Iron Blitz

@ncscswitch:

But again, that is a Revised rule, not Classic.

And Mattylite, just making sure which version you have…  If you have the Milton Bradley Game Masters game from the 1980’s, you have Classic.  If you have the Avalon Hill version (your game board has numbers in the sea zones) then you have Revised, and would want to look in that topic area for answers to any other questions you may have.

I think it was all clear when he mentioned this :D There are no West-Russia or Belorussia in Classic :P

@mattylite:

Or a not-so-abstract example: Say I’m Germany and I have 10 tanks in Belorussia.  USSR has a couple infantry in West Russia.  On my turn, can I:  1.) send three or so tanks to kill those West Russians

Marines attack for 3 when they are part of an amphib. assualt. Destroyers are immune to surprise attacks by subs and they can attack air units.

I think this is the wrong section to post this conversation in, but i’m new here so i’m not sure….

Well, about your problem…

Windows200 is a bit gamingly challenged… i’ve had this happen for the short time i had it with Diablo II and MOHAA… i’d simply use XP

After playing both versions, by far the Iron Blitz version is much much better, if not for the simple fact you can basically setup the game in any manner you wish. Just having the marines changes the way you do things in the game, the way you think thing through and whatnot. Plus as a bonus the AI isn’t completely horrid, it still is dumb and can be destroyed rather quickly but isn’t as bad as in just plain A&A.

Iron blitz is wonderful to play out strats with newbies… the AI is terrible… the editor is great but the capitals have to stay the same…

In fact there is a great way to fix your problem…

Upgrade to 2k :D

I would assume it is a vid card driver issue you are having maybe, upgrading that usually helped alot of games out in NT4, but some just plain would not run.

"I downloaded A&A Iron Blitz from The underdogs.org and I think its an awesome game. "
I find a major contradiction here. The package is put together soo poorly that it is not even played on the zone, or ever was (cept for the first 2 weeks it ever was spammed).
If you are serious about wanting to play on the zone, you are in for a very big surprise. The bugs that show up in online play in every phase dwarf anything you’ve seen while playing the AI offline. And this is an understatement!

Damnit! Nothing! This buggy piece of crap, memory leaking SOB of a program… grrr…
