A good series is Marshall Cavendish W.W.I series. This 12 volume set, is usually found in libraries, encyclopedia articles of the war, some written or based on people who lived during the war.

Rich in pictures, graphs, charts, illustrations, side stories of the Great War. If you cannot find what you want to read here, then it probably be a hard search for that particular subject.

Some libraries hace a duplicate set of books, letting you take a volume home. You can try the net, used book stores, good luck in getting a set, enjoy the read, thanks, Pellulo

It has been going on a decade now, since the 1914 game came out, was it officially the last in the Axis and Allies universe?

I know Larry is into his new game version of War Room type series, as a independent maker of that game(a Napoleonic version of it is coming out?).

Even still would Wizards of the Coast make a second edition of the 1914 game, with a new mini or two. If not, then upgrade the minis to show more of a difference of for example the tanks, both sides made and use(yes I know the Germans used mostly captured British Mark IV tanks, as their AV-7 series type tanks were a dud).

If not a add on game for the WWI series, a Verdun Type game, or, Sea Battle of Jutland, or, minis for W.W.1 era.

Finally I do not count the Zombie Axis and Allies game, great for collection purposes. Gee, I could add Zombies to Cutes and Ladders, does not necessarily make it a brand new Exciting game experience.

I admit, I posted allot for a Sci-Fi 1914 game, tied in with H.G. Wells War of the Worlds theme type games. If you could find the old Harris Game Design, I wrote about it there, especially tied into the 1942 game or modern times.
Thanks, Pellulo

Starting with Italy versus just British Empire, no U.S.A. & Germanic Forces.  

After all Italian efforts

caused about 10% of all losses for the British.

At sea just under 150,000 tons of all Allied surface warships, which included 76 surface ships. Along with 46 submarines downed by Italy.

Air losses were in the single digits, exception of Malta.

So in this scenario will the “New Roman Empire” cause most of its damage via Sea Power, with land a second, and , air a distant third?

Can Italy win N.Africa by itself, or, at least last to what would be about mid 1943?

I will be starting as soon as I finish A&A G.I. Joe RoundRobin Game.
Thanks Pellulo

@barnee Tutledove is a treasure trove for an Alien Invasion during Spring 1942 Axis & Allies Universe. Perhaps a Larry and Turtledove Kickstarter Game.

Or u can wait for another exciting WOTC Axis & Allies 🧟‍♀️ 1914 Zombie Game. Thanks, Pellulo

Folks plan to finish this game soon, it does not help living next to farmland, converting to natural jungle. We are insulated with pests every winter, and, are working with that, thanks, Pellulo

Blue moves jet from Main Base to island below Apogee Base. Builds C and Jet for Main Base.

Black moves it’s C with trooper and Rattler, along with another Rattler, that flies from its main base. They go one hex upward and only two hexes from White Main Base. Three Rattlers from the North of Greenland fly to island below NP base(only two hexes from Blue Main Base).

Builds Rattler for its main base.

White strikes rather than wait for amphibious assault from Black, two jets and C with trooper, make their own amphibious assault. Onto a hex two spaces from White Main Base, against Black C and trooper and two Rattlers. All both sides lost.

The upper half of the board is nearly cleared of any units, until White’s earlier purchases come into play. White had built a Jet for Main Base and Apogee Base.

All you have in the upper half of the board is one White Jet and one Rattler at their main bases.

Round Three:

Red…

Red builds a ice hex, that can lead in the future to NP base/ Blue Main Base, from main Red base. Also a C and Wolf unit for main and NP base.

Round Four: So far Joe has 6 VP compared to Cobra 4.
Red…

Red sends C with two troopers to take 1VP island, that is two hexes from Blue Main Base.

Moves from its main base a trooper and Wolf unit to ice hex just off it. Builds another ice hex leading towards Joe 2 VP island off NP base, along with Rattler and trooper for its main base.

Blue using special ability adds another trooper to its C leaving Apogee Base, heading up Western coastline of Greenland. Sends another C to Red C off 1 VP island and both are destroyed.

Builds C at Apogee and Main Base.

Round Six:

Red…

Black sends Fighter-Bomber from land 1 VP hex to 1 VP island defended by 2 Black troopers. Cruisers from main Black base and 1 VP hex above that base, land 4 troopers onto ice hex.

Two troopers move back into NP base. Builds for NP base a C and Wolf , and, trooper for main base.

White sends C upwards the tip of Greenland Western hex. C with a trooper from 2 VP island lands on 1 VP island, undefended by Red.

From same island Hover- Copter lands on ice hex closes to Red main base, a trooper and Snow Cat.

Jet and Fighter-Bomber with its Sleuth ability attack 2 Black Cruisers between the ice hexes. A Black C is lost along with White Jet.

White C off NP hex with Black C, attacks it, both C are lost.

Snow Cat and trooper using special ability attack, from main base, ice hex with 4 Black troopers. All White lost, along with 2 Black troopers. Builds for main base, Jet, Snow Cat, and, 3 Troopers.

VP 8 for Joe, &, 5 for Cobra.

Round 5: Cobra’s forces have thinned up a bit, with only three rounds left, hard to build up sufficient units to take a major base.

Perhaps considering just taking as many VP land and sea hexes, as possible, maybe build a ice hex to Greenland VP hexes?

