Battlemap for aa50?

FYI I tried to register for MARTI dice server with gmail this week and it no longer works. protonmail seems to work well.

@Bjergmose:

Is the defender able to scramble ftr to counter the recon?

Do you use ftr and/or bmb to recon?

If you recon can your airplanes still perform combat moves?

Would like to play…but not exactly in the neighbourhood :-)

No ftr scramble.  If you have AA in the area, you can use it.

Yes.  They can be used in Combat moves.

@General:

Recon?

So you dont set the game up at the start?

I still dont get it.

Yes.  You setup up the game in the beginning per the rules.  Obviously recon is not needed on Germany 1st move or Russia first move if you are playing 1942 scenario.

You actually setup 2 game boards with ALL the pieces.  One side is the Axis and one is the Allies.

@SilverAngelSurfer:

So you can recon any adjacent territories whenever you want, or is there a limited number of recons per turn?  And to recon more distant territories you need to do an aerial recon which has a chance of failure…  Quite interesting.  I take it you need one map for the axis and one map for the allies?  Sounds like a cross between A&A and Battleship, if I’m getting this right.  :mrgreen:

I guess you would call it a cross.  Never thought of it that way…

Each country is allowed to recon before it combat move.  Ground recon 1st and then Air.

@Tarling:

I think this link should help. I assume it uses something similar, although I have not had the opportunity to play this variant. Seems quite fun though!!

I like this.  We have never used the last rule but that sounds pretty interesting.  Propaganda.

I have an AA50 for sale. It has been played a few times but is still in excellent condition. If anyone is interested send me a message with an offer and the highest offer by 02/05/10 will get it along with the full set of Combat Dice from FMG. I also have a copy of 2nd edition, Revised, Europe, the original Pacific game, and Battle of the Bulge available for sale. Message me on those as well. I am keeping AAP40 and AA42. Thanks.

@bugoo:

How would the odds fall with 3 subs 1 bomber?

Now that was a depravity line of thinking. Imagine Eisenhower abort D-day 1944 because the odds was not good enough. We would all be speaking german now. If you want to win games, you need to strenghten your fighting spirit and breed more aggression. Peacekeepers dont win wars, you know that, now do you ? Butt enough talk. Now you better gimme a + karma and help me reach the magic 800 before Frog.

good luck with 800, but i’ll support :)

or worse, we would be speaking russian!

3 hours for a game of Axis and Allies?  lol

Expect at least 4-5 hours, plus setup time.  Some of the variants are only about 3 hours or less, though.

Cool program!  I’ll try it out the next time I’m with friends.

There is a thread in the Find Players and Game Discussion section for people looking for AA50 games.

Snap! i love man i am running out of ideas noooooooo….

Must think so these tokens can keep coming um…

umm…    General tokens!  I have thought for like 15 minutes of this and this would kick some butt
