How many troops are represented by an Infantry unit

@jim010

@barnee said in How much complexity do you want in your Axis games?:

I prefer a base game with a lot of optional rules or scenarios or both.

yea, so the base game would acomplish what Roger prefers and the optional rules and scenarios would be for people who want a more in depth game.

It does both.

Here is a Facebook group for Australian fans of Axis and Allies: www.facebook.com/groups/axisandalliesaustralia

Round Five: Red moves C & 1 trooper from 1VP island, to undefended Blue 2 VP Island. Had built 6 troopers for NP Base. Still has 10 troopers at Red base gathering dust.
Blue moves 8 troopers from Apogee Base towards NP base, Blue Jet attacks Red C off Red 2 VP island hex, C is destroyed. Jet lands on ice hex. Still has 7 Troopers at Blue Base, never seen any combat. Had built a C at Blue Base, seven Troopers at Apogee Base.
Black moves 7 troopers to ice hex( that already has two troopers) and flies in Rattler from Black base. Also retreats trooper back into NP base. Builds 6 troopers for NP base.
White moves 6 Troopers from White 1 VP hex, and, another 3 Troopers are following those Troopers(using special ability). Cannot wait for more infantry, 9 Troopers attack NP Base. Versus 10 defending troopers(1 is Black) and Red Rattler. Losses all White and 1 Black & 4 Red troopers.
Meanwhile 3 more Troopers arrive at ice hex and another 3 arrive from Blue 1 VP hex, from N. Greenland.
Finally at White Base C fail to destroy ice hex, so it lands 2 Troopers on it, along with 7 more Troopers attacking(using special movement ability) & fighter from White Base. Versus 9 Black troopers and a Rattler. The ice hex is captured, all Black wiped out, for a lost of 6 White Troopers. Had built for White Base 4 Troopers and 5 troopers for Apogee Base.

I am interested in pre-ordering AA Stalingrad but I’ve never pre-ordered any game before. I know it’s coming out in August this year, when is typically the best time to pre-order to get the lowest price? Obviously there is a little guesswork here but based on what was done for North Africa and other AA games, when would be the likely best time to pre-order to get the best price and from what sites? The best I could see was $64 but I saw someone say they pre-ordered for $44.

@Matt-Hyra Alright, Thank you for letting me know!

Some useful charts and comparisons for the including components, between the various versions of the Axis & Allies boardgame. It is about the number of units, their capabilities and their type names. In the following link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0kgpp74n68fiew8/A%26A Comparisons.pdf?dl=0

Model Scales:
SOLDIERS: 1/72
TANKS: 1/285
AIRPLANES: 1/900 or larger (2cm for fighters and 4cm for bombers)
SHIPS: 1/4800 to 1/2400
(Νote that as the denominator number increases, the model becomes smaller. That is, a 1/4800 scale model is smaller than a 1/2400 scale model)

@captainwalker
Thanks Captain! I had a brief Y2K flashback of “saving space in software by not using 4 digits for the year.” Hopefully our great grandkids will roll their eyes and have a chukle when they have to post L2125 for their games! :-P
