I use to own the MB version of A&A, Max’s Advanced Rules, the three books from Gamers Paradise, Central Powers and New World Order from Table Tactics, and the original World at War. I am just getting back into the game with my sons. I still have the MB version and I just bought the revised rules. I loved the extra rules.
After looking around I see that there are tons of other variations. There is D-Day, AA Europe, AA Pacific, Battle of the Bulge, and shortly Guadacanal from Avalon Hill. There is miniatures from AH/Wizards. Xeno still puts out World at War. There is also Pacific at War, Europe at War, Russia at War, and The Eastern Front. Table Tactics still has Central Powers, New World Order, and Accessories. I have found The Struggle for Europe and Asia from WW2wargame. There is also The War Game: World War II that looks interesting.
I think I have a copy of Max’s lined up. I intend to get pretty much everything on the list above. The problem is what order to get them in. I wanted to ask you guys your experiences with some of the expansions. I loved all the ones I owned. World at War was probably my favorite. Of course we combined a lot of the expansions, taking what we liked from each one. There are plenty of expansions I haven’t played. That’s where I need you guys’ help. A short description of any of the expansions you have played with some of the cool rules would be great (I’m not asking for specific rules, just what’s cool about the expansion). Let me know which ones I should try to get first. Thanks for any info/help.
