anyone else want to start an aa50?

soldat, you still looking for an opponet?  aa50?

thanks krieg, i think i will.  looks kinda different, just from the back of the box.  only 5 islands, must be lots of naval and air stuff going on.

i have chance to buy GC for twenty bucks, brand new.  is it worth it?  i have never played GC.  played pacific, europe, and d-day, enjoyed them all, till AA50 came out.  AA50 is all  i play now.  so should i buy GC for $20, if nothing else but for the pieces?

sounds like the “Supremacy” game, zooma.

oh jeez, nm,  apparently ‘piss off’ means ‘you are not doing it right, dumb *ss’.  i got it working now.  wow, that’s a little different.  it has been years since i played revised, and even then i only played a couple of times.  i am looking forward to playing now.

good work to everyone who is working on the ‘new’ 42 game.

is there a current file for abattlemap for 42?  if so could someone link it please.  i tried the one on the first page and the computer told me to piss off. :cry:

my suggestion to you is to either play a pbf game, or check some of them out.  this will give you ideas,  what to do if allies are SBRing you to pieces, and what to do offensively & defensively.  i have played as the allies, bombing the crap out of germany, and still lost.  i have played as the axis, being on the recieving end of the bombings, and still won.  check out the other games bud, it will help.  if you like, we can start a game just to have a little walk through.  imo, japan is the key to an axis victory,  germany and italy just help out, sometimes alot.  good luck.  and go for radar or improved factories.  SBRs wont bother you any more if you can get both of those.  just $5 each turn till you hit something.

if jap takes india on J2 combat, can jap move aa gun from ind to bur on J2 ncm?

hey j, next time you set your board up, either 41 or 42, could you take a pic of that and post it.  everything looks great, but i was wondering what it would all look like setup.

been a loooong time since i bought a dvd.  and one worth $25 is like a christmas gift.  but an a&a game at 25 bucks…ok i might (probably) buy.  even a crappy a&a game(d-day?) is better than most movies.  if nothing else, i just paid 30 bucks for more pieces for my aa50 game.    :-D

yes but then you’ll get a chance to shoot down his bombers with something that rolls def at at least 2.  unless you have some bomber on bomber action going on…

hmmm…not sure about the rest of you, but i think i will save my money and NOT be buying this “new” aa42.  it looks like the same map as revised & the pieces are not that new, the “new” german cruiser looks like the “old” UK cruiser.  a new russian battleship?  woohoo!! has anyone ever bought a russian battleship?  i dont know folks, looks like they just had a bunch of old boards and pieces laying around and threw them in a new box and stamped $50 on it.  i’ll pass.  maybe if this one doesnt leave the shelves, they will get their heads together and make a “new” one worth a crap.  but thats just my thoughts…

if USA gets radar, buy about 3 aa guns.  put 1 in the UK, 1 in russia and 1 in cau.  that will help keep the axis from SBRing uk and Russia to death.  seems whenever i try for tech with the US, i always get radar first.  some people say “worthless tech for USA”. i say not.  send the aa gun from washington to london first, then get some over to russia.

i have read somewhere (here?)  that someone started doing that.  china goes first, then regular.  after the US is done, money and all, china starts the new round again.  seemed to work for them, sounded like a good idea to me.  i plan to try it next time i play f2f.

i have not used a UK factory in Norway often.  IF i put an IC in nor, it’s usually US.

an allied win in 41 can be tough.  my strategies always depend on the axis turns. my first turn with russia is almost always a regroup, defend, attack type thing.  for me russia doesnt go on offense till her 4th turn usually.

if jap has bad J1 in pacific,  then i try to use USA in pacific mostly, with a UK IC in SAF or (sometimes not often) AUS, the allies can really slow down japans march towards russia.

if germany has a bad first turn, then its off to the atlantic.  i like to let the UK take NOR and FIN just for the extra 5ipc, they need it.  with US, i will usually go towards ALG. bmrs for the US is a must.  how many?  depends what else you need. at least 1 to send to UK.  keep sbr ger and italy.

i love it when ger buys boats.  usually pretty easy to sink, and that means less arm towards rus.  try to build up the UK navy and keep the fleet together with americans if possible.  i usually let ger take kar first turn.  no sense in letting all the russians die for it.  move the ruskies to fin or arc for counter attack.

if ger and jap both have a good first turn…well good luck, i usually dont win those games. :-D

thanks again.

can a sub move into a hostile sea zone & submerge with no attack if no destroyers are present?

can a tank move 1, load onto a transport, then unload all in same turn?

no , i meant AA guns in territories, sorry i thought thats what tt meant.  not transports.

for example - germans have radar tech, an AA in fra & germany, and italy has an AA.  if UK sbr ita, then ger AA in fra gets a shot at 1 as bmrs fly over fra.  if uk was to sbr ger and for some reason fly over fra, then AA in fra gets a roll at 1, and AA in ger gets a roll at 2.

make sense?
