I just bought a bunch of metal miniatures. If I decide to paint them to match the colors of AA50. Does anyone know the exact paint colors I will need? Has anyone got a clue what shade of blue France will be?
Also while some folks use their gameboards most use some sort of electronic map such as battlemap or mapview or both in the case of one of my games.
Here is a link to mapview and a link to a tutorial someone wrote on using it. Mapview is prettier than battlemap. I’m just getting exposed to it and I’m not sure how much “resistance to change” vs “like battlemap better” I’m experiencing.
Just picked up the 1998 Axis and Allies from Microprose today.
Installed it, everything runs fine, until the combat phase starts, when the program crashes.
Running Windows XP, have 512 MB of RAM.
Is this a common problem, and is there a quck fix?
Which one should I buy and what is the difference in the 2? Is Iron Blitz a release to fix bugs and be a better game, or is it just and expansion to include ‘marines’ & ‘destroyers’ etc.?
Appearantly you can’t buy Iron Blitz anymore, but you can still get the original A&A just about anywhere fairly cheap.
Random crashes do happen a lot in A&A (to the dread of players everywhere) at any particular moment. I might help if you reinstall A&A or close all programs before running A&A.
Oh yeah, Direct issues might help too. Check the troubleshooting file.
