• I need to look at the Europe map that was made by derPanzinator.

    Some people say this map fix the broken game.

  • Official Q&A

    It (along with other stuff) can be found here:

  • Thanks, one + karma to you

    Spain and Turkey really should have city-circles too, for Madrid and Ankara, that would be cool


  • This map looks insane! I love it how they made Russia more deep, so the Germans are more likely to get bogged down!

    Anyone played this yet? Can you fill me in on what its like, any details will do!


  • Thanks for nothing everyone :( No replies telling me if advanced was good or bad.

    Well! I played my first game today. It was alot of fun, albeit we struggled with intrepreting some of the rules. The subs are ridiculously powerful in this version. The German and Soviet land war is insane, by round 4 Germany was only spaces deep into USSR, and still had another three to get to Moscow. The addition of Italy makes for alot of fun, as well as the industrial complexes being spread out. I have to say I do prefer revised, but once I play a bit more who knows advanced may be more well liked. The thing I like about advanced is it forces you to do stuff. The Africa war for instance, the atlantic wolf packs, spreading out your forces because of the nature of the industrial complexes. So all in all a good game :)


  • It definitely does look like an interesting variant.  Adding territories to Russia does more accurately reflect the enormous distances to be cover inside of the country.  The subs definitely are more powerful, and the ability to counter them is more limited, although the assumed escort screen for Battleships and Carriers is a nice feature.  The addition of Italy is a big plus, but not sure about some of the IPC values and convoy routes.

    Tobruk was basically a moderately developed seaport that the British held to deny its use to the Axis, and what is called El Alamein is the Western Desert area of Egypt, and is just that, a desert.  The German-Russian IPC ratio is a bit too close, Germany should have more than Russia, and there is a bit of difference between the map and the rules concerning Siberia/Urals.

    By proliferating Industrial Center, the rules make it possible for the Axis to avoid having to build transports to move units to Scandanavia completely and North Africa to a degree.  Not sure I like that at all, given the effort the British spent trying to cut the Italy-North Africa supply route.  It does deal with the problems the British had of reinforcing the Mid East, and does make provision for Lend-Lease, but just to Russia.  The UK was also a major beneficiary.  The Strategic Rail Movement is nice, but because of the difference between Russian and the standard gauge used by the rest of Europe, you should not be able to use it to go from Russia to Western Europe and vice verse.

    It does give me more ideas for adding Italy to the game, but I probably will stay with the existing Europe map, and use some other ways of slowing the Germans down.


  • “Portugal” is a joke . Funny, Algarve is in “Spain” and Galicia in “Portugal” in this map :-D

    Now if you think that is funny, check out what they did to the border between Norway and Finland


  • Also Bessarbia is really looks weird too. Cool map though.


  • @Admiral_Thrawn:

    You might like the setup, Admiral.  The UK has a bunch of Industrial Centers, along with everyone else.


  • I love europe advanced. I created a NATO vs USSR version out of this map and it was real interesting. Also I made a D-Day and 1942 version from it too. Now that I think about it, I should make a 1939 one!

    Few questions about this: The Sahara province, can it be used, or what? Also whats the C planes? Are they like the patrols in AAP? Does anyone have an official rules for this, or is it perty much played out like the other AAE?

    If you add a 1939 version, you would need to think about whether you are adding Poland or just France, in which case 1940 would be more appropriate.

    As for the Sahare, that should be viewed as impassable, which is what it is, even today.  I am not sure what you mean about “C Planes”.  As for the rules, they are on the website along with the map, and are to be used in combination with the official out-of-box rules.
