I bought this game new in 2006, tried to play it once and put it awy until today.  My friend and I said that today would be the day we would give botb another try.  I have been reading all these posts and questions and the FAQ’s for the past week now and thank goodness for all this info.
The game was a lot of fun once you tell yourself that this is no traditional AA game.  I was the allies because I read that a lot of people said the axis blows right through the allies and I thought I was up for the challenge….Let’s just say, My buddy had enough victory points by turn 4 for the W …oh well.
His blitzes and my poor supply placement cost me the game but next time, I will be prepared, Again, Thanks for all the info on this game guys.
Just got AA50 on ebay for $220.00  :|(blaaagghhh) :| so looking forward to playing that next.

And to all of you guys here helping us that used to play AA 1998 and iron blitz that now own an xp.  I played my first game last night and had a blast.  My wife yelled at me to get off the computer just like the old days when I ran the cd’s….Awesome!

This tripleA system is the greatest!

Again thanks for all the help and support from the AA.org. members.

Oh thanks, That did it!  Now my wife is really going to bent.

Sweet!  looking forward to playing it.

Foe some reason, I cannot load a saved game.  I go to the “load saved games” tab and see the game I’ve saved and click “open” but when i go to play it, the “play” tab won’t activate.
Any ideas??? and thanks.

Your story was a lot like mine…1988 at my friends house with 2 other friends and his dad…I was U.S. an like you had no idea what I was doing.  The dad was germany and for some reason sent 3 subs down around south america.  I spent all game chasing that damn wolfpack and pretty much losing the game for the allies.
We still laugh because our buddy that played the U.K. put a Industrial complex in every african country so, I didn’t feel like the only clueless player that night.

A buddy just picked up “Battle Cry” anniversary at a store that was having a 50% off sale.  We are lifelong AA players with the occasional game of Fortress America mixed in.  We have always wanted to try Battle Cry…Is it any good?

Indeed!

I had a copy in my dirty little hands in a mall in Scottsdale AZ and was about to get it, then i saw the $99.99 retail price at this game store.  My wife gave me that look and I made the mistake of putting it back thinking I would get it later but unfortunatly, I didn’t.
She hates the game, calls me a tool for playing and gets bent when I’m gone all day playing.  I tell her It’s my geography lesson and ask her to show me where Malta is on a map…she can’t…Who’s the tool now???

HaHa…awesome!  I live in Santa Rosa and play with a friend all the time!  I cannot believe I saw your post for SR players… the only thing that sucks is that this post is almost 6 years old…oh well, maybe you’ll see it…I’ll check back frequently…Thanks,
