Aa42 for $19.99.

Yes, the AA50 sub rules are a bit muddled, but the FAQ helps immensely.

There are no official rules on undoing a mistake, so you’ll have to work that out with your opponent.  However, many on-line clubs have procedures for such situations.  Maybe one of their members will suggest something here.

By the way, this is the AA42 forum, so questions about AA50 are off-topic here.  Please post further AA50 questions in the appropriate forum.  Thanks.

Water.

Now if the questions was ‘What do you smoke while playing AA42?’, then I might have a more interesting answer. :wink:

Therefore Saltz, keep that in mind in your strategies.  Always, I MEAN ALWAYS, have enough infantry fodder to bring to battle.  This is an economic war as much as anything.  If you keep losing tanks and planes on hits because you don’t have enough ‘fodder infantry’ to throw to the wolves you will surely lose your battles.  Unless of course your opponent’s buys are the same as yours.

Hey, there’s an idea.  Have a war with no infantry or artillery.  See how that works out.  Might be fun, never know.

IMS,

Welcome to axisandallies.org!

I hope that you will enjoy getting back into an old “classic” wargame which has been updated and is much better.

If you have the time to play but can’t find the players to play FTF (Face to Face), then check out the PBF (Play by Forum) board and try it out.

@P@nther:

So, as I see, you lightened up the Seazones a bit. What did you do with the .pdn to do this? Did you only modify the “Layer 25” or is there anything else behind it?
I am just asking because you did not update the .pdn.
:-)

Hmm, I don’t really remember… Tinkering with the brightness of the sea zones and the sea shade layers. And changing the blending options of the sea shade layers (overlay or normal instead of multiply, or adjusting the opacity)… Tried a few things 'till it looked right  :-D

and if aa42 were aa50-where japan does often get pretty large, then that might not be such a big issue…but '42 is supposedly to be more like AAR, where japan wasn’t exactly godzilla running amuck…

Overall the changes are positive imho.  Revised is a classic game and deserves another run and the chance to appeal to a new generation.  AA42 takes the best innovations from Anniversary (ie naval rules and units) and applies them to Revised.  It should be interesting to see how the strategies change.  It’s also a good move to remove tech–Revised works better w/o tech because tech is about luck and detracts from the strategic aspect.  With dice, luck is already a sufficient factor in the game.

Could be a big hit.
