Keep all OOB units the same

Cruiser OOB is now Heavy Cruiser but moves 3 spaces no matter where it is
new Light Cruiser is a 2-3, which is in between 3-3 and 2-2, cost is between too, but does not move 3 unless its in port. Reason is they were slower.

Peeps might buy the Light because of defense, or if they had 9 IPC left

It depends on your need for mobility or force projection. Russia needs Artillery to punch back, Germany needs the 2 movers to force the issue for Russia. The middle game comes and things change. Russia needs tanks at this stage.

@Dagon81

Can we get this is in PDF, .ai or .PNG?

I want to print from crisp images an playtest these

Your Welcome!

If you engage such a round and the purchases were secret, Germany could do a G2 Sealion

I don’t like the tit for tat dice roller. This means say attacker misses on everything, defender likewise. Next round attacker may get 3 hits and last second all the defending units hit for same amount. Its not the luck i remember on MSN game zone when we played classic AA via Milton Bradley computer game.

But alas i am hooked. I think im playing in every online game, and training for the Harry Larris setup, which is terrible and gives nothing for the axis. The German Bomber is out of range of the UK fleet on G1. But what it may do is balance the game. But i win regardless. Don’t understand why more people didn’t sink $17 bucks. Its well worth it to at least support the possibility of a G40 version of this game.

Getting tired on the constant reloads and freeze ups. They need to fix this ASAP, and they need to address why it takes so long to load up available games online.

Your not my nemesis, just a spec of dust that i brush off occasionally.

@Imperious-Leader’s Oil Centers
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/15500 & various other places (help me out here, @Imperious-Leader)
Territories have Oil Values, and Oil limits both production and movement of mechanized units. Total values = total number of mech units that can be bought or move that turn.

My idea is that enemy oil centers are possible IPC producers each turn with a roll of one D6, however the first turn of capture you don’t receive any income to model the fact that the original owner player damaged the facility. Every other turn just roll D6 and add to production. Neutral oil centers are treated the same way. The other idea is you must own at least one oil center, or you must roll a D6 and that result is removed from your production each turn. Also, while you don’t own any oil centers, your land units all move one space.

I would prefer that Airborne units have elite weapons and short supplies ( short duration think). As a result one bomber dropping such a unit, that unit attacks at 3 in the 1st round, 2 in round 2 and 1 the rest of the rounds. You can have a limited number of such units or based on Historical, or based on the IPC you spent raising these units.

Cost to upgrade one infantry unit to airborne=2-3 IPC… off top of head each nation can have 3-6 units

Germany 6
Japan 5
Italy 3
USSR 3
UK 4
USA 6
France 1 or Anzac 1

@superbattleshipyamato Imagine of Japan just stopped short ( no war either) of the oil embargo while holding Manchuria? It would have permanently stifled China, while giving Japan resources and population to produce many goods. Japan in 60 years hence would be the current China. And no more argument about Formosa ( japans since 1895)

@lincolnhawk Chessex makes custom dice about $1 each, call them, before that make the template for 1,2,3 results. with a transport ship icon, etc. Their is a minimum # of dice that you need to buy, but you can resell those. They also sell the Axis and Allies dice sets, just ask, these are the premium ones with flags for 1 result

@domanmacgee Well in a way i disagree. WOTC went in a non A&A direction and no money was available to hire the bloke, so he went in another direction. Avalon Hill is now dead and Historical games from them are not forthcoming. If Hasbro would sell AH , another producer would bring back the brand and these types of games.

@djensen You as always are doing great benefit to your site.

@superbattleshipyamato Right. alot more complications introduces longer play. More areas means longer play, More units longer play. I wish their was a light 12 page version with only about 6-10 more units, not 60 more. The map would have about 60% less areas and play would take 2-3 hours but still be buckets of dice concept. That would be my wish plus dedicated piece sets or a version that used counters like nova games edition.

@domanmacgee It was a flop as everyone predicted. You wont see any more of these silly Fantasy/ Historical game settings. Everybody know WOTC is a bunch of fat greasy D$D payers who were commandeered to design and produce a few Historical titles so it wont look ridiculous after they got rid of Larry Harris. You wont see anything except possibly a Civil War game with this system but only if they bring back Harris to make it.

@panther Membership signup should include a battery of questions that most noobs would know about A&A. Rules, History, Unit stats, etc. this would destroy it to zero

@kwaspek104 Sorry but very few have interest in 'revised" Its all about Global 40, the new revised 1942, etc… Revised has about as much interest as Guadalcanal

@dsumner cant be 6 months, space does not revolve around earth time. Re create 1942 spaces with the types of ships set up like that game, values will be D12, movement same. Space carriers will need to cost more and take 4 fighters, and or bombers. use the same IPC values for star systems as 1942, the empty sea zones with be just empty space

@general-6-stars well pdf. would be great from that map file, the issue is i dont have any program currently for map making
