@jdow ouch.

Dang, looks like i just missed out.
I hope Big E is enjoying it.

I know the guadalcanal forum had lots of people saying it’s the worst a&a game. Hopefully someone that doesn’t enjoy the game will be able to help me out.

@allweneedislove:

Thanks for all the good ideas reaper!

But I still want the box, I find it quick and most importantly fun to reveal the dice one at a time.

Midnight Reaper’s first proposed option, which basically involves cloning the box to produce a duplicate, actually has a long-term advantage: once you’ve obtained the scans and have worked out the details of producing a clone, you’ll be able to produce as many as you want from now into the future.  From your posts, I get the impression that your OOB battle box is worn out because it gets heavy use; if you simply replace it with an OOB battle box purchased from someone who’s willing to part with their copy, the same wearing-out fate will ultimately befall it and you’ll once again have to try to purchase a replacement from somebody.  If AAG was still in print, this wouldn’t be a problem…but since it’s out of print, there’s a ceiling on how many original battle boxes exist in the first place.  Producing your own version and creating a new copy as required would solve the problem permanently.  And in fact, you could take the concept further and produce a sturdy one (made of thin balsa wood rather than cardboard, with some felt added to reduce the rattling sound) which would last indefinitely.

I love reapers first idea
“1) You could scan the sides of the box, put them on sticker paper, find a new box, and sticker the new box with the look of the old box.”

But it’s find a new box part that I want help with.

Thanks for all the good ideas reaper!

Unfortunately in personal messages cminke never had the box.

Does anyone have one they want to sell or trade?

I love this game but my box is falling apart.

hmmm tough move with that tempting target, i will have to think about this move more.

Yes, sorry for the long delay, I should get the move tonight

@JDOW:

Sir, it appears to me you need more than love to overcome that Allied-Cash-Beast :-)

The Axis need to be ruthless and make progress!

nah the axis are pacifists.
if these ruthless allies would just layoff we could all get along.
