Re: Converting images for A&A Mini Modules

Yea, that’s the hard part about boosters, you live and die by them…at least I do.

@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

I like both modes of travel but I’m a soldier.  My son joined the Navy instead.  I play both but I play the army game more!

@Audacity:

What kind of playing surface is this played on?  Is it very large hexes or does speed 2 mean a measurement like inches?

I’ve ordered a case to start with.

The maps use staggered square grids (effectively hexes).

I am going to have to try and make on of these…

Another idea is to only keep one of your cards in a binder… keep that one (also still in the sleeve) set organized in card pages.  This way, when you’re building an army for a game, you don’t have to thumb through your ten Shermans.  ;)

And I also use tackle-boxes.  If you’re THAT big of an A&A minis player, you could go out and get a bigger tackle box with multiple trays (and a place on the top to keep your card boxes, tiles, dice-bag, etc.  (about $30-50 at wal-mart)  Another alternative is a big ‘tool box’.  I got a plastic one from Wal Mart (I’m pretty sure… might’ve been a Military Exchange) for $20 on sale and then bought a bunch of trays to put in it (it can hold about eight trays).  Plano would be my suggestion for ‘normal’ tackleboxes (as they’re well priced, are durable… and that’s mostly what I’ve bought for my hobbies).  The backpack is something like a soft-pack that GW makes for Warhammer minis… but it is $100…

I also recently cut my ‘standard’ maps in half and put them in page protectors.  They’re pretty flat now, and aside the extra minute set-up time, I have no qualms with it!  It doesn’t work with the beach promo map (exactly), so I haven’t done that yet; and probably won’t.

So, I hope this helps someone!  :D

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.
