I like both modes of travel but I’m a soldier. My son joined the Navy instead. I play both but I play the army game more!

They come pre-painted and ready to rock but feel free to paint away. All expansion pieces come painted as well. Easy game to learn but made to play as a stand alone game, not recomended for the board games. Although you can use the infantry pieces.

@Motdc:

The starter is not meant, unfortunately, to be a stand-alone game. You must buy at least a few more booster packs to get a good mix of units to mix-n-match a decent army together.

That’s exactly it. You’ll need probably 4 or more boosters to make the starter actually enjoyable. Anything less than 100 point battles just aren’t fun.

Good call. I ended up buying my iPhone last year when it was mucho dollars. I used money from a huge eBay auction I sold. Then, a month later, iPhones dropped $200. DANGIT! Of course, back then, I wasn’t introduced to A&A.

Again, just make sure VASSAL is configuration-based enough. if you have to code to make changes then I’d look at one of the more polished products.

Battlegrounds has stated on their website that they are working on a wargamer-specific tabletop version of their software. Id be curious to know how that is comiong along…

That being said VASSAL has been around for a while and lots of games have been ported to it so I know its pretty solid.

That’s great info, thanks everyone!

Max and I played through a short game tonight. It was only when I played solo after he hit the hay, that I really grasped the rules. It’s actually a nice blend of skirmish and area style games. Positioning is oh so important. When I rush in I get slaughtered ‘cause I don’t realize how much damage those tiny pieces of plastic are capable of. I’m lovin’ it so far!

It could be an advantage to either side.

4x SS-Haupsturmfurher
3x Imperial Sergeant
16x SS-Panzergrenadier
4x Panzerfaust
6x Wehrmacht Sniper
4x PAK 40
2x Mauser

Just think of how long and hard it would be to kill all them (assuming you even could). The Allies can do the same thing with Partisans and Paratroopers, or Commissars, support weapons, and chinese infantry. This is why my play group always uses historical formations; so you don’t get lopsided battles.
