So the axis almost pulled it off. Lost Verviers last turn. Allies just stayed in the other 2 stacks. Could roll them out to see if they get control for the heck of it.

you need to goto boardgamegeek.com and search by topic of game mechanic called “area movement”. That will pull up all the games made that include the similiar concept that is found in AA. Of course you can just head over to ww2 games and look at many different types of treatments of operational level wargames which is what your looking for.
Thanks, I never really looked at the stuff on that site. It is pretty cool. Next time I’ll Google before I hit reply.
Yes i want to see a Kursk and an operational level wargame for the Italian campaign ala AH “Anzio” with the herman goering division
kursk would be entertaining, but i wonder if he will expand into Pacific tactical battles….like Midway…or Battle for the Philipines…
however i would enjoy more europe battles even more :D
He was to release a Guadalcanal game (boardgame) thru matrix games but that didn’t materialize. In any case its allready done so he may submit it to AH for publication.
guadacanal…thinks checks wikipedia
oh cool! the americans switching from defense to offense in the pacific theatre. That could be fun :D
unfortunately i don’t know much about hte pacific theatre :P
i cant wait to get this game. it looks like dday with a new map and background. operational level games are fun and quick. i think an italian campain would be great. i also think a north africa theatre/ southern mediterrianian game would be great. it could feature german and italian forces vs the brits/anzac and americans.
The game is indeed a really great game!
Bulge is much better than D-Day. I feel this system will be a new standard for operational level scale AA games that involve land battles.
It would be a perfect template for a Barbarossa, Kursk, Market Garden, Stalingrad, or a france 1944 game. I have allready played this game 5 times.
Its like a tidal wave or a runaway fire. Eventually it will be subsided or contained. If it does not go well you will be drowned or consumed by the flames. I think its also possible to have 2 allied players and 2 german players.
This is a little off topic but Greg was saying that the next game will be Axis & Allies Guadalcanal. There was something about Larry developing the game for Eagle Games and after Eagle went under supposedly WotC/Avalon Hill bought rights to the game.
The rumor is that it will be released in the Spring. I’m not sure if that means this Spring or Spring 2008.
The original game was to be produced by matrix games which has only one other boardgame under its belt. It is mostly a software game company
