Pictures of the painted units for A&A Revised

Uh, it shows $135 on Amazon… not bad for sealed out of print. But yeah, I would buy 1942 and print one of IL’s maps to play on. The 1942 map is too small.

@Yoper:

I am especially interested in this simply because of how this will affect my use of it in the A&A tournament that I run.  Being that it is a timed event for the individual games, I am curious as to how the extra need for naval units will slow down the Allies in building up for their attack into Europe.

I’d say it can slow down the Allies from 1-3 turns. It really depends on how many naval and air units G has at the start of G2. It might be enough to sink the AC and 2 DDs that seems to be the regular UK buy for UK1, depending on where they are placed. It also depends if the US landed on Algeria on US1 or not and how Africa is going for the Allies.

@Mazer:

Hey LT04.

Close, but there is one odd exception: if your capital falls (say Moscow to Japan) and you take another capital (say Berlin to Russia) then Russia gets the money from the Germans and can spend it the next turn.

Very minor point, but I just wanted to note the oddity.  You can’t collect income in the collect income phase, but you can collect someone else’s income  :-D

Peace

@Krieghund:

Actually, in that case you do get the IPCs, but you can’t spend them until your capital is liberated.

Well you learn something new every day.  :-)

Or put in other terms,
who cares about those who’s only comments have some lame excuse blaming different ideas and trying to make a bogus illusion of connection of these ideas and players who don’t understand the game over and over again?

:-o
  Yes, my sons and I painted up two games worth of pieces of the classics set. And after looking at the Danish pieces, we did a much better job. We did get a few of those HO scale figures for specialty units, ( house rules) marines, mechanized infantry , artillary, and paratroops. But, I modified the bombers to trimotors for germans and twin engine for japan. Fingernail clippers work great for chopping off motors and trimming wing tips and tails. Don’t worrry about messing up, the Russians have exta that you can paint :wink:.
  I even converted some transports to look like destroyers, ( the old DD ships). Each nationality has a different configuration.
I also did a few mods on the tanks, but there wasn’t an easy way to make tem look exactly right, so I painted their battle flags over the top of the turrents. Same with the ships. I am really proud of how well we painted up the fighters though, the Japanese fighters with dab paint almost disapear in  FIC! All carrier planes have a light blue underbelly too.
The infantry are mounted on pennys, and sand was glued over the bases and painted light or dark browns, then we glued on a few specks of moss. the edge of the penny was then painted to match the nationality color. The figures look great on top of a stack of chips! And  the penny keeps them upright, even after the table takes a heavy bump, ( that is why I put them on pennys).
  Again, we painted up several as specialty units, Guards ,SS, Airborne, etc…
I know you requested pics, but I don’t have any closeups. So after I get done moving in the next couple of weeks I will shoot some and post them.
I also glued two each of the 5 different nationality markers on pennys for the National Production chart. The chart itself I trimmed to fit the lower right corner of the gameboard and glued it on. The battle board, which rarely gets used, still floats around loose, but I did contemplate gluing to the inside of the top of the box, may yet.

I have yet to purchase a revised edition game or any of the other AA games, though I have played them at tourneyments. I just don’t have the time to do all that painting right now. My boys have grown up and moved away, and my new wife keeps me busy with other things. Perhaps soon though I will bite the bullet and get myself the revised game.
    Now where did I store those paints? :roll:

National Advantages. NA’s. They are optional rules in the OOB rule book that give a different ability to certain units or make an exception to certain rules depending on the country. I haven’t really played with them but it is said that they add some variety to the game.
