how come there’s no check list for the recent release on a and a

play A&A world map with the white booklet enhanced rules.  makes it more tacitcal, and it begins the idea of single round combat for chinese forces.  with being able to make tactical retreats on defense to lure someone into a trap.  its sweet.  :-)

Huh?

ok great then my 3 copies will allow enough extras for outfitting my revised sets and allow for AARHE to have cruisers and they will be legitimate

I tried to contact the replacement but no luck so far.

I’m sure he’s working at funagain full time.

Battle of the Bulge included units from the UK but it it only a two player game.
