#Axis and allies variants update#

The major conflict in North America is between the United States and the Confederate States. The map is inspired by both Harry TurtledoveвЂ™s Great War series and an alternate history saga known as The Feast of Eagles, which imagined a world in which Europe remained largely divided after the Wars of Religion.

We will use an alternate history to bring all corners of the map into play. The game pieces will be a mixture of plastic pieces and traditional counters. Possession of a given number of points within a given territory translates to ownership, which yields a production value in IPCs. The game will feature both territories and point-to-point movement. They may, however, be captured by the enemy. The latter are units that move along with armies, allowing the player to activate that stack every turn for free. Additional Operations Points can be obtained through card play, from possession of strategic resources, and by building and placing supply columns. Rather than being able to move all units every turn, players will spend Operations Points to move specific armies. Basically, players will draw from decks of cards that set global conditions, activate neutral nations, and let them activate units in given territories. MadisonвЂ™s War bolted onto the Axis & Allies core rules. In terms of mechanics, this will be a card-driven game like Amateurs to Arms and Mr. This means that I will engage a professional mapmaker to create a high-quality play mat and play aids (e.g., charts, roundels, cards, etc.).

In short, creating an Axis & Allies variant similar to Global War, but without the intent to mass produce or sell the product commercially. The goal is to create a single, custom game map, ruleset, and playset for use in private games.

This is an update on a project I began some time ago, Axis & Allies: World at War.
