Greeting and salutations! I have recently created overlays for HBGs Global 1936 map that represent the political borders of 1861. I am aware that several years ago now HBG worked on a Global 1861 game. However as far as I can tell, HBGs Global 1861 project seems to have been shelved. Myself being a firm believer in the versatility of the Axis and Allies game mechanics have thus decided to create my own Global 1861 scenario. While further testing is still required and new political and possibly unit rules still have to be written. I am confident I can eventually create a comprehensive Global 1861 game. Although I feel I must apologize in advance if this project takes a long while as I tend to jump from project to project quite spastically, any help and or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Europe 1861

I am at it again! Here I present to you A&A 1800 Napoleonic Wars! This game will provide several scenarios within the wider scope of the Napoleonic Wars, beginning in the year 1800. This game will include full diplomatic, combat, and economic systems; as well as the destructive variable of Napoleon himself.

Combat system:

Infantry- Atk 1/ Def 2/ Move 1/ Cost 3 ipc
Atk of 2 when paired 1 to 1 with cannon

Calvary- Atk 2/ Def 2/ Move 2/ Cost 4 ipc

Cannon- Atk 3/ Def 3/ Move 1/ Cost 5 ipc
May move 2 spaces if paired 1 to 1 with calvary

Frigate- Atk 3/ Def 3/ Move 2/ Cost 8 ipc
May carry up to 2 land units, 1 must be infantry

Economic system:

All nations collect the stated amount of ipc with each of their respective territories at the end of each of their turns.

Diplomatic System:

Every nation may earn and spend PPT (Political Power Tokens). +1 PPT for defeating an enemy army/fleet (either destroying it or forcing it to retreat from a territory/sea zone ). +1 PPT when having captured an enemy territory. +1 PPT when forming an alliance with another nation.

-1 PPT when breaking an alliance with another nation. -1 PPT when having lost a land or sea battle. -1 PPT when having lost your nations capital.

PPTs may be spent to ally a neutral nation to your cause; 1 PPT per allying neutral nation. 1 PPT can be used to delay a nations declaration of war upon you (may only be used ounce per round, per nation). 1 PPT may be spent to declare war on another nation.

Here is the map…

@Trig Quite facinating ref sheet! Do you have a complete version available for publication?

@David-06 I am interested in this idea as well. Do you think think the HBG Global 1914 map might be more useful as a base map for such a scenario setup? Or would the 1936 map provide more options? As I possess both I would be open to helping anyone interested in such a project develop a setup on either map.

Oops, seems my hands slipped and I wrote an Axis and Allies inspired 142 year long scenario, haha. Am I obsessed, yes, is it fun for me and hopefully for others on this site? Absolutely! Now down to business, this scenario as the title suggests, begins in 1803. Let me set the stage. Napoleon reigns supreme over Europe, yet there is much discontent in the courts of Europe and most importantly within Britain. Within the various disaggrements and conflicts between Britain and France, war is imminent. This Scenario will roughly follow the course of events from the British declaration of war on France in 1803 all the way to the defeat of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan at the end of WW2. Throughout the course of this game I shall document the respective victories and losses every every major country. In paticular the Great Powers of each era. There will be pre-set wars that will begin on specific rounds/years that will determine the course of the game. For every war a country wins be fufilling the pre determined victory conditions assigned to their nation, a certain number of PPT’s (Political Power Tokens) shall be awarded. At the end of the scenario, every surviving country shall compare their respective number of PPT’s and whichever nation has the most will win the scenario.

Starting map, circa 1803 (Modified HBG global 1936 V3 map)

This scenario takes place in 1750, it combines elements of Axis and Allies and the game Diplomacy. I abandoned this project a year ago and have now come back to it seeking help in writing new rules for the game. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to share.

@Sebskullian-0 Hello, I own both HBGs global 1936 V3 map and the global 1914 map, although I do not yet possess all the pieces to play it completely accurately. Nevertheless I would also be interested in playing against you by email. Are you amenable to house rules or would you prefer to play by the book?

