i like hong kong J1 as well.  are those guys better off fighting the chineses instead?

maybe the wrong place for this, sorry,  is there an abattlemap for aag40?

can anyone steer me in the direction of a link to the newest(or best) abattlemap map for the global game?  please and thank you.

question on UK  NO  for alpha +2 ruleset

“2. Collect 5 IPCs per turn if the United Kingdom controls all of its original territories in the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and Europe. Theme: Maintenance of the empire considered vital national objective.”

does the uk have to still control Malta & Crete in order to get the $5?

i always play the same guy, 1vs1, and it takes forever.  with kids, wives, work…we usually play 1, maybe 2, rounds per night, couple nights a week, for a couple weeks. this way we can start a round at 8 or 9, and be home by 10 or 11.  works out pretty good, except for the constant thinking about the game at work. :mrgreen:

i like to leave a few frenchies in the england box to help differentiate it from the india box.

and im already wealthy and retired, and pointing out when others are incorrect is not being elitiest.

not an elitist, just an irritating snob and show off.  jeez, its just a game.  call the tigers whatever you want bud, im sure no one you play with will care.

the money is from aa50, original aap, (i think i own them all but aa42) and the original axis and allies.  the older ipcs are SOOO much thicker.  pretty cool

thanks fellas. i thought the movable dice tower thing was really cool, but truth be told, we never use it.  both my opponet and i like to roll into a box by hand.  for mojo you know…

the map sections are each supported around the edges, so if you push down in the middle, there is a little give to them.  the best way i found to fix that is not push down on the middles.   i thought of putting a brace across the middle for support, but that would affect my storage areas.

i checked into some plexi to cover the whole board, but for the size piece i would need it would cost around $50.  i cant quite justify that yet.  i stress yet.  i believe with a little effort and luck i can find one cheaper.

i made the rakes with just pieces i had laying around.  not sure if they will ever get used, but sometime i am bored i may stain them or add some axis and allies symbols to them. whatever, whenever.

lol, just made 2 of them today.  one for the axis, one for the allies. 

i like to send a few mech inf and tanks to china once the war starts.  helps keep the burma road open, and japan from getting to frisky with china.  i also back the 18 russian inf up a few spaces till i can get a few tanks or air support for the siberian route.
