Hi,

@JimmyHat:

You’ll need to put a link in if you want people to check it out….

Hi,

Would like to but I am not allowed ( yet/why ? ). So just put 3 w in front of :

historicalboardgaming.com/1939-axis-allies-map

To see the reduced map, click on the link about mid page and for the rules and set up, they are near the bottom of the pg.

PS For the forum itself : add 3 w + axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?board=36.0

Hi,

I am playing an A&A variant called A&A Global War 1939, the map is almost 4’ X 8 ', and your questions/queries are answered in the rules for this variant. Like Canada has is own ipcs, 10 and get 3 more when the US is at war, and an other 3 more if UK own all its territories in the European war, and built its own units with the minor ic in Québec.The UK can built units on its commonewalth territories : 2 more units in Canada, South Africa has an income of 3 ipc and must built an infantry first and then Uk can built an other unit there. UK can built 2 more units in Far East Command with FEC built and 2 more units for ANZAC with ANZAC built.

FEC and ANZAC can not built capitol ships though and can not upgrade ic to major ones. There is a little more rules than the ones I mentionned so you will have to read the rest for yourself.

I really enjoy this variant ( only played it solo as I am learning the rules ). Now I am waiting for the new units to come out too. As soon as the Italian units are for sale, I think I will be selling my other A&A games like A&A Europe/Pacific, and 50th Anniversary. And when all the other armies will be done, maybe I will sell A&AE40 and P40.

You can find all this in the A&A variant forums.

PS I wanted to post a picture, but I got a msg saying that I am not allowed to post links ? What’s up ?

That happened to me when I first got on the forum.  It won’t let you attach links or pictures until you have a certain number of posts.  I’m not sure, but I think once you have 25 or 30 posts, then it will start letting you add stuff.

I see. Thanks for the info. Now at 20 posts.  :wink:

How about these from Power Barons, 12 in the game, in 4 colors though.

So put 3 w in front of boardgamegeek

Great. Ready to order a couple of sets.

When ? ( soon I hope )

Hello Jeremy,

I am willing to substitute Stickman for one or two full set of Italian units at 29.95$ each. Just let me know how I can send you the $ by Paypal. Cheers

Here is the question and answer that bugs me, from page 25 in the rules, :

 For the first time the US is attacked by Japan, does the lack of return fire apply to multiple battles or only one? Just one Battle

I guess you can say that it is clear that it is only for one battle and that only one of my attacks was legal. If it is so, then I should have had a harder time to destroy the fleet in sea zone 120 or 133.

A sneak attack should be a sneak attack all the way, I.E. more than one battle. But then again maybe it is too strong for more then one battle.

Well, after a night sleep, I guess that I answered my own question. I will abide by the ruling for now. Sorry for the rambling.

@cminke:

is the sneek atteack basicly like rolling twice befor you oponent attacks back? will that work?

No. There is two impulses in the turn of the sneak attack. Only Germany ( on its first turn  ) and Japan ( between turn 1 and 7 ) can do it.

First Impulse :                                    Second impulse :

1. Build & repair units                          1. Combat moves
2. Combat moves                                2. Combat
3. Combat                                          3. NCM
4. Non combat moves                          4. Adjust IPC’s & collect income
5. Place built units                              5. End second impulse
6. End first impulse

Ref to my question about Japan sneak attack on the US is because of the special rule concerning the US. It reads as follow : First time US is attacked before turn 7, US ships,air/naval bases, and aircraft can not return fire for the first round of combat ( so there it is like rolling twice before you opponent attacks back, in part ). Ships can not return fire until round 3.

I did a sneak attack on 2 US sea zones ( 120 & 133 ) in turn 1 with Japan, was the sneak attack allowed on both or only one of those sea zones ?

I am using the Coastal guns from Singapore 1942 game for fortifications. They look great on the board. I only need to buy three more to get the 15 listed in the set up. Also, aren’t the fortifications destroyed when you capture the territories they are in ? Ref to cmike post.

@coachofmany:

@dadler12:

I would like all of them but if I had to pick one it’s gotta be the P-51.  Most iconic and best American fighter of the war.

I will have the P-51 in the U.S. mold for sure!!!

