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!

@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.

@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.

@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.)

@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!

@Faramir Wasn’t French Equatorial Africa controlled by the Free French? Also, I’m not sure how to feel about the new Axis sub-saharan territories not having any units. While they were significantly weaker than their British counterparts, there should still be some combat down there. Here’s some suggestions for these territories (Not playtested yet, so you may want to run a few rounds with these changes and modify them as you go.):

GERMANY 1941 (36 IPCS):

• French West Africa: 1 Infantry, Control Marker
• French Madagascar: 1 Infantry, Control Marker
• SZ 32: 1 Submarine (Possibly Japanese)

ITALY 1941 (11 IPCS):

• Italian East Africa: 1 Artillery or 2 Infantry, Control Marker

BRITAIN 1941 (40 IPCS):

• French Equatorial Africa: 2 Infantry
• Rhodesia: 2 Infantry or 1 Artillery
• Anglo-Egyptian Sudan: 1 Infantry
• Belgian Congo: 1 Infantry or 1 Artillery
• SZ 27: 1 Destroyer, 1 Transport Ship

GERMANY 1942 (39 IPCS):

• French West Africa: 1 Infantry or empty, Control Marker
• French Madagascar: 1 Infantry, Control Marker

BRITAIN 1942 (29 IPCS):

• French Equatorial Africa: 2 Infantry or 1 Infantry (Depending on French West Africa’s setup)
• Italian East Africa: 1 Infantry
• SZ 32: 1 Destroyer, 1 Transport (carrying 2 Infantry and 1 Artillery, or 3 Infantry

These are just some small suggestions for a more accurate/entertaining Sub-Saharan Africa. Other than this, your rulebook seems very well thought out! I’ll try it out when I get the chance. Good job!

@barnee

Perhaps I haven’t got the update yet, but it is still next to the notification bell and user icon on the top right of the screen.

Hope this helped!

@Titus Ah, Okay. Neat setup though!

@Faramir Even though I feel there should be some small units in Sub-saharan Africa and Madagascar, I guess I understand not including them to keep it similar to the original. I’ll have to try your rules out when I get the chance to see how it plays.

@barnee Wow, that’s certainly different! Some ideas I have is clicking the user icon or the menu icon. I don’t have it yet, so I cant help too much yet.

(Also, this new menu in the screenshot looks weird)

@djensen Oh, very cool!

@djensen Sorry if this was already posted somewhere else, but what’s the new website? Is it the Support Drive?

@vodot Makes sense, I guess.

@vodot Sardina, how did that even get through?

@vodot haha lol

@vodot They probably did, as on my physical copy of Europe 1940 Second Edition it has British Canada. If that’s already fixed on your map, then it isn’t an issue.

@vodot On the Pacific 40 board, Western Canada is marked with a British Roundel instead of a Canadian Roundel like Ontario and Quebec.

I’m glad you liked my ideas!

@mhal21 Sounds like a cool concept. You could probably go all out with the plane types (biplanes, jet planes, dive bombers, etc.). If you want to make that game, then go for it!
