Are you using a different map?
Yes brain…you saw and comment my map on another topic.
The map of xeno game is not prototype at all.
The US is now as far away from France as it is from Japan. How crazy is that.
There’s 5 sea zone between eastern USA and France on my custom map.
Have you heard anything credible, other than Mikes last post in October that it is again coming out soon? No.
Also, I contacted Mike and asked for a copy of the old WAW online file. He said he would get back to me. Maybe he will get back to me in a “few months”. Do you have one?
No. Anyway, I rewrite the rules with some of my friends because there was a lot of incorrect things in WAW rules. (want a copy of my rules?)
The posts for Xeno are looking mighty thin. I actually don’t even see WAW Expansion advertised. I wonder if the new WAW 2005 contains the rules for both the regular WAW and the Expansion. Mabe the Expansion became the basic game. I knew a lot of people who thought WAW, without the Expansion really stunk. It would be great to have a combined rule book. But between you and me, when AA Europe comes out, if you can indeed combine them, that may just permanently replace Xeno. However if they ever come out with WAW online 2.0, and it is as good as it is promised, it could win out.
I agree.
Thanks,
I have mulling around the website for sometime but failed to scroll down and acutally see the rules. Since the WAW Expansion at the time I bought it actually had 2 rule books, one for the standard and one for the expansion, this looks like it just combines it. I will start looking through the rules now.
I really encourage anyone to look at the rules through the link. The expansion in my opinion, is the best combination out thier in terms of the map, rules, historic play, diplomacy, tactics, and individual national unique units that are realistic but not way to complicated. Although I have just recievied a download from IL’s website. A map from gamedreamers wich looks awesome, but complicated. He has games that use the exact same map as WAW, although I do not know how the rules differ.
Does anyone have a suggestion on where to go to print out a map that is on a computer file that is the quality of a basic AA map?
Just read the rules posted for WAW. It is the expansion and standard rolled into one. Good change. However, there are some updates to the rules made a few rules back posted on the forum, however, those updates which made for better play did not make it into the rules posted on line.
Incidentally Brain Damaged, I could not access that page with the rules through the website itself. Only through your link. It really seems that over the past few years, WAW has gone down hill as evident by there forum being rarely visited or used, and the constant promise over the past 5 years that there WAW 2.0 with all the bells as whistles will come out in just a few months.
I am dissapointed.
You’re right I went to their website and tried to get to the rules I posted and could not do it.

That’s the reason why a rewrite the rules.
I keeped the essential but I add a lot of thing like oilfield, capitals, ports, light bomber, reconnaissance airplane, dive bomber, escort, light and heavy cruiser escort carrier,mine and more.
I also change the vichy rule and Japan/USSR situation.
So if you want a copy, It will be pleasure for me to send it.

A word document is fine.
I would be interested in a file as well. If anyone has IL’s rules for advanced WW2 I would love to see that as well.

Are you interested in World War II Struggle for Europe and Asia?
under normal circumstances i would die for something like that, however, I am playing WAW with my son a lot and am curretnly working on the perfect set of house rules. I am then going to buy AA Pacific in anticipation of AA Europe so we can try the truly global master piece. If it is a disapointment, then I probabbly would. I like complicated, as long as it makes sense and historical, so its easy to understand.
Eddie and Brain,
I’m working on that….
I don’t forget you…
