Pictures of the painted units for A&A Revised

@FieldMarshalGames:

I personally like Revised better, because of the NOs (optional rules at back of book) can change up the game play.

I would like to play Revised with the NOs, but update the naval rules to 1942.

Buy 1942 for the extra pcs and the Cruisers…  play Revised IMHO.

You can try these for AA42:  http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=20053.0  and http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=15052.0  for NOs and NAs.

haha, just bought Anniversary. get this, im taking the pieces out of the cases and getting things in their trays ready for gameday this weekend and I turn around and my dog is chomping on the edge of the cover box!!! 100 bucks and the corner of one box is ripped off. what a bummer. (though at least she wasnt munching on the board!)

anywho, im going to get revised this weekend as well. found a cool shop that has all the versions and im going to pick one up each week until I have the complete set!

Interesting results this far:

There’s a sizable ‘rookie’ class (3 or less years of experience), 19 poll participants

and a group of grizzled veterans (over 15 years of experience), 13 poll participants

I am glad to see the new comers.  I guess Revised was a good thing.

And just FYI…

In Second Edition by Milton Bradley and in the old Hasbro CD (3rd Ed.), control of 2 Allied capitals by the Axis was a defined Axis victory.

Under LHTR, in the description of AA guns, it does include a specific exception to AA guns ONLY moving in NCM when being carried on TRNs.

It is not 100% conclusive.  But it is more than enough to make me think that the AA gun does indeed offload in COMBAT movement (but of course cannot “attack” so it is ignored as a unit for the attacker).  If the Attacker wins the combat, they finish setting up the AA gun in NCM, and it protects the newly captured territory.  If the attacker is thrown back into the sea, the defender gains the AA gun.

At least, that is how I read it…

Hi,

I’ve been on the hunt for some additional/alternative miniatures for using with A&AR.

So far I’ve found Infantry miniatures from Airfix (www.airfix.com) for US, UK, Germany and Russia.

In regard to Tanks, Fighters, Artillery and Bombers, I’ve had no luck at the scale in A&AR, and the same goes for naval units.

Anybody else have any leads I might follow up?

EDIT: I’ve come to the conclusion that tanks, planes and artillery are in the approx 1:285 scale, while infantry are approx 1:72 scale.
I’ve found that the company called Micro Armour produces (produced more like it) tanks and such.
Micro Armour miniatures can be found here: http://www.ghqmodels.com/store/ghq-military-models.html
Although, it seems they’re an expensive alternative, the models would bring even greater realism/diversity to the gamingboard.
