Should I get A&A?

Forum issue is solved, please try again.  :-)

I just wonder, why Germany doesn’t have enought control markers in my box to cover Soviet Union with Western Europe?
Is it okay?

I’m in Tyler Texas.

it honestly never occured to me to check out lite. Think i’ll do that.

But I assume you’ve played a lot of historical, so maybe you can tell me, does the russia, then axis, then allies, then axis & allies ad nauseum turn structure alter the gameplay in anyway, does it effect balance negatively?

I mean one of the major components of OOB A&A revised that is integral to strategy it seems is that something can be done on one powers turn that cannot be undone until anothers, or that something is pointless to do because it will be undone on the next powers turn, etc.

If say germany and japan go at once, does it open possibilities for unbalanced moves that are hard to counter?
Or conversely, on the allied turn, russia/india can be reinforced it seems to a greater extent before otherwise “normal” axis gains can be made (for example normally germany and japan will get to make a little progess before the US or UK can field units to help defend russia)

I will say again, that the revised historical map is superior in one vital way, to me, that other maps are not, and that is the ipc values for nuetrals and the increased number of victory cities, just having this on the map opens many new rules possibilities that can help break the monotonous mold of most games were the same moves are made over and over and the dice are largely the grand determiners of success.

Sure there are a great many more “gorgeous” maps out there, in terms of the color scheme, layout, addition of convoy zones and such, but most seem to lack the expanded IPC listings, the numerous victory cities, and yet still closely match the revised map enough for my tastes.

anywho, thank you again for a wonderful map and the numerous ideas.

That’s pretty much what I’m getting… 2 sets of all the pieces, 1 set of chips, and control markers. I frequently run out of markers for Japan, Germany, and Russia sometimes.

Hello!

Can someone please give a detailed list of the box content of either AAP or AAE? I’m talking about the number of chips, dices, markers and especially the ammount of units here.

You see, i bought both games a while ago and i figured it would be nice to combine the content of the boxes so that i would never run out of miniatures and chips during the game. However I kind of regret it now, cause it’s quite a pain in the ass having to set up such a massive ammount of stuff. I’d like to be able to pick just one of the boxes and start playing right away, rather than searching for everything necessary in two seperate boxes :cry:

So does anyone have a list? It can be either from AAE or AAP (as long as i’ve got the list of one box, i can sort out the rest by myself ;)). And please indicate not just how many miniatures, but also the type of units (tanks/artillery/etc.).

I’d be really pleased!

p.s. I learned from my mistake and made one of the revised edition of A&A, if anyone needs it, i’ll be glad to post it here :wink:

hah, got the hint. swweeeeett
!!!

Maybe try Spring1942.com for the placement.
