Turn 3: 20 and up to 10 Lend Lease Turn 4: 37 and 10 Lend Lease Turn 5: 37 + 5 and 10 Lend Lease Turn 6: 37 + 10 and 15 Lend Lease Turn 7+: 37 + 15 and 15 Lend Lease Lend Lease: American aid to UK and/or the Soviet Union must go to purchase non-infantry types of units. The money is allocated on the American turn and spent on the following UK or Soviet turn and placed in an off map box known as a lend lease mobilization box. All aid has a one-turn delay, so the Soviet Union won’t see any money until her 5th turn. Losing your Capital: When you lose your capital, you immediately lose IPC equal to the value of the territory from your previously collected income total. Other Cities and Factories within your territory are still able to produce units. If a nation is reduced to only their capital city and this is taken then all saved IPCs are handed over to the conqueror. Scorched Earth: Any territory under attack that contains a factory and is captured results in the destruction of this unit. The new controlling player may build a new factory however. Exception: Cities never lose factory capability Production Capacity of Cities/Factories: Victory Cities now have the ability to produce units up to a certain capacity equal to the territories IPC value this rule applies to the purchase and placement of new factories in a separate territory. For example, Egypt which now has the Victory City of Cairo has an IPC value of two so its production capacity is equal to that. Following the production capacity chart, Egypt can only produce units that reach that capacity limit. Example infantry have a capacity of one so Egypt can produce a max of two infantry or in the case of destroyers which have a capacity of two; Egypt would only be able to produce only one and then reach the maximum capacity. Repairing ships also take up part in the total territory capacity. All cities are considered to have ports and naval yards, but do not add to any additional movement points to units like Global Rules do. New Victory Cities to add are Cape Town in South Africa, Cairo in Egypt, and Tobruk in Lybia. Factories: Factories are allowed to be built in territories with an IPC amount of 2 or greater. These follow the same production rules as Victory Cities. Burma Road: Consist of the territories of India, Burma and Yunnan. If all remain entirely out of Japanese control, the Chinese may purchase any type of unit for China (up to an IPC value of 4) if an odd number fraction occurs with total territory sum. This unit must be placed in Yunnan. Japan and Britain may enter into an agreement closing the Burma Road to China if they agree to no hostilities between UK and Japan. This then will allow Japan and UK to split the money Islands for the resources. Fortifications: Fixed Fortifications are placed on Four areas of the map French/German border on both sides, Gibraltar, and Finland/Karelia border on Finish side. These fortifications increase Infantry and Artillery Defense to 3 but only if attacked at these border areas. An attack into France from the sea will not qualify the use of the defense bonus. In the event of multiple attacks into a territory by land such as attacking Germany from both Northwestern Europe and France the defense bonus automatically is applied. Repairing Units: Battleships, Carriers, and Tanks now take two hits to destroy. Can house rule to OOB hit points and Cost if desired. Any damaged units must be returned to a City/Factory to be repaired at a specific cost. Units returned to a factory or sea-zone containing one and are designated to be repaired are not repaired until the next turn of play by the owning faction. if an enemy nation that attacks these areas while repairs are being made the owning unit is still considered damaged during combat. Impassible Areas: Afghanistan, Himalayas, and the Sahara Desert are off-limits to land units. Air units may pass over them only in NCM phase. The Americans and British cannot enter the Baltic with airpower unless they control one side of the Danish straights. Scandinavia: Attacks against any part of Finland and Norway are only for one round of combat due to the rugged nature of the terrain/weather. Interception, Escort, and Scramble: Limited to only 1 Fighter or Tactical Bomber.

