Axis and Allies at Renegade Con:

Watch it live at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xa-mTB5uFo

Will start any moment now.

@witt

Early 1994…
Playing Risk with a guy I did know but not that good.
So playing Risk… finishing the game. Discussing it… And then… then I said: “Well, yeah, would be nice if Risk had ships to cross the seas.”

And then… then he said: “Well, Axis and Allies got little ships?”

Me: What?
He: You want to see this game? Will get it from my room?
Me: Yes.

And the rest is history…

Please do understand: this was (just) before the Internet started… so it was not easy to find new games. At that moment I did not live in a big city. So…

Event started…

Axis and Allies 1914 will be reprinted!

Not so much a second edition but a reprint.

Larry Harris was consulted. This is great news!

More infantry units for Germany and UK.
30 additional plastic chips are also included.

There will be some rules updates.
Renegade will have the new version of the rules downloadable from their website.

Now more info on: Gen Con World Championship for Axis and Allies.

(With Matt Holland)

The winner of ‘Pick your Battle’ is:

North Africa

I am pretty sure Larry Harris once said that about 80 % of the questions sent (pre-email, pre-internet) to Hasbro were about subs…

Well, I am still learning new stuff (into Axis and Allies since the mid-1990s). So thanks for this question.

To be honest I cannot recall if this situation once happened in a game I played.
But I can imagine this can be a handy tactic to ‘spread’ your subs…

Wow… again: thanks. I like to keep learning about Axis and Allies Classic’s great (and sometimes unclear though) rules! Keep playing A&A Classic!

David,

Let me first say we all really appreciate the time and energy you spend on Axis and Allies and on this very forum.

Still, I ask: when can we expect Part Two of this interview…

Update September 2022:

I just found this one:

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36740/1940-global-alternate-universe-g40-alt-universe/5

“The war is the same, but occurs in an alternate universe where the Earth’s land formation happened
differently.”

(From the Rules: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/assets/uploads/files/1661014153409-g40-alt-universe-rules-vb1.4-8.1.2022.pdf )

So Axis and Allies… just on another map.

Will check this one out asap…

Pick Your Battle:

Probably will be released in 2024.

Four topics/options:

(1) Operation Market Garden

(2) North Africa

(3) Eastern Front

(4) Battle of Stalingrad

@chris_henry said in Axis and Allies North Africa announced!:

@superbattleshipyamato Oh absolutely. I’ll be curious if in a game like this the French are somehow worked in, or if they’ll just make the French African territories Axis for the sake of game play.

I always like at least some randomness in a game. I hope the French areas will be assigned to Vichy / Free French randomly.
Maybe a die roll for each area: Morrocco / Algeria / Tunesia.

I even like a small chance (say 1/6) in which an area will join the Axis proper.

What I also would like to see is at least some ‘off board’ area which represents French West Africa and French Equatorial Africa.
If such an area becomes Vichy then basically nothing will happen - it is off-board!
If such an area becomes Free French it will supply the Allied player with some IPCs and maybe some free infantry.

@reloader-1

I think this will be a very easy win for…

Guadalcanal

Though I like to see updated rules for AAZ.

I would surely pay for an AddOn pack with new Set Up cards for AAZ 1942 SE and some extra Z units…

Yes, I think at least a sizeable portion of the Med should be part of the map of this new Axis and Allies game.
