  • thanks for the info jsp.

    revised looks WAY more in depth than classic.  i think i’ll play a game after DM and I are done my game of classic

    Revised is a great improvement over the original.  If you’re use to playing classic be aware there are a lot of rule changes (things you couldn’t do in classic but can in revised and vise-versa) plus new units and technology.  I found that I had to throw everything I knew from classic out the window and start from scratch.  If you’re interested, the guy who was in charge of redisgning the game wrote a series of articles explaining some of the changes and the reasons behind them.  You can find them at (they’re at the bottom of the page):

  • wow jsp, thanks for the link… good stuff!

    i downloaded ABattlemap and its way better than what I was using.  the revised map looks sweet and i can’t wait to play.  since most of my games are gonna be played over the intrenet, ill probably save some money and have more fun playing you guys on here.

    Oneshot-

    When you’re done with your current game of classic, let me know & I’ll play you a game or Revised.


  • Toys-R-Us for me too.

    IMHO, you lose alot while playing online.

    I admit online play is still fun. But it is just not the same feeling as a FTF game. One can take hours to return a PBEM turn. One has to make more “split-second” decisions FTF.

    Additionally, tournaments are really fun and you get to meet alot of nice people.

  • do they still hold tournaments?  a thread I was looking at had a tournament in Sterling, VA (about 1.5 hrs from where I live) but that was some time ago and I hadn’t joined this site yet.  I love FTF games but no one ever wants to play me.

    im thinkin about lookin around for the actual board game tho, just so i have it.


  • I got mine at my local game store.  The owner gives good deals.

    You should go to Origins next week (June 29-July ) in Columbus, Ohio.  Or Gencon in Indianapolis in August.

  • wow, that’s this weekend.  can’t make that one, its technically july 4th weekend and i have a disc golf tournament.  but i did finally go to toys b us and got the last axis and allies board game and opened it up last night.  i was amazed!  but there were no trays to keep the peices separated.  i guess i will just use ziplock baggies?

  • 2007 AAR League

    Now that you have the Revised game you’re probably going to want to toss the Operating Manual (or at least bury it at the bottom of the box  :wink: ).  Replace it with the latest LHTR (v1.3 i think)  here’s the link to a pdf version:

    Have fun!

    p.s. looking forward to our first game
