    • RE: Hi-Resolution Map

      Yeah, that’s the best I could do.  Sorry I couldn’t give you a hi-res version, but I thought that a preview might be better than nothing.

    • RE: What to do with my classic game?

      @reloader-1:

      If you are in the US, you can get both Axis & Allies Europe & Pacific for $60 each, shipped. Total of $120 for both - not $180!

      How much would shipping be for just one of those games?  I looked all over their site but couldn’t find any shipping price lists.

    • Rules question: U.S. wartime economy

      On page 10 of the rules, it says that when the United States declares war it collects an additional 30 IPCs.  The rules don’t say whether that happens only once or if it happens every turn in which the United States is at war.

      So. . . does it happen only once, or does it happen every turn in which the U.S.A. is at war?

    • RE: Anyone ever play with no luck Dice rules

      @calvinhobbesliker:

      @Dr.:

      There’s another method:  Gather together multiple decks of cards (with the same card back, of course) and remove every card that isn’t an Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.  Shuffle them together, and whenever you’d roll a die, draw one card and that’s your result.

      This guarantees that throughout the game you’ll roll the same amount of one number that you’ll roll of any other.

      How does it do that?

      Simple.  Let’s say that you have a single deck of cards and you’ve taken out everything valued at 7 or higher (counting aces as ones).  This leaves you with 24 cards, four of each number (an ace of diamonds, an ace of spades, an ace of hearts, and an ace of clubs.  Then a two of diamonds, etc. and on up).

      Now, let’s say that you roll 2,496 dice over the space of a game (each player has his or her own deck).  That means you’ve rolled exactly 416 ones, 416 twos, 416 threes, 416 fours, 416 fives, and 416 sixes.  Every possible die roll number has been rolled an equal number of times.  You did not roll a “6,” an automatic miss for every unit either attacking or defending, any more often than you rolled a “1,” an automatic hit for every unit either attacking or defending.

      Completely random (assuming a competent shuffle), but no luck.

    • RE: AAG40 TableTop

      @docfavy:

      I have reworked the Table Top and it holds all 10 of the boxes that come with the game system.  The outside demension of the Table Top is 40"x79".

      How much will you charge for shipping for one of these?

      @reloader-1:

      Those are Plano 3750 Boxes - I have 8 of them filled as well  😄

      How do you fit them into the original AAE40 and/or AAP40 boxes?

    • RE: Please post when (and only when) you finally get your AAE40 home.

      I got mine today from an eBay retailer.  Product + shipping cost U.S. $78.00 total.

      Is that about what everyone else paid from coolstuffinc.com?

      All you folks who ordered from CoolStuffInc.com, did they give you free shipping since your order was over $40.00?

    • RE: Europe Map Projection Redux

      Wait, has the European map been revealed?

      If so, does anyone have a link to it?

      Thanks a million!
