What We Want the Next AA boardgame to be.

@Red:

this might have beem mention but why not make a simple set of free French by just making regular A&A or an orginal scupt Inantry, US Shemans, 105 Howitzers and/or M-7 Priest, M-3 Half tracks and Brit Spitfires and Maquitoes all in light blue.  nice and simple. The Free French were mostly US made equipment anyway and HBG dosn’t make these in this color.

HBG has available its Allies Supplement set in Light Blue (http://www.historicalboardgaming.com/HBG-Battle-Pieces–Allies-Supplement-set-Light-Blue_p_1132.html), and I think it’s also planning to produce the same set in OOB French dark blue in the near future.

Well, I still like the Crusader, although I know it was more on the side of a light to medium tank.  I’m not as familiar with the Cromwell, though I do know it was more comparible with the Sherman and other medium tanks.
The Churchill was heavy in terms of armor and size, but I thought the gun was somewhat underpowered.  Now that I think about it, not really sure what caliber gun the Churchill had.
Perhaps HBG could make the Crusader in his British supplement set as a light tank, like his M-3 Stuart in the US set (those look great by the way).

This is a very novel idea! Seems like board games are getting more like video games. I blame Civilization for merging the two ( and I own both board and video games  :-D)  Can’t wait to try it. We already have a “Risk” playgroup. This takes it to the next level. Maybe certain factions would only be allowed certain brands of alcohol…

Rorschach, Thank You for the priming tips. I stated I was clueless on this but now because of your post and several others I have what i need tp proceed with my painting campaign.  Cheers

Thanks Coach.

You start Taliking about 1960’s games, I start thinking about my Favorite Aircraft ever.

The Huey Gunship.  mmmm……
I also love the idea of flying all around werever I please and Pooping out Grunts everywhere.
Air Cav. Is Awesome. I like more then Paratrooper Regiments.  :evil:

Those Jolly Green Giant Choppers were cool also, But F’ing Ugly

So a Chopper Unit is a Must!. or at least available as a tech.

That would be great! What would be even better is if my curent playtesters, I won’t mention any names cough TG cough would hurry up and finish this round of playtesting and give em the results. If they say that it is balanced, then I’l lput it up and you can play the final version, which would mean no looking for bugs, rather just having fun.

I edit :)
