@Emperor_Taiki:

Isnt it the same story as that disney cartoon Pocahontas.

I like 3D, but Avatar has the same plot and stupid dialogue as alot of other hollywood moives nothing particularly cool or intersting about the battle scenes either.

I have never heard anyone accauly say why they liked it except its in 3D or its “revolutionary”.

This movie had a lot of great special effects and the color photography was great. But the story line reminded me of the movie DANCES WITH WOLVES where they made the army look like a bunch of dolts. In Avatar it was the Marines that looked like dolts or maybe it was former Marines that were now merceneries I am not sure which.

@nutbar:

i have never drank coke or pepsi and i hate both of them and i can’t drink them due to unspecified medical problems and i hate the burning when you drink a soft drink. i love milk though

I am very sorry that you cannot experience the wonderful feeling of drinking a Coke. I like milk too, however it must be with the appropriate food. Nothing beats cold milk and chocolate chip cookies… but as for pop… I am sorry.

Sorry Hoff, coke just does not stack up to a good ole Wild Cherry Pepsi. And chocolate chip cookies just do not make the cut because they smear all over my reels when I am fishing. Oatmeal raisen is the only way to go.

@Imperious:

Iced Tea, then Stewart’s Diet Root-beer.

last resort Diet Pepsi

Worst drink ever: Mountain Dew/Code Red or anything with Prune Juice or Cherries ( Dr. Pepper).

Sorry IL, diet Pepsi has aspertame in it. Had to vote for straight CHERRY PEPSI.

I voted for Operation Barbarossa 1941, Gazela 1942, and Kursk 1943. Stalingrad 1942 might be good also. But I do not look for any of these to happen because of no U.S. involved on the eastern front. And it appears that Larry does not want North Africa. That is why I am moving along with creating my own Mediterranean game. It is possible that if German intel had been what it should have been at Kursk, they might have waited in a strong defensive posture for the Soviets to attack first and wear out their armor and then counter-attack.

@Imperious:

Just let China play on the Soviets turn. Thats kiss enough and no gimmicks like “give them X additional forces” are not needed.

Also, let them round up on the infantry, so japan does not make a mockery of glitching the game by always holding on to an odd number of spaces to deny that extra Chinese unit

I have play tested these changes in AA50. I let the Chinese move after the Soviets as IL has suggested. I penned in a Burma road with a red sharpie. I gave them a second p-40 and a five IPC bonus NO after each turn if the Burma road remains open. This allows the China player to position his army before Japans turn. China can spend or save the five IPCs. They also have the option to buy artillary if the Burma road remains open. No IPCs to start the first round. Now Japan does not just roll over China in AA50. IL has suggested having China go before Japan in AAP1940 as well. I have not had time to try this yet. In AAG1940 I will try this change if needed. Of course China gets six IPCs in AAP1940 instead of five. I tried giving China extra infantry to start in AA50 but this made them too strong. The changes I have listed for AA50 slows down the Japanese to where if they still go after the Soviets right away then China can build up a sizable army and become a tough nut to crack. If they go all out for China then this gives the Soviets a little break. Also the Japanese will have second thoughts about sending planes to help Germany. In AAP1940 this idea just might give the U.K. a little break in India. I will try it when I get a chance.

@Fishmoto37:

This is the first confirmation that I have heard that they all will be ready in my lifetime.

You lucky basterd, I got a heart condition and my doc will be surpriced if I live to see the Italians.

Sorry to hear that. Looks like you may not even make it through one game of AAG1940 if thats the case.

@FieldMarshalGames:

@finnman:

Fmg will you sell the exras sepuratly.

The “Extras” Set will be like the other Nations, it will be available for sale separately.

NOTE: After the release of ITALY, the other Nations will be coming in quick succession.  The Factory is already working on the German Sculpts!  As you have seen they have been coming faster and faster.

The first Nation was the biggest challenge with a learning curve for both us and our factory….  Now that we have a system in place I am confident that the ENTIRE project will see completion in 2011 including all Nations and the “Extras” set.

WOW this is great news! This is the first confirmation that I have heard that they all will be ready in my lifetime.

IL, sorry but I have given up on your variant of BotB after our session yesterday. The rules that you had for aircraft just do not get it done. The oob rules for aircraft are no good either. The two hit tigers are too much also. The Germans are very superior to the allies and do not need two hit tigers. All of the tigers just soak up too many of the allies hits. I think what I will do is use your variant map which is better than the oob map and then try to improve on the oob rules. By the way the whole British army that you had in the north were just wasted units early on. I think it was turn number seven before they could get involved.

I voted for the North African campaign as well. I could always use another North African map with more land territories and detail. I am in the proscess of designing a game like this as we speak.

@Emperor_Taiki:

He did kill a 130 or so facists right? that deserves respect.

Here is are man

ouch,  not exactly jude law.

I think this was the number of kills in Stalingrad. His total for the entire war was much higher.

@cminke:

hol-e carp that thing is beast!

What kind of fish is a hol-e carp? I thought you all were talking Russian tanks.

This is amazing. Looks like IL is the only one on this forum that has even heard of Vasily Saitsev. I thought that there were a lot of WWII students here.

I voted for WWII. It was the war of my childhood. I have read about it all my life but I was too young to remember much about it. How about the war for Texas Independence? Of course that was a leeetle mite before my time. Always liked to read about this time of Texas history.

As a Texan I’ve always enjoyed the War  for Texas Independence.

Against Mexico?

Of course it was against Mexico. (1836) A couple years before my time.

IL, do you have more recent rules posted somewhere?

@cminke:

no insult but just how old r u?

By the way, no insult intended but what language are you posting in most of the time?

@cminke:

no insult but just how old r u?

Still under 80. Many years ago I was a lot younger but I got over that!

@Fishmoto37:

I see someone else voted in my age group. 61-100 Amazing.

You can meet in the “home” and show it all your friends

JK

Now there are three votes in my age group. The “home” is going to be crowded. I dont wanna go. Oops I had better watch it or IL will get after me to stay on topic. Let me see now I think it was IL. Maybe I am having another senior moment.

@Fishmoto37:

I know that it will be a North Africa game because I am in the process of creating it myself. Just got the map and currently working up a list of units and values for D-12 dice.

You are creating it yourself?

Yes I am. Got the map from IronDukes post on House rules.
