Axis & Allies .org 2024 Support Drive

Hi djensen,

As an update: after e-mails from my home e-mail, work e-mail and PMs on the forum, I have now received a reply from FMG. The items have now been declared ‘presumed lost’ and it has been clarified that I won’t be receiving them due to the expense of sending replacements.

As stated though, FMG were great to deal with early on, and the dice sets and IPC certificates I did receive are great products.

Now that communications have been re-established, the purpose of this thread had been achieved, so I will finish this thread off. I will, however, place a post in the ‘Axis & Allies Marketplace’ [edit] in case anyone else is concerned about having ‘bad luck’, as it does appear items going astray and breakdowns in communication have occurred before.

In no way though am I suggesting that anyone should not order from FMG, just that it may pay to be aware of some potential issues, which may or may not occur for other individuals.

Thankyou again for your time and assistance, and for the great articles and support for players of our favourite game.

Happy gaming!
Cheers,
Ian.

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.

Okay, I think we can nail down the exact release date of the original NOVA Axis and Allies edition to July 3, 1981, as it debuted at the Origins Game Fair in 1981 and the dates for the Origins Game Fair can be found here:

Thank you

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.

I would, but I am in England.
Thank you anyway.
