    • RE: TripleA Assist

      Hmm. Maybe another way to scroll the map that might feel more ‘right’: if you position the mouse pointer on the far left edge of the map, the map will slowly scroll left. Same is true of top or bottom. Also, clicking to where you want to view on the mini-map in the upper right will re-position the view to that general area.

      Thanks, Hobbes for the link to the AA50 game - I didn’t know there was one…  🙂

    • RE: This or Europe/Pacific

      @frimmel:

      @polywog:

      I’ve found Revised to be much more re-playable, though did enjoy a brief and fun spell with Pacific not too long ago.

      ps. Hi all - been away for a year or so. What’d I miss?

      Mostly everything in the Anniversary Edition forum. Those are the most active boards at the moment. Switch resigned but much else remains business as usual.

      Thanks, Frimmel. Pardon the thread hi-jack. I wondered about Switch - I saw a few posts by him as “guest”. What happened? Or is it a sensitive subject?

    • RE: Replacement Cruisers

      This was the first thing I noticed when I opened the box. I was pretty impressed that AH had the replacements on hand and was able to send them out so quickly. I received my replacements in about a week!

    • RE: Un-Bending Ships

      Mine too (both of them). I’m sure it didn’t help that the molded plastic pre-form it came in was also bent.

      I soaked one for a few minutes in hot watter then twisty-locked it to a piece of flat aluminium for 24 hours and that mostly straightened it out. It sill only seems to touch a flat table in 2 places, though….

    • Un-Bending Ships

      Any suggestions for unbending bent ships?

      My worst are my two USS Fletchers (look like less exaggerated n’s)  and  two HMS Truculents (look a lot like u’s)

    • RE: WaS Collections

      @unc_samurai:

      I’ve bought a case of boosters, an extra booster, and two starters.  I’m 9 rares and 2 uncommons short of a set, so I’m getting a second case.  Hopefully I’ll have enough trade fodder to finish the set.  My biggest problem is I got none of the big US rares out of the box, so I’ve had to buy/trade for them.

      Have you gotten the 2nd case yet? If so, how did you do?

      I bought 1 starter, 1 booster and 1 case.

      In the case, I got a repeat of every unit from the starter and booster except 1 (HMS Rodney). In all, I drew an excellent fleet except NO CARRIERS at all until I was on the 3rd to last box, then drew Shokaku, Shoho, St. Lo and Princeton, the latter 2 from the same box. …Also ended up completing the French navy  😞

      Rare-wise, I did end up overall with:

      Iowa
      Yamato
      Tone
      Kongo
      Tennesee
      Rodney
      Graf Spee (x2  :-))
      Vitorio Veneto
      Richelieu
      Shokaku
      Exeter
      Princeton
      Bolzano

      The magnet pieces: I ended up with 4 Hurricanes, 3 Stukas, 3 U-510’s (good), 3 Italian Ambras (less good), 3 Samuel B. Roberts.

      Also, the fleet orientation is surprisingly balanced: 510 points for the allies, 549 for the axis

    • RE: Samurai Swords AKA Shogun

      Yup. If the would-be assassin misses, the target rolls a die. On a 9 or higher, he picks one of your generals for head chopping.

      Great game.

    • RE: TripleA Changes for PBEM

      I played my first on-line game with both my board and TripleA… Somehow, a stack of 5 red chips under a plastic infantry is more sobering than a number next to an icon!
