Here’s a good idea, buy a starter set so you can get maps and counters. Download and print the revised cards (most of the cards that come with the minis have been revised). Print the current rules and give it a shot without using any actual units. Gameplay is 1 hour time limit… at least you’ll get a couple of games played in one night.
A&A minis in iPhone App Store
-
I just downloaded a free iPhone/iPod Touch app that has all of the A&A mini cards in it. You can create armies by sets or nations and keep those cards in there at hand to check out the stats as you play. I know you keep all the cards when you play, but I always feel cluttered with all those cards and keeping track of them, too. I am new though.
Anyway, its in the App store as A&AM. Just a little FYI

The only problem I see with this is you have to add a hundreds-of-dollars iPhone obssession to your hundreds-of-dollars A&A Minitaures obsession to make it work :-D

Good call. I ended up buying my iPhone last year when it was mucho dollars. I used money from a huge eBay auction I sold. Then, a month later, iPhones dropped $200. DANGIT! Of course, back then, I wasn’t introduced to A&A.
