Larry - can you please create some type of treatment program…I am an addict!

Low luck is not cool….must have random chaos!

As stated by me elsewhere in the forums….It might be worth trying the US as a split income like the UK…the only difference being that they can choose which theatre to spend the NO in…

Still gives them plenty of direction to where they want to spend…but not quite all of it…

It would be nice if the US had a split income like UK….with the N.O. spent in either theatre
Keeps it a little more balanced, but gives the US a chance to go more one way then the other.  Just my opinion…

Ok - I am quite an idiot when it comes to programming, but….

If all planes and ships had there movement increased by +1…(allows enough for bases)

a version of AAG40 could be made on the TripleA engine… (with updated pcs like cruisers, etc.)

Convoys could be edited out…

Everyone would be on their Honor regarding all of this of course…

at least it would be something…

Don’t get me wrong - battle map is cool, but not nearly as fluid as TripleA…

Go ahead…I am ready for the flaming to begin…

Uhmmm….I don’t even know what to say…I think I broke my calc…nevermind :?

@thomashawk:

Yes, it´s a hard knox life when US comes down there…

But I might have found a way to counter it somewhat…:

• Have Germany (or Italy if possible) bomb the naval base really good in gibraltar every round. UK need to repair it, and that will put a strain on their economy.
• AND if the Italians bomb it also, the UK can not repair in time for the US to benefit from the naval base.
• THis is in germanys core interest, as i helps protect Denmark, Norway
• It slows US naval movement back to US significantly
• Italian areas are not that easily threathened
• US cannot move rapidly to UK either

Is it worth it? Let me hear your so-called 2 cents (which most of the time is several hundreds of bucks on these forums;)

Good night from Norway,
Hauken

Been waiting for someone to put this out there…first game played = a big mess…2nd game played = italy fleet dead/us all over africa…3rd game = bombing the crap out of gib, US AA was there in a hurry though.

I would like mine with wheels…and a beverage cooler (the foam should make nice insulation) :-D

Wow…sorry you don’t agree.  Lose one to many AA50 games?  You seem to have a grudge against it.  My grudge is just against WOTC…

and you are proving my point…no damage markers or tech tokens in AAE/P40…you got MORE in AA50…

@reloader-1:

Plastic,

Go back and look at your vaunted AA50 set. I own several copies, and the plastic is worse in the AA50 set, the maps, while having no creases, are microscopically thin, and the only real advantage is slightly better cardstock than the 1940 games (and with the new E1940, even that is a push). What are the advantages again?

The 1940 series has better pieces, more pieces, and more variety of pieces. A larger and thicker map, the same storage system, and a more useful box size.

There are only 2 minor problems with the 1940 series. No paper money, and no plastic factories.

Are you seriously not buying a game for those two problems?

And online prices for both at release where $60 and $80.

I did say retail prices.  And at least it was all plastic - no tokens. And the boxes had dividers in them. And they tops looked cool.  And you got set-up cards with all the NO’s on them. And I did buy them. Both. I was stating that I would not by another new game from WOTC knowing how chincy they are…key word another NEW game - like not an Axis and Allies game…because I think it would be just as chincy…

One is a really fun and exciting game!  So is the other!

Just depends on how much time you have on your hands….
If you are a young man, with no wife, children, job, school, desire to eat or sleep, than AAG40 is for you!  You can play this as an older chap also…just make sure to make arrangements to have a table set-up at your funeral so that your comrades can finish the game! (your kids can roll for you…)

UBER ALLES…in time…

My idea would be for them to stop churning out stuff that is so inconsistent!
90% looks great, the last 10% is the cheapest, chinsiest crap they could find.
Card board tokens?!?!?  Look at AA50 - great game, great pcs, well designed package and storage, all for an extra ten bucks! (assuming you paid retail of $100 for AA50 & $90.00 for AAE40/AAP40)

Not a great way to build a fan base.  I play AA because I have been doing so since the 80’s.  I would not buy another, new WOTC game, because I know it will be made from leftover chinese milk jugs and eggroll wrappers (probably be lucky to get the recycled eggroll wrappers - AAP40 tokens vs. AAE40 tokens…)  And, if they did not have Larry to develop this game it would probably be about as exciting as playing with tinker toys for ten hours! (Hell - the tinker toys are of better quality)

Very handy…Thanks

Dude…a Puss Filled Wart?  That is just wrong…gross… :-o

Oh…and you are dead right…way too much complaining the past week…

I’d appreciate it if you didn’t bait me into flaming you…that is not allowed  :-)

I got a spanking too….did not hurt very much…but my cheeks sure are red… :-D

Tiger - Time is the question here….if you only have so much time, stick with AA42 or AA50.  If you have a place to setup the game and leave it, so you can play the game over a couple of different sessions, I HIGHLY recommend AAG40.  The first couple of times you play it can be daunting, but the strategies are so much more varied and the board/pcs are fantastic!  I think Imperious Leader has the right idea, (except for the buying 6 copies part…) buy AAE40 to get used to it, and make your decision from that point…

Have fun!

These look great. Thanks for your effort!
