Re: Converting images for A&A Mini Modules

Its a great ruleset and some pretty nice miniatures. It ran for 7 years and went through 10 expansions before going out of production. There is still lots of the AAM stuff on eBay and etc

As you can see nobody here is interested discussing the miniature game. Join this forum and find out anything you want to know about the miniatures game https://forumini.boards.net/

We also have a really cool Army Builder and search engine for the game here, http://www.aamcardbase.com/search_AAM.aspx

@spideyfan:

so just to be clear, Do the units of the various sets overlap? is there a chance for example that I get a booster for early war and i get a unit that is also in another booster pack like the desert one of the 39-45 one?

Yes you are correct. For example the Morris Armored car is in both Early war and NA. You can review sets here: http://www.tintirinti.com/search_AAM.aspx

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.

Most cards that come with the units for both versions (1 & 2) have been revised.  Print the revised cards and everthing is playable together.

A good amount of units from version 1 have been re-released in version 2.  There was no scale for vehicles in V1, some units are almost the same as V2, some are wayyyyyy smaller.

V2 has bigger hexes to hold the larger size vehicles but both version’s maps work.

There are several different rules, I suggest to print the new ones, they are alot different.

Generalyk - I designed the game you speak of.  What do you want to know?

Rangers are strong competitive piece, though unless they get new (non-improved) indirect fire units the Spotter SA is mostly just thematic.

(Edit)Here’s my full review:

As the opening salvo says, “its inevitable that it will be compared to the Axis workhorse, the SS-Panzergrenadiers.” Quite true, though thankfully the Rangers have enough differences to keep them from being just carbon-copies.

The Lead the Way SA is interesting in that it’s once per turn, not per phase (or during movement and/or assault), so be careful when you use it; unless it’s to grab a last minute objective, re-rolling a movement roll isn’t too important, though thematically it’s nice.

Spotter is again nice, if not too useful. The M1 81mm Mortar doesn’t need a spotter, nor do spotters enhance them, and the open back M7 105mm Priest is an easily neutralized unit. I suppose you could save 1 point and use the Russian mortars instead if you really wanted to. Also, lacking the Spotter SA they can’t enhance aircraft.

The Rangers have slightly improved defence and a re-roll over the similar Veteran SMLE Riflemen; the only time the Australian unit is, well when you can’t take Rangers (eg Pre-1942 game). By themselves the Rangers are at the high end of 5 points, but compared to the Garand they perhaps should have been 6; as is they make the Garand fairly useless. Sure the Garands can have the same dice, without a re-roll, but that requires more points for an adjacent commander, and is -1/-1 defence.

A great unit that I’m sure will see a lot of use both in casual and competitive games: 4.5/5

In Toronto, ON, tournament games are played at 6:00 pm on thursdays at the Gamezclub (Coxwell & O’Conner)

As well, there’s usually a good number of players there on Saturday, and often Sunday.

is this contest still going on, or did it ever take place? i wouldnt mind throwing in some picturs for it if this thing ever gets going. let me know.
