I was able to play BOTB last night and it is great!(Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish the game because I had to meet someone) I had a question if anyone could answer. When your units attack they hit the unit with a 6 or less plus they hit the unit that corresponds with that number. Example roll a 3 you hit the third unit. When you are attacking just one unit do you have to roll a 1 or does every roll six or under a hit?

I don’t have the board for A&A D-Day in front of me but, I know it has roads to all the cities for aesthetic value. Maybe we could use some of the rules of supply and also the use of roads from Battle of the Bulge with D-Day as well? Any ideas?

Someone wrote that I should use a primer. I see the need because the paint seem to crack off quiet easily. What do you usually use for a primer?

Does anyone have suggestions what brand or kind of paint would be the best to paint the A&A pieces and my new airfix pieces I have just got?

Has anyone come up with good use of blockhouse in say A&A Europe, Pacific, or even Revised? I think they definitely could be of use in Europe. Also, I wanted to ask if anyone knows where I could get extra pieces from A&A D-Day? You can’t get them from Hasbro for some reason. I want more blockhouses and I like the darker German Pieces.

Thanks so Much!

Are the Zepplins at michtoy?

I think I found it:http://www.ss-sms.com What do you suggest for choices for say the tank for germany and all the other countries. There are so many different kinds and I really want one kind of unit for each nation

I can’t seem to get the link to scalespecialties to work. Are you sure thats the website?

Have found a good website to get WWI 1/72nd scaled infantry(michtoy.com) but I am having a hard time finding websites to get scaled 1/3000th scaled ships, 1/285th armor, and 1/500th aircraft. It seems like when I do fine a website there is never any pictures of the product you are buying. Any suggestions?

Malta is there but, the picture is so compressed you can’t tell.

Why does is seem all the maps have green fields and big trees. Why don’t they have desert maps and maps with snow. I think more varied terrain would be nice.

What’s the setup for germany I lost the chart!

It’s so compressed. Those are rivers.

The compression really murders it.

Here is a map I have been working on just for fun. Any constructive criticism?

Like I said before the rules should work with AAR board but, I think another better map could be made that also could use the rules.

I think there needs to be project to include a more historically accurate map. I think the rules will need to work with AAR map but, maybe have a separate section if different rules apply to the larger more advanced map.

I am sorry if I am not up on all the aspects of AARHE but, is it to use the AAR board? Because if it is to be a more realistic historical game the map would need to have changes to keep it historical and realistic.

I have recently bought Conquest of the Empire and find it a very enjoyable game. People familiar with this game know of the road system. Where you can build roads to increase the movement of your troops. I was wondering if a similar system could be used for axis and allies using railroads? Has anyone incorporated railroads in house rules? On a side note has anyone come up with good house rules for adding oil  and oil fields to the game?