Red moves Wolf and trooper unit onto farthest ice hex from its main base, send Rattler to 1 VP island just off an ice hex. While it builds a Wolf & trooper for main base, an ice hex that connects to NP base, and, three more troopers for that base.

Blue sends C one space up western coast of Greenland and lands 2 troopers onto unclaimed 2 VP hex.

Using special ability C leaves Apogee Base with a trooper and lands onto unclaimed 1VP island two hexes from Apogee Base. C from eastern coast of Greenland lands 2 troopers onto ice hex defended by Red trooper and Wolf unit. All lost but the C.

While a C with Snow Cat and trooper land on 1VP island midway between Blue and Red main bases. Defended by Red Rattler and 2 troopers. All forces are lost, island still under Red control.

Builds Jet for Apogee Base, C and trooper for Main Blue Base.

Black from NP base sends a C with 2 troopers and takes over 1 VP island, two spaces from White Main Base. Destroying defending White trooper.

Sends a Wolf and Rattler unit over ice hex, to its 1 VP hex, two spaces from White Main Base. Sends fighter- bomber using Sleuth ability to attack, the White Main Base. Fails to destroy its target and lands at Black 1 VP hex.

Meanwhile another C picks up 2 troopers at main base

Builds C and Wolf unit for main base.

White sends a C with 2 troopers and a hover copter carrying a Snow Cat to Blue undefended 2 VP island, to reinforce it from a potential Red attack.

Another C leaves Apogee Base and goes up Western Coastline of Greenland. The Fighter-Bomber using Sleuth Ability attacks but fails to destroy an air unit two hexes away from White Main Base. Flies back to main base, while a Snow Cat and a trooper attack the same hex, defended by a Wolf Unit, Rattler, and, Fighter- Bomber. They are destroyed, but, leave only Black Fighter- Bomber.

Meanwhile C from main base attacks and sinks Black C off 1 VP island defended by two Black troopers.

White builds Jet, Snow Cat, &, trooper for Main Base.

VP Cobra 6 and Joe 4.

Round Four: So far Joe has 6 VP compared to Cobra 4.
Red…

Red sends C with two troopers to take 1VP island, that is two hexes from Blue Main Base.

Moves from its main base a trooper and Wolf unit to ice hex just off it. Builds another ice hex leading towards Joe 2 VP island off NP base, along with Rattler and trooper for its main base.

Blue using special ability adds another trooper to its C leaving Apogee Base, heading up Western coastline of Greenland. Sends another C to Red C off 1 VP island and both are destroyed.

Builds C at Apogee and Main Base.

White attacks with Jet, Fighter Bomber, &, Snow Cat, hex above White Main Base. Defended by Offshore C, Rattler, and, Wolf units which are lost. White loses only its Jet, Fighter Bomber flies back to Main Base.

Meanwhile from Main Base a C with trooper lands on 1VP island just off NP base. Island taken for lost of Red defending trooper and White C.

White builds a C for Apogee and Main Base, also trooper for latter.

Blue flies Jet from its Main Base to 2VP island below NP base. Four troopers still going towards N. Greenland hexes.

Builds a C and trooper for Apogee and Main Base.

Black send Rattler and Fighter Bomber to attack 2 VP island below NP base. Defended by Blue Jet and Cat, all units are lost, island is undefended.

Two scout cars with its trooper, Rattler, 2 Wolf units, and a C landing a Wolf unit, attack the hex above White Main Base( defended by 4 troopers and Danish trooper). Along with a Fighter Bomber from main base.

Note the 2 Scout cars with two troopers I counted as just two units. Also a scout car passed and takes control of a 1 VP hex, before attacking White units. Hex is taken, only C offshore and on shore a Wolf and Rattler are left. Fighter Bomber flies back to main base.

On NP base, four troopers join up for eventual pickup from a C off shore, in the future. Along with Rattler flying one hex above main base, and, a C with a Wolf unit arriving there also.

Builds 5 & 2 troopers for main and NP base.

Round Three:

Red…

Red builds a ice hex, that can lead in the future to NP base/ Blue Main Base, from main Red base. Also a C and Wolf unit for main and NP base.

White C goes up C goes up Greenland coast from Apogee Base. Fighter Bomber Jet and White Jet from main base, attack Red held 1 VP island two hexes from White Main Base.

Fighter Bomber using Sleuth ability and White Jet take out Red Rattler and C, for lost of only White Jet.

From White Main Base 4 troopers and Greenland trooper go up one hex. Builds C, Jet, and, trooper Main Base.

Black builds another ice hex, that will allow next turn, forces to cross over to attack White Main Base.

Using C lands a trooper on 1VP island below its main base, while Wolf unit from main base occupies 1 VP hex above its base. This will allow fighter bomber jet to use this space next turn.

Rattler from NP hexes attacks Blue C off 2 VP island, sinks it for no lost.

Heavy Bomber using Sleuth ability attacks from NP base, and, sinks with Blockbuster bomb, A.C. off Blue Main Base. Due to Sleuth Ability the A.C. can not defend itself. Jet on A.C. can counterattack, but, fails with Bomber flying back to NP base.

Send trooper from NP base to join Rattler on hex below base, and, has another trooper to defend another hex to side of base.

Builds C and trooper for NP base. Also Wolf unit for main base.
