Seeking AAM Newbie Game (MapView)

WotC - Wizards of the Coast (makers of AAM)

FoW, WotC, Old Glory, Peter Pig, Plastic Soldier company, Skytrex, Zvesda and Gaming models all make 15mm WWII miniatures……and Ive built them all.

Use a lot of the same units.  Whenever I play, I give one player like 10 shermans if he is the us.  or 10 panzer IVs if he is germany.  It helps because you have less cards to look at for the movements and attacks.  If you cut out air, that shortens it too.

@Motdc:

The starter is not meant, unfortunately, to be a stand-alone game.  You must buy at least a few more booster packs to get a good mix of units to mix-n-match a decent army together.

That’s exactly it. You’ll need probably 4 or more boosters to make the starter actually enjoyable. Anything less than 100 point battles just aren’t fun.

@Shemar:

Just my luck as I just started getting into the game. I have not found anybody to play in my area with the physical minis yet.

What area?

Yeah I posted on the Avalon Hill site that the search was broken.  I too searched on Tank Destroyer and found nothing.  But if your “Search” with no criteria it shows everything which is good at least.

could u list them and price

@surfdog:

i palyed a few games on the plastic maps and got tired of it, i wanted a 3d game board i took a 3x6 piece of plywood cut it in half and covered it with dark green felt, i decided on 4" hexagons,

Word, that’s the route I’m going on. I hope to have a hexed battleboard ASAP, and there’s a TON of 15mm WWII terrain out there on the net. I’ll just nab some of that. The mats the game comes with are OK to learn on, but to perpetually game on these drab, flat maps that have roads mostly going on one direction… blegh.
