Wow, and I didn’t spell “unit” correctly in the title.  :x

Hey guys, sorry If this has been posted, I was unable to find anything using the search. Can anyone point me to a list of the actual WW2 units the A&A global game pieces are based on? Thank you for the help!  :-D

Just picked up Europe 1940 and Pacific 1940 for $125 on Ebay! So exited I don’t think I’ll be sleeping the next few days  :-D

One more question for you folks that have A&A40, is there a difference in the scale of the pieces from the older games, or are they the same?

It’s going to be a bit of a project. The table will not just be used for A&A, but also for Heroclix, Mechwarrior, and a couple other table top games. The latter use a 3’x3’ playing area, so I’m thinking about making a table that splits in half, when not being used for A&A.

I’m sure this has been answered somewhere, but for the life of me, I can’t find it.
What are the exact dimensions of the global map? I’m getting ready to build my gaming table, and want the board to fit nice and snug :)

:-o :-o :-o  I need to change my pants

Very good plan!!!    :-D

I am intrigued. Would it be balanced ok?

MY buddy and I tried out landmines  on Monday. We made them 5 IPC, covered one border, and basically acted the same way AA guns do, but for land unites. If territory was captured mines are destroyed.  Found out these make USSR a bit to powerful, however they did come in handy for Italy as well.

1. Street Fighter (any)

2. AA50

3. Heroclix

4. Zelda OOT

5. Final Fantasy VI / III

World of Warcraft was my top 1 for a long time, 'till it got turned to easy mode in BC  :(
Hoping that Star Trek Online lives up to the hype.

Thanks for the update! Sure am looking forward to these  :-D

On  a side note, what in the world did I do to get bad karma already? lol    :roll:

Well OK.  I can hold off turning big and green for a couple more months I guess.  I’m not sure if you covered this question, but are you including China also? I guess it doesn’t matter. I’ve been using the puke green UK sculpts for them and nobody has said anything yet…

Anyone else fighting the urge to break down the doors at FMG and start screaming HURRY UP DAMMIT!    I NEED IT!!!

Actually the reason I am looking forward to this is because I picked up my AA50 board on ebay for $30, but it came with no game pieces. Been using old gray German sculpts for Italy and destroyers with damage markers under then for cruisers :(

FMG: Are making new pieces for China also? And I’m in for a pre-order!  :-D

I think all 6 major powers should have the standard 25 infantry and maybe 14-15 tanks?. My only gripe is Italy needs a bigger navy and air force.

I think adding the other nations and optional pieces are a good idea, but would we rather have all these extras and still be stuck with the original poor quality ones? That would annoy the crap out me to have half my set good quality and the other half a step above play-doe. Makes much more sense to me to make replacement parts for all powers first, then add extra units/powers.

I think the extras would be nice, but isn’t the point of this to replace the craptastic pieces that we got with the game? I think that should come first IMO

Wow!very nice work!
