Need Worthy Opponents for ABattle Map Revised

OK
Thanks for info… I was really wondering why people was spamming us if we had any revised edition left for sale.
We have sold 4 times the amount of The enlarged gameboard for use with revised edition 2004 so far in 2010 than in 2009.

yeah i agree your plan has some built in flexibility.  carrier + tran build in sz 61 is perfectly safe once you’ve taken out the UK ships.

On the other hand, the UK factory is basically gonna be in great shape given that carrier build and no IC’s.  Correct response of US hitting the atlantic hard and India holding up japan for a long time should make for a pretty easy allies win.  I really don’t think spending $16 on a carrier and getting only 1 transport to support additional land operations on R1 before the US has played its hand is a serious option as japan.  You may not enjoy protecting an IC in kwangtung but it’s far easier than protecting that one transport you built.

Well I just follow the manual :p? Didn’t they try to balance it out?

IMO it is fairly balanced for casual or novice players but as player skill level increases allies will have the advantage to the point that a decent axis bid is required for expert players to balance the sides.

I think if you adjust your strategy to purchase infantry and other units rather than just tanks and fighter planes you should find your games a lot more balanced.  Also, the key for the allies is that they have to work together for a common goal like all 3 focus on Germany.  You should start thinking along the lines of if you make a move with England, how can you back the move up with the US before Germany has a chance to go.

Then that will be fine for now :). For me it’s not just playing the game, it’s playing the game with friend(s).

Well it worked didn’t it? I was axis in the game I described ;).

I tried it and the territories were noticably different and the costs of units was different.  I think it was some half-way point between Axis and Allies and Axis and Allies revised.

:-)

Ah, I knew i needed an NA expert on that one :-)

So there is NO exception to the combat territory rule then.  Thank you.

Y’ like that? Here’s another I just printed for a customer…

I’m betting your going to all recognise this one…

The map from the other thread that people are are going on about…

The detail turned out pretty well considering this was from a bit image as opposed to a vector image.

36 x 75 inches.

So, how does one play on this map? How are the rules different and how is it initially setup? And, what are these convoy boxes? I’m completly out of the loop on this thing.

Is the guy that created this still around?

Wait a sec. I can’t make an image show up here?
