Thanks FMG, +1 karma, 8 hours have passed!!!

Guys,

What part of first edition don’t you understand?  It took us from March 2009 to today to find out about the first edition.

If there are others that need to be added, it can be added later…

Also AAP40 and AAE40 news came out to recent, most likely FMG will add it later…  Let’s not add things that might delay this release even longer.

@Brain:

@FieldMarshalGames:

The first Edition will have USA, UK, GERMANY, USSR, JAPAN, ITALY.

We will do CHINA to a larger extent later if they have a large production role in AAP40

We will not take pre-orders until we run out of funds for the project.  Currently, COMBAT DICE sales are keeping the project funded and alive.

What about France and ANZAC?

This is correct.  The project is already being prepared at the fatory.  The molds are being designed.  We had to make a call….  We held out just long enough to ensure Dive Bombers were included.  We can sit and wait for the next news but this will just delay. delay, delay…

We had to move forward.  We can always make new molds later.  It will also be easer as the First Edition can fund the second, third etc etc.

Sorry about the confusion.

I remember someone had a battle calculator that showed all the different scenario round by round.

Let’s say you attack with 6 inf vs. 1 inf, it would show you as the attacker.
Scenario:  Attacker  Defender
Scenario 1: 0 hit      0 hit
Scenario 2: 1 hit      0 hit
Scenario 3: 2 hits      0 hit
Scenario 4: 3 hits      0 hit
Scenario 5: 4 hits      0 hit
Scenario 6: 5 hits      0 hit
Scenario 7: 6 hits      0 hit
Scenario 8: 0 hit        1 hit
…
Scenario 14: 6 hits      1 hit

It would give the % chance of each scenario and also per round.

I can’t find it again.

+1 karma for trying to understand my confusing post.

@gnasape:

Done!

5 stars!

Any chance you might add another feature that shows most most likely scenarios per round?

Thanks

Not sure exactly what you mean. After X number of rounds of combat what you have left? Or loaded presets where you can touch a button and it would automatically load a specific configuration?

Frog is Von Manstein and Von Manstein II!

Don’t worry IL we’ll get to the bottom of things.

@Imperious:

That’s the second time I heard mention of a guy named Frog, Who the hell is he?

I was told i get all my ideas from him and Adlertag gets his jokes from him too. Other than that i have no idea who he is. Perhaps one day he may expose his identity to the world just like Bruce Wayne should have done as Batman.

For AA, either here or LH forum.

freezing,

Thanks for the free code, I downloaded and it works!!!

Everyone should get one for their ipod (sorry I don’t own a iphone but if I did, I would recommend it for your iphone).

@Brain:

Countries should settle their differences over a game of Axis and Allies.

Good idea but can you imagine the argument over the rules, realism, etc, etc.  It will be like this forum! :)

Nah, seriously, a good game of chess is what we need to settle wars.  Champion vs. Champion!

World Series of Chess!

Even for FTF you should try to play with a bid, it’s no fun kicking a downed opponent.  As my friend crispyhaole says, “do you want to play me as Axis without a bid?”  My answer is “heck no.”  I don’t like to play him with a bid!

@jbriggs:

No I don’t.  LOl.

Sorry.  The last AA game I played on the computer was the windows version for windows 98.  I take it the bids allow you to place a few extra pieces on the map.  Thats what it was in that game……

Forgive me though.  I am behind on the times I guess.

I don’t really play with industrial techs and I play with the normal pieces you start out with.

Good luck.  Try some things and send me a private message on how some games go for you.  I’m curious to learn some things that work or not work for you.

+1 karma, I don’t have a iphone but I have an ipod.

Great job, I’ve tried out the web version and it seems to work.

Ok?  I take it you don’t play with a bid?

Umm, unless you are playing a different game than I am, the allies have resources but not enough resources to keep both Germany and Japan in check.  Maybe I missed the boat when they handed out brains but with Germany going crazy in Africa and UK reduced to high 10’s and low 20’s for a while, and UK is not inclined to build IC’s for Japan…

US splitting buys for Europe/Pacific would work in your situation as German is buying only arms but against a German Turtle, dropping off 1-2 units in Europe is wasting resources…

If possible can you post your FTF games, level of player(s), buys, attacks, significant battles, etc.  Trying to figure out if I’m too dumb to not see something where I can do both KGF and KJF at the same time or my revised game is defective.

