Wow! This variant looks really interesting but if I understand correctly, it requires a new map right? If so, is this even possible to play now since the map link provided does not work anymore?? Thanks in advance for any responses to this question.
A&A expansion set.
-
There used to be an expansion set for A&A classic that had pieces and rules for airborne troops, artilery and some other stuff. Has anyone seen this available lately?
-
black baron games from Canada made some of these. They suck
Pewtercraft made metals and they have been out of business for like 10 years.
give me a list of what you need and ill locate these types.
also goto BGG and grognads has written the rules for you under AA game sections
-
Thanx. I just wanted to look into getting one. But if they suck then I’m good. I’ll need no pieces. Thanx for offering to locate some though. I tried to give you some good karma here but I guess I haven’t posted enough yet or I’m too dense to figure out how to do it. :?
-
you need 100 posts.
What you really need is the rules, as the pieces are crap.
They have a picture of them on BGG somewhere.

-
Are the pieces just poorly made or what’s the deal on them?
-
The cruisers look like crap. They don’t even look like wartime vessels but more like a liner, The artillery unit is too large and looks like a WW1 leftover, the Mechanized Infantry/Paratrooper is in the wrong scale and you dont get enough of them. I have 2 sets of these and the colors are for Milton bradley so you need to repaint.

This is a real shame that someone hasn’t noticed the potential for making an add-on for the game pieces. I think that a second infantryman mold (two for US, a marine and an airborne infantryman) for each country, a set of cruisers for everyone, a second fighter mold for US navy aircraft, a british tank besides the Sherman, and transport planes would give a number of folks what they need. Look at what one fellow did by just making custom dice? Another little touch would be to have tiny flags flying above your industrial complexes.

Actually that last sentence is going to come true before long. They are making them as well.

Too true.

@Imperious:

Where can I buy it ?
-
Field Marshall games would be making them once they sell out their AA dice plus the special Italian, French and Chinese ones. Once they get them going they look into new ideas and tokens are on the list as i hear it.
