Sorry, only once :-P

HELP!!  I cannot open the .aam maps from the DAAK server.  I get the msg, “Not Signed”.  What’s going on?  I reinstalled my ABattlemap, in case I’d messed something up, but I still get the same reject.

Any cures, patches, etc would be appreciated.

Hey, Balungaloaf,  You had it on the last posting. You just need to leave out any spaces.  Run everthing together.

I have to agree, Switch.  Too many possible environments in the universe for there not to be life of some sort.  I also agree with the dolphins and whales being the intelligent agents of thisk planet.

It reminds me of a long-ago quote from Sgt Snorkel (Beatle Bailey cartoons), “I can’t believe all these people are running around with noone in charge.”

Most civilians have no concept of military life.  I think for the most part that civilians are “insane” to the military and vise versa.  Two completely opposite planes of existence.

I, too, think Italy is the favorite.  The only goal against them is their ‘own goal’ against USA.  It’s too bad France can’t fight this well in wars.  LOL

:-D  Thanks for the support, guys.  The original thread was whether destruction of UK navy was possible.  I posted the answer that it CAN be done, not that it SHOULD be done.  Lots of Luftwaffe would probably bite the dust, and G would be in dire straits.

:-(  Yes, G can wipe out the British Navy on G1, if it wants to apply its resources to that battle.  Lots of Luftwaffe!

Good question JSP.  I’m glad we have some pretty sharp knives in this drawer!  I for one appreciate the knowledge and research you “answer people” put into the forum. :-D

Having 4/6 inf and 2/3 arm in Africa is flirting with weakening the eastern front for G.  If R has good dice, that could be costly.  If G’s dice are rolling well, it would work nicely. :-)

@frimmel:

Wait I found it. It is on page 26!!! “you must follow through unless the fighter or the carrier is destroyed before then.”

That only makes sense.  The requirement to continue to the original sz is dismissed, as the fighters all were destroyed before the move.

Good question 8-)

:? Mo, like Darth says, Germany can’t take you out on turn 1!  He can take your navy, but not London.  Fortify with some more land materiel and slap around whoever is playing A.  Tell them you need some help!  A can provide fighters, a bomber and land materiel.  In addition R can start putting pressure in the east, since G’s sending most of the stuff your way.

You can’t win it alone, but you have allies that should be able to save you.

I think G is the most intuitive.  Go full bore and kill something!  UK and J require more finesse.  R is trying to buy time, and A is the supply depot.

Like others have said, it just depends on what you feel like at the time. :-D

:|Pretty risky limitedwhole!  You may be buying an IC for Japan, if you can’t defend it quickly :-o

Solo,
An observation:  Don’t try to be Billy Bada$$, when you’ve never won a game.

@Solomaxwell:

I was distracted, and playing against an unforgiving player that wouldn’t let me rectify my error once I began to move a piece. This was all played past midnight; I’d like to see you even try to touch me when I’m at top game.

Advice:  Take to heart the advice from limitedwhole.  Play the game, even if it’s just a scenerio, and practice until the turn segments become second nature.  Remember to use your materiel, as you would use chess pieces.  They must work together to be effective.

Good-luck

Hamar, it seems that your have an “all you eggs in one basket” approach to AA.  A good player will hurt you badly with this type strategy.  Good-luck.

Yeah, and what about the stars breakdown?

:|Children!  Children!  Play nice, or you’ll have to come inside.

I agree, U-505.  Any additional IC is a money pit!  Germany just has to devote materiel to support and protect the new IC, when more pressing concerns exist.  Japan has need for the new IC, because its original placement value is so low and the additional problem of tranny’s required to get troops to the mainland.

Yes, the restriction for unit placement can be a pain, but it does make the strategy and tactics more important.  You can’t just load up an area and attack (like Risk).
