Historical games are always great, but some of the fun is to develope technologies that historically were not there. I do agree , it is nice to be able to play someone like Japan and play with historical units and economy and have the rising sun all over the pacific.

It’s anybody’s guess.

Yes, it may already be there , I have downloaded the game but not played.

IL, I love the map, thinking about printing out the map and playing. How does it compare to AAA game length, strategy, enjoyment?

What about Germany utilizing 3 million horses after their huge losses on the Russian front?

I did have some house rules that units were a different cost for the varying nations.
I like the concept.

What do you charge to sculpt a AAA figure,?

They built the carrier “Graf Zepplin” 70% finished.
The Allies were watching but new that it would not complete and did not waste the resources on it to destroy it.

Collect money at start of turn (no silly double pay-outs)

Ships in port preventing early naval wipeouts……AGREED

No use of captured factories…AGREED

Unlimited rail movement in non-combat…AGREED, NEED RAILWAYS ON MAP

Capitals treated as any other territory…??

Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact…AGREED

Correct roundels for each country…AGREED, I HAD IL FIX MY MAP FOR ME WITH CORRECT ROUNDELS.

Ok, what about the British super heavy tank……“Tortoise”

How about a B-36 Peacemaker.
The U.S. thought Britain was going to fall so they needed a Bomber that could take off from the U.S. mainland, bomb Germany and fly back home.
protoype flew in 1946

Do you have a pic of your Aircraft?

Come to Tulsa, OK.
There is a group of six of us that play AAHE50

I am also using 3 types of battleships.
Light BB 3-4
BB 4-4
Hvy BB 4-5
i am represneting them with say US.
Oklahoma will be Light BB, South Dakota will be BB, and Montana will be Hvy BB

Japan will start with all BB’s , no Light since they were all upgraded when war broke out.

Yes, Bismark was a good looking ship too. The American battleships were designed to fit through the Panama canal so they are not very wide which makes them not as good looking as Yamato and bismark. Both battleships had their advantages. If the yamato ever landed their 18.1" shell on a ship……ouch!

Thanks, I went to his website and have contacted him!

I printed IL’s map out in 4 sections that is 47"x 92". I am then putting a 48x 96" piece of plexiglass over it. These ships look great on them. Now to get them painted.

Actuall I am using Pz III and IV. When putting pieces on a board you sometimes have to use pieces that that does not always represent historically, but astestically looks better. I like using short barrel tanks when using pewter, they last longer as in not getting bent or broke. The KV-1 was considered a heavy tank before the JS series, plus it had a taller silloutte which shows up better on the board. I am making the same choices when picking my naval fleet. I agree that the Tiger 2 did not have huge numbers, but they did have them and I just want some more options for the German player. My favorite tank was the Panther with that 75L70, sweet gun and a good looking tank. If I add tank destroyer to the game, I will probably use a Jagdpanther instead of a medium tank , again, for looks. I did add the Sherman m4A1 that the candians built which will be produced by Canada.

I am going to start Italy and Japan with light tanks 2-2-5 and the other countries will have med. tanks 3-2-5.
I will also have US, Germany, and Russiathe ability to buy heavy tanks 4-4-7 with Germany having a few units of Elite SS tanks 3-3-7 and only Germany having super Heavy tanks 5-5-9
Germany, med= PZ III, heavy=Tiger 2, SS=Tiger 1, Super Heavy=Maus
US, med = Sherman, heavy=Pershing
Russia, med=T34-76, heavy=KV-2
The Italians and Japanese will NOT be able to buy anything but light tanks.
Heavy & Superheavy will move only 1 space.
What do you all think?
