Cool new axis and allies website.

Well as Britain I bomb Germany constantly to lower their IPCs.
But I see what you mean, whichever game I play like this Germany gets really strong, but once Japan falls, America and Britain have it in the bag.

I was checking out ebay to see how it works. I didn’t expect to get it actualy, I was just seeing how the bid system works. 🙂

But it never hurts to have another set of pieces. Now I can do some customizing.

AXIS AND ALLIES IS WACK!!! 😉 :x 😉 :x 😉 :x 😉 :x 😉 :x 😢 :evil: 😎

See my post in the Software Forum.  There is an updated patch.

Thanks for all the great responses. I can see that storage options for the pieces are high on everyone’s list, followed closely by greater denominations for tokens.

It’s a shame that tooling custom plastic pieces is so complicated (and costly). I would love to include snapping boxes (like RISK used to have).

I thought was an interesting observation about the similarity in the brown pieces. I’ve never encountered any confusion, but I can see how it could happen.

(dezrtfish, I know what you mean about storage options. For AH’s ASL, I keep my pieces in hundreds of film canisters that I got from a giant film processing company in town. They work great…but are too small for A&A. Maybe empty peanut cans or large baby food jars would work.)

(Maybe, Thoes.)

Thanks again everyone!

I like different scenarios, might try one if I can find time and players.  Have a game coming up, but I think its only going to be normal rules due to the people there.

Maybe its on your site and I missed it, but one alternative I have used when there are six players (rather than opening two boards for two simultaneous games) is to split the USA down the middle.  Take the Eastern USA as one player with everything east of mid-North America, Western USA with everything east.  The Western USA forces can be identified with a marker.  The order of play would be USSR, Germany, UK, Japan, USE, USW.  All other items stay the same.

Hmmm… I wasn’t able to find them either, and those cards had some very nice pictures. Oh well, try

I’ll try to look for them on the internet later tonight 😎

BigBlocky relax, man! 😉

The “when the Axis meet in Persia, they cannot be knocked off their inertia” is just a general rule of thumb, not some kind of victory condition! With that in mind, Morphling was just saying that when the Allies meet in Berlin, the game is probably in the bag for them, as the Axis generally can’t win on the force of 1 alone.

The only “official” victory conditions are military victory for the Allies (capture 2 enemy capitals); military victory or economic victory for the Axis (capture 2 enemy capitals, or have a combined income of 84+ IPCs at the end of any round of play). Anything else is a house rule or special rule…
