I like the pieces! Looking forward to you bringing these to market. Thank you again for reprinting this neat little title.

Some of the 3D printed pieces are available individually as we work on getting the rest to print well on the 3D printers.

I would love to go the route of injection molded for high quantities, but the upfront costs are too high for such a small business right now.

Just bought this game by Sean Michael Inc. What a fun game!! Some of the rules needed a bit of clarifying and we made some assumptions. We also had to take a sharpie marker to some of the borders  on the map to distinguish. We played about 10 of these in a row. Much more dynamic than D-Day or any of the other tactical games. We enjoyed the short setup time and ease of play. Highly recommended. If you own any A&A set you won’t need the pieces.

I played this game extensively in the 80s with my friends and we used miniatures… I’m sure my collection is up in the attic collecting dust.

Some things are best left as fond memories.

I’ve just bought the game recently and found that it could be a great starter for potential wargamers. As frimmel said, it’s quick, fun and fairly easy to learn.

Playing this with a few friends has them at least interested in trying a game of AA41. From there, maybe 1942 or anniversary.

150th anniversary

Yeah, that’s the game.  It was something between the simplest RPG-like game you can play and actual D&D.  The gamemaster could make their own scenarios, if they wanted.

Hey guys, just wanted to introduce you to a game I’ve grown fond of.  Title is above.

It’s a multiplayer online game that mixes RPG, FPS, and RTS elements.  There are two sides: beasts and humans.  Each side starts off with a basic setup, and they work on building their levels, collecting money and stone (through killing the other team or NPCs distributed among the map), building new structures and researching tech.  The humans get weapons, whereas the beasts get spells & abilities.  There are also items for each team, and everything is unique to each team.  There is a commander for each side that directs the teams and chooses officers, researches tech, chooses the buidlings to constructs, and buffs the other players.  The game really revolves around melee combat, which is fairly fast paced and intereting: the humans can block, and the beasts can leap/leap attack.  There are also multiple units to be researched and played, each with different stats and effectiveness, including the 3 story tall Behemoth beast unit (pic below - the player is using a stalker, second tier unit, where the Behemoth is standing face to face with a scavenger, the first tier beast unit).

Here are a couple of links of video for in game play:

Just note that this game recently became free, but has been out for 3 years.  There are MANY good players, and newbies tend to have a frustrating time.  But staying around and learning the game is very rewarding, and very fun.  I also might mention that the gaming system allows for a lot functionality, including voting, private messaging, etc.
