AAM Vers. 1 Booster Cases Anywhere?

Also, north africa is good and Eastern front gives you a lot of powerful German and Russian units but not a lot of other factions. ( Sorry for the double post).

Just to let people know - I have created several sets of maps and new rules for use with the AAM 1.0 minis. I will post more on this and the Variant Rules forum when they are ready.

The first sets will be for North Africa and War in Europe Sets. Maps for Pacific Theatre and Alpine are also in the works. So you wont have to pitch all of your minis. There is a use for them, and even WTF or Cando minis can be mixed with them.

I have also created new rules and 400 new unit cards for Italy, Japan, Finland, France, England, and of course German and American.

i found the limited AAM rules…. its a starter and a booster or 2 boosters played with 1 army of 80 points. <<< official from wizards >>>

my thoughts about this…

you are getting 18 pieces totally random. appr. 9 axis and 9 allied pieces. building an 80 point army. if you pull a 30-40 point rare tank awesome… but what happens if you pull a 50-65 point tank… you almost can’t use it. and what if you get the pieces i consider “time and place pieces” that have uses, but not every day army usues… it just seems it could get too unbalanced too quickly with only 2 boosters totally random.

however i am thinking 3 boosters drafted instead of random gives you more options… i would prolly suggest 100 point army or true tournament style with 2 different 80 point armies. with the draft you could either draft heavy axis or heavy allied with 1 army or if doing 2 armies makes you select the best piece from the box. it takes some of the randomness of opening out of the picture. then if you pull that 50+ tank you could be more inclined to take a good UNC instead and hope that you are getting passed a 30ish tank that the next player didnt need for his army.

honestly there is so much that you could do… and withing the next 2 weeks I will be doing this… will post all rules and results after then.

what we do know… it will be 4 players with prolly 3 (maybe 4 if we have lots of time) boosters choosing (1x reserves, 1x d-day, 1xcontested skies) or we could sub in a set II or base set as we will be doing the 10 pack to save money and give most variety.

Well it also depends what country you are wanting to collect.

If collecting:

USSR: Buy either a set II or a set III.  Set I has 2 good soviet tanks but thats about it.  Id recommend you just buy those online or trade.

UK:  Buy either set I or set IV.  Lots of goodies for the UK in those.  There are 2 good rares in set II but I just recommend you to buyem online or trade.

Japan:  Set I and set II is the way to go for Japan.  Set IV only has the Honor Bound hero.  Buy that one online, im sure hes only like 75 cents.  :wink:

Germany and US:  Just buy any freakin set!!  They all have lots of good German and American units.  :-D

If you are looking to collect whole sets like my friend Sol….then just buy a whole case of any set.  Simple as that.  :-P

(I think I may not have mentioned the alternatives for Covering Fire - so one was that instead of not being able to shoot, the target was also immediately disrupted if hit).

You are right about the 88 though. At the very best for playability it should have Relocate 1. However I don’t think it really needs to move either especially now that they’ve changed the transport/overstacking rule.

I bought a case of Set II when it came out; I’m a regular at a store here in Hampton Roads, and the owner allowed me to reserve a case, so I just went and picked it up when the set premiered.

Hey, that’s a good idea, geno!  8-)
