    • RE: Beer

      @frimmel:

      @Motdc:

      Too much ester production could be a sign of poor tempurature control during fermentation…

      Depending on the brew and the yeast.

      Lots of esters are not appropriate for a Pilsner for instance but a Hefe should have lots of esters.

      It is not out of the question though that Fish’s micro overdid it.

      That’s possible, if I remember right they called it a Banana Heffewiesen, but that could be because that’s how it came out.  at any rate bleah…

      @dezrtfish:

      LOL, not to dring with the food, to drink while I’m standing by the grill in the heat ;)

      When I’m baming I’m looking fo rsomething strong and dark, I’m in a cool room doing minimal activity.  If I drank some of my favorite gaming brew while doing yard work I would be in trouble.

      Double Boch, now that’s a gaming brew!

      Based on the typos, I would say someone had had a few when they posted the above…

      And what is “baming”?  Do share this obviously wonderful hobby with us   :evil:
      :roll:

      LOL, sometimes I think someone comes in and moves the keys on my board…

      Yeah, well… that’s nasty.  I’ve had others that I could drink, though not something I would pick up on my own.  But this stuff tasted like they put bananas in the keg.

    • RE: Carrier Based Fighters

      @Adlertag:

      What we see here, are failure of communication, since some gamers are not at the luxury of using their own language. Jen from Russia, me from Norway, IL from Germany, Massiomo from Italy and so on, and a rule book writen in English.

      I know some of you love to switch carriers and trannies as a strategy, and that is good as long as everybody agree on the rules. In my playgroup we have this dude who always buy a carrier in G1, and in G2 send the Med fleet through Suez, and shuck Japan infantry from India to Africa. So UK has an infantry in Italian East Africa, now Japan send a japanese Battleship to shore bombard, and then attack with two japanese infantry from the german tranny and two japanese fighters from the german carrier. The issues often starts when he move in his empty japanese carrier to join, and land two german fighters on it for protection, and later in mid game want to split this fleet, and swith the fighters on the carriers and the men on the trannies, not to mention who owns that AA-gun wich suddenly appered in Africa.

      But to be honest, I think this game would be better if not mixing units. I even have issues with UK/US troops landing in Karelia and marching through Sovjet territory, but tthen A&A Europe always was my favorite game

      First off, Jen moved to america when she was a kid I believe over twenty years ago.

      Second, your example is completely against the rules and is what is refered to a “house rule”.

      Third, how about German:

      Besondere Fähigkeiten
      Kampfflugzeuge befördern: Ein Flugzeugträger kann bis zu 2 Kampfflugzeuge beherbergen, einschließlich derjenigen, die verbündeten Weltmächten gehören. Kampfflugzeuge verbündeter Mächte können nur während des Zugs dieser Weltmacht auf Flugzeugträgern landen bzw. von ihnen aus starten.  Ein Kampfflugzeug muss von der ursprünglichen Position des Trägers gestartet werden, um in diesem Zug angreifen zu dürfen. Wenn der Träger zuerst zieht, gelten die Kampfflugzeuge an Bord als Fracht.  Kampfflugzeuge auf angreifenden Flugzeugträgern, die zu verbündeten Weltmächten gehören, gelten immer als Fracht, da sie gerade nicht am Zug sind. Dein Flugzeugträger muss in das Seegebiet ziehen, in dem eines deiner Kampfflugzeuge seinen Zug beendet hat, kann aber in diesem Zug nicht weiter ziehen.

      Not really, I think, if I remember right, he advocated a slowly withdrawing screen.

    • RE: Beer

      I went to a local micro-brewery last year Gordon Biersch.  As a mater of fact cystic crypt was visiting for an A&A game and a Coyotes game.  After the Yotes game we went to Biersch and got thier sampler they had a Heffeweizen there that I couldn’t finnish, that’s rare for me, the damn thing tasted like bananas!

    • RE: Carrier Based Fighters

      Cut and pasted directly from the pdf on the WotC web site page 30 http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/axis2004.pdf:

      Carry Fighters: An aircraft carrier can carry up to two fighters, including those belonging to friendly powers. Fighters from friendly powers can take off and land from your carriers, but only during that power’s turn. A fighter must be launched from the carrier’s initial position to participate in an attack this turn. If the carrier moves first, the fighters on board are cargo. Fighters belonging to friendly powers on attacking carriers are always treated as cargo, as it is not their turn. Your aircraft carrier can move to a sea zone where one of your fighters has ended its move (and in fact, it must do so) but cannot move any farther that turn.

      I don’t see how it could be any more clear

    • RE: Japan defence strategy

      I agree, there’s nothing there to stop you.  It’s the same on land with armor.  Say you attack Karelia and Archangel from West Russa and capture them both.  Then you have a nice fat stack of tanks in Eastern Europe.  You can now Non combat move them through Karelia to Archangel.

      I think I would go heavy air to try to clear them out faster than he could replace them.

    • RE: Beer

      Did anyone else hear, “the beer that made Milwaukee famous” is making a comeback.  LOL, I have to get a sixer just to say I tasted it.

      I still have several Grolsch bottles, they are cool, but I used to buy them n college and when a new guy showed up at our house I’d make him drink the Grolsh so I could get the bottle emptied.

      I’m not a big fan of Heffewiesen, I’m not into citrus or fruit flavor in my beer, I have been looking for something good for grilling though  the problem for me is that when I am trying new beers I always seem to do it in the same setting, around a game board with some buddies in the evening.  Some beers just don’t fit that setting.

      Theres a “garage bar” a couple houses down that I hang out in so I should probably start bringing some random sixers down there to experiment on.

    • RE: Fun Game… (KJF)

      I will just say that there can be no Bombers or Aircraft Carriers with out advanced flight.

      And I prefer to use “boat anchor” place of “cat”

      @AxisOfEvil:

      Wow, it is certainly clear to me that I will never have enough passion for this game to make a post in this thread!!!  Wait, I just did. Can you imagine those two doofuses from the utube video reading this thread!!  :)

      PS- so How many of you are lawyers?

      I’m not a lawyer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night… :wink:

    • RE: Carrier Based Fighters

      From the box rules:
      Page 30 (Aircraft Carriers)
      Carry Fighters: An aircraft carrier can carry up to two fighters, including those belonging to friendly powers. Fighters from friendly powers can take off and land from your carriers, but only during that power’s turn. A fighter must be launched from the carrier’s initial position to participate in an attack this turn. If the carrier moves first, the fighters on board are cargo. Fighters belonging to friendly powers on attacking carriers are always treated as cargo, as it is not their turn. Your aircraft carrier can move to a sea zone where one of your fighters has ended its move (and in fact, it must do so) but cannot move any farther that turn.
      Fighter Defense: Whenever a carrier is attacked, its fighters (even those belonging to friendly powers) are considered to be defending in the air and can be chosen as casualties rather than the carrier. (However, a fighter can’t be chosen as a casualty from a submarine hit, because submarines can attack only sea units. See Submarines, on page 32.)

      Jen this cut and pasted directly from the PDF on the AH/WotC website rules download.  The second sentance is the one I believe you are questioning.

    • RE: Beer

      @Jermofoot:

      It happens everywhere.  All the major American beers are trying to be Pilsner Urquell specifically (the number 1 imitated beer in the world).

      You know the funny thing about that is I’ve had Pilsner Urquell and I don’t like it at all…  It’s right up there with Grolsch on my list of no thank you beers.

    • RE: Battleground Europe: WWII Online

      I was reading that reciently they have worked on some of those issues, I haven’t played it myself, but I read they had developed mobile spawn points and in game “tutors”  of course few people are interested in being mentored…
