@Midnight_Reaper I hope AH/MB will forgive me :)
I guess we’ll see. I’m glad you posted them, as now we have them for posterity.

I would not call these sets of rules ‘expansions’. For me an expansion must have some physical components. So say someone would have released New Rules + New Battleboard + some new units… I would call that an expansion.
If rules only then I would simply call this ‘set of house rules’ or even just ‘house rules’.
But it is good you compile this list. Keep posting!
Well, it’s a list of expansions, with “semi-official rules” listed by exception from the author (wave). But yes, I was hoping some knowledge people would come by and try to help me out and it seems my hopes came to pass. And for that, I’m glad.

Europe at War: EaW was released some years BEFORE ‘Axis and Allies Europe’.
Pacific wat War. PaW was released about two years AFTER ‘Axis and Allies Pacific’.
Both are stand-alone games.
Actually: Pacific at War (Xeno) is a relatively good game. Board is mounted. And I like the naval track from UK/London to the actual map :)
I can move EaW and PaW to stand-alone games. I think I had them there before while I was editing and then threw them under Xeno before I finished up.

As AH was bought by 1998 and Axis and Allies Europe was released late 1999 (but only really availible in 2000) I think the watershed here can be: 2000.
OK?
You were much closer to this at the time than I was: if you say the cut-over was 2000, I’m fine with that. It’s a nice round number to use anyways… ;-)

So then let’s add to this list:
Conquest Gaming:
- Operation Barbarossa
- Conquest of the Pacific

I already have those two listed as “Games that are expansions”, on that posting.
And let me finish up by saying: “Thanks for coming by, and thanks for taking the time to help me out with this.” I remember going to your page back in the day for news about A&A and hashing out this conversation takes me way back. Thanks for the information back in the days before Social Media, and thanks for your help now.
