Are there any Mickelson's AAEurope40 Natl Production/National Objective Charts

@fatal_papercut:

I just realized that I cant invade through turkey unless I declare war on all strict neutrals.  is there a big downside to that??Â

The downside is that, when you invade a strict neutral, every other strict neutral starts to lean in the direction of your opponents: if you’re an Axis power, all the strict neutrals become pro-Alllied; if you’re an Allied power, all the strict neutrals become pro-Axis.  This means that your opponents can walk into those countries and take control of their income (if applicable) and their standing armies (if applicable), without meeting any opposition, whereas you can’t do the same: if you enter a “pro-the-other-side” country, it behaves like an enemy and you’ll have to fight its standing army, if it has one (check for the silhouette of an infantryman on the map, with a number next to it indicating how many infantry units are present).  In essence, invading a strict neutral gives your opponents the chance to pick up lots of free infantry units.  (Incidentally, invading a strict neutral doesn’t exactly involve “declaring war” on the strict neutrals in the same sense as declaring war on a player power; it simply changes the political status of the strict neutrals.)

They start with major ICs in Europe 1940 and in Pacific 1940.

Minors that automatically upgrade to major when at war in Global 1940.

Hi there i just found my old Axis and allies Europe i don’t know if it is first or second edition but i googled it and i think have the first since there is no japan. But i opened it and started reading the game manual and in there it says i need something called a National production chart but i can’t find it in the box or anywhere else. So i was wondering if you could print it out somewhere on the internet.

Well, if it has a blue France, then it is Europe 1940. If France is a light brown, then it is the Original Europe (1999).

There are two versions of Europe 1940. If each country has its own colored anti-air guns, then it is second edition. First edition aa Guns are little cardboard tiles that are all the same color.

As for a national production chart, I am not sure how you get one, but it is easy to make your own. What it is for is tracking how much money a country is making. For example, If Germany lost all of its territory except Germany and West Germany, it’s income would be 10 (5+5), and have a German marker at 10 on the chart. All you do is use excel or something and create, say a 6x10 chart with the numbers 1-60 in order. Use the countries’ markers to track how much each makes.

It’s also possible that 2nd edition has the production chart on the board (the numbers at the top).

I once played a game where Germany attacked with a good force, France rolled 7 hits of its 9 two combat factor units. France lasted till turn two. However germany took france and Britan on turn 2 which turned the tables for an axis victory.

The justification is that the US had a tiny peacetime establishment, while the USSR already maintained a huge army.  The jump towards all-out war production was much bigger for the Americans.

Larry Harris has confirmed that there should be around 20 units defending Russia’s eastern front.

This seems a nearly dead thread, but since FMG isn’t selling any replacements for the cardboard counters, I thought I’d share what I’ve done.

I use old Diplomacy naval (extruded anchor) and army (extruded star) pieces, as naval bases and air bases.

For minor/major ICs I just use old white and grey AaA ICs, as I’m guessing many others do.
