Hasbro restrictions…..

Crazy question, why is Hasbro discontinuing to offer part sets for all A&A games? Aren’t they shooting themselves in the foot by not allowing us to purchase more pieces from them as opposed to going somewhere else for parts? Any thoughts on this?

I agree wholeheartedly that Hasbro is missing a real good bet. I know of one small company that nets about $100,000 a year simply from selling extra components to its games. Hard to say how much they would make. I do wonder if they are afraid that if they sell components, the gaming community would simply download the rules, make their own battle boards, use the existing A&A revised board, and have at it. Personally, I need the additional pieces. I keep expanding the game with additional players, and need more unit for the different countries.

Even if we just downloaded rules and made our own maps, Hasbro would still be winning if we were using their minitures. Talk about the free advertising that Hasbro would get just by the fact that the game players want to use their pieces. I think someone in the company has forgotton that one of the joys of having extra little armies is the ability to take the basic game system and expand it to whatever scenario you wish.

Actually, I am thinking that with the addition of some 1 inch by 3 inch cards under each ship, you could easily use them for miniature naval battles using any of the wide variety of rule sets out there. Especially now with the addition of the cruiser. I am thinking of using some simply naval miniature rules to fight sea actions in the Guadalcanal game.
