In my opinion you don’t have the right answer up there at all.  although there are some good choices. The biggest Mistake made by the axis Powers in my opinion

THE HALOCAUST-  The Biggest Waste of manpower and human resources ever. Not to mention the loss of some of the worlds most brilliant minds.  If Germany would have waited till they won the war to excercise the final solution (I do not agree with it), they would have 8 million + in man power and Production power and scientific research power. Germany would have been almost unstopable. Imagine if Einstein had not left. Need i really say more….

the Missouri would have crushed the Yamoto.  It had Fire Control Radar. Doesn’t matter if the Yammy can shoot farther, does no good if you can’t hit your target.

The Yamato was equiped with three different types of radar. None of these radars were firecontrol specific designs. A 10cm fire control design known as the Mk3Model2, developed from the Mk2Model2, never made it into operation before the end.

Setting up a game for the weekend of the 10th + 11th of March

@empireman:

Ok im about to play naval minis and need some help.

Im the allies
Ships:

Allies:
2 Battleships
1 carrier
1 auxiliary
2 subs
5 cruisers
5 destroyers
4 aircraft

Axis:
3 Battleships (1 normal, 1 super, 1 Italian pre war ship)
2 subs
2 cruisers
5 Destroyers
6 Aircraft

I know I have more, but its that dumb old super battleship I cant sink. :x

What do I do? :?

well without knowing what exact units u are using, i would drop 3-4 of your cruisers, use points for more subs and fighters.

Don’t use the Auxilaries unless in a convoy scenario, they are mostly worthless for naval combat. exception to this rule is the Nordmark, actually a very useful Aux. (set 1)

Also knowing that he doesn’t have a carrier ahead of time is a huge advantage if exploited correctly.

nice, Maybe i will buy a starter or 2

You forgot to mention the best Map ever-
Neauschwabenland.  Free for all style map, where each game is always different

Thx for down loading those maps, it’s nice to see folks invest in them knowing how much goes into creating something like that.

If your ever in appleton WI, i would love to play

if u don’t sell it all, I would definatly be interested in your defiant paras. I use them as normal infantry on my 8x4 map. The reason is their little red hats stick out from the german and Italian and US units I use.

all units roll individually from each other. You cant stack them to get more dice.

i don’t play the land game a whole lot, but I do believe the Opel blitz can move it and there is one other, the 8 ton half track thing i believe can also move it.  but with range 20, just deploy it smartly and you’ll never have to move it

yes, and i don’t know how to do it,

Hopefully a set 2 does come out, but with Rich Baker gone, who knows

nice game table.

one question, How come the Brumbar and Tiger have not smashed the churchill arv yet. I wanna see cotton flames and smoke coming out of that british pile :evil:

if you did war at sea, i would definatly be interested in playing. War at Sea is the best mini’s game ever in the AA franchise

not to my knowledge. there are units in war at Sea that units can split their main gunnery, but u cant stack units to get more attack dice. all units roll independently

I have not played in a while, but yeah, they were using a comunity photo bucket account for maps  and just typing in unit names into the squares. Not the mosteasy way to do it, but made the game easily understandable, since you only had to make a new map after each players sea movement or movement during land games. Then used the built in die roller to do combat.  Once you made 1 map and played on it, susiquient maps were easier to make.  I also made a bunch of Generic (big+small) maps to use for online play. They were used to great effect in pick up games and in League play. which was pretty successful

@djensen:

But then how with the A&A Minis crowd make it to Foruminis?

They ended the Avalon Hill forums. I’d guess that sent the crowd looking for a new place. I’m just throwing stuff out there. I have no idea really.  :-)

Thats exactly what happened.  when word got out the wizards was going to shut down there forums, some one started a new website and encouraged folks to join. I was one of them myself.  Also it is alot easier to play a minis game online then a whole A&A board game.

Also i feel that the Moderators over there are more open to new ideas and and listen to what their foruminians want from their web site.  They hold contests fairly often and tournaments and of course the forumini Olympics every 1.5 years or so.
The olympics is a great Idea, they have artistic compititions(mini painting), Land Minis tournaments, Sea Mini Tournaments, New unit contests.

Unfortunatly this web site mostly revolves around the Board games so it only appeals to the Board game Fans.  If All I played was War at Sea, i would have no reason to come to this site at all. It offers nothing really for the mini market.

Another reason was that the Forumini was in close support with Rich Baker the Head designer of the mini games, he listened to what the game fans had to say and you could see that in the new sets as they come out. the players felt that if something was unbalanced or needed the creators listened to their pleas and the new sets reflected those thoughts.

Another great thing about the forumini is their Marketplace or traders forum. It is well maintained and the bad traders are kept careful watch.  I feel no threat of not getting a trade completed.  It is a very close knit community with many moderators and 4-5 Admins.  I know I asked to be a Mod here a long while ago and was told to wait for everything to calm down (aa40 and aap40 were releasing soon) and I have yet to hear anything. Even Imp. sent me a note telling me about it. But Nothing ever happened.  I am currently trying to manipulate the triplea game engine so i can use it on the forums to make War at Sea games easy to play in a forum.  Java code sucks :wink:

I feel that the AxisandalliesforuMINI is a more open un biased website and everyone is listened to.  They take New Players under their wings and Teach them how to play by forum either land or Sea mini games, and soon the New Air mini game. Are you even set up to start that?  Hell they have people that will make a cool signature for you. You took away sigs here. they have there little cliques like the IJNCVLF, Club Med. etc…

In short, this website, which i love, focuses to much on just the board games.
Their is alot more to the A&A franchise then just Revised. (imho sucks)
