fair enough… my twitchy hand!

@Karl7 UK edit.tsvg

Ok, this should work.

If not let me know.

I just edited the results in. I lost Yunnan hard, but everything else was fine.

If I made any errors let me know.

@Karl7

you mean the game is generally considered imbalanced toward Axis, thus why risk it?

@djensen

No worries, I will post results here.

hey all, been gone for a while, missing it a bit so would like to try to fit a&a into my life again, let’s see if I can do so without overdoing it again by taking on 10 games at a time :)

looking for a single M or E opponent, preferably someone who won’t move too fast and is ok with possibly a slower, once per day turn. Oh, and I am so rusty right now!

Guess who’s back…

BOOM!

@The_Good_Captain

Did I say it was imbalanced?

@djensen

I went back and looked at their press release and website and they are all termed as the “possible” licensing of A&A to Renegade. This was in October. I bet the Renegade lawyers got to look at the books, and well… maybe not such a hot idea after all…

We shall see.

I will note, Renegade doesn’t make any games with plastic units. That would seem to be a pretty big hurdle to me to taking on A&A. At this point, maybe that is just fire and forget for the old stuff as its all subcontracted to China, which has all the old molds and production down pat. But anything new, and easy to see renegade losing its shirt.

@axis-dominion

“rusty right now”…

Words any challenger to the mighty AD will live to regret…

@Entek

So I have the honor of leading the Russians to final victory?

Nice.

It will work, this time!

@The_Good_Captain

Ha! I remember that. This game never got the attention it deserved. You defeated me pretty handily last game. The allies have 40+ econ advantage which seems like doom in long run unless Germany can rush Moscow.

Well, I can be allies next game and see what happens

@djensen said in Have you guys seen this big anouncement for A&A?:

@karl7 Well, Renegade already does GI Joe, Transformers, and My Little Pony for Hasbro. A&A should be “easy.”

Maybe there’s acquisition talks? (Now, I’m just starting unfounded rumors, lol).

Yeah, I know nothing other than that the press release etc were careful to note they “were in talks”… nothing certain.

But deals take time, so maybe it’s just hammering them out. I suspect A&A is probably one of the more top heaving franchises in terms of production, especially the 1940 games. So maybe renegade is just being careful? LOL.

You are right, though, they do make minis… I was wrong on that.

Great to have you back A-D.

Just a suggestion but a number of players didn’t want to accept your forfeits. Why don’t you pick one of them back up? I’m sure they’d be up.

Correct! AD is free to pick our last game anytime!

@Elrood

Russia is up!

Can it do anything?

I recite a poem:

Brothers shall fight
and fell each other,
And sisters’ sons
shall kinship stain;
Hard is it on earth,
with mighty whoredom;
Axe-time, sword-time,
shields are sundered,
Wind-time, wolf-time,
ere the world falls;
Nor ever shall men
each other spare.

Voluspa, lines 41-45.

I like A&A revised…

@oysteilo

ha no, I just made some big mistakes that were laughable as though I was sleeping

@Elrood

sad

@The_Good_Captain

I assume your 3 subs in the USSR convoy will fight my USSR sub and transport?

good discussion

I assumed the Baltimore’s advanced radar fire-control system would allow it to pulverize the Scheer, even if the Scheer was in firing range.

Wiki states:

The Baltimore class was equipped from the start with electronic fire control systems to determine the fire-parameters by which targets over the horizon could be hit. The main guns were controlled by a Mark 34 fire control system connected to an MK 8 radar. The anti-aircraft guns were guided by Mk 37 systems with Mk-4 radar.

Along similar lines, there was a heavy debate about Iowa class vs Yamato class.  Iowa class wins, because of far superior radar fire control.
