Hello fellow members of this community.

My name is Sergio Gonzalez and I live in Spain. I briefly lived in Canada for two years where I got into the Axis and Allies gaming.

I generally play G40 and not as often as I would like to. It is quite difficult to find commited players or even the time to play, but it is what it is.

I am working on printing one of the community files maps in vynil and a mixture of PVC and aluminium, hopefully I get that done soon and I can invite some friends over to get them into the game.

This latter part is proven to be difficult with the actual situation, but hopefully in the future I can spread a good disease…the disease of playing Axis and Allies as much as possible!!

@gen-manstein thanks for the update. I think it makes sense.

I see that there are a lot of house rules out there that really bring new life to the game, love it.

@young-grasshopper Just got your Omaha and Utah decks online. Can’t wait to get them, I think they are a very nice addition to the game.

Thank you very much for all the content and ideas you are bringing to this game, it is really inspiring!!

@gen-manstein it looks amazing. What measurements does the map have?

I have printed on vynil Ambizi´s version but it only slightly bigger than using the game boards. It has all the air and naval bases printed on, but still, lacks of space in certain areas, so I was considering printing another map with a bigger size.

I got a quotation for a 2,75 meters x 1,25 meters at 300 euros. I don´t see where I could put that or how I would get my wife’s approval for such transaction…

@gen-manstein nice map! Very good looking. What is the ship symbol that I see on the left side?

@imperious-leader its the name of the file, I assumed it was a person

@call77 I downloaded the file of course

@marshmallow-of-war thanks again. For a second there I had my hopes up!..

I can come to terms with the fact that Gibraltar is deeper and wider and keep respecting the rules.

@marshmallow-of-war Thanks.
I understand the rules and I follow them.

But I don’t see the logic of it. Why can any sub cross through Gibraltar but the same rule does not apply in Denmark?

In my opinion both straits should operate in the same way.

I am in your same situation, getting back to the game after a while.

One thing I notice about Italy (which seems to be the country that you are having most trouble with) is that if they are not dealt with early in the game, they can be a huge help to the Axis powers.

I see a lot of discussions about doing or not doing the Taranto raid. For me it is a must. Otherwise the Italians can get a very comfortable position in the Mediterranean and be a headache for the rest of the game. It happened in the last two games I played.

Specially if the get their hands in Gibraltar and Cairo. Then they effectively block the Allies from getting in the mediterranean and get a lot of IPCs from their national objectives.

What I could not find yet was a solution if I am the Italian player and I get “tarantoed”. It basically keeps me off for the rest of the game.

@klykke89 I was confused too. The rulebook clearly states that planes can fly over enemy territories as if they were neutral, and that AAA guns can only shoot at planes when the territory the AAA gun is in is being attacked.

However I have seen some house rules that actually allows AAA guns to fire at enemy planes that fly over the territory they are in.

I think that is cool, but I also think that gives the AAA gun much more power and value and that they should cost more than 5 IPC if that is the case.
