Axis & Allies 1940 Global

[Danielos Andersoni]

This game is great! Playing this game online is an absolute blast! But why not use the same interface to make the ultimate Axis & Allies experience: Global 1940? The actual board game is slightly overwhelming in time and detail but if you could play it digitally at your own pace with one turn in 24 hours instead of playing it in one (very long) evening it would be entirely manageable and make an awesome WW2 game!

I would happily donate to a Kickstart campaign to make this game a reality! What do you other players think?

it would be nice

Yeah totally agree. I wish there will be more editions of axis and allies becoming digitally payable. The anniversary edition is also a great edition.

[Lozmoid]

Yes, yes and yes.

[BSWEN]

Agreed and im sure they have been debating this for awhile. biggest problem this platform is going to have is the airplane scrambling options. personally i wish beamdog would just create their own type of global 1940 game with this platform and what they have learned to include a fog of war. that would be the ultimate.

I suspect that the likelihood of other editions being published depends on:
(1) sales of this version
(2) the whim of the absentee landlord, Hasbro

I'd also observe that there is nothing preventing anyone from creating reasonably accurate versions of any A&A edition in TripleA.

I play here because there is a ladder instead of on TripleA. I do prefer the global map and 50th anniversary board.

That being said if you make a ranked ladder for global. I will be your reigning champ every season I play.

I wrote the Japan playbook. I DOW J1 religiously if I haven't already DOW G1.

Usually for global the allies get a bid of 18-26 ipc of units. So some balance changes will have to be made.

Right out the gate. Give Russia a single bomber. Add some inf to the middle east or Africa maybe a sub or destroyer somewhere. Slap an inf or two in USA. Something along these lines.

Your standard bid is something like 1-2 subs and 2 inf in the medit sea. But if you balance doing that then your games will play out a certain way all the time - better to have different stuff going on each game.
