I think Norway is going to be much more important to Germany under this set up, than it was in Revised. If the AA50-41 info is correct, I’m going to be sinking that British battleship every game, and moving a good portion of the air defense from France to Norway, at least for the first round.  Seems way too easy a kill to pass up, and at least that will shut down any immediate threat to Scandinavia, while still covering Russia and the critical sea zones around the UK/North sea. The situation on the eastern front seems a bit slower on the uptake, especially with no Russian air, so I think its probably best to concentrate on England first.

Right now I’m liking the 8 inf 1 bomber buy for G, since they have very little infantry fodder at the outset. At least according to the current info/set up. Maybe even two rounds worth, before seriously pushing with the armor.

What buys are you guys looking at for Germany?

Nice work, thanks.

I like the icons you used in this one.

@Sherman:

What would have made the game more interesting is if they changed that rule so that you collect only half of your income, because counterattacks from somewhere else would have been a realistic possibility. Thoughts?

I like this idea, new house rule to pose to the guys.

Exactly they are add ons… Like House rules anyways (immunity never aa gunscan kill jets

Hi Guys,

I forgot to ask.  Have any of you started using any of the new rules we have discussed from AA50?  I have posted in other threads, my results.  What about you guys?  Granted, I want to add a new rule every game session, or so my friends tell me ( I love variety. )  We play face to face on a 6’ 2004Revised board, now we play with the new rules we have collected on this site,
(thanks Krieghund and everyone else.) 
So, I am curious, have any of you guys, did the same and what did you think.  I loved it.  Like I have said before lots of Navy now, operational and useful, especially subs.
also, the planning map prints nicely on legal paper(found at staples for me,) most printers can use, even when not mentioned in the printers manual.
Hell, todays game was cancelled, too many people, missing ill.
light the fire and drive that game, man I am having fun.
I found you guys and getting a new AA game to boot -fire!!!

i dotn mind just got a&ae and wa dgettign a&a50 right away but wait for christmas… its all good

12!!! great and i thought 15 was cheap lmao wow!

I still can not beleive that they did that 12 this is getting cheaper for units everywere im addign as a house rule you cna defend with fighters no matter what either ide adding no amtter what unless super duper balanced for germany

House Rules!

They always add flare like what you were saying attack on russia only formidable until japan attacks them which would be really historical and maybe making territories like “midway” worth an ipc for the axis and not for the allies love house rules like that

So the reverse:

If the defender has transports they cant be allocated as hits in any combat round. They are invisible and automatically removed from play provided the non-transports have been removed as combat loses. If the attacker does not stay long enough to kill the last combat ship the defending transports remain in place.

yes its in fact thread.

just checked it out but i dtn wanna play a&a rly on this to boring srry

ah tyhere there there its ok cry i understand but you are right amke italy have a few more gains in afirka to make the allies look bad when the axis where palying correctly p: lol LOL!

ok but really canadians did make a big impact in my piont of view its for more canadians to get the game truly man they noticed by sales that we buy games to we might be small but we do make them get money so a canadian town will get some new players there me i ahte the idea of vcs and antartica plz lol

ya i agree with you cheaper subs = germany time unless the germany some how has the idea in mind to mass navy then subs and maybe ship from the start would be in the atlantic which is smart german strat

@Bardoly:

Thank you Krieghund for your answer.  The Fact Sheet was very unclear about this.
With this, I have to agree with Funcioneta that this can be quite detrimental to the smaller ICs, but at least Germany can never be SBR’d in 1 round for all of its $ now.

Couldn’t in LHTR either.

In LHTR, in order to do 20 damage to Germany, USA and UK would each have to dedicated 10 IPC worth of bomber damage.  In this game, USA or UK needs to dedicate that much.  Big difference.  USA sitting back shipping bombers off while UK invades Northwestern Europe should be a viable strategy.  We’ll see.

Yes, but LHTR was the fix which castrated SBR/Rockets.  This rule change seems to have struck a balance between having a strictly SBR capaign to eliminate all of a country’s cash (usually Germany, but occasionally Rusia, and rarely England) which is a little boring, and the opposing view in which just about the only time someone SBRs is when their bomber has nothing else to do.  I mean how often does Germany need to produce 10 units in 1 turn?  Almost never, unless it it the end of the game for them.  Usually 6-7 is okay, which means that if they repair 15 (less than 6-7 because the cost of repairs means that you can’t build as much) so as to produce 5 units, then the next turns SBR can’t do more than 15 points of damage.

I disagree, nerfing a broken mechanic is a good thing IMO.  I don’t know about other players, but if I was Germany and only producing 5-7 units a turn, I’d be wondering how long it would take for Russia to run me down.  It is nice that damage doesn’t HAVE to be repaired completely, but most likely, it often will be, or at least enough to hurt badly.

Great , black_elk, I’ll start giving you + karma’s, soon you will be a legend

lol!

To buy IC’s in China which will be useless for Japan anyway, a stupid tactic, if the Jap player wastes money like that the axis will surely lose anyway.

From a technically point of view it does seem like this is a glitch from the game designers, although we can’t say for sure until the 23. October.
