Need help with files

Larry Harris wrote some great “Reports from the front” last year before A&A1914 was released. They helped me very much to learn and understand the specific rules and settings of the new game.

My question is, are there any similar reports for A&A classic or A&A50? Maybe somebody else did write this kind of reports with detailed actions?

Thanks!

Bill, if your still out there, here’s some basic info.  (Sorry no one bothered to respond earlier, I just recently registered here myself.)

If your talking about the 1998 A&A CD which uses 2nd & 3rd editions rules, you are in luck.  A couple other web sites are better geared toward that format.  I believe this site is used by predominantly gamers utilizing the board game via face-to-face (F2F), play by forum (PBF) and play by email (PBEM).

AAWC.org & ewarzone.com both have a patch you can download.  _Plonitus & aqrit have done a ton of work over there to keep the '98 CD alive.  War Zone also is a game host site to play it online.

There are oodles more A&A options out there, just not so much for the '98 CD players.  As you may have noticed, there is a plethora of mutations of A&A games on the market now with lots of different scenarios, rules variations, etc. giving folks lots of flavors to choose from.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, I didn’t even touch on the A&A Iron Blitz or A&A RTS CDs.

what are these files?

@LT04:

I love this topic but I have a quick question…

Why doesn’t the math work both ways?  What I mean by that is if you steepen the curve with your attack hits to get the “average” hits instead of the “expected” hits why doesn’t the same rule apply when calculating the enemy defense hits?

That would make your estimate a lot more conservative.

I does do the same with defense hits. It is just that in the scenario he mentioned there was only 1 unit so the odds are simple - 33%. If there were more units in defense you would have to do the same thing. However, generally there are more attacking units than defending units, because the attacker would not do a battle that he would lose. So, this makes the number of hits the defender gets roughly the average since the attacker almost always has => the defender units.

ok thanx. ill wait . im looking forward to playing

thnx ncs:  i went to the 2nd site & i downloaded what i had to ( not very computer literate sorry).  so how do i start a game w/ others or join in 1?

thanks
