A&A QUESTION?

For beginners, I’ve always liked A&A Europe the original.  It’s out of print, but still obtainable.  There’s even a copy for $25 on BBG!

It’s easy to play, dramatic, and not too long. It teaches the basics of game play without getting too bogged down in technical rules.

Consider it!

AA41 all the way or if you have an old copy of classic try that.

Imperious Leader is right.  The rules of A&A have evolved over the years, but each game was designed to work with the rules that existed at the time.  You can always experiment with using the new rules on older games, but the result may not be balanced properly.

Thank you!

Hallo –

I’m looking for a good source for Revell & ESCI 1/72 figures.  I’m in need of a box of Japanese infantry (e.g., preferably Revell #02507 or ESCI #204).  Does anyone know of a good online store that would carry these?  I’ve searched many, but few actually have them.

Thanks in advance,

Hey,

I agree with you guys revised is the way to go; however, I had one buddy who just didn’t grasp the concepts until he started DDay. So I would have to say it depends on the person also.

The only thing I can think of that made DDay easy to start with is all the idiot cards tell you what to do in order. But for the most part I stick with revised

Lost Tribe 04

OK, only 2 version have the entire world on the map:  “Classic”, which is usually second edition, but also includes the rather rare 1st edition, and the Hasbor CD-Rom game (also called 3rd edition) and “Revised”

If you game includes the units Artillery and Destroyers, you have Revised.
If your game says “Milton Bradley” on the box, you have Classic
If the starting income is:  R 24;  G  32;  UK 30;  J 25; USA 36 you ahve Classic
If startign income is R 24; G40; UK 30; J30; USA 42 you have Revised

The following works if you play the board game w/real dice…
You might check the dice immediately before you roll and after your opponent rolls every time. This way you catch loaded dice and have a good gaming habit that only adds a minute or two to each turn turn.
