Larry Harris' website had been shut down - and is back again!

@Krieghund thanks for your answer.

Find new rulebook files for

1941

1942 Second Edition

Europe 1940 Second Edition

Pacific 1940 Second Edition

On the respective game’s page klick on “Instructions” to download the latest rulebook file.
Currently all files are from 2021.

However I have not had time to check whether they inlclude any new wording.
But it is always a good idea to be up to date.

Discuss the specific rulebooks/rules in the respective game category, please.

More news has been released about Larry’s new game. Nightingale Games have posted a video about it online which I have linked below.

It will be called “Imperial Borders” in which players will use both diplomacy and might to conquer Europe after the Napoleonic Wars have ended.

Hey everyone, sorry this is a little late.  The dicetower is a website that produces some of the top reviews (video) and podcasts in the boardgaming world.  They have a partnership with coolstuff.inc (top online retailer of boardgames) so that should tell you something.  They give excellent reviews.  For the last couple of years the show’s host Tom Vasel has allowed the people to choose the top 100 boardgames for that particular year (usually Sept.).

Tom has reviewed many many great games and is a pretty good reviewer in my opinion.  However, he has not reviewed the lastest Axis and Allies lineup.  He doesn’t really care for the game, so it gets no publicity or love- at least from him.  This is our chance to voice our opinion about AA.  900+ people have voted already and the poll can be compared to boardgamegeek.com poll.  What’s nice about the dicetower poll though is that people can only vote their games positively not vote down or negatively like boardgamegeek.com.  This give this particular poll some better credibility IMHO.

Anyway, go vote, it will take 2 minutes.

1. Go to this site: http://www.dicetower.com/

2. On the top bar click “Top 100”, then “People’s Choice Voting”

3. Register- Name and email only (emails are not shared).

4. You may be returned to the homepage after registering so then just repeat step 2, log in and vote.

Ranking your top 20 games DOES matter as games near the top will get more points.  Collectively it would help if we all could rank AAE40, AAP40 and AA1914 in the top 3 spots with maybe AA42 and AA42 after if you like.  You don’t have to fill out the rest of the spots unless you want to.  There is an automatic search engine that looks for the game as you type it in and press “search” with the corresponding BBG number (boardgamegeek.com listing).  You should always check this to ensure you have the right version as there are over 30,000 games in the BBG database.

Voting will close sometime Wednesday or Thursday Tom said so don’t delay!

Vote:

1. Axis and Allies Europe 1940 (bbg id: 61692)
2. Axis and Allies Pacific 1940 (bbg id: 55829)
3. Axis and Allies: WWI 1914 (bbg id: 133956)
4. Axis and Allies: 1942 (bbg id: 41863)
5. Axis and Allies 1941 (bbg id: 123158)   :-D :-D :-D

This year, I’m trying to push out new articles once a week. Here’s one by Zhukov44 to start the new year:

Click here to sign up for the tourny:

This is a tournament using NEW WORLD ORDER Small’s mod,

Tournament money donated by ‘Railroad’, a big fan of the map.

Completely Free Entry, free to join and play

$200 USD in prizes.
1st gets $125
2nd gets $50
3rd gets $25

Games must be played using TripleA game engine

The tournament is scheduled to begin 1 September. The STRICT deadline for each game being the end of the month, preferably finish way sooner. Any player that has not submitted a result in time or atleast emailed Smalls to explain why unable to finish in time, will DEFINITELY get a loss for that game. Rounds will overlap, once first 2 games complete Smalls will assign them round 2 opponents.

NWO Smalls map, again games must be played using DICE not LL, and railroad wants Smalls to compete in it too. Eliminated from the tournament after 2 losses. No bonus game vs Smalls at the end like last tournament. Games to be played with the lobby. PBEM/Forum is ONLY ok if both players agree to it. Most know when they should concede, but you get auto win if get both double opponents production and have more than 1000 TUV higher than opponent. Smalls has already taken into account that production and TUV values are not always entirely accurate.

If game isn’t finished by the timelimit, the judges panel will look over the saved file and decide the winner, with consideration given to availability of the players. Anyone not wanting to play in the tournament, and Smalls has played vs before, please advise Smalls if you willing to be on the panel.

I believe the map is balanced, but there will be a bid regardless. Normal bidding process used in other nwo tourny. Highest bid gets axis, negative bids fine. 1 unit per territory, can only place if same nation already has units there and if on land owned by that same nation. Person on left of draw page bids first. Bids can be in .5 increments ie elite costs 3.5. But 2.5 or 1.5 or 0.5 is not allowed. Players may withdraw from the tournament after any game, just email Smalls, their names will appear in red in the draw.

Winnings preferably sent with paypal, but will send bank cheque etc if you prefer. Use the join link to join, and until the tournament starts you can see the current entrants on the draw page.

Small’s Website

(sry for post in play by forum section, i didn’t realize it was only for play by forum games, and wasn’t sure where this should be posted…)

For an introduction to this map, see here:

This is awesome news!

Will AAE40 & AAP40 have the same rules as AA50 in terms of:

transports

submarines

prices

Between A&A (MB), AAE, AAP and Revised, we had four different sets of rules for transports and likewise for submarines.  :?   
It was okay when I owned all four and used to play all the time.  But for people who don’t play that often or who won’t own all of AA50, AA42, AAP40, and AAE40, it would really help to comfortably go from one game to the next if the basic rules are standardized.

Here’s hoping.
