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.

@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!

@HansMohr68 Well, let me know when you do more progress on it. (Map Fixes, Battle Board, etc.)

@Nuts Welcome, fellow newer players! I hope everyone is having a good time here.

@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)

@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!

Great looking map! But, here’s some feedback:

This is a problem that is in every mainline a&a europe map has: America has not enough territories. The AMOUNT of America on the map is perfect, but there is only two territories on the mainland. You could divide those into:

• Washington D.C. (Stays the Same)
• New England (8 IPCS)
• Mid-Atlantic (14 IPCS)
• Great Plains (8 IPCS)
• Southern States (10 IPCS)
• West Indies become 2 IPCS

Another thing is that the United Kingdom should have more IPCS than Soviet Union, because unless Soviet Union starts with barely any units at all, it will be pretty unfair for the Axis. (And even then, UK and SU should have about the same)

Next is Italy. I see you gave them Vichy France, and while they were technically a German Puppet state, I’ll allow this. But make sure they have Yugoslavia and Greece, as they did have them at the time.

Others include:

• Areas like Aragon are still unnamed and unlabeled
• Area size is pretty unbalanced, even right next to eachother (Take Upper and Lower Egypt for Example.)
• At many points, it’s hard to see who owns what (e.g. compare U.S. to Great Britain. You’re probably going to add roundels to help, but still.)
• Great Britain looks unusable
• Territory Suggestion: Bermuda/Azores. This would add other routes to North America/Europe.

Good, but flawed map in these areas.

Also, what does the battle board look like for all of these new units, I’m curious?

@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.

@HansMohr68 Glad I could help, i assume all that’s left is the battle board (I’m still curious how units like marine infantry work.) But, this game looks like it will be fun to play between your sons. (and other people too.)

Also, I’m sure that Pacific will be good too, judging by your skills.

@Imperious-Leader
Did the UPS driver drown?

@Imperious-Leader Yes please. I really do hope the game comes out eventually though.

@General-6-Stars Captivating… hope to see more updates!

@Charles-Fontaine If they’re free, can’t you send the map and rules here? I’m pretty sure you can send through a platform like Mediafire.

Besides that, it looks pretty solid! Looks interesting, especially due to the game’s scale. Although, I must ask: Why are Egypt, South Africa, and Tunisia neutral?

Good job on bringing back your old game!

@Charles-Fontaine I can’t find anything about the protectorate being formed in 1939, only 1881. However, I guess you were right about Egypt. I still think South Africa should be labeled as British though…

Also, you could use MediaFire for the map, I’m pretty sure they allow up to 2GB for free.
