Poll: What A&A games do you play?

Sure. The best online retailer for this sort of thing is Historical Board Gaming. go there and you will find every piece to almost every AA board game, even some Anniversary pieces. Of course, Ebay is a good way to acquire pieces as well.

Use a lot of the same units.  Whenever I play, I give one player like 10 shermans if he is the us.  or 10 panzer IVs if he is germany.  It helps because you have less cards to look at for the movements and attacks.  If you cut out air, that shortens it too.

I like both modes of travel but I’m a soldier.  My son joined the Navy instead.  I play both but I play the army game more!

Nice, if your posting over there, direct them to a better place :wink:

True enough.  You could try that, but I’d recommend reducng the 5-hex deploy zone down to 2 or 3.  Plus the objective might need to get repositioned a bit.

got it…

Thanks

So I got the case of D Day releases and am generally quite pleased.  As I got to the last box I was hoping for a German or British Rare but got that French tank.  Oh well I had no doubles on other rares and am pleased.

What happened to the scale of the 88mm.  I know it was a scary piece but its not that big.  At the same time there were a couple of other vehicles that came across very small.

So we set up a new map.  I made a 3 foot by 8 foot hex map on a roll of brown craft paper.  For all of the various terrain types we cut different coloured paper hexes and laid them out.  It was a very cool map and I can change the trerrain as desired.  We played a European game of 500 point armies in a meeting engagement.  It was about four hours to play 7 turns.  With so much terrain it was important to build significant transport into the mix and run it up and back shuttling the infantry into the fight.

I lost three Sherman varients just to take out the veteran Tiger.

Great fun!

@Ubermarine:

The Polish Calvalryman is a nice touch to the game.  Thay will be easy to use in groups of 3 or 4 against soldiers.  Im thinking the best way to use them will be to hide and rush machine gun nests.

Not just machine gun nests but also for going after BAR Gunners, anti-tank guns, and commanders. But I really don’t think you need more than 1 or 2 to accomplish this. It is very easy for the cavalry out of line of sight.
