@scottish:

Looking for a game of 41 or 42 using ABattlemap. Yes-NO’s, prefer not to play with tech as I am newer to the game. Wouldn’t mind using either axis or allies, or we can roll for sides.

i would like to play. i will pm you.

jeez waldo looks like a pretty small town.  i bet the fishing is good.

where’s waldo?  lol  :-D just feels funny asking.

well said, like the italy thing too.

you are all right.  if only you could work together china could take over the world.

i really like the idea of china going first, US going last.  gonna have to try it.

great pix craig.  nice to put faces with the names.  +1 to you.

you bet yoshi.  how about 41, tech, NOs on.  you can be allies.  if all goes well we can try a 42 when we finish.  sound good?

anyone for aa50? not picky , sides or tech,  prefer NO’s on.

yep go hawks.  hope fully they can beat minnesota.  i smell trouble though.

played my first in 1991.  a friend and i worked at mcD’s and the boss said come on over and play. we were 15 and  he was new in town and got us hooked.  he has since moved on, but that same friend and i play aa50 almost twice a week.  we lost some interest during revised, got into again during AAE and AAP, but aa50 has been “The Game”.  i am now 33, and my 8 y/o daughter and 2y/o son are getting into it.  she plays(kinda) and he loves to just play with the pieces.

seems every time i play allies, f2f, with tech, i always get super subs.  so i buy lots of subs over the next few turns, like say 10 of them.  and you know honestly, they never do me any damn good.  i guess maybe, forces jap to buy dd, which keeps boots and tracks of asia, but still.  yet every time i get super subs….

those damn National Objectives can be really hard to obtain.  seems like i never get any of the three British ones.

This dude knows what he’s talking about.

now i dont know about that, :)  thanks anyhow gamer

pbf is pretty easy.  i was skeptical at first too, give me the board and dice.  then i played a pbf, (my face to face partner was away for two weeks, needed a fix), it was fun.  if you download abattlemap, its like having a board.  the one thing i dont like is not having the dice in my hand, mojo you know.  i suggest you try it.  well worth the time, and i have learned a lot by playing various other players.  easy to get going, although abattlemap is a little tricky to get the hang of.  just download it and mess around with moving pieces, flagging countries and NOs, deleting pieces, etc.  the map keeps track of ipc, tech, turns, all of it.  and if there is ever a discrepency, you can go back to previous posts to chack on things.  if you would like, we can start a game and just go through a round or two just to get the hang of it.  i can help walk you through the map stuff.  map is the most important item in pbf.

no, i guess it wouldnt really work pbf.  not with the combat sequence.

combat sequence is giving me a hard time.  so far i really like the game, sure is different though.  damn combat sequence.  is there GC for abattlemap?

i have a question as to when units are removed.  if Jap is frist player, and does an air attack against US, are the US air casualties removed, THEN the US does its air attack in the same TT?  sorry if i worded it badly
