need help i just got this game and dont no how to play! the game i got from the store and nwe can…

@CWO:

@Warhawk77:

Starting to play more and I was wondering do all the box sets have the game pieces in the same scale?

The short answer is “mostly yes”.� The longer answer is a bit more complicated.� From game to game, A&A sculpts have generally been on the same scale when you compare units belonging to the same unit class; in other words, specific sculpt X will generally be the same size no matter which game it comes from.� Within each class, however, scales can vary; for instance, the Yamato and Iowa battleship sculpts are roughly the same size, even though in reality Yamato was much bigger than Iowa.� There’s even more variation between unit classes, the most extreme case being the scale of the infantry sculpts and the scale of the battleship / carrier sculpts.�

There have also been some cases of scale changes for specific units.� The British and German battleship sculpts became larger and more detailed when many of the sculpts were “refreshed” at one point.� The German 88mm sculpt went from being small (and mis-representing field artillery) to being large (and correctly representing an AAA gun), and the same thing happened to the Stuka (which originally mis-represented a fighter rather than a dive bomber).� And note that the ANZAC infantry sculpt is somewhat notorious for being rather large compared with other infantry units.

Reading the reply I see I should have asked the question better. I should not have used the term scale as the pieces are different scales compared to each others but you fully understood what I was trying to say so thank you.

I will point out I had never thought about the different types of planes and guns that the sculpts are until you pointed it out so now I will have to go thru my games and compare them all.  :-D I know I’m helpless and get sidetracked very easy maybe a little ADD on my part, but what else would I do tomorrow?

Thanks Again

Don’t forget that Anniversary Ediition is now available.
It is a 6 players game, with a large map.
It is a Deluxe edition with many additional player’s aid like paper money.
Check on youtube, you can compare the unboxing of both 1942.2 and AA50 (Anniversary reprint.)

I haven’t played forum style in awhile but for the most part you just remove the lowest combat valued pieces first when you are posting an attack. If you have question about something you just ask. Most times questions only arise with defending navies and subs and so on. The person who’s turn it is usually rolls both the attacker and defender and removes the casualties. If they come up to a part where the other guy might not have said what to do if such and such decision was made you ask.

The msot difficult things I found about playing online were getting the map softwares installed and running, typing up what I moved and the dice rolls and not taking a crazy amount of time thinking about your moves. It is very easy when you’re the only one around to take all the time in the world, over think and over analyze. I quit playing online over the last one.

There isn’t really an FAQ or a set of guidelines or anything. I think a lot of guys are using the Triple A program which does a lot of stuff for you. I’d always used Abattlemap before I gave up playing by forum because I was taking two hours to make two moves a night– because I couldn’t just ‘play.’

When it comes down to it just do what you’d do playing face to face only with forum posts.

I was bored the other day and did a review of the forum dice roller which I’ll be posting here in Player Help.

Thank you.

@TimTheEnchanter:

This can also be useful if you use a light force to clear a territory, then you can send tanks through to a friendly territory on the other side.

For example, say japan has a big stack of armor and a couple infs in india and a lot of infs in sinkiang.  Let’s also assume the allies have picket defense in kaz and persia.  Either stack would get smacked on it’s own, but together they should hold a territory.  Use a few infs from sinkiang to capture Kaz, and a light force to take persia, then, once you know both battles were victorious, you can shoot the armor stack from india up to Kaz with the inf stack from sinkiang for a formidable hold on the territory.  (I’ve used this to swing US tanks from TRJ through Persia to Caucasus, or to get UK armor from Norway through Karelia to Arc or WRu to help defend russia as well)

yes that is a smart move.

I think this reinforcements rule puts the axis at a disadvantage and we all know the axis already has enough disadvantages to deal with.
