Wanted! AA50 Italian Tanks, $8 EACH!

I generally don’t build up my navy.  Italy starts with so little money that its hard to do.  There’s also little that Italy can do if the Allies decide to focus on your navy and take it out.  There is simply nothing that Italy can buy to prevent it.  I’d rather not risk losing that money on a sinking ship.  I focus on landing as much into Africa as I can before my navy gets whacked.  Hopefully that means I’m cashing in around Africa once that has happened.

Hey Incline,

I was in the same boat with AA50 and perhaps this might help.  Here’s a post that I posted on fieldmarshalgames.com forum site.

“Here is a folding game/poker table that I built for Axis & Allies. Quite a few hours and dollars to put together and it being my first table, I think it turned out pretty good! Now I don’t have AA50 but I did, with time and effort, make my own version. The map was printed to 28x48” (map was created by Imperious Leader that I downloaded from Gameboardgeek.com) and I even went as far to make the combat board, National production/research chart and the nation cards. I repainted the pieces so they match because I don’t have AA50 and had to mix pieces together to replicate it. I must say it turned out well and it was a lot of fun!"

Here is the link to the post as well for more pics.

Couldnt pass up the irony of the 8 year wait

Thanks, Craig

Thanks for the answer.  I can see it both ways, but I want to play the game correctly.

The 2 best are either Italy or Russia

Italy because they are the smallest and don’t have to deal with a lot of logistics

The Russkies because you can follow 1 simple strategy ( go all out on the fascists) and still do fairly well

Yes.

Shoot me an email at isfcco@hotmail.com and I’ll send you the most recent battlemap of AA50 (both setups.)  I don’t vouch for their complete accuracy yet, I still need to get a board! hehe

Thats not the only problem… the lines that separate the borders are not delineated well enough. Its hard to see in moderate light what is going on. Big mistake, but luckily my map makes that clear.
