I bet they play those silly Kremlin, Utah, Juno, etc versions :-D that nobody plays since 1998 MSN game zone days…

Hahaha I’m pretty sure they do.

They are a backward bunch… when I posted the first X-DAP tourney (2012),  I went to their site and invited them to play in it, another A&A community, I thought it would be good to bridge the gap and expand our communities!

I got insta and perma banned, and my thread deleted.  For daring to post a “for cash” tourney, which is a “forbidden act”.

Good job Cow for showing them what for, and good to see you back here.

Good stuff, more of this from you two guys PLEASE!.

@Imperious:

The supporting cast basically didn’t show up. I don’t like the substitutions. For example, why not play Greg Ogden? The whole point was to have a big man and he just sat on the bench. Also, they didn’t really play Haslem till the end and they broke the confidence of Chalmers. He never played this poorly ever.

Big men wouldn’t have helped outside shooting, which is what killed the Heat - best FG% in any finals in history, nearly 50% from 3 as a team.

They need to trade for a PG, get rid of Wade.

Not sure what happened with Chalmers, but he was terrible.  Cole would have been a better start.

Need a real center, not Anderson

Need a bench more than they need a center.  But that’s where they took cuts to sign the Big 3.

Run more plays for Bosh

Maybe in the 1st game - after that he caught the Wade flu.

Yes sir! But im afraid he’s just a puppet of sorts. The last guy i found out got fired because some of their fantasy RPG noob games dropped in sales. This will have little impact on AH because its still a company sitting on the back burner. Nobody is pushing Avalon Hill to success. All these people are all minimalists doing the least amount of work as possible. No marketing whatsoever is going on except for a few perfunctory “news releases” ,No print media advertisement , no forum support, no special online demos, nothing but crickets. Its a joke and they should all be ashamed.

I will always stand by my view that WOTC is slowly destroying Avalon Hill by neglect. The decision making on what is being produced is not following any overall plan and its got a few titles being circulated from past fortunes made, but no new ideas and the few new ideas that come out are not based on any feedback from the consumer. Making Diplomacy is a mistake along with Acquire. These games are not bringing new people into the hobby as the people who play them already have all the different versions. Diplomacy Deluxe is still the best version ever made san the original Key games version with the larger board.

They should embrace the titles from the heyday: Stalingrad, Afrika Corps, Anzio, Luftwaffe, France 40, rail baron, D-Day, Russian Campaign, Midway, etc… Make these games and bring back The General magazine. You can make these games with pieces, blocks, or counters. All these ideas and they decide on “Acquire”? you gotta be kidding me or what?

In my youth I experimented a LOT with models and live fire.  Bottle rockets were a popular choice, as was all of the black powder and high grade powder that I had access to because of muzzle loaders and shotgun shell reloading.

Problem with live-fire models:
Bottle Rocket exhaust instantly ignites LARGE areas of plastic models
Even modest amounts of black powder rupture plastic model gun barrels

I burned up a LOT of models…  :mrgreen:

Right now I’m mostly into it as a way of finding old friends, since I’m still new to it. I expect that after a while I will be less keen. It is a nice way to stay in touch socially though, better than e-mail I think.

I think Facebook has more privacy control than MySpace - and it’s a lot prettier.

nope I cheated… Cut and Paste don’t have time to join their groupies… If only El Jefe, If only… :wink:
