We keep the same play order as the rules say,  with the exception of:  Some times we roll to see what power starts first.  This makes the game interesting and your strageys have a bit of a change up
Try it some time AA fans……It can be really fun and challenging

I am starting to think that  IL  is a youtube junkie as well as a  AA junkie  LOL

I work up in that area from time to time,  send me  a PM some time.  who knows    maybe we can get a game in some time
I havent played with 5 people in a long time

We have a new Tech  for AA 1942  The USAF has a new MOAB  ( mother of all bombs  )  It is a 21,000 pound MOAB  whish is replacing the 15,000 pound ( Daisy cutter ) which was used in Iraq and afghanistan.  I feel sorry for any that gets hit by this.  But remember  WAR IS UGLY

This can be a great asset to any world power that gets its hands on this baby.  this is truely a game ender

I have included a pic of the MOAB

Good luck all

Guns of navarone or something like that was an ok movie also

Here is what we do from time to time
Add up all the starting units value for start up
USA        236
Japan      255
Germany  321
USSR      168
UK          226

At start up; You can pick / build what ever units you want per territory  as follows
You can double what ever the value of your territory is piece wise
( example )  If india is worth 3……you can put 6 units there for build up / set up
Capital cities are unlimited
You can put IC in any territory you want… but it does counts as a unit and you can only produce what the IPC value is per turn for new units
we roll the dice after set up to determine which power starts first
We also roll a dice each for starting tech after order is estabilished
this is a fun way to play every once in a while

Good luck

That should work,  happy warring and good luck droppin da dice

I will,  Thank you for the tip IL,  I do like the TRUE history of that era

Well its not a movie,  but  i like watching the old series of  baa  baa  black sheep

Yes  spring 42 map should have a long row of numbers on the bottom of the map

Hi wmman09,  that is a good idea.  but if you dont mind,  ill tell you how we do it,  and works very well.  not to far off from what you do
First off, we use the marker for that power to identify where they are at IPC wise ( this marker moves up & down as territorys are captured )
We use another marker with an x drawen on it.  this marker represents how much money / IPCs that power has to spend on its next turn
( example;  USA spent 40 IPCs on there last turn  USA has 2 IPCs left.  marker with an x on it goes on the 2 spot on the board.  USA ends it turn at 42  plus 2 not spent  marker moves up to 44 )
this way pieces dont fall or get knocked down during play and there are no conflicts
This works well for us when we play  you always know where you and your opponets are territory wise and money wise

Hope this helps

Thank You  IL  I down loaded your maps with and with out charts,  and will play this way until i can find one

Thank you very much for everything you and the rest of the die hards do on this site

Big salute to all of you

I started playing in 1986 while in the air force,  I lived off base because i had a family.  so friends would come over some weekends and we would play from friday night to sunday night with very little sleep  I just started playing again and love it…… cant believe i didnt play for some 8 years  glad to be back war gaming and dropping the dice, oh ya  I am new to the site and find it very useful

My friend was Axis and myself the Allies.  I had just taken Germany with Uk and USA while he was trying to invade russia.  oh  I should mention he was playing the game and watching TV at the same time.  he started building up japan with transports armed with tanks  infantry and artillery,  6 loaded transports sitting in on the coast line of japan.  so i put a battleship in 55.  on his next turn he moved all 6 loaded transports to zone 57 with out any navel escorts.  of course on my turn i moved the battleship into zone 57 with his transports  baaaam  all gone  he looked up at me and said  ( where the heck did that come from ?  how the heck can Axis win when the allies have cloaking and stealth abbilites ?  LOL  ) 
I think he will NOT be watching TV while playing next time,    what do you think  ?  ?  ?  LOL

Here something we do with the spring 1942 addition.  you can keep track of the IPCs on the chart on the bottom of the board.  we put chips under the marker to keep track of unused IPCs,  seems to work well so far.  not to mention, you know where your competition is at IPC wise at all times so you can plan accordingly

Good luck all
