Seeking AAM Newbie Game (MapView)

@RoManXJ9:

Hi all,

Chris Williams, the sales and marketing manager from 1A Games here; we assumed production of TOI from FFG this past year.

Yes, we are trying to fix some of the issues with the older Big Box edition; notably imbalances in the scenarios. If you have any questions, I’m here on the site now, so feel free to ask.

Thanks!

ps - yes, please be part of TOI’s future (I’d say more, but don’t want to offend anyone or be accused of soliciting or spamming)

I haven’t played but own the main game and expansions. It’s been a time issue but the game looks good and can’t wait to get a session in.

I saw your post sitting so long I registered to give you a few pointers on maps. Most if not all the WotC map packs are themed in some way. Originally they were 2" hexes but were changed some time ago. The map packs you mentioned are themed as follows: North Africa - 3 Desert maps and on reverse side 3 jungle maps. Eastern Front - 3 town/factory maps and on the reverse side 3 Russian steppes maps. There are two starters, the one in the cardboard box is the old one and contains 12mm mini’s and 2" hex maps. the new starter is in a blister pack and has 15mm mini’s and 3" hex maps. The maps in the new starter are mixed forest/hills/clear. The rules and revised cards are downloadable through the WotC site.

I started this summer with a starter pack. Then I bought some boosters (39-45), but now I’m buying on Ebay.
This way you combine your own army,depending on the side you want to play.

Maybe Motdc’s map program will help a lot in this kind of game.  :wink:

We just need one or two test games going and then I can continue work on it!

Well damn……no one wants to play against me.  I suppose I can play a test game by myself.  :wink:

Thats what I thought, but I think it was worth asking.

Understood on 100 point armor builds but the year makes a huge difference.  Is this just in general, or are you building for a specific scenario?

Your initial question is a 100point armor build viable for the germans?  Just an opinion but, Yes. On earlier scenarios as you go up it will get harder and you will have to be more creative lets say 1943 and up (the allies just have good cheap stuff).  The 35 pt Panther(1942 I think) a brummbar(1943) and a Hetzer(1944) are all good.  The Brummbar is priceless against infantry and is fairly cheap 22.

All the boxes from booster1 were like this.  Really easy to open and reglue.  Thats why the changed it int booster2.

As long as you cards are still sealed in the platic bag you are OK.  But it was really easy for “bad” people to open a box to see what was inside. If they didn’t like… just heat the glue a litte and reclose the box

I guess wizards took the decision purely on low cost… cheap bastards !!
