@bb82:

I’m glad I never got into AA50. I figured I’d wait a year or two and see what is out there. AA50 isn’t really even for sale anymore.

AA42 will most likely be what people play for the next decade. But just like the original, many will still play AAR for years to come.

You can find good AAR strategies and opponents at GTO, www.gametableonline.com. The site is always improving and should even have a save game option in the next month or so. It already has a facebook version that uses a save game system, http://apps.facebook.com/axisandallies/.

It doesn’t have a full bidding system in place, but it does have preselectable options for bids. It has about 10 at the moment and should have about 50 in a couple weeks at the latest.

Hey I also use the facebook app for axis and allies. Because its the only place I can really get a game and is alot easier to set-up  :wink:

Hi Iv’e only played a few times, but I build 1 in India to help america. So I can sen more transports to help land on pacific Islands and to help the americans with keeping china, and russia with the east. I only do this If i have enough $$$ to do so. Also I build subs and other things to attack Jap sea units.

This strategy has worked 2/2 times so far (only put another Ic for uk that many times) im  gonna try it again in this game.

Sadly it backfires if they take india (japan) then you could get screwed (happened to my opponent when I was Axis.

Operation: Market Garden

Background
September 17,1944. In an Allied Attempt to get into Germany the allies made the largest Airborne Operation in History. Sadly It ended in faliure. It consisted of the American 101st and 82d Airborne Divisions the British 1st Airborne division with the Polish 1st IPB and the Dutch Resistance. The objective was to secure many bridges in the Netherlands and Germany.

Choosing Sides and building armies
Roll 2D6 the higher # is German 59th ID the lower is the 101st Airborne.
Armies are bought in platoons
Army sizes 175 (101) and 125 (59)

The map used needs to include a road, a bridge and the town of Son.
The 101st must drop on the opposite side of the bridge 6 hexed from the edge.
The 59th ID can start in the, bridge or 7 hexes from the edge of the map.
The recon unit is deployed 2 hexes from the 101st

Objetives
The 101st wins if they take the bridge and at least 1 group of city hexes.
The germans win if they blow the bridge with there Pioneers.(pioneers deploy on their edge of the map on turn 6)
The 59th ID wins if they keep the 101st from complete their objectives.

got it done a while ago and my cousins have it.

I did a rough breakdown of what a unit costs in box of 9. I was suprised. If all were the same they would be $1.11. but I knew Commons and uncommons and rares dont have the same value. This was done quickly (roughly).
I figured that you get in a box of nine(9) you get: 5 common, 3 uncommon and 1 rare.

The price I came up with (which could be made in to a percent for trades ;) to make it easier) are as follows
Common $.68
Uncommon $1.20
Rare $2.00

Wait ill get a percentage breakdown (for trade like points :IE a common is worth so many rares .000005) not really but here
Common:0.34 of rare or 6 commons = 1 rare 0.56 of an uncommon so 2 common = 1 uncommon
Uncommon: .60 so less than 2 uncommon = 1 Rare and for common has been done
Rare all has been done.
WOW on paper …CComuper! Its much diffrent than I thought.
At first for anything i thought 2 common=1 uncommon (true) and 4 common or 2 uncommon=1 rare. This estimate was close though.

I allways saw it as 4 common,2 un common and 1 rare= 7 but for the other to my cousins have always debated over the other 2… not as what they were but WHAT they wer(fot the pyramid)
They said that u could trade up for 2 rares with 1 common/uncommon (1 of each)
but I said trade up for rares and other cards you dont have for cards you have extras of.

EXTRAS DO COME IN HANDY!

OH AND AN IMPORTANT NOTE: just because its common or uncommon,etc isnt true 4 u because There are many commons i need but uncommons ill have like 3 of.

JUST THOUGHT id add my 2c so if you want to post your breakdowns then please due so.

P.S my cousin I plan on buying these from won’t check the work or probably won’t even notice… but im going to try and buy them from him at:
Common $0.50
Uncommon $1
Rare $1.25

Of course certain units ill pay more or less for (like mausers I have 4 of but Mosin/Nagants I have 0 of) clearly will make a diffrence.

Hi all I was wondering how u all felt about heavy weapons. An Adjacent unit to a dead unit can pick up a heavy weapon. IE u need more firepower for ur task force/squad, so u see a Mg42 and kill the operatoe and an M1 Riflemen picks it up. Say during causualties if some unit dies near ur units w/ a heavy weapon roll a 5or a 6 to pick up (for time and being able to find it after word0 DOES ANYONE Want to comment?

@Audacity:

Test guy,

I like the basic look of what you’re doing here and applaud the campaign plan.  For my Canadian heritage I might follow a Canadian unit through the Italian Campaign.

Unfortuanately, I’m unable to play any games until late May as my job has me half a world away from my playing pieces.

I’ll give these a try this summer.

Audacity

Just wondering if you have tried it also Ill end this Campaign here Im actually working on a new scenario

@Imperious:

Get over yourself.  Do you ever eat fast food?  That “cuisine” will never achieve culinary excellence like a 5 star restaurant.  Do you run marathons and have an Olympic athlete’s physique?  Do you actually ever contribute anything in your posts, or do you feel it necessary to knock everything, even off topic?

