Looks like the setup is on the board like the last two games. I don’t think the airbase strips are there though. They must go in the dotted lines when you build them. There are no supply chips in this mockup either. I also see no cruisers curiously. It doesn’t look like they have all the elements of the game together here. Very cool though. Who wouldn’t want the super big mockup board with no creases to use for play?

RE: Historicaly Accurate A&AE
I think that AARHE is very close to being finished and it would be neat to give AAE and AAP the same treatment. These games are just as good as AAR and in some ways better. With some good Historical house rules it would make them better.

RE: Historicaly Accurate A&AE
Timeover 51 Italy and all the Minor Axis would be separate. Including Finland, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria.
I agree with most of the stuff you are saying. If you have the time share any info you have. We could also work on a scenerio. Call it AAE Historical Edition.
I also had an idea of refelecting the amount of troops each power had available or fielded in battle. So you could eventually run out of units to build. Well, maybe not the Russians with having pretty much infinite manpower! -

AJ you apparently have heard this question before. :-)

RE: Historicaly Accurate A&AE
Timeover51 I am trying to do an order of battle for June 1941. I don’t think I would make the inf weaker as the war took its toll on germany. That would be too difficult. I think if the war is going badly for Germany than they can’t build as many Inf to represent the weakening of German power.
I agree that an inf would be a Corps.
As for the navy I think for simplicity you could lump the ASW ships into Destroyers. Once you found out how many ships the different nation had and where they where they where positioned you would have to make each piece worth multiple Ships.

RE: New theme
The chat room is cool but it doesn’t seem as easier to read than the color scheme as the old forums. The Karma is cool. I applauded you djensen.

Maybe it could be like tech. Pay 5 IPC and roll a die to see if Spain joins.

Me blockading the med. is no different then me putting troops into the middleast. It is the best interest of the Soviet People to contain the Axis.

RE: AAE Scenario: Europe 1939 (France, USA, Germany, Britain, USSR, Italy)
We have a problem with rules and I want to hear what other people think. I’ll set it up. Me as the Soviet Union has a sub in the South Atlantic and and Transport in the Azores sea. The British have a Destroyer,sub,and transport in the Central Atlantic. It is Italy’s turn and he has 1Destroyer,1sub,and 4transports in the strait of Gibraltar. The SU and the Axis are not at war. In this scenerios rules it says and I quote:“The Soviet Union must remain at peace until Germany or Italy initiates hostilities against the Soviet Union. Then it must declare war against both of these countries and no others.” Thats all it says about how the SU becomes at war with the Axis. Can the Itialians move there fleet through the Russian fleet to get to the british without declaring war on the SU? I say no. When in A&A is it not “initiating hostilites” to put your war ships into the same sea zone as the opponent?
This how I responded to the German players claim that the Italians could move through the Russians to get to the British.
I can kinda of see where you are coming from but putting naval units in the same sea zone as mine seems to be starting hostilites. Let me put it this way. I as the Soviet Union would consider it an act of war if you bring your naval vessels anywhere near mine. I.E. in the same sea zone.
So what does everyone else think? Do you think I am right or wrong?

Eschaton we have an interesting game going on from your scenerio in “Games in Progress” forum under Admiral_Thrawn(Allies) Vs. Gewher and Cyan(Axis) if you want to check it out. This is probably playing out a little differently than usual. France surviving into the 7th round and counting.

RE: AAE Scenario: Europe 1939 (France, USA, Germany, Britain, USSR, Italy)
I disagree with some of your points. The axis minor powers should have a delayed entranced to reflect history. If not you mine as well have America in the war right away too. Italy did not join with the Germans until it was clear Germany was going to defeat everyone else. He only joined the fight at the very end of the Battle of France.
#5 you misunderstood me. I meant the USA you start with some units like AAE chart has them having or maybe a little less. Yougoslavia did not have a more poweful army than the US.
In my experience the UK fleet can mostly be destroyed Axis turn 1 and very hard to rebuild with uboats on the convoys. Germany at no point could come close to the UK’s navy.

RE: AAE Scenario: Europe 1939 (France, USA, Germany, Britain, USSR, Italy)
Here are some of my suggestions at changing the setup when someone plays this scenerio next time.
1. Italy should have battleship no subs-There biggest contribution was there navy
2. Netherlands Belgium should have 2 Inf.-They had armies too
3. Maybe cut back Yougoslavia to 3 or 2inf. Germans had no problem occupying the country
4. Give the UK another destroyer or 2-Seems extremely weak. Maybe One off of Canada
5. Give US the start off like from the chart in AAE
6. Delayed entranced of Italy,Bulgaria,Rumania,Hungary,Finland-Italy should not join the axis until Poland,Netherlands-Belgium,And eastern France are conquered. The rest joins with free armies after Denmark,Yougoslavia, Greece, Crete, France, and Norway are conquered.
7.Surprise Attack For Axis attacks SU. All units defend on a 1 for the first combat move against them.
like Pacific first move -

Well, when one day Gewehr returns you can show him how to play by email and we can play.
