This mod is a total conversion of the base game of Axis & Allies, intended to transform that game into a reimagination of, and tribute towards, the golden age of clan / war group combat on Roblox in the years of 2010 to 2012, focusing primarily on the mid 2011 to mid 2012 era. Players will be able to play as one of a constantly growing number of well-researched, unique, historical factions from that time period, using a wide variety of authentic units, technologies, and commander abilities. Obviously this is not a simulation, and certain artistic liberties have been taken regarding the form and function of units, weapons, and and combat itself, for both gameplay and balance reasons, and practical modding purposes. The mod's goals are extremely massive in scope and depth. As such, if you or someone you know took part in any of the groups or wars this mod pays tribute to, please do not hesitate to contact me with your input. Researching this subject is more difficult than it once was.
Just to show work is still being done, I've compiled a little showcase of new models being used in the mod.
Clockwise, starting from top:
1. Atmoblaster 777, aka "Trigun". A finnicky ROBLOX Gear item which saw occasional use at bases where gear items were allowed. In the mod it currently functions as a special weapon used in the USM 4th Infantry "Palace Raiders" squad, a representation of USM raiders at the Austratt Palace. It can only target or deal damage to infantry, but applies a sort of stun effect that works well in conjunction with the squad's other, more short-ranged weapons.
2. Free Model Bren gun. The origin of this particular model is unknown, with British Red Devils using the version published by Kingleonidasofsparta. A rather advanced gun, let down by a limited ammo supply.
3. IRM-40. A famous, classic weapon in the early WW2 group scene, being developed, originally, for the infamous Imperial Robloxian Military under lewisado, but a design that would persist in Austratt and Allemand Empire service if for no other reason than nostalgia or tradition. Some versions had a bayonet mounted under the barrel, and damage varied per variant.
4. Free Model SMAW. The origins of this model are unknown, though it was for a long time by far the most common SMAW model in ROBLOX. This particular variant fired guided missiles, something totally unrealistic as far as real life SMAW function is concerned, but perhaps inspired by the SMAW in Modern Warfare 3.
5. MacMillan TAC-50, by Bloodstain. This rifle fires a high damage projectile at an insane velocity, well-deserving of its Anti-material designation. Hypothetically used by USM 173rd Airborne, under William172.
6. Sten gun. Likely made by manofthelol, a very high-damage weapon, used by BRD amongst others.
7. Roblox Micro-Uzi. Another ROBLOX-created mesh, utilized in many forms by many different groups, but most notably as a "MAC-10" in 2012, by Russian Army.
Center: A Free Model M26 Frag Grenade, very common.
The M26 grenade model lacks the normally present pin and safety latch, as it is a projectile mesh only visible when being thrown.
And yes, the IRM-40 really does look like that. Ive aimed for authenticity when making these meshes, even if it means something looks rather odd or bland.
I love the sniper rifle.
I see you have a trigun. Is that supposed to be handled like a pistol? It would seem a little weird with the two-handed animations, unless there is mass recoil.
Yeaaah it uses the rifle animation set presently, which Im not super happy with, but it works, more or less. I'm afraid to try making new animations in case even the wraparound solution ive considered to not being able to export A&A .kf isnt doable.
Awesome models!
