@blakeadam who are you talking to?

As Japan try bomber , fighter and 2 infantry against the second chinese area. my pet move

@Death_FromAbove When you say “meet me” what does that entail exactly? I play by forum for the most part so is that what you mean? Or are you thinking of playing live?

My preference is the following: 2nd edition rules, no bid, RR, no IC (all rules from the OoB rules)
+strict neutrals (as mentioned in my YouTube video)

I haven’t played 3rd edition since the computer game came out. In my opinion that would be quite a different game than what I’m familiar with. If you insist though, I’ll play a Utah with you if you play my pref above?

Re: Axis and Allies Classic 10 part series on YouTube

I’ve added another AnA Classic video on my YouTube channel. This one is a detailed look at Russia Restricted and why it’s needed. You can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTIXI3DgIVg&feature=youtu.be

@Panther thank you sir

@AcesWild5049 Usually this is nothing on your side. Might be a temporary server issue. I have successfully tested posting some seconds ago, so please test again.
Be sure to have set up a correct topic-id.

@the_good_captain

All my boards are on 5mm foamex boards.
Waterproof, fade proof, and really hard wearing

Wow. I had inquired in previous threads on this forum and had only been directed to versions that had multiple personal touches on them. This is way better than mine! Lol, I’ll take it though.

Do you have any guidance on printing your own map? I hear neoprene is pretty sharp.

Hello all!

I have decided to rebut Don’s essays on Axis and Allies classic in a ten part series on YouTube. You can check out the first video (in two parts) by clicking on the link below:

My intent is to release one part every week over the next ten weeks. I hope this gets some folks to break out the classic again!

@dizzkneeland33 said in Axis and Allies Classic 10 part series on YouTube:

omg, seriously, let me tell you, from my own experience, that a 2 IC build for the british is suicide against a good Axis player. Period.

dizzkneeland33, if this is your view on The_Good_Captain’s 2 IC strategy for UK, then just play him as the Axis and prove it. I would love to hear about the results. Classic rules with Russia Restricted and he agrees to play the 2 IC strategy. It sounds like you both believe you would be at an advantage in this setup, so what’s preventing you from playing?

@Midnight_Reaper

thanks for the reference Reaper. I found the sentence missing from my “updated” rulebook that I downloaded. I’m bookmarking this page and reprinting my rulebooks.

Page 19 Step 3: “As many hits as possible must be assigned. For instance, if 1 cruiser and 2 submarines attack a carrier with a fighter and score 3 hits, the defender must assign the cruiser hit to the fighter and the submarine hits to the carrier. The defender may not assign the cruiser hit to the carrier, as the subs cannot hit the fighter and 1 sub hit would be lost.”

These three sentences would not be necessary if sequential column rolling of the dice were part of the core rules as is such in Classic.

Thanks again!

Planning to come for OrcCon in Feb

@scmods said in Axis and allies classic enhanced 2.0:

Your pieces look great.
What kind/brand of paint did you use?
Did you brush paint or use an airbrush?

Thanks! This video should answer everything but in short I used Tamiya’s spray paints except for the Japanese. They got the airbrush.

@CWO:

From page 7 of the Europe 1940.2 rulebook:

Plastic Chips
[…]
If you don’t have enough pieces to top off all your stacks, use any identifying item, such as a piece of paper with the unit type written on it. The number of stacks is not limited by the number of plastic pieces available.

CWO Marc FTW. thank you!

@AcesWild5049:

Still trying to post some photos and running into difficulty. I’ve posted 10 times to prove I’m not spam but still get this message:

"Your attachment couldn’t be saved. This might happen because it took too long to upload or the file is bigger than the server will allow.

Please consult your server administrator for more information."

I would really like to share my photos! Please help!

If your files are less than 1536 KB and in jpg or png format it should work (max. two per posting as attachment).

Maybe it is easier to upload them to an image hoster (for example postimages.org) and embed the links. In this case you can comment on every photo that becomes part of the posting (instead of simply attach them to your posting).

The issue has been addressed, thank you for pointing it out.
