Axis and Allies Europe and Pacific

@Gewehr:

I love europe advanced. I created a NATO vs USSR version out of this map and it was real interesting. Also I made a D-Day and 1942 version from it too. Now that I think about it, I should make a 1939 one!

Few questions about this: The Sahara province, can it be used, or what? Also whats the C planes? Are they like the patrols in AAP? Does anyone have an official rules for this, or is it perty much played out like the other AAE?

If you add a 1939 version, you would need to think about whether you are adding Poland or just France, in which case 1940 would be more appropriate.

As for the Sahare, that should be viewed as impassable, which is what it is, even today.  I am not sure what you mean about “C Planes”.  As for the rules, they are on the website along with the map, and are to be used in combination with the official out-of-box rules.

I like to play where there are mines in the danish sea that act as anti-aircraft for naval units.  This really deters any major naval invasions of germany or shipping of troops to russia.

Also, to represent Germany’s superior armor, their tanks defend on a 3.

Finally, because the game starts in the spring of 41 and I like to think that one turn is a season, the United States cant enter play until turn 4 (cant do anything in the spring, summer, or fall), UNLESS germany attacks one of their shipping-box thing-ma-bobs or attacks any US units.

LOL… nice

Partisan Resistance
When the Wehrmacht rolled into the Soviet Union in World War II, it got more than it bargained for. Soviet citizens fought fiercely against German occupiers, engaging in raids, sabotage, and intelligence gathering.
You may end the battle after first round of combat when you attack, and stay in the same territory as the enemy. These units are locked in combat and can not move out of this territory before the opposing force is destroyed.

This last NA would let a minor Russian infantry-corps attack a larger German panzer army, and if some russians survive, they can stay in this territory and lock the panzer-army in combat. There are historical reasons to back this rule up. Since most Russian territories had forests, swamps, mud, dirt-roads only, and a long cold winter, it was easy to bug down the German advance. Russian units would hide in the forest, let the German panzers through, and then close the gap and do ambush-attacks. Also the russian winter would kill more germans than the bullets. Half of the attackers would freeze to death, or be sick from frostbites and cold desies, just like Napoleons Grande Armee 100 years earlyer.

Do you think this is a better NA than Rasputista or should I replace it with any other NA of Russia?

Rasputista
With heavy rains the landscape changed in a blurry mess of mud where vehicles and men got stuck and were unable to advance.
Once during the game in your collect income phase, you can declare a Rasputista. Until the start of your next turn, no combat movement for land units is allowed in any red territory.

I would love to see a PC version of (at least) Europe. It would make practice and such a lot more convenient, and reach out to a new audience (the PC gamer). I, for one, would love it even more on the grounds that I am a (n00b) AA guru, as WELL as a PC gamer (as I’m sure many of you are)

i dont think the axis has that much of an advantage in Europe. germany can be overwhelmed quickly if usa and britain get into the game early. as for pacific, i think japan starts out a little to beast as far as military goes. the aussie and american navies have to quickly take out japans navy to start taking the islands. india also provides an important chokepoint as well for japan that can be annoying for the allied player.

see pg 21 of the rule book:
“AA guns in a captured territory may not be moved in the same turn that the territory is captured”
