Thanks for the reply. Might be a good Christmas gift for my brother …

Has anyone seen the quality of the silk screen on these T-shirts? Is it that cheesy, computer print-out, iron-on that peels off after a few washes, or is it a high quality silk screen fabric paint that will stand the test of time?

The deisgns look good and I am very interested in getting a few.

Hey Mot, not only do the historical scenarios have custom maps, they have historical force builds. It’s less about an evenly matched, 100 point meeting engagements on a random map and more about offense, defense, and reserves in context with a historical campaign.

Hey Audacity, maybe you should consider the “Play By Email” option for A&AM here on this forum. True, a 100 point game can take a week or two to play, but I enjoy the pace and the ability to do a well thought out turn in a day or two. Plus, its a great way to experiment with different force builds.

Hey Mot, did you refine the white borders on the Set II pieces? They look good on my MapView. Also, my first attempt to start a new game with the new mod crashed … showed an “image error” diolog box very briefly before shutting down. Opened fine the seconnd go around.

As for the migration to the new maps, I am in favor. I just played my first game with the new set and maps last weekend and I thought every worked out fine.

Also, I still would like to make some mods based off of some of the historical scenarios posted on the WOTC web site. Hope to work on that this weekend.

I purchased (2) 1939-1945 Starter Sets and (2) 1939-1945 Boosters for $58.00 form my local gaming store this past weekend. Over-all, I’m pleased with this release and think we’ll continue to play this fun game in our area for quite a while.

My Pros:

• Liked the new maps alot
• Liked getting T-34, Cromwell and Sherman in starter set.

My Cons:

• Did not like the 13 point Pnzr Mk-III included in the starter set. Basically, you get (3) hard hitting Allied tanks and (1) not so hard hitting Axis tank.

Undecided: the new 15mm vehicles have not made me shout out and say “what a great idea!” I was OK with the previous improperly scaled vehicles. I did get a 1994 Soviet heavy tank in one of my boosters and was shocked by how big it was. At least I now have vehicles for use in Flames of War should I decide to get into that level of WWII gaming!

Initial map design for an upcoming WWII Northern Africa campaign has begun. Feel free to download these maps at:

OK, I have MapView installed and running. The A&AM moudles have been loaded. So far so good …

I’d like to give PBEM A&AM a try. PM or email me and let me know what type of game you have in mind.

Thanks,

Brian
