I got 40 magnets at Hobbytown for $6.
I took me a few minutes to cut some small locking washers up for the metal. I tested the strength by placing tape over the bottom to hold the metal in place before final superglue.
Hardest part are the CV’s that are not open on the bottom (drill). (Total time about 15 min for the two sets so far).
I was wondering if anyone had any better ideas for the CV’s that must be cut open on the bottom of the hull.
I would like to see a WW 1 game in 2012-13. Take some time to think it out.
the recent games will keep us busy.
1. Axis and Allies
2. Risk
3. Stratego
4. Monopoly
5. Supremacy from the 1980’s
5. Diplomacy
6. Settlers of Catan (even my wife loves to plays this game)
7. Chess
8. Taboo
9. Pictionary
10. Trivial Pursuit
Thread should be here. Much more traffic. I go weeks without going to the Harris site. I think the volume back me up here.
Has anyone been placing magnets on CV’s. Any suggestions?
I could not take it anymore with the large Tac.Bombers. Here is my first attempt.
AA gun will likely take out at least one aircraft.
(UK should move its tac. bomber to Uk if all German air force is intact and block sz with DD to negate German BB, CA support)
Some of the German Tact bombers start losing the “4” on Rd2, the odds start to swing to the allies if you run a single round simulations after that point.
I do not see how all aircraft stay intact after the naval battles on G1 and none gets killed by AA gun on G2.
The first Sea Lion roll is more important than ever for the Germans which puts Sea Lion attack below 50% It could go down to 30% since one land unit must survive. (Frood calc.)
Its like an onside Kick in a football succeeding. See it once (G 1) but not usually two in a row (G2)
I still think that German TR builds are needed to to distract UK, thus help Italian Navy, support Barb and support Norway in the long run
It is not listed directly at AV downloads? Hard to find because it is under the games section. Choose AA50 and you will see the downloads for manual and FAQ.

Here is the link for the AA50 manual.

IF G1 builds are a CV and 2 TR and with good outcomes in the g1 naval attacks
then
UK must build 9 inf
They will have at min. 11 inf (one french) 3 fig, maybe 1 tact in the UK
(If the G1 sz 106 attack fails, then 1 arm, 1inf extra)
vs
Likely G2 Sea Lion attempt of 3 inf, 3 Arm, 2 fig, 2 tact, 1 bomber. (BB and CA fire support could be blocked by UK DD)
If I am wrong, I would just add one more UK inf in the UK at the start ……Before making major changes to the game
If u mean SZ 110. Would the G2 naval attack and Sea Lion turn be this?
Germany: sz 112 BB,CA, CV, 2 Fig.
help On land nearby 2 Tact, 1 Bomber. assume no subs left
Vs
UK: sz 109 CA,CV, 2 fig 3 DD
======================== looks roughly 75% naval victory with a 75-80% land victory ?
I must have missed something.
I am waiting to see if Japan avoids attacking on J1 with most players in the Global game vs the Pacific alone.
Germany and Italy need some breathing room in Europe.
I use plexiglass to cover most or all of the board.
If it is a small section sticking up, then I use a small paper wt
Got any more decal pictures of other powers?

Instead of counterattacking the UK med fleet, I am thinking of moving the Italian fleet (if sz97 is not touched) to sz98 and take Cyprus.
Build one Fig for Italy.
If the UK chases, then the German air power could threaten the Uk fleet or Italy could counter on I2
Men on Cyprus could move to Egypt or Alexandria on I2 if it is not beefed up.Why Cyprus? Why not Syria?
Either would be fine, depending on the forces available in Egypt to counterstrike and the location of the TR that started in sz98. It might be in the Red Sea.
Syria might be better in order to move into Pro Axis Iraq.

thanks, I did not put the air base/naval/factories up yet
Will a German bomber to sz 98 alter the med. enough? with 7 moves, it could land in Tobruk (a Draw or win is a victory.)
Will the dominos fall in which sz 95 has more UK casualties and sz97 is saved?
One less UK Cruiser for attacks on Italy?
if the USA goes all Europe, then Japan will take Honolulu and the rest of the Pacific and likely Cairo.
Germans DO NOT need Moscow in order for the Axis to achieve 14 VC.
It is not likely that the UK will take out Italy’s 97 fleet on round 1. tough odds with only a fig and cruiser
Fleet could move away or build a DD to block. Germans could counter if the UK/French combined fleet stays in sz95/93
Murmansk Convoy runs were intercepted around Norway.
