AA$@ on GTO?

I suggest you download TripleA (there are turorials on the forums). You can play against the AI (like GTO I guess), hotseat and online. It rocks.

Using original rules, Germany has no real need for AA guns, especially with the 3 it already starts with. Russia will only have 2 planes for a while, since they will only be able to afford ground troops for the longest time. If it gets to the point where the Allies are attacking Berlin, Rome, or Paris the AA gun is irrelevant. I think the best is to keep one in Germany, one in either Southern or Western Europe (it can move around depending on the situation), and one out somewhere on the Eastern Front.

It’s an attractive game board though. I’ve seen some of the original AA boards and they were hideous. I think it serves the purpose of getting people into the series well. We’ve added D-Day to the game list. The games get very heated and the players are very competitive, this last game was sort of a buzz kill because it was over in only 3 rounds and seemed too easy, I was convinced we must have been doing a lot of things wrong, and I think I’ve realized all of those things now. =)

@Sir:

Aaah, so I was misunderstanding the rules…. :roll:

So if I have an anti aircraft gun in england and someone sends over 3 bomber units, I roll three dice before the combat starts, and every “1” rolled, takes out a bomber unit straight away and they dont get to fight?

Yes, and this is also true if your opponent is sending in forces to attack your territory that contains an AA gun.  If they send ANY air units the AA gun gets a single shot at each and every one of them.  A roll of 1 will remove that air unit from the attack before they even get to participate.

Just in case : http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=16051.msg536874#msg536874

tekky,

love your + karma!!!

I would also have to agree on that one.  I would rather have space for more units as well.

LOL!!! :-D