@SuperbattleshipYamato Yes, Turkey was not only able to restore their old empire, but was also able to conquer all of Iran, parts of Russia and India. As for Italy, they where able to dominate the Med and occupy much of its coastal territories.

@SuperbattleshipYamato The Ottoman Empire is not yet restored at the beginning of the game, although that is effectively Turkeys objective throughout the game. The restoration of their old empire.

@SuperbattleshipYamato In total, all National Objectives of each nation are worth 5 Victory Points combined.

AXIS VICTORY!

After a long and bloody world war, the Axis have obtained total victory over the Allied powers. The war got started off with a bang, the American, German, and Japanese navies launched a global cordinated attack on the British fleets. The British fleet within the span of just 3 rounds (18 months), was decimated. With this great victory, the Axis ruled the waves for the rest of the war. With Allied shipping cut off across the globe, the Axis where able to launch multiple naval invasions against the British Empire, dismantling the empire completly by the end of round 10 (5 years). The Soviet Union did not fare much better, with the Axis invasion of the USSR supported by large American bomber fleets and exstensive lend-lease to the Germans, the Russian war effort was doomed to fail. Although the Axis have emerged victorious, the end of conflict will be short. With the German conquest of Russia, American occupation of Britain, and the Japanese dominance over China and southeast Asia, room for contention and strife has erupted amongst the ranks of the Axis. All three superpowers, the United States, and the Japanese and German Empires have turned against one another and are already mobalizing for the next global war…

@SuperbattleshipYamato Hello, thank you for you’re comment, those numbers are the victory point values of each National Objective (NOs).

Howdy yall! I have recently ordered a copy of HBGs Global 1914, and while I intend to play the base scenario of course. I am also very interested in alternate history scenarios. If anyone is intrigued by the Kaiserreich story, please let me know and we maybe can create a scenario? Just in case you are unfamiliar with this alternate history scenario from the video game Heart of Iron 4 (modded ww1 version). Germany has won the Great War, and the Entente has turned to Syndicalism (essentially a proto-Marxist/anarchist movement).

@ButterSurge

Here is the map I am using for the scenario, starting setup. (Base map is Global 1936 by HBG)

@ButterSurge

Im trying to create a basic framework for the rise of the Axis powers very similar to the one sported by HBGs Global 1936. It is my hope this script will get the ball rolling so to speak. If anyone has any suggestions to improve or expand such a script, please feel free to share.

The Diplomatic script

ROUND 1

Germany annexes Austria
UK and France incomes increase by 1 IPP each

Italy annexes Albania

ROUND 2

Germany annexes Czechoslavakia
UK and France incomes increase by 1 IPP each

Italy may invade Abyasinia
UK income increases by 1 IPP if Italy occupies Abyasinia

Japan may invade China
FEC and ANZAC incomes increase by 1 IPP for every Chinese territory Japan occupies until at war with Japan

USA may invade Mexico
CSA income increases by 1 IPP for every Mexican territory the USA occupies until at war with the USA

ROUND 3

USA may occupy Cuba
UK and CSA incomes increase by 1 IPP each

ROUNDS 4-6

The status quo continues until global war

ROUND 7

WW2 begins, Germany invades Poland and the Entente minus the CSA, declare war on Germany exclusively

The Molotov-Ribontrop pact is signed, Eastern Europe is divided between Germany and the USSR and the USSR agrees to lend-lease Germany 3 oil and 3 iron ore per turn until they are at war

If Germany captures Paris, Finland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Venazeula, and Argentina become pro-Axis

Italy and Turkey may join the Axis at their descretion from now on

ROUND 8

The USA and Japan may sign the Pacific Mutual Security Pact, stipulating the USA will cede the Phillipines, Guam, Wake and Midway island to Japan and the USA promises to lend-lease Japan 3 oil and 3 iron ore per turn until either power is defeated, the game ends, or if “Japan leaves the Axis”* at a later date. Japan and the USA then must declare war on the Entente jointly. The CSA will then join the Entente and declare war on the USA.

*Japan may leave the Axis and act as a free-agent after round 12, this allows to Japan to attack any power and make peace on their own without the consent of their allies.
