Hi gang,

Welcome to the new forum for use with the Rommel’s Brigades Rules.

This forum is going to be the official Q&A area for questions on the new Advanced rules, as well as the new community site for people who want more information and updates on the game.

As most of you know AAM is a great system, but with many broken rules and abilities. In order to rectify the problems I have taken my own miniatures rules and converted them to make a better game, which can be used with the AAM units if you wish a more advanced and detailed system to play with.

Rommel’s Brigades is an open and more historical set of rules, with more common sense approach to using 1/144 scale WWII miniatures sets.

Over the coming days I will put up links to the new maps, rules, counters and brigade cards so that people can access and download them. The base website and the Mirror for it are below. Check back next week and you will find much that is new and interesting there.

If you have any questions or are wondering what its all about then feel free to post here and I will check in once or twice a day to answer them for you.

I was thinking something similar to what you guys are saying.  Me and my friend were talking about interesting units that can possilbly make the game a twist.  I mentioned the idea of a “Propaganda Truck”, in which we said that if enemys are in a certain radius of it….you have to roll for it to either have a positive or negative effect.  We really didnt discuss what a positive or a negative effect would be…however a good idea would probaly be a +1 on attack die for a positive effect and -1 on attack die for a negative effect.  We also said that it could help your own units as well.  Seems like a good idea to me, although I dont think theyll actually make something like that.  :lol:

Good suggestion, but to balance your rule I suggest that

On a roll of of 1 to 3, the player who owns the paratrooper chooses in which he wants the unit to land, consistent with the rules as printed on the stat card.

On a roll of 4 to 6, you would roll two more dice as you are suggesting.

one thing we did was make three different groups. instead of solders and armor, we have a separate vehicles deal. they pretty much have a lot lower armor than they do on the stat cards. we are also working on the whole artillery deal, either land based or naval based. also, air strikes, nothing like having a stuka come down and waste some guys. when we work out the kinks ill post the whole thing on here.
