Sounds good, but you should check with Muzzy Lane that it is OK to make an other mode like that.
Allies vs Axis isnt the name of the other game! The name of the other game is Axis vs Allies, or am I on the wrong tracks now!?

Hi All,
Yes, we did get a note from Hasbro taking issue with the name and logo, both of which are copyright protected. Their concern is that people seeing the actual name and logo as it appears on the box might come download the mod expecting the actual Risk game with those rules, etc. No worries, no one is in any trouble, but we did immediately remove the scenario and I contacted Odanan explaining what happened. Obviously our community is way too sharp to let it happen unnoticed. :-)
To TGM's point, that is exactly why we named our mod "Allies vs. Axis" instead of the name of Hasbro's "Axis and Allies", even though the only thing it had in common with the classic A&A game was that we turned all the major nations into two giant "nations" to represent the two sides.
Since any mod produced here will not emulate the rules used in Risk (also copyrighted) it shouldn't be a problem for Odanan to create a mod similar to his old one, as long as the name and any trademark images are not used.

Ok! Uploaded the "new" scenario. In fact, I think the banner is prettier now. :)
Chris, can you delete this thread so I can start another fresh new one?

Why not keep it? Its not like anything changed other than the name and RISK flavor

It is great to hear that you guys didnt get any problems and that a big company as Hasbro is having this forum under notice!
But, Odanan could you make this mod for MH Original to????
Cause if you did then you would just be the best!
Ps: Is it possible that any one could remod Allies vs Axis so that you can play it also in Mh Original, I know that it aint so hard to do by yourself but I think that a person with greater experience and with bigger talent could do it!;)

I might try to convert Odanan's Board Wargame scenario.. But at a later date.
If I do end up doing it, then I'd try to include some exclusive nations just for the MH version, or something like that.

TGM, as much as I agree with you, it's Muzzy's scenario, he would need their permission to do so.
