Axis and Allies - The Original Game Event Cards / Mines - by Sylvain Lauzac - Introduction I have added two new elements to Axis and Allies. Since we like playing with them, I thought I would post it on this newsgroup. The first new element is the possiblity to mine an ocean, the second is to add event cards (a bit like in Fortress America). We have playtested them, the mines don't seem to shift the play balance, but the event cards do: they favor the Axis. So when we play with the cards, we always let USSR attack in the first turn. If you are playing with these modifications, please let me know what you think of them, if they favor the Axis too much, if they are unclear, etc... so that I can improve them.
