AA50 National Advantages

Does it work 4 global

Please make them available as playing cards…check out Artscow which can make them for like $8 bucks a deck. Also not fond of the Italian roundel, I would use the same roundel that the game uses for the backs of playing cards…

Awesome cards Dagon, was going to print up a test run set.

Great job with the cards. I have read this thread before but I haven’t been able to play AA50 in months and to try those out. There are a few ones that bother me a bit though because I think they are too powerful:

@Dagon81:

U.S. Advantages:

� Superfortresses � Your bombers are immune to antiaircraft fire. An enemy antiaircraft gun can roll one die against only each attacking fighter. (If no fighters are in the attacking force, the antiaircraft gun cannot fire). When conducting strategic bombing raids your bombers have a defense value of 1.

This means basically that the US can simply apply a bombing strategy against Germany/Italy to defeat it. I always dislike this because of how it can turn the game into a bombing strategy.

� Escort Cruisers � Your cruisers act as sea AA guns. Before battle roll 1 die if you have at least one cruiser in the hostile sea zone.

I assume 1 die per plane, which essentialy gives the US a huge advantage over Japan on the Pacific by increasing its defense against Japan’s planes.

@Dagon81:

The superfortresses may be intercepted by fighters, using my rules, you may defend a bombing raid if you have at least 1 fighter and an operational airbase in that territory.

As to the escort cruisers, so far, it hasn’t proved to be a too powerful advantage, but if so, you may roll only one dice for each cruiser.

Fair enough for the Superfortresses.

Just the prospect of having to face the AA roll for all planes is a big disadvantage for Japan because it will become a highly risky affair to attack a US fleet with planes. Since the goal of the US on the Pacific is to advance this gives them a big advantage over Japan.

Links no workie :(

Wow these are great :-D, I wish I had AA50 to play so I could use these cards  :-(

any chance to repost the cards

Bummer, was really looking forward to these - links not linked… errr, dysfunctional. Isn’t there anyway to get a hold of these files so that a person might print them out on their own?  Better yet - modify the text? For a couple reasons - I’d like to use my own particular paper/card stock, everyone has their own particular house rules and certain cards will not work with them - so I wouldn’t bother printing them unless they can be altered to fit, and cost - DIY is always cheaper.

I would just use the cards you want to use. Either way they look great and would love to download them and give it a try.

They do look awesome.

Nice work thanks, the dropbox files are still available! I have downloaded them all, now I have to find a way to print these in a decent way. Any tips?
