Has anyone tried Qualiy cast?

There is also an Axis & Allies (Land) Miniatures FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2247118512/ (367 members) and an Axis & Allies Minis group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/30758476419/ (115 members). Great game, but you may have to hunt around for fellow players! :-)

Here’s a good idea, buy a starter set so you can get maps and counters.  Download and print the revised cards (most of the cards that come with the minis have been revised).  Print the current rules and give it a shot without using any actual units.  Gameplay is 1 hour time limit… at least you’ll get a couple of games played in one night.

There are a few Poland scenarios under way right now in the “Play By Forum / Play Miniarues” section. I think MOT is partial to Polish early war scenarios.

Yes, like most of the other hype (yeah I’m talking to you, Rhino) it’s turned out to be not all that bad. It’s a threat for sure, but counterable.

France fought beside the Americans and Brits for the duration of the war. I can’t see them siding with the Soviets; at least not right away (perhaps the USSR eventually wins massive swaths of Europe, forcing the French, Romanians, and Polish to fight for them). If war broke out I don’t think the UK would stay as an intermediary for very long. Once France fell to the Soviets they’d see the Red Army as a threat.

The Free West: British, Australians, Canadians, Americans, Free French (DeGaulle quotes as sighing, “Here we so again!”)

The Red Army: Soviets, French, Polish, Romanians, Conscripted Germans/Looted German tanks

One of my favorite video games has alot to do with this. Freedom Fighters assumes that the Soviets actually dropped the first atomic bomb, on Berlin. Thus began the assimilation of all of Europe. Eventually the war reaches American shores.

If by tourney para bomb you mean too many paratroopers to shoot at.  then the answer to this is NO.  this 150 point build isn’t the way to go.  I tried this and my buddy brought out 8 paratroopers and 2 captains.  that alone caused way too much chaos, not to mention the shermans.  i haven’t tried it against an all out sherman swarm.  but again i would say NO.  shermans are so powerful especially in hordes.  ( but that def of the KT is awe strucking)

@Malachite:

I doesn’t feel like the scenario or even the A&A mini game itself was play tested very much.  I hope for set 3 they make a new starter pack with revised rules.

You’re probably right about the scenario not being play tested much. As for the game, I’m sure it was play tested a lot but with the wrong focus in mind. Play testing probably involved:

Play testers that are more used to play testing board games like Axis & Allies.

Play testing with the minimum age limit in mind. Keep it simple and “fun” for the kids.

I have heard that they didn’t expect the target market for this game to be older both in age and maturity (Some teenagers are just more mature and adult than others).

But it takes a while to fix things like this in a fast releasing collectible miniatures game.

Hey, that’s a good idea, geno!  8-)
