    • RE: Average age of players

      Great poll, me and my friends were always wondering if we would be beaten by 12 year old posters on the blog, turns out aa.org is populated by vets!

      We play this Great Game regularly and we are (4 of us) all in the age group 27-29.

      Got into contact with AA Classic in college when I was 18 and have been playing ever since. From Classic, to revised, to AA50, to G40 (and scaling down to E40 again due to the impossible lenghth the f2f game has come to)

      The guy who brought me into contact with the game was playing since he was 10 or so. Last time he played was in 2008 though, he really was bedazzled (and confused) by AA50.

      Cheers!

      @Krieghund:

      @soldaatvanoranje:

      Okay, I thought the same as Aleman, but there are mixed signals and I am getting confused  :?

      Sherrif Krieg! Deputies!  😉
      Can I get a verdict on landing of allied planes on Dutch territories under Dutch control?

      James is correct.  However, as a point of clarification, only UK and ANZAC may claim Dutch territories (using land units only) that have not been captured by the Axis.

      @soldaatvanoranje:

      Krieg, Gamerman, Kcdzim:
      What is your verdict?

      Jen and James are correct.

      Thanks Krieg! Always the best support at AA.org!

      @soldaatvanoranje:

      Hi All,

      I hope this isn’t answered already in this thread.

      I have a question relating to the new Alpha 3+ AA-guns. The rules state:

      “Each AA gun in the territory may fire up to three times, but only once per attacking air unit.”

      Does this mean that when I have 4 AA-guns in a territory and two planes attack that territory, I get to fire 8 times at the planes? In abstracto: each AA-gun may fire at each plane? (max 3 off course)  :?

      Thanks!

      No, that means that you get to fire one shot at up to 6 attacking planes.  If an attacker brings 11 planes, then 5 of them will not be shot at by your AA Guns in that battle.

      Up to 12 planes, no?

      In short:
      If you have 4 AA’s and 20 planes attack, you shoot with 12 dice.
      If you have 4 AA’s and 1 plane attacks, you shoot with 1 dice.

      Jenn and Special Forces, Thanks for your help.

      I am not yet convinced though: the rules state that each AA gun may fire at 3 planes, but not more than once at 1 plane at a time. It doesn’t say that 2 AA-guns together may only fire once in total at the same plane.

      The way I read the rules is that each AA-gun may target 3 individual planes. They don’t have to take regards to the circumstance that there are other AA’s in the territory.

      So: when a player attacks a territory with 1 plane but there are 2 AA-guns, I’d say both AA-guns may fire at that plane.
      So –> 1 plane vs 2 AA = 1diePlane vs 2diceAA

      By that logic, I’d also say that if there are 2 planes attacking 2 AA-guns, the 2 planes both get fire from both AA guns. So 4 dice for AA vs the 2 planes.

      This stops of course when there are more than three planes attacking the teritory. In that case you’d have to split up your dice.

      (Otherwise I wouldn’t really see the added value of the new aa-gun rule.)

      Krieg, Gamerman, Kcdzim:
      What is your verdict?

      Thanks!!! 🙂

      @special:

      @soldaatvanoranje:

      Can I land with UK, ANZAC and US planes in Dutch territories (DEI and Suriname), while they are still under Dutch control?  :?

      nee 🙂

      They have to be land units
      (i don’t know if USA can do this at all, i suppose they can, once at war…)

      Yes, air units at war may land on allied territories, Dutch territories are allies with USA,UK,Anzac,USSR,China, and France.
      Prior to the “special” conversion rule with land units, you can use Dutch territories as landing sites even if you do not intend to take it over, it is still an ally. Dutch is different than other allies, in that you may take over its IPCs unlike any other ally whose capital is in enemy hands without having to liberate it first from the Axis.

      Regarding aagun Min/Max rules: (if I have this hammered down)
      No aagun may fire more than 3 times. No plane may be shot at more than one time by any number of aaguns.

      Okay, I thought the same as Aleman, but there are mixed signals and I am getting confused  :?

      Another question:

      Can I land with UK, ANZAC and US planes in Dutch territories (DEI and Suriname), while they are still under Dutch control?  :?

      (And I know USA should be at war)

      One would say that seen the Dutch Queen and government are in London already, they wouldn’t mind some allied planes defending the colonies… :roll:

    • AAG40 Alpha 3+ Map

      Hi All,

      When preparing for a game I always loved the setup maps. Yet AA50 was the last I could find, so with the new AAG40 Alpha3+ I decided to make one myself.

      I wouldn’t want to withold it from you all, so here you are:

    • Alpha 3 Setup Map

      Hi All!

      In my preparation I always loved having the old setup maps (made by Krieg I believe). As there hasn’t been one availabble for any of the versions after AA50, I decided to make one myself. It has been monkswork (as we say in Holland ). And having one, I asked myself: “Why not sharing it with all of you?”

      So: Enjoy!!

      SvO

    • RE: Alpha +3 = UK1 Factory in EGY breaks the game?

      If Italy’s weakness is your worry, why not get their big brother involved in the Med?

      I guess Italy would be massively helped by either a German Southern France or German Balkan with a minor IC putting some warships into the Med.