  War in the North Part 2: Speeding up the Timeline This depiction assumes your 3 “flex” infantry were placed in Georgia. I’ve been giving some more thought to the proposed attack on Norway (and into Sweden) and here’s what I’ve figured out: This move likely won’t work if you have to counter-attack Greece on round 2 You need to place some “flex” infantry in Orel, on round 1 You need to be able to place 3 infantry in Poland on round 2 (thus speeding up the “Baltic Wall” tactic) If you’re unable to do these things, then I would avoid this “accelerated” attack in the north. As you can see on the map, the proposed moves on round 1 leave you with 2 heavy tanks in Romania. These will be used as the main offensive units for this action, which is why the situation of a strong NATO landing into Greece on round 1 has the ability to derail this maneuver, as these tanks will be needed for that counter-attack instead. On round 2, whatever infantry you gathered in Komi must move to Karelia to support the attack on Norway. This is why we need infantry in Orel on round 1, so that we can move them to Komi on round 2 (replacing those units moved up, for the attack.) Also on round 2, we’ll want to move our heavy tanks from Romania to Karelia; this culminates in an attack on Norway in round 3. Technically, you can still counter-attack Greece, and then non-combat move to Poland, keeping your heavy tanks in range of Norway, but leaving them stranded there when they do attack. We want to set them up such that they can withdraw back to Karelia after taking Norway. On the other hand, if they can be provided with enough covering infantry in Norway, then they can attack Sweden on the following turn(s), and be repositioned to Karelia after, which would also be ideal. The reason we want to complete the Baltic Wall early, is so that the Norway attack can coincide with our move out of West Germany and into Switzerland. This might not be a necessary move, so I’ll explain the thinking behind it. Essentially what we want to do is bait NATO into moving their navy into the Baltic Sea, as well as to land their bombers in Norway, so that we can trap the former and destroy the latter. On round 2, we should be able to place 31 infantry; here’s how I would suggest spreading those around: West Germany: 4 inf Poland: 3 inf [Balkans]: 4 inf Karelia: 4 inf Georgia: 3 inf Kazakhstan: 2 inf Turkmenistan: 2 inf [Pakistan if controlled, otherwise Mongolia]: 1 inf East Siberia: 4 inf Kamchatka: 2 inf North Korea: 2 inf If we do this, and we move our infantry out of Orel on the same round, this leaves that territory undefended. Orel is in range of paratroopers from both France and the UK (where NATO bombers could reasonably expect to be stationed) but only if those bombers fly over the AA gun in Karelia, to land in Norway. This is an excellent situation for us, if we are in a position to attack Norway on round 3. If we keep our reserves nearby on round 2, then we are also well-positioned to counter-attack Orel, with infantry drawn from surrounding territories (primarily Georgia) and without needing to pull tanks away from our main frontline in Europe. Our heavy tanks in Romania (if not used against Greece or Yugoslavia) can also hit Orel on round 2, and end their movement in Karelia. Now, if we abandon West Germany on round 3, that means NATO can capture the territory (thus re-opening the strait to them) on the same round. If this is done on the WE or UK turn, then potentially UK and US ships can move into the Baltic on the same round. If we retake West Germany in force on round 4, we can trap these ships in the Baltic Sea. As such, we want to be in a position to take Sweden, closing the trap for good, and allowing us to permanently withdraw from West Germany. To facilitate this, we’ll want to place heavy tanks in Karelia on round 3. The placement of these units will be covered by infantry placed in Orel on round 1, moving to Komi on round 2, and then Karelia on round 3. Our combined heavy tank force (potentially including Reserve Group C) can simply move through Norway, to attack Sweden as early as round 4; they can either stay put, or move to Norway on non-combat (if we can get enough infantry fodder to Norway at the same time.) This means that deployment of heavy armor to East Siberia will be delay until round 4 or (I would recommend) round 5. Ultimately, South Korea is not much of a prize; we mainly want to concern ourselves with keeping North Korea under Soviet control. We also have to decide early on whether to commit our reserves to this northern initiative, so pay attention to the result of other battles, and be mindful of the global situation at all times; whichever reserves we commit to this plan will miss out on one (or both) of our attacks against India. Reserve Group A can be move to Kazakhstan or Ukraine, and still effectively counter-attack Orel; it just depends if we want them to commit them long-term to Europe or to Asia. If they attack Orel from Ukraine, they can be moved to Karelia for a follow-up attack on Norway, if needed. Likewise, Reserve Group C can strafe India on round 2 (ending in Sinkiang) and still hit Orel on round 3, but with no movement left to reposition. Ultimately, it’s a matter of balancing out the amount of force to apply to each theatre, and where you want to commit your units long-term.

  OK Another update. The scans for Xeno’s World at War and Pacific complete, each file is around 690 MB in PDF, But i need somebody who knows Photoshop ( I am an Illustrator guy) to perfect the lines from the folding map. I’m looking to the people who did AA classic for assistance. Also, where do i send these files. Dropbox wont allow this size file but i will try.

  For the past 3-4 months me and my two Axis and Allies friends, after getting bored of the normal game, have been developing a version of the game sort of like Risk with the improvements of Axis and Allies. This took a long time, the board is not meant for this so through trial and error for many months and dozens of games we have developed a very good system. We have discovered that we enjoy this better than the actual game. In the beginning we just made every territory worth 1 IPC and manually chose starting factories (major) for 3 powers. Major factories could produce 5 units and Minor factories 3. We would then roll to see which player would play which starting factory. This worked. However, there were problems like never ending games, where one player would become too powerful and the other two would team up until it evened out. Another problem was the use of factories to defend territories. Another problem was the Eurasian players became too powerful. There were many many other problems. Thus, we balanced it all out to what we have today. I will explain what it is so that you guys can play if you want without going through months of trial and error. This is a three player version but should work with more. Setup: Each player rolls a dice. The player with the highest roll will choose their first capital. This can be anywhere but Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Central America or Southeastern Mexico (these would be too powerful positions in the Americas). You may choose, capture, and control all neutral territories that can be in the normal game. You may not settle on islands (not including Australia and Britannia). The capital they choose will start with a major factory and a tank. The player with the second highest roll does the same. Then the lowest roll. Then, the highest roller chooses a second capital no less than 8 land and/or sea units away from their first this territory also starts with a tank and major factory. The other players do the same in the same order. Then choose which capitals will be which powers based on how many roundels you project they will need (a player needing few could be Italy while one needing many could be USA). The turn order is the exact opposite order that the capitals were chosen. If 2 players have capitals in the African continent each African territory is worth 2 IPC otherwise they are 1 IPC each. If 2 capitals are on the American continents each territory is worth 2. If only one capital is on the American continent each territory is worth 1 and all territories on the opposite American continent (if in North then South, if in South then North) have 1 neutral infantry on it to defend (we use Chinese infantry) We also use oil, iron, and wheat markers randomly placed throughout the map (by numbering each territory and using a random number generator). A wheat is worth 1 extra IPC, iron 2, oil 3. Islands including Britannia and Australian territories, are worth 2 IPC each. Gameplay: The game is played just like a normal Axis and Allies game. We use technology but a different system which I will not describe here right now. One of the most important parts of the free for all rules is limited communication. Nobody can talk about strategy or about the current game. This is to avoid alliances and teaming up. When that happens the result is a never ending game. It’s kinda lame but you just talk about other stuff while you play. End: The game ends when two players surrender to the other or one player controls all the capitals.

  Does someone know if there has been any progress so far? It’s a pitty we always end up having new iterations of the global maps or pacific/europe scenarios and not other theaters of operations.
