    Now there’s an argument for you!

    Li _ka, (Just trying out a short form for your nick… some of these guys come up with some good ones.)
    I think you may have trouble finding these in the stores. IF YOU SEE THEM BUY THEM! I know guys that have been looking for years.

    I believe your questions might be answered on another string/thread here. If I can spot quickly them I’ll post them here. Or you could look through this “Player Help” forum or “Axis & Alies” forum.


  • ya i seen pacific in a store around here i want to get it . is there like any major flaws with it or anything…… like balance wise ?


  • Li_ka,
    No answers in “Player Help.” You might also glance through “General Discussion” forum.

    As for your flaws or balance question the argument rages. Many like the game as a second choice.

    SOMEBODY else please answer!


  • There have been discussions about this on this site (just don’t recall which forum), with the most experienced players preferring A&A. Other comments I remember: that AAP makes for fast play, great sweeping maneuvers across the ocean… that AAE boils down to a slogging war of attrition between Germany & Russia (but with this you get a great feeling for the importance of coordinated maneuver, deployment and counterstrike).

    Personally I started with AAE – and I’m still with it! But I am looking forward to playing the A&A and AAP. In AAEurope, I have found enough complexity and variety to see that it gets more interesting all the time, like any good game. There are new strategies and tactics that each of the players can attempt and perfect. There are enough combinations of these, to keep the other side off balance and scrambling.

    Another thing I notice is that different players bring their own style to the game – and the game is better for it, another sign of great game design.
    Anyway, it seems to me that any of these three versions will be challenging, entertaining, and historically stimulating … if I had it to do over again, I might go with A&A first, because after all::::: it really was a WORLD war.


  • I said A&A:E because I found out of all three games A&A:E was the easiest to learn and play.

    AaA definitely…


  • The first one is a classic, and it also, doesn’t fluctuate rule wise as much…
