Axis and Allies Miniatures: North Africa 1939-1943

    Damn I haven’t played mini’s in months, I’m going to have to put a game together.  New mini’s coming out is great news though…


  • DF, you should try playing online with us.  Mot has adapted the game to Mapview and it works great!  You are also not limited by the pieces you actually own – you can build an army with any pieces you want, provided they are in the Sets Mot currently supports – Set I and Set II.  I’ve played two games so far, and it’s been a blast.

    I’d like to, but it doesn’t work for me.  I’ve played in the past and it gets in the way of work.  I don’t like to be on the computer at home after I’ve been on all day at work.  So I end up playing at work and not getting my work done.

    I’m afraid I’ll have to stick to maps and pieces.  I think I may take some pics of my collection this weekend and post them…


  • How accurately are the release dates for these sets? For instance, I play other collectible games too, but the release dates are usually pushed back a couple of weeks or so.

    Finaly a transport that can carry two soldiers, unfortunately it’s realy weak.

    and another M3, it’s a nice looking mini, but it’s another M3…

    US M3
    US M3 Lee
    UK M3 Grant
    UK M3 Stuart
    SU M3 Lee

    I believe there are only 6 Shermans so far so they better make a tan one for Africa…


  • weak AND slow – you might as well call it the “Death Trap” 'cause any troops caught in that sucker will be deep-sixed quick.  Heck, if it’s loaded with TWO troops, why WOULDN’T you go out of your way to kill it?


  • You guys are missing the point.  Its only 4 points.  You can drop and Inf AND an Artilllery off in turn 1 and you pay for itself.

    It makes the 88 playable.

    Umm, Mot, the 88 is a GERMAN unit!!! :lol:

    (but otherwise, I see your point. :wink:)

    Rangers move in to hex containing 88 and capture it


  • Its been leaked there will be a German heavy truck too…but the same applies for all nations…4 pts to drop off on turn 1 is often worth it.


  • I found this on the internet

  • Thats a good find…


  • Looks like the Russians and the US finally get a machine gun?


  • Very cool new options. I hope this gives the game a re-birth in my area. The only place I get to play AAM is here on this forum. Don’t worry, even if I do find some new friends to play with in real life, I’ll always save time for at least one PBEM game here with you all :-o


  • If you are ever in Florida, Cobalt, you can look me and Mateo up.  We’re always hankering for some FTF action.

    Wow I missed this post the first time around.  But WOW :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o
    This is right up my alley.  Can you imagine rolling up with 2 Flamethrowers on this unit and for 4 bucks.  The americans will be invincible.  I wanna use this combo to take me out a Vet king Tiger :evil:

    Great idea.  Map would probably have a ton of town hexes and bridges.  Super cool 8-)
