Djensen's mini auction of AA50

What does AA50 1939 mean?

I thought the AA1939 meant using the 1940 editions for all the pieces not AA50?

Thanks for sharing the info on the Bob Semple tank, that was a fun little piece of trivia to learn about!  I guess it was an attempt to beat plowshares into swords… :-D

Sounds like they’d have been better off trying to convert some kind of car or light truck into an armored car, though, as tractors just aren’t geared right to make into tanks…

As to the Brits & ANZACs and their Matilda’s: I guess it’s kind of nice to get them a different model for variety/ visual appeal, but the fact remains that the Matilda is really a decisive step down in quality vs. the Sherman… and the Brits actually used more Shermans than any other tank.  I’d have been much happier if they’d chosen the Cromwell; it was at least not outclassed by the Sherman (not to mention nearly every German tank…)

@dondoolee:

-Think I am getting off easy because you “only” role 2 dice for heavy bombers

-Am still filled with wonder by transporting an infantry unit AND ANYTHING ELSE I WANT!

-Still think it is a bit rude and unsportsmanlike to attack Germany with Russia on R1.

Hehe - what a great post.  Yes, I’ve played enough Revised (about 70 games on GTO) and Anniversary that I think all of the Classic stuff is actually expelled from my system.  However, the ones I quoted still resonate with me.  Although with Germany right on the doorstep, it doesn’t seem rude or unsportsmanlike to attack Germany on R1 (which was crippling in Classic, as you imply)  In Classic you had the Caucasus buffer zone.
I’ve got some new ones to add.
-  I still have urges to attack subs with planes for the free shots.

-  Still cringe at attacking transports with planes because I might lose my planes and still not hit the transports (actually, I got used to the Anny rule very quickly)

-  Still have the urge to attack Russia with Germany with all available personnel every turn, especially turn 1, to get that all important Karelia factory!

Hi

Thanks for the link, unfortunately  that thread gets totally hijacked about half way through and turns into a “let’s buff China” fest  :evil:

The general consensus seemed to be that the NO’s are required (although they might tip it a little the other way).

Has any one else tried NO’s plus “Dardenelles closed to ships” optional yet?

@DarthMaximus:

Sorry Funcioneta.   :cry:
Now you and TC have to try and prove the opposite.   :-)

I had no doubt of it. Not even a slim doubt  :-D

If you got the .Zip file I sent you then

1 - Save it to your desktop
2 - Double click it ot open it up

You should see two folders there (A50 .GIM and A51 .GIM)

3 - Highlight these folders and right click and hit copy
4 - Open Windows Explorer
(right click on Start button and hit Explore)

5 - Go to Abattlemap
(probably C:  Program Files ….  Abattlemap )

You should see a bunch of other .GIM folders

6 - Paste your two new folders there.

Then when opening up Abattlemap to use, just pick the '41 or '42 map.

Exactly they are add ons… Like House rules anyways (immunity never aa gunscan kill jets
