@thrasher1 Maybe it is time for me to thank some people. The people who came before me… All the guys (and maybe girls) at game magazines who published Axis and Allies (and Fortress America and Shogun related stuff). I never got one of these magazines myself however.
But for now: a big shout-out to these pre-internet guys! If anyone from you is here on this forum: please send me a message if you want.
Axis And Allies spring 1941, spring 1942, spring 1943, and spring 1944 setup for Axis And Allies 1940 game board
-
Actually, I really just found out yesterday, and the 1942 version I used was not from Oztea- I’ll go check that out later. It’s nice that Oztea’s 1942 is biased towards the Axis, because I always play (and root) for the Axis.
Thank you for responding!

@superbattleshipyamato123 Also I’m not sure that a 1944 setup would work well, especially if you want it to be historically accurate. I mean d day was June of 44 so it would be the first turn if the game, maybe 2nd and Japan arguably was strongest in 41 so they’d be quite weak. The game would be over like turn 3 or 4.

Also I haven’t tried it bet but The Captain made a 43 setup -
Thank you for responding!
I am aware of this, but it involved some new units that come with the Axis And Allies 1940 House Rules Expansion, and I said that I didn’t want any changes in rules.
As for a 1944 game, I just wanted to see was there even a remote chance of the Axis winning in the game-if there was a one in a billion chance that the Axis could win, I would like to see how they could win-I like to play Axis And Allies games for experiments, usually against myself (so balance is never that big of a factor for me, or at all).

@SuperbattleshipYamato123 yea Oz’s 41 is the best imo. If you read through his thread, you’ll see he answers some of your questions. The main thing is the farther from the start date, the more limited everything becomes.
At any rate, he has a 42 and 39 as well. Charles De Gaulle has 39 also
You’ll just have to test your ideas or test ones others already have. It’s time consuming : ) even if it’s fun : )
-
Thank you for responding!
I already found out about the games you mentioned, and as I said, these games are mainly for experiment, to see how could the Axis win, especially in the later years. I will check out Charles De Gaulle’s 1939 game (too bad it’s not the real guy, who commanded Allied forces almost from the very start of the war, and I like to think the real guy would know a lot about how to exactly create this game, since he was actually in the war, and a high ranking one a that).
-
@superbattleshipyamato123 never know maybe it’s him reincarnated :)
He’s got a good play group and they’ve tested a lot of stuff. haven’t seen him around much lately
-
Thank you for responding!
I checked out Charles De Gaulle’s one, it looks interesting, but I’ve found so many different customs to the game that it will be a while before I get to it, but it looks great.

@SuperbattleshipYamato Hello it’s me! FranceNeedsMorePower
I will come up with a setup for you starting with 1943. Give me some time though.
-
Thank you so much! It’s been very hard to find any setups online. Once you’re done I’ll probably create a TripleA version.
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato What map? Global, 1942, 1941?
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato I will send you the setup up in a google doc link.
-
1943 and 1944. 1941 and 1942 are relatively easy to find (Oztea’s setups are great).
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato I mean the map style. 1941 map, 1942, map or global map.
-
Let’s start with the Global map.

@SuperbattleshipYamato This is a link to the setup for 1943 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SBMP1AYyDYJXPmo6uGpkWUh2YrCo_2OCepK0gY3WcjQ/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you so much! I would like several clarifications though:
So the air bases and naval bases from Queensland and New Zealand are gone?
Does the US have a minor industrial complex or a major industrial complex? It’s not clear.
Several of the starting incomes for the powers (such as Italy) don’t match their national production value (the combined IPC value of all territories controlled by a given power, excluding bonuses and saved IPCs). Is this intentional? Thank you!
There are both Italian and British naval units in sea zone 96? Is this intentional?
Nothing in Gibraltar, Malta, and Caroline Islands either?
Are there any British units in Kwangtung?
So there is only 1 tactical bomber in Manchuria?
No naval base in Malaya?
You list Japanese naval units in sea zone 91 twice. Which one is correct?
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato There is supposed to be airbases pops. The US has all Major. The starting income from Italy is different because the British have 2 of their IPCS. But then they gain two from Greece so it would be 10. No I must have missed typed something for the sea zones. There should be stuff in those three places opps No because the Chinese liberated them. There should not be any because it is Japanese controlled. The First one. If you could fix my misstakes in google Docs. I will make you a editor.
-
Thank you!
I have several more questions:
No facilities in Normandy Bordeaux or Southern France?
The game rules mean that the German industrial complex in Paris should a minor one, yet you have it listed as a major. Is this a mistake?
No units in Karelia or Vyborg? They’re on the frontline.
Here’s the file so far (let me know what’s wrong or missing):
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato I fixed it, it is all good now.
