Hi, I am located in Western Massachusetts and looking for a group to join. I have played probably around a dozen games of A&A, so I have a pretty good grip on the rules, most have been solo however. I have played 1940 and 1914, but am open to any A&A. Anybody looking for players?

@general-6-stars I have a physical map that I have made. It’s mostly rules i am trying to develop. Thanks for showing me your map.

I have been using Lion in the Trenches national objectives in my 1914 global games, but I have maps that include Spain and the Confederate States of America (from Harry Turtledoves novels) and have also been toying with the idea of making China a full nation as well. Any ideas for national objectives for these countries?

@barnee This is a bit more complicated than I need, but great inspiration. I am making this game with a physical map and pieces, so I am limited by how many types of units I can have. Still this should be really useful, thanks.

@barnee Thanks for the replies, the CIS ones sound good, and I like the idea of Gibraltar actually being important in 1914. I might also give the Spanish objectives in North Africa to motivate them to spread out a bit more. Not quite sure what to do with China yet, but they will probably be with the Central Powers (I know they weren’t historically, but it balances the game better). I’m thinking maybe I will give them IPCs for capturing Korea and parts of south Asia.

@buttersurge These all look really cool, cant wait till they are more developed.

I have been thinking about trying to use either the A&A 1940 or 1914 board to play a game in the alternate history scenario of Kaiserreich (where Germany won ww1). Has anybody already done this and have setup information.

Thanks

Any news on setup information for this map?

Where did you get those 1914 capital buildings?

@warhawk77 You have probably found a map by now, but in case you’r still looking I thought I would mention this.

Before I managed to get my hands on 1914 I printed this reworked map out, and used 1940 pieces.

The nice thing is even if you do eventually get 1914 you may still prefer to use this map (since Europe has a lot more space on it).

@general-6-stars Sweet map, what rules do you use to play this.

Looking to develop an Axis&Allies style game set in Westeros, but having trouble determining what units stats should be. Heres what i have so far.
