A&A CD players…your help is needed!

Have never played the Hasbro version online, only against the AI, or as all 5 players usings strats from these boards.

I THINK that Hasbro’s multiplayer is direct-link, meaning you and your opponent both need to be online at the same time, and one player makes a direct IP link using the Hasbro program.  Never did it before, so cannot be certain.

Has anyone tried the Philips Media CD+i version of the game? Is it any good? Perhaps we could get the source to that. They seem more likely in my mind, since they never produced it for a huge market like the PC.

While you’re at it, can you spare me some change, moolar (spell?), beans…?

Guest: Your friend could probably be refering to some of the expantion packs. I have tried two different packs. Both with new kinds of boats. Half-battleships, escorts, and destroyers. Could be more, i dont remember.

"I downloaded A&A Iron Blitz from The underdogs.org and I think its an awesome game. "
I find a major contradiction here. The package is put together soo poorly that it is not even played on the zone, or ever was (cept for the first 2 weeks it ever was spammed).
If you are serious about wanting to play on the zone, you are in for a very big surprise. The bugs that show up in online play in every phase dwarf anything you’ve seen while playing the AI offline. And this is an understatement!

Well I can agree with you on Japan if you want to play the Axis, but when I was sent to play England (and this was actually my first game), I was sent back home with a stinging defeat. The main problem, is that even with US support, chances are that England is going to have the socks knocked off them. I went to Africa, I lost. I built a navy, lost that to the Luftwaffe. I tried building an IC in India and the Japanese managed to take that over. By the end of the third round, I had almost lost all my territories in Africa and SE Asia. For the rest of the game, I mainly sent forces to Russia to help them defend against Germany – not very fun.

I recently bought a copy of Axis and Allies over the internet at a used game place. The game is in great shape and runs perfectly. I know how to play the game from having played it at school but I have a question. The game i bought didn’t come with a rule book or instruction manual so I’m wondering, what is the system behind determining what dice turn red when you attack or are defending? I understand that you get to roll as many dice as men you have but what determines if the dice turn red and are a hit or not? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
