What is the best a/a game ( title not screwed up)

This is an issue that has cropped up in numerous A&A games.  The box board photos are often taken by marketing department people who simply want to make the picture look pretty and who aren’t overly concerned about depicting things accurately.

The problem is the US won’t be able to do anything with those transports off Gibraltar because the axis will be able to counter attack the allied ground forces almost anywhere they land. Not only that if you move to land in say Southern France, now your transports are woefully out of position. Also Russia just gets absolutely creamed in this version by Germany and Italy’s can opening ability. You need to have US send a steady stream of 18 ground a turn into Europe. That is 9 transports off Gib landing in Spain, and 9 transports off Eastern US getting ready to pick up the land units for the next turn. Good players won’t let you land in a beneficial spot for the allies without significant loss of tempo from moving your transports and fleet way out of position.

@z0m4d:

These are pretty sweet!  Any motivation to do one adjusted for the different national objectives in the 2nd edition?

I concur!  These are the best I’ve found and the NO board is fantastic!  I’d love to see these updated for the 2nd Ed.!  Exclamation point!

@MarkVIIIMarc:

St Louis Missouri has an excellent mail order place called miniature market.com. When i pre ordered mine they offered to ship it even though i live only twenty minutes away.

Minimarket does tons of ebay and website business with war at sea and other minis.

I live in San Jose. How long would it take from the time they ship it to the time it gets here? I ordered it yesterday, so it should ship tomorrow, on Monday

My friend… a little searching never hurt anyone. The top thread in the Axis & Allies Pacific 1940 board has what you are looking for:

This is better than anything WOTC will make.

J1 will be foolish in AA40 Combined
A G2 attack on russia would co-ordinate with a J2 attack on the US in the Pacific.

@i:

well mabe you tweke that abit so you can only do 50% damage to factoreis when attakeing but defending you can kill it if you what

What?

i meant if you attack you can only do 50% damage but defending you can do 100% damage
1damage=1hit
so if you have ten inf and roll 5 2 when defending you can take those hits and damege you indestrey.

Still a little lost
