Just bought this version and think its pretty good.
KGF is the best strategy in this game by far. The Soviets should pull all their eastern infantry first turn into Yakut providing a large 10 infantry stack easily defensible by adding roving defense from fighters or the odd armour.
Russia attacks WR with almost everything, leaving 5 inf in caucaus(pull back two inf from east, raise 4 infant and place at end of turn creating 9 men and 2 ftr defense)and Belorussia with two ftr and 2 inf leaving 1 behind to prevent a blitz, eliminating important fodder for germany and creating a pyhric victory for Germany because they will attack one of the two large build ups and possibly even losing if dice go bad. Russia can then cut off the force, expand and counterattack eliminating a large chunk of G armour.
The british sacrifice india and pull back to africa with their navy, securing the mediteranean and build a complex in egypt, securing englands holdings in africa and supporting the southern defense of russia through transjordan/persia, this also threatens germany’s underbelly and takes away German IPCs permanently from northern africa.
The US concentrates on a navy bridge with two parts to bridge between eastern canada and western europe. Half way through this phase, the UK can clean out Norway but not take and the US takes it on turn 3 and builds a complex in norway turn 4. By turn four you should be able to have an untouchable allied combined fleet with the UK and US being able to land 4 trans/turn on west europe. This could happen quicker depending on losses in the first turn because this plan is based on losing all allied naval pieces turn 1 except for the british battleship and transport (reinforced by russia sub)which should survive against one ftr and sub. This has worked very well for me.

Did you have to list all of them?
-
yea on my sig. what ‘other ones’ you speak of?
-
ah ok. without the underline on the signiture block it looks like it was just omitted, that’s all.
BTW the mousepad material, when you get it can you let us know if it rolls up? I know the advantage on vinyl was that you can move it around pretty eaisly. :mrgreen:
-
Ok sure
-
The AA50th map = awesome. :-D
-
Any word on the mouse pad map?
-
I will be doing this on the next map. All other maps have been printed on the vinyl so i really dont need 2 copies.
However, i might print my Great War map which has seen some changes after more playtesting on that material.
AS soon as i got something i will post.
-
ill make you guy’s jelous i can get this printed 4 free.
my bro works w/ thesehttp://www.gandinnovations.com/printers.asp
jelous yet??
-
Yep. I am. I need a map.
Was wondering if you get the vinyl lamented or just leave it.
-
you can have A&A printed curtains!
Yes, some jealousy here.
-
You just leave it. It is perfect. the ink is not coming off and soda spills are no problem. I dont even think its possible to laminate it anyway. It rolls up very nice and does not crease with vinyl.
-
ya i could get them but id rather a aaa bed spred!. im getting my floor done (hard wood) as an aaa map prob il’s

If you are serious then pictures are a must.
-
if… and it’s now a big if. one of the machines that prints on wood is being upgraged and who knows how long that will take
-
These aren’t the best pics, but playing on a big board is awesome!
Thanks IL!!!
-
Are those watch faces for the planes?
-
No, they are just dial counters that came on the flight stands. We don’t use them, but you could use them as counters to indicate the number of planes or the number of movements a plane has made. Any way you go though, the flight stands are really nice :-)
-
Where do you get those stands and can you buy them in bulk? and where? and how do you attach them ?
-
That’s exactly what I was thinking. They’re nice. Where did you get them?
-
My cousin bought them on the web somewhere, so I can’t help with that. They are very similar to these:
http://www.back2base-ix.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=67&review=writeHis were pretty cheap, but I think 8 for $12 is a pretty cheap since they have magnets in the tips.
The ones in the link have magnets in the tip, but my cousin’s didn’t. So, he bought a bag of small, rare earth magnets and glued them to the tips of his flight stands. Then, he glued small flat (really thin) magnets to the bottom of his planes. I’m not sure where he got those, but they came as a sheet, and he just cut it up. The planes sit on the flight stands really well. I’ll try to post better pictures after our next game.
Just like in the link above, his flight stands came in two heights.
He also glued a strip of the flat magnets to the tops of the carriers, and that makes a world of difference when moving carriers around.
I don’t know exactly what it is, but it all just adds a whole new element to the game.
