Longest game ever

Hello, Krieghund!

I didn’t realize that transports couldn’t be destroyed in amphibious assaults with no sea combat. That information actually saves me a lot of IPC each turn, since I thought I needed to buy three new transports every turn when offloading units from the transport during an amphibious assault in the previous turn.

Thanks for all of the detailed information. This should help make the next game I have with my cousins more challenging for them!

Hi All,

I am new to the forums, but have been playing Axis for a few years with a best mate.
We started in 2007 with revised, then Spring 42, now SE. We still play Spring '42.

I have my own version of Spring 1942 that I scanned and photoshopped.
It printed really nicely at about 1.5m * 0.75m, so about 50% bigger in both dimensions.
I had it printed professionally and laminated in a matt finish.

I can’t post links, so PM me if you are interested to see my big game board.

Cheers!

Yes, the AA50 sub rules are a bit muddled, but the FAQ helps immensely.

There are no official rules on undoing a mistake, so you’ll have to work that out with your opponent.  However, many on-line clubs have procedures for such situations.  Maybe one of their members will suggest something here.

By the way, this is the AA42 forum, so questions about AA50 are off-topic here.  Please post further AA50 questions in the appropriate forum.  Thanks.

I’ll save my next game, as soon as the server is back online. :)

I can host a game if anyone is interested

@Krieghund:

The setup chart on page 6 shows that each power receives a number of IPCs with which to start the game.  This number also happens to be that power’s initial income level.

Ah, I always thought that meant what your starting production capability, not on hand cash.  I read a rule saying the the capability is the same as your “starting ipc’s” so I guess you do in fact start with money.  Thanks everyone for your time!

@aaaaaa2011:

Colors are too dark

Wait, wait, wait. AA1942 is too dark ? Then you must have a 500 W lightbulb to see anything at Revised.

Don’t you like being Darth Fury?  :?

Anyways . . . it’s too late.  :evil:

Bwaaaaa hahahaha hahhahah  :lol:

nice game.

had my first game of 42, was the axis.  Did the Bomber buy 1st round, scared the UK with the new sub rules as the baltic fleet moved into the Atlantic.  Scared the US away till turn 3 from landing in Africa and was able to combine on turn 2.  Pulled back Japan’s navy, killed the Indian fleet, then turned back on the US Fleet.  On turn 4 I was able to destroy both US fleets in the Pacific and Atlantic and took Australia.  A few Allied troops in Africa and had left India’s IC alone except for buffering around it.  Turned on Russia through China and after suckering the allies into throwing everything at Caucaus after i left most of the German army out to dry there, 2 Jap tanks were able to blitz from Sinkiang to take Moscow.  Allies gave up as the Axis ruled all but the North Sea.  Not too wacky of dice, save the loss of my German SBR bombers over Moscow.  
 I haven’t played AA50 much, but I am lovin’ the naval rules applied here!

gotta admit too that those new Russian ship sculpts are absolutely beautiful…sitting in the box never being used.
