@RisingSun I had similar experience, I was big into the naval miniatures but couldn’t afford both. I bought a lot on ebay a year or so ago and have played a few games. It is not difficult to learn especially if you are familiar with the navy side, it’s pretty similar but includes facing. I think it’s a great game and wish I had collected it some when it was active.

Want durable printed Acis & Allies miniatures maps at a reasonable cost?

I printed out maps using vinyl banner material from Vistaprint. Using a 50% off coupon proved to be a very economical way to create durable maps. I had to combine maps add borders to some of the maps to make them fit the standard banner dimension. It was simple to trim and cut using a straight edge and razor.

I have since had to update the login and password. If you are interested in accessing the account to print directly from previous orders (rather than uploading your own, modified to the Vistaprint banner dimensions), please contact me directly.

I get no money or commission for this.

If you purchase a case of 12 you will not get a full set, you will get about half. Their cases are prepacked with the same miniatures in 2 different cases. So you would require 2 cases to get a full set of rares, however, there is no way of telling which cases you are purchasing as they are not marked.

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! :-)

Again, just make sure VASSAL is configuration-based enough.  if you have to code to make changes then I’d look at one of the more polished products.

Battlegrounds has stated on their website that they are working on a wargamer-specific tabletop version of their software.  Id be curious to know how that is comiong  along…

That being said VASSAL has been around for a while and lots of games have been ported to it so I know its pretty solid.
