Memoir 44

No they suck. They are larger and made with totally different ( and rubbery plastic)

Thats another company that missed a trick that they could make AA scale pieces, allowing people to buy them for that purpose.

There’s a suitably-sized halftrack in the Central Powers expansion set from Table Tactics.

Why not just buy Memoir 44 to play Memoir 44? Does every game produced have to have AA sized pieces to add to an AA game?

Only if the GAME is inferior to AA. To me it is. If i don’t like the game its either a door stop or nothing but ‘pieces’ for other games that i will play. I got enough door stops.

I think Memoir 44 is a great game. Good expansions. It the ability to heighten the game play with 3D terrain that can be used with Tide of Iron as well if you devote the time to make it. Plus with Memoir 44 each battle is based on a battle from WWII with an explanation of what happened in the battle so a person can actually learn a little history while playing. Not too much of that with Axis and Allies although I do enjoy a game of AA42 once in a while.

I got Tides of Iron too ( 3 copies) but have not played it.

You have three copies of a $90 game that you haven’t even played yet? Why…?

I got them for like $55 each on pre-order

Okay so you got a good deal, but why buy 3 copies of something that you will not use?

Just to support games like that getting made. Eventually i will play it or make it something else.

How can you afford getting like 6 copies of every single game that comes out haha

he is an adult, not kids like us

The map components and counters portion of Tide of Iron are pretty cool. I did not care for the gameplay or having to take figs out of bases. Something about the scale of the game is all wrong, just like the land based A&A minis. But the modular gameboards are top notch in that set.

Memoir '44 is a great board game.

its just great in so many different ways.

Well I’m in college and I work and I could never afford getting 6 copies of every single game that ever comes out

I work full time and still can’t afford to get that many copies. 1 copy of a game is enough.

A man has got to have his priorities.
