@Shakespeare:
The rule changes are absolutely ridiculous and call into question the “integrity” of the game and the game design itself!
For every Axis and Allies game in the future NO RULES should be included in the game becz one rule set is just as good as any other rule set;
as all these Alpha machinations have demonstrated.
I have yet to hear about any formal apology issued by Harris or by Kreighund who devised this disaster of thier own making.
The disaster is not the original rules, but thier response to it: PANIC!!
Yes, it is a disaster becz who ever heard of changes in the rules which number in the hundreds. Literally hundreds.
Krieghund you can’t deny that! Neither can Harris.
I am appalled when I try to read the new rules and setups, if they issue a new rules set like Columbia Games;
where the new rules are inserted in red font next to the old rules which remain in black, these new red Alpha, Beta Gamma setups
would bleed the rule book red.
I reject all these changes becz what they tell you is that any rules set is as good as any other.
They no longer have any credibility: subs can’t sink lone transports, what the heck is that all about?
Isn’t that the new rule? Or did I get that wrong becz I refuse to even consider that one. Becz it is so counter intuitive
They rejected a minimalist approach to “correcting” the whiners’ complaints and we get this mess.
Or at least it looks like most of you have bought this Alpha Beta Gamma correction scheme as valid.
This is all just so absurd and disheartening.
YEAH bleep board
