Buying a case at a time

Buy the new starter pack.  You’ll also need a couple of boosters just to start.  There’s not enough in one starter pack to learn how to play.  The game can be played with the new or old figures.  Some notes

Old starter packs have old maps with 2" hexes.  That is what we play with online here.
New starter packs have new maps with 3" hexes.

There are 4 sets of rules:  Orignal, Revised (this added the aircraft rules), next generation revised (this added the new 3" maps), expanded (this one doesn’t come with any starter packs, its bought seperatly about $20, comes with some extra maps, has some extra “expanded rules”, the expanded rules are very complicated and not used by anyone I know who logs on at this web site, also adding that for $20 the book is made like crap)

original 5 sets are
Base
Set II
Contested skys
D-Day
Reservice

New 2 sets are
1939 - 1945
North Africa

Some units in the original sets have been recosted.

This is the kind of thing that would make me want to try eBay.

Just to let people know - I have created several sets of maps and new rules for use with the AAM 1.0 minis. I will post more on this and the Variant Rules forum when they are ready.

The first sets will be for North Africa and War in Europe Sets. Maps for Pacific Theatre and Alpine are also in the works. So you wont have to pitch all of your minis. There is a use for them, and even WTF or Cando minis can be mixed with them.

I have also created new rules and 400 new unit cards for Italy, Japan, Finland, France, England, and of course German and American.

Mmm…Daisy Duke.  Sorry, that’s really all Hazzard means to me.  Sounds like he left an impression though.

Well it also depends what country you are wanting to collect.

If collecting:

USSR: Buy either a set II or a set III.  Set I has 2 good soviet tanks but thats about it.  Id recommend you just buy those online or trade.

UK:  Buy either set I or set IV.  Lots of goodies for the UK in those.  There are 2 good rares in set II but I just recommend you to buyem online or trade.

Japan:  Set I and set II is the way to go for Japan.  Set IV only has the Honor Bound hero.  Buy that one online, im sure hes only like 75 cents.  :wink:

Germany and US:  Just buy any freakin set!!  They all have lots of good German and American units.  :-D

If you are looking to collect whole sets like my friend Sol….then just buy a whole case of any set.  Simple as that.  :-P

i treat it like a collector.  ( that way my wife can’t get too pissed)  but if you want to dive into it hot and heavy. I would strongly suggest buying cases and buying them online.  Through like ebay or something.  I wouldn’t personally pay more than 110.00 for a case and that includes s&h.  I’ve bought cases for both set 1 and 2 at 105.00 and just preordered set 3 for 110.00.  well worth searching for them rather than going to your local game store. Where the price of 1 booster is 15.00.  you save almost 70.00

but thats just me

I bought a case of Set II when it came out; I’m a regular at a store here in Hampton Roads, and the owner allowed me to reserve a case, so I just went and picked it up when the set premiered.

:evil:
