Isn't there axis allies anniversary box art pdf?

Hi all!

I’m new to the game, having lucked out on a bargain War at Sea Starter set!
So that’s my fleet extent right now, though if there are any players around Portsmouth to Southampton who want to play, Im more than happy to expand my fleets!

My ‘Weekend’ is actually Wednesday and Thursday, so free anytime on those days. I work unsociable hours and so would be available for late night/early morning combats on any day really… If anyone else is about at 1am…
However, as I say, anytime Weds/Thurs.

If there is a more popular version than War at Sea, Im happy to give those a try. Euro theater '44 seems oft talked about… And my interests are primarily ww2, naval and armoured warfare. Ill give anything a go though!

I also have Battle of Britain by PSC games, which Ive never played as everyone I know just sees the rules and says’ lets just play Dday Dice or War at Sea shall we? ’

Though I realise this is the Axis vAllies forum, just letting folk know what I have to play with!

(Also everyone plays 40k…all my local game clubs are friendly as anything, and people will drop their Space Marines for some ww2 Naval Tactical gaming… But haven’t found any people that would make it worth me buying a full on Battlefleet yet!

So if you are in these areas/times or know of any clubs Ive missed, let me know.

Thanks all, and game on!

Just gonna say we use NA, Event cards, Tech and NOs in my game and it doesn’t throw balance off. This all depends on how you have it in game. Example as Axis roll said yes we roll for each country 2 NA you get at start of game always.
Event card each country draws at start of there turn so every body knows what they can do not do or loss or get something.
The NOs are just for 3 Island groups controlled in game. Tech is a 10 tech table and yes random die roll after break thru but not all techs are good for your country. Not trying to say nothing negative in how you guys play. Just ideas here.
Low luck has its moments too. Guys want the normal die roll risk and it does represent in game morale, supplies, accuarcy and such and such.

Axis roll its funny to see when guys roll for that NA at start of turn !!! lol

Updated. Simplified the rules more.

Hello out there,

I am looking to add to my collection of Table Tactics pieces. I have collected a set or two of the normal Table Tactics A&A expansions (A&A Accessories, Central Power, New World Order, and the A&A and Risk expansion Risk 2042). What I am looking for now is harder to find.

I am looking to buy a few more sets of Table Tactics Central Powers. If your set looks like the picture below, that’s what I’m looking for:

I am also looking to buy sets of Table Tactics expansion expansions. Let me explain. Table Tactics made three sets of other sets of pieces in different colors for those playing with different games, such as Xeno Games The World at War and the Revised edition of Axis & Allies.

One set was called “More for Your World at War” and contained pieces from A&A Accessories and pieces from Central Powers in three colors corresponding to piece colors from The World at War. One set was called “More Units in More Colors” and contained pieces from New World Order and pieces from Risk 2042 in three colors corresponding to piece colors from The World at War. One set was called “New Edition Colors” and contained pieces from all four of the Table Tactics expansions, corresponding to piece colors from A&A, Revised.

The picture below should help explain things. If you have Table Tactics pieces in colors from the top row of that picture, that you would like to sell, please send me a PM. If you have Table Tactics pieces in colors from the bottom row of that picture, if they are pieces from Central Powers, that you would like to sell, please send me a PM.

And that’s what I’d like to buy, in the new year.

Edit: two small clarifications

Thanks…I looked there and didn’t see it. Appreciate the help.

Yes, you can move them around, but you have to wait until your next turn to do it.

Clever thread title… +1 karma.

Edit (title is completely relevant to your post - sorry, was reading very late at night)

I second Dondolee’s thoughts.  When starting out bear in mind how the game is ultimately won - for the axis, by taking Moscow before the allies can take either Rome or Berlin.  It’s a race to see who holds out longer.

Japan should efficiently grab land in the first two or so turns, build up factories in South Asia (rounds 1-4) and then ply tanks and infantry through India > Persia > Caucasus > Moscow.  Send enough troops through China and Siberia that you’ll have enough to punch through, but sending the bulk of your force on the southern route.  As you play more games, take note of which strategies allowed you to occupy territories faster and get a better flow of troops to russia.

Italy and germany’s role is to stay rich and keep russia poor.  They generally don’t have enough power to crack russia without some early luck, so you just need to treat 'em rough and keep 'em honest.  Never let russia get their 10 IPC objective - this is a death knell.  While you want to deny and pressure russia as much as possible, your main task is to not let UK/US kill you - a tough balancing act of agression/defence.  There are many ways to skin this cat, but piles of infantry and scattering of tanks are the best place to start from a learning perspective.  You’ll soon find the limitation of infantry - while extremely cost effective, they can only be in one place at a time.  It’s hard fighting two wars that are 5 spaces apart. While boats and planes pack less punch for the money, they can threaten a much larger area.  Once you get a handle of the flow of the game, you’ll find many ways that german planes and boats can improve your effectiveness.  As dondoelee points out, this is playing with fire and you expect to get burnt a few times while you figure it out - start simple.

Cheers

Yea, but the beautiful thing about this map is, Germany and Italy are two spaces away from each other.

Odds are, if one can be counter attacked, then so can the other but neither can just run infantry from one to the other without tanks.
