free 1d6 dmg to each IC in range is pretty good if you ask me. japan and usa need to do some shuffling if they get this, but everyone else gets to start shooting right away
Movies to watch while playing AA

Saving Private Ryan

Sometimes we’ll put a movie on in the background…
U-571
Oh please NO!!!
I know A&A isn’t a historically accurate board game, but that film is so bogus
It was British personnel from HMS Bulldog who first captured a naval Enigma machine, from U-110 in the North Atlantic May 1941, before the United States entered the war. The british government even issued a statement condemming the film.
Imagine, if you would British Soliders raising the flag on Iwa Jima in a film?
Anyways, I would put a documentary series on. I prefer a good war doco to most war films, as historically inaccuarcy makes the history teacher in me rage :-D

I know that’s why I put the little devil smile at the end of my post.

I like that movie. Micheal Caine and that other bloke did quite well. Lots of tension and the end was cool.
-
I second Band of Brothers. What a great miniseries. If you haven’t seen it, watch it now.

“Don’t you throw… that ruddy spear… at me…” fires service revolver into face of attacking Zulu…
-
Zulu dies…. 120 take his place… Lets see you fire again.

We generally have military marches from the time period playing in the background. If you ste i up right the music even matches up with the turns pretty much.
See this thread for some links.

BANG!!
“Don’t you throw… that ruddy spear… at me!”
*Runs Zulu through with sabre while reloading service revolver one handed… using special technique taught to a few high ranking English officers…"

Hehe. I second the choice of Das Boot. It is both funny and scary when the silence breaks with a really loud, really desperate whisper in german. Especially when everybody sucks at german.
