Basically I have two kinds of players I play A&A with. For casual player and family I can con into playing A&A with during the holidays, it’s all about simplicity. When I can get an A&A junkie like myself and one of my brothers playing, we can do complicated HRs. For that middle ground game I use a little of both. Frankly most games I get in, because I only play FTF, are Revised and Classic with 42.2 coming in distant 3rd place. Global with “Toblerone’s House Rules” is solo and experimental.
New Pieces/Rules on a Throwback Board.

Anyone ever played new rules and units on the old board?
-
It would be very tough to go back and play such a simple board as Classic. That being said, I bet a lot of the newer mechanics wouldn’t work so well with such a limited territory count.
-
I’m sure some stuff mght not work. Dicetruction played thier home brew version and it sounded like good times. I just wondered if anyone else had attempted it.
-
I have played many games of classic with artillery and cruisers
-
Did something similar back int he day. No arty but used the old Fortress America hovertanks as a Destroyer/Gunboat. Don’t laugh lol that’s pretty much all we could muster at the time. We used the parts for different stuff too. Back then there wasn’t a lot of options.
-
Lol I used arty from risk, and Legos for destroyers

One of the earliest A&A expansions which came with sculpts, Enemy on the Horizon, was designed to be played on the Milton Bradley board. It had pieces in the five classic colours. The unit types were commandos, destroyers, artillery.

Hahaha…thanks for sharing that Marc. Yep I have seen the infantry years ago in a random photo with Table Tactics landing craft. On a second note if you still have an MB Game Master box take a look at the British infantry pic on the back… the sub machine gun and pose of the sculpt is far different than anything I’ve EVER seen OOB. I wonder if LH has them in his safety deposit box somewhere LOL.

Anyone know of a place to pick up these units for play on the classic board? Also is there a post within the forum that has a the implementation of the rules. for the Cruisers and Artillery.
