    • Boxcars' AA50 Setup Cards (1st Edition Style) & Battle Board

      Since I’ve cut my A&A teeth back in '84 with 1st edition, it holds a certain sentimental value to me.  Every other version I’ve purchased since, I’ve felt that they have “gone cheap” on the included materials.  Anything cardboard is no longer thicker than a cereal box.  And the graphics on the new stuff?!  They tried too hard in my opinion.

      Since my group plays AA50 now (or at least we did until we purchased AAE40 & AAP40), I created a set of Setup Cards that capture that 1st edition feel.  I cut them out (10.5" x 3.75") and mount them on foam board.  Works very well.


      (This preview .png kinda cuts off the borders of the card…looks better in .pdf format.)

      I’m now ready to share this with the A&A.org community.  I hope you guys like them.

      I’ve also reverse-engineered the Battle Board for those new players among us.

      Enjoy!

    • RE: Global 2nd edition Q+A ( AAG40.2)

      @Imperious:

      http://www.axisandallies.org/resources-downloads/setup-chart-for-axis-allies-pacific-1940-second-edition/

      I haven’t seen any traffic on this (but I probably missed it) but there are a few errors in the above links.  I discovered this while setting up our first Global game in a long time.

      The following items are not included in the typed out list, but do appear on the box tops:

      For the Japanese:
      JAPAN - 2 Strategic Bombers, Air Base, Naval Base, Major Industrial Complex
      MANCHURIA - 2 Tactical Bombers

      For the Chinese:
      KWEICHOW - 2 Infantry

      That is all.  Carry on.

    • RE: IL AAG40 map?

      Oh Powerful Imperious Leader,

      Have you made any progress on your rumored AAG40 map or has the project, like many of my own, stalled out?

      @Viracocha: thanks!  Glad you like 'em.

      @axis_roll: Nope, sorry.  I only made the cards for the scenario that we tend to play.  ('Course now I need to wait for the Global 1940 startup to be finalized…and I’ll do those next)

    • RE: Several Questions/Clarifications

      @calvinhobbesliker:

      It’s the rule that neutral countries can’t enter the territory of any other country

      Hmmm…I’m not seeing that in the rulebook.  Got a page number where that shows up?

    • RE: Several Questions/Clarifications

      @kcdzim:

      And the US cannot enter Canadian territories as long as it’s neutral.  The US navy is allowed to park off the Canadian coast though in those seazones.

      Really?  Can we get a ruling on this?  I don’t see anything in the rulebook about not going into British territory outside of Europe while neutral.

      The Rulebook states:

      Political Situation: The United States begins the game at war with no one. In addition to the normal restrictions, while
      it’s not at war with Japan, the United States may not move any units into China. While not at war with Germany or
      Italy, the United States may not move sea units into sea zones that are adjacent to territories in either Africa or Europe
      (including United Kingdom and Scotland). If the United States has war declared on it by an Axis power or Japan
      makes an unprovoked declaration of war on the UK or ANZAC, the United States may declare war on any or all Axis
      powers. On turn 3, if it’s not yet at war, the United States may declare war on any or all Axis powers at the beginning
      of the Collect Income phase of that turn.

      I had introduced an error in my Italian roundels (I had my Red and Green swapped).  Reposted via above link.

    • RE: Anzac roundel?

      I hope to have the setup cards done next week.  Also I noticed last night that I used the modern Italian roundel scheme instead of the desired A&A version.  (my red and green are swapped)  I will correct that and repost the links.

      IL,

      Sorry to hear that .RAR treats you so badly.  I’ve gone back and resubmitted in a .ZIP format.  I’ve also posted the option to download in .PNG.  Should work great now.

      @TexCapPrezJimmy,

      Sometimes my luck is less than stellar…LOL
