The “big pieces” bmp file I was using for AAR and AA50 doesn’t seem to be compatible with the AAP ABattlemap file (the country flags/unit become scrambled). Is there a “Big Pieces” file for AAP.

Thanks in advance!

I just started playing around with AAP. I tried importing the big pieces into the AAP file folder, but they apparently weren’t designed for AAP, and it messes up the arrangement of countries. Anyone have any suggestions?

I never said the Baltic Fleet was good for nothing. I always make sure every Baltic boat gets a shot at something in their exciting, put short, lifetimes.

The basic problem is that IPC’s used to make the Baltic Fleet safe from annihilation are IPC’s that are not going toward units to hit Russia. Also, the US and UK can outspend Germany on boats and acft to kill them, so it is an arms race Germany cannot win.

Building up the Baltic fleet may delay a UK/US landing in Africa or Europe, but the time you buy cannot be exploited very well because you weren’t buying enough ground units when you were building boats.

If you are not hitting Russia hard enough on the first couple of turns, he has a way of building a massive infantry wall that prevents any further serious German expansion east. If your overall strategy has Germany going somewhere else besides Russia in the pursuit of territory and IPCs, then maybe there’s merit to a German Navy, but I’m not seeing it right now.

@Funcioneta:

KGF means even more axis victories.

Okay, I’ll bite. I don’t see a whole lot of folks touting KJF as a primary strategy. Are you then referring to KIF, or something else? For my part, I just kind of lump Germany and Italy together and consider going after either as KEF (kill Europe first).

Well, that not too far away.  I haven’t played a lot of A&A, but I’ve got copies of AA50, BotB, AAR, and will soon add Pacific to my collection. Let me know next time your group is getting together, and maybe I can stop in. I’ve got family visiting this coming weekend, so that would probably not be a good time.

@souL:

I head up a group of about 6 players in NWI.

Where do you get together and how often? Which version of A&A do you play?

If we get close to 32, you can also create a handful of “bye” brackets. Also, is there any thoughts about creating separate “novice” and “experienced” brackets so the new guys don’t get blown out round 1?
