What happened to A&A Iron Blitz?!

@huntdax:

I have the 15 yr old PC game by Hasbro Interactive.  I am having trouble with the graphics to play the game.  The game is made for WIN95/98 while my PC runs Win7.  What do I need to do to change in my settings for this to work.  Much appreciated.

Right click on the EXE file for the program (AandA.exe?)… in Win7 you’ll get options to enable windows compatibility mode, and several toggle switches.  Experiment a bit till you get something that works, you can use Win95 mode, Win98 mode, etc, etc… there’s also some other options, I forget what they are, but I had a very old Win95 game called Pacific General that just would not run under Win7 until I set it to Win95 mode and checked all the boxes, finally it ran as it should run in Win7 just like old Win95 days.

Give it a try.

Alright, I get it…

…my friend was convinced that if you wanted to move through your own territory first, your OWN territory had to be empty.

Gotcha. Thanks!  :-)

Downloaded the file and  it helped me alot, but I was wondering if there were any PC-Game Manuals out there?  i think that one is for the Board game.

Which one should I buy and what is the difference in the 2? Is Iron Blitz a release to fix bugs and be a better game, or is it just and expansion to include ‘marines’ & ‘destroyers’ etc.?

Appearantly you can’t buy Iron Blitz anymore, but you can still get the original A&A just about anywhere fairly cheap.

i think i would prefer setting up the board manually and just moving the pieces around according to what the players do. this way i could look at it anytime, and i tried using the map thing that you can download once, and i couldn’t even figure out how to put pieces on the board, let alone move them around!

i dont know what your talkin about. i played as allies vs my friend who is very experienced and i won (wasnt easy tho)

u need to employ tactics man.

for example i made a raiding force, and built up like 6 bombers, and a strong navy, beat the japs out of phillipines and then built a factory there (dont worry if they did take it its not very useful to build there) and i kept strat bombing them (6 moves to japan and back to phillipines) and sending troops to sumatra, borneo, and the rest, until u have a decent invasion force, then its cake

jap player only got to 40 for one round in my game. be a coward in china, hold all your troops up in schechwan since rest of china is worthless and u cant attack to get korea or manchuria. build a good force of arty and infantry in india, hold back britains navy until its strong enough to severely damage the jap navy. use combat air patrols to protect your boats. watch for the strategically significant naval bases and airfields.

keep in mind tho no strategy is 100% in axis and allies. its like chess… on steroids… with luck involved!

your dream has come true….just like the rest of us!
