Its a gentleman’s sport so we can just post fleets in spoilers. Its getting late here on the east coast so I will likely post mine in the morning from work.

Trying to attach the image rather than a photobucket link.

Looks like its my choice so I will Take USA.

Now I’m thinking if you take Japan then 42 or 43. Thoughts?

@Deaths:

also any year restrictions, i assume country specific?

Kinda depends on which nations we choose. I wouldn’t want to be Japan in 45 against the US. :wink:

Want to start a thread in the Play by Post section?

Nation preferences? I just bought a bunch of US cruisers and destroyers and want to take a few to sea. Any Restrictions?

I got tons of land maps and so does Rebel. We both make maps.

@Deaths:

Wanna play by post game of War at Sea  Field Marshall?

I’m not against the idea if you don’t mind if I post in the evenings when I’m not at my LGS playing. 200 points?

@Deaths:

Well we have a new MIni’s Mod - Me, and i will do what I can to make our Miniatures section better and hopefully more active  :lol:

Sweet! I will do what I can to help too.

That third booster was a real stinker.  :lol:

Seconded

I always wanted to do a sealion scenario, they sound fun.

@Rebel:

Why won’t my pic links work on this site?

I think you need 20 posts to post links and pics.

@Field:

Say you have a ship with armor 5 and vital 10 and hull points 3.

hmm, sounds alot like Baltimore or Montpelier to me :-D

Probably Montpelier because it’s starter and everyone has it.

It was just an off the top of my head armor set-up.

Well here’s the thing, theres not a lot of dog fighting with these planes in AAM. For the most part its the ground attacks that really matter, after all it a land game and ground units are what take objectives not planes. So the primary use for fighters is shooting down enemy ground attack aircraft after that they turn to attacks ground targets and the extra dice will make a difference in AV attacks. The game mechanics are really poor for the aircraft side of AAM, it was an afterthought or a add-on to the game.

All the ships are imprinted with its name. Its not always the complete name or is very ledgable. Eventually you will get to know the ships at a glance and won’t need to look, but for now its whatever works for you.

The Korean conflict would be easier to emulate using existing AAM Units. You have your work cut out for you in Vietnam, the age of jets and mobile fire groups will require a whole new set of cards and mini’s. Good luck!

@Bolt-Action:

I am  a huge fan of the spitfire but I would probably say the Mustang, just got one and the rockets give it an  edge over the Spitfire.

It has an edge in terms of the once per game rocket attack, but in terms of defense and range the Spit has the edge hands down, IMO. The AI attacks are identical but the AV is one dice better with the Spitfire Ace.

Thanks for the sticky! :-D

Spit Ace for me. Pretty effective SA’s and attack values.

I’m sorry but I am not familiar with the maps you mention.
