Question about the initial set up of a game

Go to forumini.wikidot.com/axis-allies-miniatures they have all the cards there.  It’s not searchable by set only country but it does tell you which set they are from.

Thanks!  That’s what it seemed like, it just doesn’t say so explicitly.

In my area the stores seem to be selling off the old stock and new stuff is no where to be seen.  This is why I buy enough when I start something to last me a life time.

@Audacity:

The way I understand it and play it is to pay for each model you have once.

So a carrier with two flights of aircraft is carrier cost + plane cost + plane cost = total. Its no different than having three destroyers are paying a cost for each one.

@Admiral:

What confuses me is this reference on page 11 of the advanced rules under Fleet Construction Etiquette:  “Carriers and their Aircraft squadrons can attack enemy units anywhere on the battle map, but you’ll have to pay for them twice:  once for the Carrier, and once for each squadron you assign to it.”  :?

It is a case of poor wording.  I suspect what they were trying to say is that to use planes, you have to pay for both the planes and the carrier, you do not get the planes with the carrier.  If you still need help, post the question over on the Avalon Hill boards under naval miniatures.

Both of these answers coincide with my understanding.

Yes, you are right about the planes being rares. I looked at the previews on the Avalon Hill site again and it seems I mistook the rare symbol for the uncommon symbol. Which is is something very easy to do, given that it is so small.

Understood on 100 point armor builds but the year makes a huge difference.  Is this just in general, or are you building for a specific scenario?

Your initial question is a 100point armor build viable for the germans?  Just an opinion but, Yes. On earlier scenarios as you go up it will get harder and you will have to be more creative lets say 1943 and up (the allies just have good cheap stuff).  The 35 pt Panther(1942 I think) a brummbar(1943) and a Hetzer(1944) are all good.  The Brummbar is priceless against infantry and is fairly cheap 22.
