I am not actually refering to Axis & Allies, but other games where an air unit has to be based on a space and it conducts operations from there but always flies back to that space. So by rebasing, I would mean not just the air unit, but the ground crews, fuel, spare parts etc … everything an air unit needs to operate.

Same with a naval unit. All ships have a home port. Rebasing to a new port means more than just moving the ship.

And even ground units are pulled from combat and shuttled to other parts of a front.

I suppose all this would be ‘redeployment’ rather than railing.

But I am not content with let’s say Germany having its entire airforce move from one side of europe to another. Is that even doable? Or UK’s entire fleet rebasing to Malta. Is that doable? What is more realistic?

Again, not Axis & Allies. Think more Rise and Decline of the Third Reich.

I Looked about for ideas for introducing rail movement in a game.

I’m looking to be a little more realistic in terms of capability (but not procedural rules)

I am wondering if there is actually data out there that shows what each major nation had for rail capacity, and what they realistically could rail from one hot spot to another.

What could each nation rebase in terms of planes.

What each nation could rebase in terms of navy.

Like to start a discussion around this. I was looking at Rise and Decline of the Third Reich as inspiration. But they have no limits to rebasing air units or navy units.

I have been looking to start a group here in Edmonton.

Yes, I am in Edmonton. Haven’t played in a long time a face to face game. Would love to get together and play some A&A.

I have reached out, but have not gotten a game. I think he has his group of gamers set.

Still looking for players …

Looking for people to play any of the following games which I have. I can host.

Axis & Allies 1942 second edition
Axis & Allies Europe second edition
Axis & Allies Pacific second edition
Axis & Allies WWI 1914
Axis & Allies Battle of the Bulge
