Should I get A&A?

Imperious Leader is right.  The rules of A&A have evolved over the years, but each game was designed to work with the rules that existed at the time.  You can always experiment with using the new rules on older games, but the result may not be balanced properly.

In combat movement yes. In non-combat movement no. It is the same as an in and out blitz.

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.

Damn Hasbro!  That’s exactly why I’m confused.  Like you, I’ve spent a lot of time playing AI rather than RI…  :-D
That’s why I’m happy to see my laptop coming in the next week or so; no more playing the predictable AI.

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:

I’m not sure how to fix the lags; however, if you save frequently (like every turn) – then, once it starts to lag … exit the entire game – then, reopen it and load it back up. This will temp. fix it (until it starts to lag again). Sorry, that’s all the advise that I can give … but, does anyone else know a better remedy to this lagging effect???

Which one should I buy and what is the difference in the 2? Is Iron Blitz a release to fix bugs and be a better game, or is it just and expansion to include ‘marines’ & ‘destroyers’ etc.?

Appearantly you can’t buy Iron Blitz anymore, but you can still get the original A&A just about anywhere fairly cheap.

yeah, destroyers can fire at planes but subs can’t. destroyers also get the “no subs first strinke” thing like in europe and pacific
