Somebody please make a "MOD" of AAZ for Axis and allies 1940 global

@thrasher1 said in AAZ: Clearing an area from all Zs - while not gaining control of the area:

Imagine there is an area controlled by Zs (a Z control marker is there) and contains Zs.
You can during the course of a turn clear this territory from all Zs. While still not getting control of the very area.

I try to list all instances in which this can happen. If I missed some: please let us know and post them here. Thanks in advance of course.

Anyone can up with any new situations in which you get rid of all Zs but still wil not take control of the area after combat?
If you run into situations like this: please post. This is:

(1) Very interesting

(2) Can maybe point us towards situations in which there are rules issues

I voted indifferent because I’m still holding out hope that:

The undesirable zombies can be house ruled out.

The map is a good medium sized map (a la Revised/42SE).

The “1939 Scenario” that the WOTC rep mentioned in his interview with A&A.org a few months back is fresh/worth playing.

I’m still willing to hold out hope because the only objectively terrible A&A games are 1941 and Spring 42, the latter of which is only terrible because the small map made the game unplayable.

Slightly off-topic but I thought about the possibility of introducing these Zs to the not-official-but-close-enough-to-GameMaster-Series boardgame of Buck Rogers: Battle for the 25th Century…

@Narvik:

What happened to the Chainsaw Tanks ?

It would have been a cool piece, better than 3 different zombie sculpts

The Chainsaw tanks are in the game - it’s just that Chainsaw tanks are a technology that you research. There is no Chainsaw tank sculpt and I suspect there never was going to be a piece of plastic called the “Chainsaw Tank” - from Hasbro/WotC/AH. Mark my words, though - there will be purchasable Chainsaw tanks from Shapeways from at least one seller there before the end of 2018. By 4th of July, 2019, at the latest.

Time will tell.

As an FYI, earliar statements on the OOB rules having an individual winner in case of apocalypse turned out to be wrong.  It is the “side” that wins in that case.  Having an individual winner would be a tournament house rule.

I’ve gotten over the shock, and now every time I see this board on the forums I get a good laugh.  I honestly cannot wait until this comes out just so I can watch someone talk about it on youtube.

“If you role a one, your infantry becomes a Zombie.”

Oh, yeah.  Good lols.  This is going to be better than my nightmares.

@Krieghund ,

Thanks for reply. Of course I know this topic. But I thought it might be fruitful to compile all these issues that were brought up in that thread and other threads (and places like BoardGameGeek) and divide them into several subjects: combat / production / Z-specific rules / …

And then hopefully there will be an official AAZ FAQ soon.

Zombies makes it much easier for Sea Lion, it’s not a cake walk, but more doable. Because of the position of UK ships against Germany and because Germany goes before UK, Germany can effectively destroy UK’s navy. It also takes US two turns to reach London while Germany can do it in one and UK only produces 4 units against Germany’s 7 with 5 of that being on Germany itself. If Germany is able to wall zombies against USSR, it makes Germany using Sea Lion more doable.
