Hi.
Thanks to the collaboration of Piloto P-51’s youtube chanel, and the tests we have done on our part; We believe we have determined that Pieces and how many are used to play optimally 1941, and incidentally make it work as was intended: an introductory “cheap” game.
You know, There are problems of design and edition of the product, which are a shame: 1 the error on the map, 2 a manual that spends many pages with spaces and drawings, useless, and does not develop a full turn of a power (Germany or Japan, they can do in their hole turn all steps and combat movements) 3 a box that should be much more compact, 4 lack of player aids, 5 lack of pieces.
We have uploaded in another post, the help to players we have created. And now here, we put the pieces that should have come from the factory day first… but that we must acquire, copy, improvise or create, to have an ideal gaming experience.

This table is the result of several conscientious play test and an average of the data, we hope it serves to you.

@Midnight_Reaper Thanks, i make the correction.

Hello, those are player aids i made, in Microsoft Paint:

About Axis and allies 1941
Much has been criticized about this version, and much of the criticism is correct, because it fails in its main premise: to be a gateway for new players.

-A manual that wastes a LOT of space, and does not include a complete developing of each face for a power as a example. It also does not include a glossary showing what the unit models are, such as if it is at the end of the 1940 manual. It does not include an IPC management table and industrial capacity, as if there were in 1940, for photocopying.
-There are no aid cards for players.
-And yes, there are not enough pieces to play optimally.
All this makes new people get a bad impression of the franchise, even asking, if the other versions have the same shortcomings. Now, videos say that there are missing pieces to play well, but they don’t say which ones or how many.

Those are my ideas:
How many more pieces should the edition have (or you need to add).
11 more gray chips
1 die
1 infantry and 1 destroyer, for USA
1 destroyer, 1 infantry, 1 transport, for Japan
1 submarine for Germany
1 USSR infantry
What pieces to subtract:
2 green chips
1 USSR submarine
2 USSR transports

If Zombies has money, I don’t understand why not 1941, which is supposed to be a more important issue, because it is introductory. They require:
18 CPI of 1
5 CPI of 5
5 CPI of 10

I would also add aeronautical movement counters, as in the revised edition:
4 of 1, 4 of 2, 2 of 3, 2 of 4

I tink a new production an sell cost increase, but now is in Amazon $18us, with those new pieces i believe, no more of $28us. ¿What do you think?

I have obtained an edition of 2005, of which it is incomplete at the factory.
After comparing what is said on sites, I make this table, with the supposed account of the manufacturer vs what came in my box. I hope it helps others.!

And 6 dices.

In saw some Corporal Clegg YouTube video ideas for units.

I’ve always wondered, what is the advantage of buying mechanized infantry or cruises. You, know, i see that for the cost, and the field of production in a minor I.C, they did not offer me a strategic or tactical advantage.

I would consider, for example, buying mechanized infantry, at the cost of 4 IPC, over artillery, if mechanized infantry attack and defend at 2.

Or offered me a skill, where in the face of non-combat movements, it could transport an artillery or infantry, 2 territories.

¿Do you have ideas or house rules, for mech’ or cruisers?, I would love to read, evaluate and adopt your ideas.

@SS-GEN said in G40 Historial v1.1:

Good luck with your game tests. Don’t agree on some No’s but your game. Good Luck.

oH!.. i like to know what N.Os and why. Thus, when we are playing, we will consider your observations, to make corrections, alterations, or eliminate them, if that is the case.

@SS-GEN These are some preview, new things, that we include in our new version 1.2:

New National Objectives:

UK Europe: Theme “Mediterranean supply line”: 2 I.P.C. if UK Europe controls Malta.

UK Pacific: Theme “Jewel of the far East”: 2 I.P.C. if UK Pacific controls all: India, West India and Cylon.

Japan: Theme “USSR Oil trade”: 2 I.P.C. if Japan is not at war with Soviet Union.

@Valladares Hello we have upgrade the SU Objetive.
4. New National Objectives:
Russia: Theme: “Western Worker’s military aid”. When Soviet Union is at war, during the end of SU turn roll a die for US, UK E and UK P, 1 = 2 I. P. C.,2 = Mechanized Infantry, 3 =Anti-Aircraft Artillery, 4 = Artillery, 5 = Tank, 6 = Fighter. To deliver the aid: USA requires Alaska, sea zone 2, 3 and soviet far east not in axis control. Units spawn in Soviet Far East. UK E, requires sea zones 126, 127 free of enemy units and Archangel not in axis control. Units spawn in Archangel. UK P, requires All Persia and Caucasus in allied control. Units spawn in Caucasus. NOTE: If Moscow is in axis hands the objective is still in play. If USA, UKE and UKP capitals are in Axis control, that country can give the help.

Thanks to Milton Valerio Imports, now we have somo Historical Board Gaming Battle pieces, and we plan this Christmas to test new rules, and new ideas we find in the forums.
I make some videos in Spanish to:

Well, the 3°ed rules (PC GAME 1998) still permit you to put a industrial complex in a neutral, but you can only make one unit on it.
