New method for builds and placement for 2nd edition:

Will check this out when I get home… starting to rebuild myour old classic set… I think it might serve as a better intro to the series than 1941 does…

In case this is not an OOB map file, does one exist for Classic,  or are there other classic map files out there?

:roll:
So, the card game “WAR” has come to A@A!
I agree that it sucks to lose 2 or 3 vital and expensive planes to FlaK in one attack, but since my FlaK usually never hits at all, it kinda makes up for it when it happens to my opponent.  :lol:

I was thinking that there was a set of 6 cards; 1 through 6, and for every enemy plane that flew over the gun you randomly drew a card, (for every set of up to 6 enemy planes that fly over). Then turn over the cards, if the 1 card is there, you got a hit!
An example of an attack of more than 6 planes
  8 planes fly over/attack: the first 6 planes suffer an auto hit, because you would draw all 6 cards
    for the last two planes, shuffle the deck and draw two random cards, if the “1” card is drawn,  you got a second hit!
What do you think?  :|

-Submerging Submarines. Defending submarines can submerge or retreat from combat. A submerged sub stays in the same sea zone until after combat when it re-surfaces.
-Planes can retreat from an amphibious assault. Fighters and Bombers can now retreat from an amphibious assault if the battle is going poorly for the attacker.
-Multiple AA guns in one territory. You can now place multiple AA guns within one territory. However, only one of these AA guns can fire in a turn.
-New Naval units can be placed in an enemy-occupied sea zone. You can now place any of your naval units in a sea zone that is occupied by enemy forces. If you do this, combat will occur on your enemy’s turn–unless the enemy moves its units out of the sea zone before the enemy’s combat phase. Note: You still have to place naval units in sea zones adjacent to one of your Industrial Complexes.
-Western Canada no longer borders on the Atlantic Ocean. This keeps players from being able to move units from the Atlantic ocean directly into Western Canada.
-When an aircraft carrier is sunk. The surviving aircraft on it can attempt to locate and land on a friendly island, territory, or aircraft carrier. These aircraft have one movement point to do so.

The rules were changed to make the game better.

Please, note that the board is not the same as in 1st ed. rules.

I suggest you try the game as is while you wait to see if you get an answer to your search.

1)Try your local(if you have one)fantasy/historical/miniature game store. Ask specifically for First Ed. Rules! They may be able to get them or tell you where to find them if they don’t have it.

2)Also try an advertisement in your local paper. Try the big local pare for a month on Sunday/Wdnesdays for example. If no bites try a couple of small weekly neighborhood newspapers for a month.

3)You might also try a pull-tab flyer (like babysitters or at home businesses use) in some local food, hardware, drug stores (wherever there’s a bulletin board.)

I suggest you write…

BMRs are better used as part of a INF/ARM/FTR land attack…especislly where there are no AAGs. However, as stated previously, the Allies can afford to lose BMRs in more SBR scenarios than the Axis(BUT, a combined Axis SBR bombing of Russia is ideal!)
