Re: ITALY & CHINA COMBAT DICE - Help us design them!

Saw this old thread and wanted to get some of their dice. And although their website is up, many broken pics and links and you can’t add anything to your cart.
I see this account hasn’t been on since 2015 so it seems safe to assume they’re not around anymore. Anyone know?

Thanks,

@gen-manstein

Thanks! Looking forward to Operation Coalition!

@aagamer Oh, stop – you look great! Haha

You are in luck – no sound. Since it is in warp speed mode, any audio would have been like chipmunks talking. LOL

You’re welcome regarding FEC, thanks for letting me play Italy! It’s nice to bounce around different countries. Good luck on the new board building, too! Indeed, was a great time. :D

Ray,

The event on May 22nd at the General’s Fortress was a glorious event as always. Per our discussion, it looks like Gopro videos are too big to be uploaded on this forum as we suspected. I will have to edit any videos and post them on youtube.

In the mean time, below is a link to one of the unedited videos which shows the action from the battle of Moscow in time warp speed. A quick one but gives a nice view of the action in the room and your new battle map.

To all: Please let me know if the link and video works properly and comes in clear for you. Enjoy!

Enjoy the latest photos from the front! The result was an Axis victory – live from the General’s Fortress in Kenosha, Wisconsin!

Unterseeboot! German subs dominate the Atlantic…

Britain’s Royal Air Force based in London.
Brits (foreground) are on the move in the Mediterranean as Japan (background) contemplates action in the Pacific.

Despite being badly outnumbered by German air, Russian defenders put up a valiant defense.

As Moscow falls, U.S. and British forces prepare to liberate Paris.

Italy (left) and Great Britain (right) prepare their troops for battle over Paris.

Italians rally to counter the Allies’ attack on Paris but fail despite a stubborn and dogged defense.

With Paris liberated, the French rebuild their economy toward the Allied war effort.
Anzac forces dig in as they wait for the inevitable Japanese landing.

As Java and Sumatra falls, combined land, naval, and Japanese air forces lay their sights on Calcutta, an important victory city.

Alas, the War is broadcasted live around the world on Twitch.

@AAGamer You’re welcome! Looking forward to see you as well!

Apologies for the delay. Here are some nice pics of last Saturday’s great War and Axis Victory. Tutto E Tutti Per La Vittoria!!! :) Enjoy! --Dan

Although the war was officially over by then, Italian and British forces continue to clash in Cairo.

Our two visitors: Jen (far left) and Lance (3rd from left) joined us to observe the war!

SS Spy Sir Dudley quietly observes to gather information.

@AAGamer Thanks, Mark!! :D

@SS-GEN Considering you don’t have any painted tanks, yes, it will stand out like a sore thumb. lol But if you’re worried about that, we don’t have to use it. I can keep it for my Anniversary map. Your call.

Lol Those are awesome A/D ratios. No, I haven’t heard about the White Tiger. I looked it up and I see the Russians made a movie about it though. Do you have a good resource you can point me to to learn more about it?

I would like to donate this Tiger Tank (I painted and dolled up recently) to the next battle at the General’s Fortress, November 16th. If accepted, he will serve proudly for the German player on the Eastern Front or in the Ardennes.

@phd_angel Thanks, Tony! I thoroughly enjoyed your report on Italy as well!

@barnee Haha A&A animal crackers and Dudley…That’s a cute thought! :P Lol

@barnee Thanks Barnee! Are you in the area? If so, come join us!

Folgore here (Dan)…Apologies for deleting the post of pics from yesterday. I had to resize them as they were a little too big and blurry…

We had another glorious event and it was an honor to play with these gents. We welcome our newest player – Tony! Hopefully we see Mark (AAgamer) and Carl get to join us next time, as-well-as anyone else who would like to join us.

For clarity, I added some brief captions to most pics to give you an idea of what was going on and who was controlling what country, etc. I am extremely happy with how the pics came out on my Nikon SLR. Hope you enjoy them, too!..

Italy makes purchases.

Battle for Moscow begins!

Moscow’s glorious defenders!

Moscow falls to the German Blitzkrieg!

After the fall of Moscow, the British capture Tehran and link up with Russia’s Southern army in Georgia to secure the Middle East oil fields…

The last bastion of hope for the UK in Africa. The Italians ended up not attacking as Axis Victory drew near.

The General’s fuel for success on the battlefield.

Thought this was a cool close up shot, reminded me of an anti-Nazi WW2 propaganda poster.

Casualty Pegs

German spy, Sir Dudley, can easily be bribed with food or back scratches.

Was indeed an awesome game! Thanks Mark (AAGamer) for joining us, was very nice to meet and play A&A with you. As always, thank you, Ray (SS GEN), for hosting such a glorious event. Please see some of the pics below that I took during the game.

US battles it out with Germany

In the background, Japan and US battle it out in the Pacific

Italy extends its’ reach in the Balkans.

I tell ya, I learn something new each time I play. Whether its success or failure, this game is so dynamic and fun. And it’s good to see a steady stream of players each month, let’s keep this momentum going all year long!

@SS-GEN :+1:

@SS-GEN Keep it at 8:30!
