Re: Converting images for A&A Mini Modules

Nice, if your posting over there, direct them to a better place :wink:

@Audacity:

The way I understand it and play it is to pay for each model you have once.

So a carrier with two flights of aircraft is carrier cost + plane cost + plane cost = total. Its no different than having three destroyers are paying a cost for each one.

@Admiral:

What confuses me is this reference on page 11 of the advanced rules under Fleet Construction Etiquette:  “Carriers and their Aircraft squadrons can attack enemy units anywhere on the battle map, but you’ll have to pay for them twice:  once for the Carrier, and once for each squadron you assign to it.”  :?

It is a case of poor wording.  I suspect what they were trying to say is that to use planes, you have to pay for both the planes and the carrier, you do not get the planes with the carrier.  If you still need help, post the question over on the Avalon Hill boards under naval miniatures.

Both of these answers coincide with my understanding.

Yes. We could try playing out scenarios here in the boards but the games might take too long.

The rest of Sols minis came today, and we started playing.  It was kinda diffilcult to understand at first, but after awhile it was easy.  We played 2 matches in which I lost both.  :lol: I had a good setup, it was just the way I commanded my units that made me lose.  Oh well, I learned from my mistakes.  Anyways, he got some pretty good rare pieces, which I think he will post later.  :wink:

Excellent question.  I do not have any historical evidence of widespread tank vs. tank ramming, and I don’t really expect that it went on.  I included the rule more for sake of gameplay with non-armored vehicles (jeeps, halftracks, etc.) The rule represents a sort of last ditch option available to a player with nothing left but jeeps who is trying to face down a tank.  I’ve people ask to be able to ram on a number of occasions, so I decided to come up with a rule for it.  The attack itself is pretty anemic (need 6’s to hit) so I can’t think of why a tank would ever choose to ram another vehicle instead of using it’s short/medium range armor attack roll instead.  Now a jeep, on the other hand, really wouldn’t have any other attack against a light tank.  With the ram you might be able to damage a tank, but you are certainly going to destroy your jeep trying.  Let me know if you end up using the rule and if it works for you or not.

@GrogNerd:

I like it and plan to refer to it often as I am building my collection. Other than EBay, what sites are you using to gather the data?

Mostly eBay and one online store. As more online stores offer A&A Mini singles I’ll add them to the formula.

A couple of things to consider:

1. Price does not include shipping.
2. Commons and Uncommons are usually sold in groups of 2 or more. So the individual price is based on the average price of a single miniature.
3. The average prices are based on closed auctions within the past 7 days.

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.
