AAM Database released

[Field marshall]

Hi,
A bunch of us got together and created a online Axis and Allies miniatures card database. With so many cards out of print and revised it was getting confusing and tedious trying to find correct cards. So we built the database that searchable with savable and printable cards. Please feel free to use the dbase if you wish.

Please bear in mind it will be evolving over time to be more than just a cards database, the vision is that it could be a full database of everything AAM.

Anyways, check it out and constructive feed back would be appreciated but most of all "enjoy".

Update 1

1. A year rage has been added to make selecting units for builds with year restrictions easier.

2. The unit sub-type issue has been resolved and adherers to the WotC convention.

3. We are slowly been adding the unit photos but with over 500 units and lack of good imagery its going to take a while.

4. The Forumini Generals Cards have been added and will be up for search soon.


How's this tool working for everyone?

Did you hand-craft these cards?  Are these all the revised stats, the ones released roughly when the vehicles got resized?

[Field marshall]

Yes the are custom made cards to WotC's last revision and covers the scale change. Each card is up to date and tournament ready. The cards are not stored images rather searched units stats are pulled from a spreadsheet and stats are put into a template and displayed. We just changed over the card output to a version that can be linked or embedded in posts. The change was intended to allow cards to be printed a a standard card size but didn't work right and the routine has to be rewritten. But it should be printing properly in a day or two.

For me the dbase works awesome when making army builds. If you are playing Germany from 1940-1943 year range and wish to see all the available soldiers to include in your army, just set the criteria and it will show you the list.

[Field marshall]

Updated to include the Forumini Generals cards.

[Field marshall]

Version III is available now. It includes all the WotC unit SA clarifications. You can access them by clicking the text on a unit and viewing the card screen. If you scroll down and there is a clarification it will appear for review. From the lower part of the card screen there is a link to the dbase to all clarifications if you wish to review them all.

PS - Thanks to Sgt Fury for providing the raw information.

[djensen]

FM, would you be willing to open source this project by putting it up on Github?

[Field marshall]

Sgt Fury very generously went through each and every card to help straighten out text overwriting and some errors that came with the database we uploaded. As far as we know its 100% accurate now and the card formats should be clearer. As always, please watch for errors and let us know so we can correct them.

Cheers

@ DJensen - Sorry I missed your post on February 08. To be perfectly honest I'm not really sure what github is. It must be different than the hosting site I currently use?

[djensen]

Github is a repository for sharing code and open source projects.

[Field marshall]

Send me an email and we can talk about the pro's and con's and perhaps we can make it happen.

[djensen]

The only issue is that it seems the database was written using Microsoft technology which is not very compatibile with the rest of the open source world.

For most DIY projects, it's a LAMP stack, Linunx, Apache/nginx, MySQL, PhP/Python/Ruby

[Field marshall]

Yes we do use the Microsoft codes. But on the up side its still available online 24/7 @ http://www.tintirinti.com/search_AAM.aspx

I also forgot to mention Version IV is running and includes the addition of the AAM stats for the A20 planes in a printable version. Its only a list in the back of the A20 rule book but now you can search and print them out on the dbase.

Cheers

PS - Any chance we can un-pin the DDay set thread from 5 years ago and sticky this?

[Field marshall]

Thanks for the sticky!

Just a heads up for everyone that we hooked up a more appropriate url for the database. Right now if you use the old url (http://www.tintirinti.com/search_AAM.aspx) you will be automaticly redirected to the new url. I reccommend that you re-bookmark the new url and go from there.

By the way thanks for the overwelming support for the dbase. There were almost 9000 searches in the last 30 days.

New url: http://www.aamcardbase.com/search_AAM.aspx

[Field marshall]

The army builder is up and running. Give it a try by clicking the tank icon at the lower right of the dbase window.
