I think Norway is going to be much more important to Germany under this set up, than it was in Revised. If the AA50-41 info is correct, I’m going to be sinking that British battleship every game, and moving a good portion of the air defense from France to Norway, at least for the first round.  Seems way too easy a kill to pass up, and at least that will shut down any immediate threat to Scandinavia, while still covering Russia and the critical sea zones around the UK/North sea. The situation on the eastern front seems a bit slower on the uptake, especially with no Russian air, so I think its probably best to concentrate on England first.

Right now I’m liking the 8 inf 1 bomber buy for G, since they have very little infantry fodder at the outset. At least according to the current info/set up. Maybe even two rounds worth, before seriously pushing with the armor.

What buys are you guys looking at for Germany?

I am going as the “Big K” for Halloween this year.

you mean this?

what happened to ncscswitch??? he deleted his account as well.  I’ve apparently missed a lot

We got a separate thread for that. The next person who drops out will get his own thread as well. :-D

Actually, A44, England does not “own” them.  Iceland is British territory, but it’s not part of England (as in the same territory.)

The reason for Iceland and Greenland, IMHO, is as a bomber base for long range SBR bombers. (Notice how they are 4 territories from E. USA.)

Theoretically, if Japan owned Hawaii, you could also bomb W. USA from there or land bombers after bombing W. USA or E. USA there.

Of course, I hardly see many opportunities for this.

And one could imagine the day Iceland is used as a staging ground for allied fighters to liberate England one day, seeings as they share a sea zone it would be plausible you could use it to attack England…

The germans are coming no wait thats craig coming to give us a great big smile on all are faces…… :evil:  “never” craig take it back and watches us :cry:

@Sherman:

What would have made the game more interesting is if they changed that rule so that you collect only half of your income, because counterattacks from somewhere else would have been a realistic possibility. Thoughts?

I like this idea, new house rule to pose to the guys.

So the reverse:

If the defender has transports they cant be allocated as hits in any combat round. They are invisible and automatically removed from play provided the non-transports have been removed as combat loses. If the attacker does not stay long enough to kill the last combat ship the defending transports remain in place.

yes its in fact thread.

just checked it out but i dtn wanna play a&a rly on this to boring srry

It’d take a miracle.

If Russia does WRu/Ukr you can stack Kar even without a European bid in most games. Even if Russia has good odds attacking it, its still a good move since Germany can afford to replace its losses whereas Russia can’t.

The most logic and reasonable endgame terms is common sense… you know if (almost certainly) you can’t win, at least experienced players usually does, and probably most AA50 players will already be familiar with AAR or other AA versions.

All neutral countries were guilty of helping a country out ok.  Like imperious said history lesson forum go there. If you want house rules go for it i will allow nuetrals to be attacked and give them an ipc value and a certian amount of units inside each territory.

My example Spain they would have : 4 ipc then they would have somthing like 4-10 inf., 3-4 artillery, 2-3 tanks, 1 fighter (maybe 1 bomber but most likely not).

But neutral attacks bring it i will probably make sure that switzerland will stay neutral for ever because ill give switzerland (2000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000… and so on)

@Richter:

Don’t ask for the cost… :D

Its a collectible minis game after all, but I already have loads of basic infantyr

50+ Mosin Nagants (Russian Soldier)
30+ Arisakas (Japanese Soldiers), MAuser Rifle, SMLE Rifle, M1 Garand Rifle, 20+ Fucile (Italian Soldiers)

Subs are cheap (though no russians so far)

Destroyers are also under a $ per piece

As a minis gamer its affordable to trade away surplus stock for units needed for th game

if you start from Scratch and buy “singles” it will be expensive.

its an option for us who already own many pieces

But for Italians alone: (the online shop I order my pieces)

price per piece
Ambra (Submarine) 0,19$
Luca Tarigo (Destroyer) 0,79$ OR Ugolino Vivaldi (DD) 0,39$
E.F. Duca D’Aosta (CL) 1,79$ OR Eugenio di Savoia (CL) 1,29$
Vittorio Veneto (BB) 7,99$ - are really big - the Giulio Cesare BB is a bit smaller but costs 8,99$
NO CARRIER AVAILABLE ATM
NO TRANSPORT AVAILABLE ATM

C.202 Folgore - fighter 1,39$ - a stand has 3planes that are molded together, but you might be able to cut them…
SM.79 Sparviero - twin engine Bomber 2.59$

Fucile Modello (infantry) 0,49$
47/32 Antitank Gun (Arty) 0,39$
Carro Armato M11/39 2,29$ - L3/35 Tankette 0,59$ (the latter is quite small and currently not available, the foremer relative big)

prices change wwith demand the Rusian Mosin Magant costs around 3 times the Fucile…

How much a nation costs depends largely on how many units of each type you probably will need…

Wow, thank you for those prices;  It looks like I’m sticking with plastic for now  :|

Bombers are 12 and usa gets tostart with 3 for the -42 setup.  Wow man i know it is funny.

The makers are sayind 1 word “Bombing” “BOMBING” “BOMBING”

Wait… they have TWO dice for technologies? That’s something I’d hoped for.

I am beginning to wonder if the Heavy Bomber rule that has some people bent so out of shape is in there to compensate for the large boost that attaining National Objectives gives the Axis.  As a guess, it is going to be easier for the Axis to attain their objectives, and more productive to them than for the Allies to attain their objectives, which do not appear to give them anywhere the same boost.

If any women visited this site, you might have another purpose with that last smilie.

But of course, there are no women on the internet.  :oops:

AA50

and for scenarios:

AA51 AA52

If the FIG is killed, the AC does NOT have to move; and can in fact make any other NCM it wishes.

If the FIG lives, the AC MUST go to the designated SZ to recover the FIG.
