Buying Additional Units

@Krieghund

Thank you!

The usual discussion about how many of a unit does each piece represent.

Each game’s scale is different, so what are your thoughts are how many of itself does each unit represent? An infantry unit, for example, is odd. It’s certainly not a field army but still too big for a division. It’s slightly too big for a corps though. Maybe two divisions work?

What do you think for other units? Thank you!

By the way, I find it ludicrous that the French Navy, that weak thing, somehow has more battleships than the second most powerful navy at the time, Germany. And France has the same amount of battleships as the Royal Navy, the top navy in the world. Crazy!

@mendieta:

i made order on HBGeu, man who work there is called Delaja, you can ask what you want and you will get answer next day. My shiping cost to Macedonia where 7 eu,( igot invoice on e mail, but i dont pay this shipping cost because my order was +50 eu. Also got track number)

Yeah, HBGeu is situated in the Netherlands so the shipping costs are really low for me (Belgium).
It just sucks that they don’t have any German sets for A&A 1914 left…

I mean that my printer is unable to edit the map, something that he has been able to do for us on the 1942.2, Anniversary & 1941 maps that he has printed. Which means that we cannot undo all the changes to revert to the OOB 1914 map.

However, Imperious Leader has now provided this link to an attractive map that seems identical to the OOB one:

Just called, Matt from customer service said that:

There is no process to provide additional pieces; and They are not aware of any issues with respect to insufficient pieces (when asked if this has come up before).

He told me to try to find people with multiple copies to get other pieces from.

@Flashman:

As a rough guide, what scale of fighter plane would be perfect for the game, given that those on the setup photo are clearly too small.

Something along the lines of fighters from WWII A&A, but maybe a scale range up as these planes were pretty small.

Anyone know of any available? In plastic please.

my guess would be 1:350 or 87 mm for the scale.

Agreed Loz.
I have never bought a game intending to sell for profit.
Has always been for my entertainment.

No Dreadnoughts should ever be built in the game since it takes 3+ years from start to finish. I understand it makes the game unplayable, but accuracy and not fun must be part of the game.

Extrapolating this further all other naval units take 6-8 turns to build. I understand this means that half the game will have empty oceans, but oh well. Accuracy and not fun is whats important.

Limits on how many of one type of unit get built would also presumably be part of Larry’s rules.

If one thing we know is Axis and Allies is a perfect representation of Historical accuracy, and not fun anymore.

Enjoy the game.
