Maybe not surprising, ajgundam5, but certainly deserving of praise. The US invented the game of basketball, but now struggles for dominance…point of reference.
Cystic Crypt, congratulations to the gold medal winners. Their hard work paid off! :-D
Well to me subs have never been a giant threat. Then again, I have not gone against too many people who utilized them well enough for me to worry. But since one of the purposes of the destroyer was to hunt subs the rule of having a destroyer present for air attacks makes sense to me. Plus it makes the subs and destroyers each a tad more valuable to use.
To make a board game as authentic to real life as possible is kind of like taking a single frame from a movie. You won’t cover everything but you can at least get the gist of it. :wink:
don_riggins - thanks for the response. I wasn’t completely aware of all the double dealing that led to the “Appeasement of Hitler”. It’s amazing how many times before the war’s start Hitler could have been stopped. That devil had some luck…
what I usually do is, say I’m rolling 5 inf, a fighter, and three tanks(on attack), roll 5 white and 4 red and say that the red is for the 3’s and the white is for the 1’s.
Or if it is a small battle where each side only has one type of unit, we roll at the same time.
If you are anything like me your game box(or boxes I have 4) are beat up and taped back together repeatedly. Also the rule book can be hard to find. This website has printable rules for most new Hasbro games including all three versions of Axis & Allies.
