You can also use the Battle Calculator from inside TripleA.

@Imperious-Leader I think it’s semi-officially Classic. The A&A Wikipedia mentions it and I think it references the Larry Harris Game Design site.

Imperious Leader(or whomever),

It sounds to me like it will end up where this site won’t have to pay the taxes mentioned above.

However,…whenever you have your fund-raising for the 2012 season, I’ll be glad to donate $50.00 for a Gold Patron membership.  I get many times that much enjoyment out of this forum and would be glad to give a little back.  Thanks Again.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if they made a game called “Contested Skies” that incorporated every fighter and bomber of the time and focused on the air war? Of course they would have to make the European & Pacific theater seperate games.

Perhaps a game focusing on “The Battle of Britain” as well. You would have to incorporate strategic bombing to civilian, military and industrial targets into the game. This would work great in my opinion with the European air war, considering it was stratigic bombing and air supperiority the Allies had to establish before they could successfully invade fortress Europe.

Being an aircraft buff, it would be awesome to see a game like this take form with detalied and painted miniatures to symbolize fighter wings. Small, clear plastic stands would be amazing to symbolize if your fighters were in the air or landed and vulnerable to attack at airfields. I would imagine flak gun rules would have to be thought out as well in great detail. The germans fighter pilots, when desperate would attack, flying through their own flak and even ramming bombers.

Any thoughts, opinions or ideas on a game like this? I think it would be a big hit. Especially if the planes were painted and aesthetically pleasing.

Hi all!

Here I’m presenting to you the FIRST Italian web Forum entirely dedicated to our favourite game: Axis & Allies Italia Forum

Everyone’s invited. Thank you for the attention.  :mrgreen:

@rjclayton:

What are the differences between 3rd and 2nd Editions?

If you are familiar with the 1998 CD version, that is the start of 3rd edition (or had 3rd edition options).

Some changes are, submerging retreating subs, air units can retreat from amphib assualts, Wcan no longer boarders the Atlantic.

2 hit BBs were introduced, although I think that was just and extra option.
Always active AA’s, I think just another option.

@cyan:

what happened to 1st edition?

I’m not too familiar with 1st edition, it was before my time.  I started playing in the mid 80’s and it was already 2nd edition.

From my understanding 1st edition had some different multinational rules (possibly attacking) and new IC’s had no production cap.  So a common strat would be UK build and IC on Per and just strat pumping out units.