Thumb up !  :-)

@Tigerman77:

Revision to rules and setups are posted at the beginning of this thread. Hope we are getting close to perfection.

Hi,

Went through the revised rules and maybe I found a couple of ’ mistakes ’ to correct :

Under Political Situation, at # 7 USA, 2nd para,2nd line ’ them together until RUSSIA reaches its full production of 80 '. I think you meant US not RUSSIA, didn’t you ?

At #9 Communist China. It is mentionned that you can’t attack Nationalist China twice, 3rd and last sentence. Maybe remove the last sentence. But it is no big deal if you leave it there, it is like to make a point.

One more : On the Japan set up sheet, in : Infantry special, 2nd line, change the word bonzai to banzai.

That’s all.

Also ref sneak attack, I read that you can only do one sneak battle in that attack, is that so ? What I meant is I sneak attacked, on J1,  the US Pacific fleets in sea zones # 120 and # 133 and destroyed both fleets in one go with almost no unit lost to Japan and took San Francisco, and the US lose the 20ipc NO. It will be a while before the US can retake it. At J2, all the Pacific US convoys were occupied , and US is down to around 60, ipc wise, then substract the convoys and the US will collect less than 50 ipcs… Am I doing something wrong or is it ok so far ?

@crenk:

I am thinking about using infantry from previous AA editions to represent neutral army strengths on the board. I am planning on spray painting based on strict neutral, favor allies etc. My question is this:  I have extras of every nation, so what model would be best to represent the different nations? In other words, which infantry would be the closest match to what the neutral nations army would have looked like?

MY THOUGHT SO FAR:

South America:
Venezuela-? American
Chile-? Germany
Argentina-? Germany
Brazil-? American

Africa:
Angola- UK
Mozambique- UK

Mid East:
Saudi Arabia-? UK
Iraq- Germany-? Yes
Persia-? UK
Afghanistan- UK

Europe:
Turkey- ? UK
Greece- ? UK
Bulgaria- Germany
Yugoslavia- ? UK
Switzerland- ? American
Spain- ? Germany
Portugal- ? American
Sweden- ? Germany
Finland- Germany

Asia:
Olgiy- USSR
Dzavham- USSR
Ulaanbaatar- China
Buyant Uhaa- China

Any insight or thoughts would be appreciated

Hi, my opinion in red in your post. Spain and Sweden were based from the political situation in A&A Global War 1939, where they can become pro-axis and Turkey pro-allies. Cheers

Thanks a lot, real nice setup cards, and they fit in the boxes.

@TheDefinitiveS:

Incase you lose one or you want to track the tech chart.

Tech for UK is all together as one, so no need for it on the tech chart…

This is true…then there is  a 2nd marker because there can be.

Simply put the other roundel on the stack of IPCs ’ money ’ ( you are using IPCs 'money ', don’t you ? ) belonging to the Pacific side.

@orcageo:

Were they strategic bombers or stukas you tell me.
Do you think I do not know its an unrealistic game!!!
The thing is though that the game is based on real events, a real war with the real political situations of that time. Anyway thats the way I see it. Bombers bomb from thousands of feet off the ground, tactical bombers can bomb ships, that’s how the American and Japanese fleet lost ships. If I am wrong then I apologize.
Anyway we wouldn’t play with each other I think because we have different philosophies. Thank you though for your opinion.

Hi,

I had to go to work, that’s why I didn’t answer you right away. You are right about the IJ planes that sunk the British BBs in the pacific. They were tactical bombers, G4M Bettys I think. As far as I know, the IJAF didn’t have strategic bombers. Same with the German, beside Kondors. You don’t have to apologize, we were just ’ arguing ’ about our own feelings of the game. It is nice to have people with different philosophies. But game wise, you are losing good units if you only use strat bombers for strat attacks on IC and others. But we do live in a free world, so as long as we enjoy the game, we do as we like.

J. 8-)

Are you really serious  :-o

1- A&A is an unrealistic war game…

2- What kind of planes do you think sank the British BBs in the pacific ? ( in the real WWII )

3- If you read all the msgs in all the forums, lots of players are trying unrealistic ways to win…

4- I would like to play against you, since you won’t use bombers against me and I will against you  :lol:

5- This is only a wargame, enjoy it and use your bombers, scare your ennemies.  :-D

Cheers
