Central Powers/Table Tatics, will there be a Re-Issue?

@thrasher1 Yes, you can make fictional A & A maps. You can also have variable placement of these fictional maps so that A& A games can have varying maps (to a degree). This is regarding a board game style variation. A computer programme generated random map would necessitate software coding to really have random fictionalized maps.

@Tigerman77: This was my idea exactly for my 39 setup. All nations start out with medium bombers and have to develop heavy bombers….so if Japan and Germany want to skip this technology for another they can. These new pieces are going to open the games for more house rules…isn’t that what we want? It’s what I want…! I think making Heavy bombers for the countries that don’t have an OOB heavy and making medium bombers for the countries that don’t have an OOB medium is the smart thing to do. I agree with you here on the possibility of house rules.  In my house rules version major warships already get 2 attacks, one for primary and one for secondary armament, so giving heavy bombers two chances to hit isn’t much of a stretch, any more than having 2-hit warships (or in my case, even 3-hit ones, though I haven’t quite settled on whether the 3-hit ones should be rare “super-BB’s” or standard BB’s, giving BC’s and carriers 2 hits…) As far as making it a tech, you could also make certain techs be already awarded to certain nations as a national advantage: e.g., Germany could automatically get Heavy Tanks whereas the US & UK could automatically get Heavy Bombers, which to some degree reflects the realities of the war and of each nation’s research priorities in the early-war period up to 1942 (when some game scenerio’s begin, after all…) Giving the oob 4-engines a “tech” status, though (even if it’s automatically awarded to the US, say) does somewhat push the B-29 out of the picture as an “upgrade” options, though… but this may become a non-issue, as I have yet see anyone firmly commit to doing a B-29 piece… (Other than TT’s old piece which is maybe too small…)

What do others think? thrasher,

that sounds okay, we could just take over those canadian losers whenever we wanted anyway, so it could work. j/k j/k

@John: @Yavid: @Imperious: What we need is a master list of WOTC pieces and HBG/FMG pieces by type, then formulate stats but all separate http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=33356.0 done I don’t have Anniversary and don’t know the units that came with that game so they are not on the list. I pmed you the list. I hope that helps you, buddy! Thank you very much I updated adding the units from AA50 I did run into a couple questions for you and pm them to you.

@Variable: Thanks much! I may attempt this project over the summer. Hopefully I end up with a great table and 10 fingers when I"m done…  :mrgreen: I would make you one, but shipping and handling would cost a fortune. If you don’t have a free table to use, try double stacking milk creates and resting the pieces on them.

wait? what? klinglon?

Whoa! A new Spanish Civil War, but the map in color? YES!!! Can we pre-order? I am going to go over the entire SCW game that I have from you (2nd + 3rd editions) and will shoot you off some recommendations. Rogue Warrior