FYI: I play with a bid, normally 9 bid.

@jbriggs:

Something that I have noticed about this forum is that alot of people focus on KGF or KJF.  The way I play is why not kill both at the same time.  It is possible to do this, but it requires alot of communication with your allies.  Think about this, a coordinated plan with great britian and US can allow you to weaken Japan by round 3, and prevents Japan to focus on the asian mainland wich hurts Russia and limits them from putting pressure solely on Germany.  But Britian and the other allies can take territory away from Germany as well, and you can limit Germany drastically by turn 3 as well, preventing them from putting pressure on Russia.  It is possible and if your good enough to see the whole board at once, you’ll see that the game can be completely won in 10 rounds or less.  Just a thought……

This is for AA Battlemap:

How to use the dice,

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=6682.0

Jbriggs,

Good point but unless your games end in 2-3 turns, that’s a lot of wasted resources.

Please see DM’s article about German Lurch

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=14466.0

What you are suggesting is a German Lurch without fodder.  It can work if the dice go your way but really really bad.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m seen it work but only because US went KJF and it was building up to an arms race with Japan and US but not US wasn’t able to break through.

Some things to point out.

If I was Germany and saw two juicy Russian ftrs in Kar, it’s dead…

Your buys with Russia “I usually purchase only artillary for the first few rounds with Russia.”  Why?  For 1 IPC more, you get an arm with more bang and mobility, what about fodder.  That’s why your tank rush works, Russia is too thin and too weak.

As for attacking Cauc, what about Egy?  What about Africa?

From what you say, it doesn’t look like you pay with a bid?

+1 karma to jbriggs!

I know it’s hard to be the lone person so I applaud you.

Spartan,

Keep us posted if/when the PBF get’s setup.  But if you are looking for a game, my friend, crispyhaole is available.  I move to slow for his taste and for most people’s pace.

jbriggs,

What does Russia do in R1 for your games?  That would determine why your move works, if Russia holes up buys nothing but inf and tries to do it’s 3 attacks, Norway, Belo, Ukr, even I would do that except minus the IC, as it is the normal response to that particular R1 opening.  As for 8 arms being available for Ukr counter, whatever you build in Germany can hit Ukr.

Even against a conservative R1 opening, it works if Allies commits to a KJF.  Everything depends…

But against a KGF strategy it might come down to dice rolls.

Against a R1 opening of 3 inf, 3 arm and only attack W. Rus heavy, all the forces around W Rus would be deazoned and I’m not a fan of leaving arms exposed around W. Rus to bait Russia into attacking back, also a smart Russian player would hold position and maintain the deazones (not sure for how long with arms rushing down Moscow but that’s where UK comes and in strategically picks off Europe.

It could work but I still need to see it play out.

This is something that can only be settled by playing it out.  If you are interested, I have a good friend that is looking to play PBF, his screenname is crispyhaole, send him a challenge.

Welcome to the forum Piazza2425,

+1 karma for the input!

Please try that also and report back.

When reporting back, please provide detail of each round buys, moves and any major points for each country.

As I mentioned before consider it a new game from revised.  It looks like revised but doesn’t behave like revised.

The only way we are going to learn is for people to try different tactics and see how it works out, that way we can figure out counters and how to react to certain moves.

bump,

Also now there is Von Manstein II with IL’s old avatar, the army guy (not sure who the picture is of but looks familiar)!

+1 karma, please try it out and report back, as this is a new game, you need to try it out and see how well it works.

Questioneer had it posted on LH’s forum so he is aware of it, also LH suggested it!

But all kidding aside, Adlertag is right.

I’m ready and puckered, who’s ass do we have to kiss to make this happen!

@murraymoto:

@johnnymarr:

The problem is if they read this forum they’ll get so pissed they ditch the reprint

they don’t read their own forums

Nice!

that post was from a volunteer on the forum, right?  Not a paid position that would necessarily be in the inner circle of Wizards.  My question would be, Has Larry said it?  Has Krieghund said it?  Have they posted in on the AH website?  no, wait, that wouldn’t happen until after the reprint sold out would it….
