"I downloaded A&A Iron Blitz from The underdogs.org and I think its an awesome game. "
I find a major contradiction here. The package is put together soo poorly that it is not even played on the zone, or ever was (cept for the first 2 weeks it ever was spammed).
If you are serious about wanting to play on the zone, you are in for a very big surprise. The bugs that show up in online play in every phase dwarf anything you’ve seen while playing the AI offline. And this is an understatement!
Whats in the iron blitz?

I had always read about this version of A&A on here, and recently stumbled upon a copy of the game. The Marine troops to add that hard punch of an attack of 3 when amph. assualting, and the destroyers are great at defending that group of transports you have sitting there. Overall if you play the cd version of the game alot it is neat I suppose, anyone inc. these rules into the boardgame?

The AI is horrendously terrible in Iron Blitz. All the bugs from the original are still there unfortunately. Iron Blitz would be very good for multiplayer, especially with the built-in scenarios and scenarioeditor.

I think Iron Blitz adds a lot to the CD game. Marines are a great addition. I like the scenarios and the map editor. I’ve had a few games crash in the middle. I don’t know if this is from the original CD or specific to IB. One bug that really annoys me is if you load a saved game, you can’t place units on IC’s that aren’t the original IC’s. You can place them after the first turn.
