New players some stuff

@domanmacgee

I used to play this version often some time ago… I might remember wrong but I think Germany is strong enough to take down Russia alone some times, just because Germany is so strong at the beginning and sometimes one less than average dice result would kill Russia early. It doesn’t mean Allies can’t hold but it’s tough the first 8 rounds for Allies. Once passed this threshold the chance of Allies victory improves over time typically…

Here are some new setup cards that I think ended up better than the original cards that came with the game. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

For those who do not know, There were errors with the IPC values on some of the cards. I got tired of trying to remember which ones, so I created new cards. Here they are. They are slightly larger than the original by .25 inch.

If you find any errors let me know, at least I’ll fix mine. :grin:

Greeting from HK player…  Enjoy the new set up and let us know what you think…

MarineIguana, it sounds like you play very much the way I do. I’d love to see how I’d fare against you. Would you care to try a Triple A game and put that streak to the test? We could make it a live game, a forum game or a PBEM game, as you prefer.

Try picking up this one if you can - newer version, newer rules, and prices have stayed pretty low on Amazon etc.

Funny blog and cool photos.  :-) I like the coloured units, lots of original colour on them - helps to differentiate them, very clever.

I always play a new A&A game the same way. First time through I play the new game as the old rules with a new setup and a new unit or 2. Second time I read the rulebook first and play through checking the rulebook on every move as I go. Takes forever but I normally only do this for 4-5 rounds. Third game is playing the game start to finish trying to remember the rules without checking the rulebook but if I have to then oh well. All 3 of these games are a me vs. me games just to learn the rules.

This learning tactic is what made Battle of the Bulge and D-day such a pain in the ass to learn.

@Cow:

well yeah, the beta for trip a takes awhile, because of new rules etc. takes time.

Actually I heard it’s already playable, the only issues remaining are graphic and some missing territory connections.

I think it is called… v5?