Thanks for making my points for me. People should strive for better things. Also, I feel most of your posts are nearly always responding to the same people with your own “disagreements”. As for me i don’t like mediocrity and thats not a negative trait, but a positive commitment to do better things. I have heard your own case of generalization that i am negative toward ‘everything’ which i find somewhat amusing. Its also a funny that your always complaining about anything that’s posted which is contrary to your own belief to the point where you keep attacking it, and you have hijacked your own thread with constant questions and reposts. A positive person as you claim you are would just let an opinion fly because thats why we are here to discuss ideas and they may not all be to your liking, so stop attacking me and making accusations. I have not once ‘attacked’ your position that you find the comic book movies mentally stimulating, but have only defended against your and a few others jarbs.

Ill leave this thread open, but if you continue to post more posts where you involve me or my opinion, ill have it closed because it was you that derailed it yet again. I am also tired of answering your comments.

@Jermofoot:

@Imperious:

A great number of people could argue that activly participating on a forum for a board game would be childish yet here we are.

Thats why i design them and not really play them, because i find it more interesting to help people who:

1. cant make nifty maps and artwork but have a need for it
2. help solve some of the problems of realism in these games and find new solutions
3. Playing a game can be a mental struggle which does not ruin a good mind. Thats why i also play Chess and Poker… but i can never find anything with comics stimulating whatsoever.

I also saw this crappy movie and aside from alternating scenes of people getting their arms cut, face smashed in, the most vulgar violence and gratuitous sex at every 5 minutes period i rate the movie as the greatest artwork ever created in film and it will undoubtedly lead to the most positive cultural development in the last 100 years.

I think it will lead to world peas.

Your sarcasm is spot on since they obviously made this movie to achieve “world peas.”

Get over yourself.  Do you ever eat fast food?  That “cuisine” will never achieve culinary excellence like a 5 star restaurant.  Do you run marathons and have an Olympic athlete’s physique?  Do you actually ever contribute anything in your posts, or do you feel it necessary to knock everything, even off topic?

There is nothing wrong with comic books, The Watchmen, or people enjoying either.  There is, however, something the matter with you when you beat a topic to death, when no one asked or cared to know your opinion in the first place.

I know it won’t change the fact that you will continue to be a judgmental hypocrit, but I’m done with it anyway so it doesn’t matter.

I enjoyed the movie.  I’m glad you didn’t and wasted your money. Thanks for supporting movies you find inferior and that you weren’t going to see anyway.

@LT04:

IL and I have had disagreements over the past 2 years but they have never involved politics.  I express my opinion and I learn something new when he expresses his.

Not to say he converts me to his side always but I walk away with a new understanding and gain a new respect from his point of view.  I hope it works both ways.

OMFG does this deal with the movie the watchmen?

Nothing to do here.
Infact the funnest thing to do with my friends here is. Walk around and talk.
We can fish but……You can only catch a trout if you are lucky so…Not me I think from 9 years of fishing ive caught mabye 2 trout. The rest probably 14 junk fish.

Well once…I dud somthing fun here. But that was kind of akward…I don’t think I should talk about it. I would probably get this topic messed up…Kinda like me!

@Guerrilla:

@testguy:

you decribed my friends to but not really me. I’m going to by 14 in a week I love ww2.

LOL! Jen’s point proven… We’re glad buddy. Congrats on the Birthday…

GG

Whats that mean!

I think the point of this topic has worn out. We need to start a new topic called Comics = Kids and old people who want to be young?

I think this Arguing needs to stop here before this turns political snd I know if not stopped this will become political.

got alot more units for germany its now my largest nation but only a few more russian troops have been added

@Audacity:

Looks like you need to hit the library for some books.  Obviously with the amount of army pieces you have so far you need to be creative.  I’d play any pieces I had to make it a bigger army.  Playing is better than being historically correct.

Ive hit the books some but still can’t find out much about it
My cousins forgot for a while but I reminded them that I got it in the works

pulled off 9/10 dice

thanks theres more ill put more on this week infact this is only half in this campaign.
I also have more campaigns. Probably 1 and 1/3

Map needs Many city hexes,Few hills and a couple trees

Victory is decided by VP’s

1 VP for each Infantry they destroy /- 1/2 you loose
3 VP’s for each Viechle they destroy / -1 1/2 you loose
Allies get 5 Vp’s if Infantry ever arrive in the town hexes
Axis get 5 VP’s if Infantry never enter the towns

Towns start on Axis side axis can start in and behing the towns

In scenario 2 the Italian army is counter-attacking
Italy 125 pts
Americans 100 pts

With More German resistance it will tougher. Considering many of your own units are Brand new to the Campaign.
German Troops have almost eclipsed the Italian army. Italians are mainly part of a German Squad

USA wins if they survive till turn 8
Italy wins if they destroy 75% of american forces ands occupy 1 hex of each of :Hill,City and shellholes
OR destroy all US forces

Just like the last one tell me what needs clarifications or changes

@Obergruppenfuhrer:

@Motdc:

Not much of an aircraft person, but I think its a first-strike type ability right?

Well it says once per game you can declare a speed boost and the results of the combat are resolved immediately. I have NO idea what this means.

Im guessing that instead of staying on the whole turn;which alows for aa attacks. Im guessing it returns after the flight and airstrike phases.
