Hello, I am CentralCommando, and I am a Axis and Allies fanatic.
My top three A&A games are:
Europe 1940 2nd Edition (1)
Axis and Allies Revised 2004 (2, don’t judge me.)
Axis and Allies Classic 1982 (3)

I hope this forum has a great future!

@Darth-Vahl The latter part of the description threw me for a loop, but no he cannot play this move, as the ship isn’t in a friendly seazone (at least, during a battle). Hope this helped!

I have never seen such a perfect introduction to the forums quite like this one. Get an upvote, you!

@vodot Sir, this is brilliant! I always though the Dutch East Indies looked ugly on that map. So with these overlays, not only does it look so much better, there’s more territories for more strategies! Also, this fixes my biggest problem with 50th: Italy. Italy originally only had three territories, and was overall irrelevant to the game as a whole. But here, There’s more territories for them, and a new pair of frontlines with IEA. Australia is improved too, which is a welcome quality-of-life addition.

@Commando-Brado Greetings, fellow commando!

@vodot Well, I look forward to seeing your solution to those problems. Perhaps you could make a Google Doc/Sheet table where you outline the changes to the setup depending on what division(s) you add? Just a suggestion, as having custom setup images for each combination would be an unnecessary amount of work.

(Also, I hit my daily upvote limit from your posts lol.)

@barnee :O

@Titus The image already looks pretty good, but if you want to show the full quality of an image, There’s only a few options that I know of.

You could make a zoomed in shot. If your goal is to simply show a high-quality area on your map instead of the full thing, simply take a screenshot of that zoomed in shot and upload it the way you usually do.

You may be able to divide your file through a sectioner. You can upload your file onto a site such as PineTool or ImageSplitter and then divide your map into different parts. Then, you can download & then upload multiple crops of that image together in one post.

If you want to show the entire map in its high quality though, you’re likely going to need to upload your map through a 3rd-party file uploader. Some options include Zappfiles, Mediafire, and Dropbox. You can then link your exported image in your post.

If there’s a better method out there, please let me know, But these are probably the easiest options.

Also, good looking map!

@Charles-Fontaine Egypt and Union of South Africa were British Dominions, Tunisia was a French protectorate.

Dang, the map is larger than 8GB and a 91-page rulebook? Holy smokes that’s massive! Thanks for the rulebook.

@dazedwit I’d say those are good additions to the game! However, Diego Garcia was a part of the British colony of Mauritius since the Napoleonic Wars, just economically the island was administered by a private company. Personally I like to move the 1 IPC from Southern Australia to Solomon Islands, as it would be a nod to Guadalcanal and various battles that took place there. Neat ideas though.

@The-Captain Sounds interesting… I’m curious what these conditions/rounds end up being!

@Everythingman2 Very useful!

I’m only seeing this now, but it looks pretty cool! However, it seems pretty unbalanced overall. A lot of this comes from the fact that Japan is no longer fighting the Soviet Union and that the UK doesn’t have much recourse when it comes to fortifying the front lines. Here are a couple of changes I would make to this setup:

• Set China to its OOB 1942 Setup: China already gets steamrolled in a standard game, but with Manchuria free? Woof. With more units at China’s wing, while they may still get beaten badly, at least it isn’t as terrible as it could be.

• Give the UK an Industrial Complex in India: Due to Britain not having the resources to garrison their land, give one IC to India! According to your Turn Order, this may end up impacting Japan’s initial spread. To fix this…

• Japan Goes First: This basically gives us the OOB turn order, with Japan going first, Britain going second, America going third, and the Chinese going fourth. This is simply a more effective turn order when it comes down to Japan’s initial expansion.

Haven’t playtested these changes yet, but they should improve the balance of this variant to a degree.

(Also, sorry if this counts as necroposting. I didn’t want to create an entire new topic just for my personal thoughts on this post.)

@barnee :O

@Axis-and-Allies-Events You’re not real?!

@djensen That would be great!

@panzerlord1939 From what I know of, there’s a couple rule and map changes through the versions (e.g. some maps have Bessarabia while others don’t). It isn’t anything too major, but it is something to consider. Just make sure you try to get components for the specific versions (easier for v4 as its the newest).

You’re welcome, and I’m glad I could help! :)))
