RE: Can I play one country….........
mmm, you guys remind of a time when i wanted to create rules for treaties and alike. i always thought it’d be interesting if you could make and break alliances during the game

RE: Cd-rom/vista
let us know if you recall/find the name again Woodstock. i know for a fact that the old PC game won’t work on anything newer than XP. very frustrating, as i used to get my A&A fix this way when nobody wanted to play with me :cry:

RE: Nova Games Axis & Allies

RE: Larger map for AA50 ?
@Imperious:
It will never happen
what if i paid someone to do it for me? :-P

RE: 42 russia defense
it just doesn’t look like russia can stand on her own for too long. attack is the best defence, so it would seem. but uk and/or usa will have to divert some forces russia’s way eventually

RE: Help on stack limits
i’ve run out of units a couple of times, so i did something similar to Cmd Jen, except i drew a little picture of what the unit was (as i like spreading my units out haha). it may look tacky, but it works!

RE: Do you think Italy has been succesfully modeled in the Game?
@TG:
To me, Axis and Allies is still a 5 player game, except the Japanese player (who should play Italy) gets some action on the side.
Moses, why do you feel that the japanese player should control italy in a 5 player game? the german and japanese player are generally talking-over strategy through-out the game, so i really don’t think it makes that much difference :-P

RE: Larger map for AA50 ?
speaking of all this, does anyone know if there’s going to be a larger version off the map that can be purchased? some people (yes, i’m one of them haha) don’t have the time to mess around with printing and sealing and all that
-
RE: Do you think Italy has been succesfully modeled in the Game?
yeah, italy was introduced quite well. they’re small, which they were, but have the possibility to expand and become much larger. i think they’re an interesting nation to play

RE: Just How Old Are We Axis and Allies Players?
started playing around 2002. first game was with my girlfriend-at-the-time’s family. i played USA, and built a bucket-load of bomebers :lol:
purchased the game not long after, and have been playing ever since. long live A&A :-D

RE: 1941 longer than 1942?
i prefer the 7-hour games to be honest. it’s just an all around good time, and i never want it to end :cry:
that said, we’ve had concessions that have made the game a little shorter. all depends how it goes really

RE: Who Paid Full Price $99.00 for AA50?
@Mr:
I… and there were no ‘Marshalling’ cards :cry: Try getting an allied Invasion force into NW france without some… LOL!
i rang up wizards and told them i’d ‘lost’ my marshalling cards and counters from my revised edition. they sent me new ones for free (although i did offer to pay) 8-)

RE: 1942 Japanese strategy
i don’t know about that. i mean, if i was USA and JAPAN was knocking on my door with a large fleet, i’d suddenly become very interested in the pacific. the USA player can afford to take two theatres at once. i guess it just comes down to personal player preference

RE: Japan and IC
i’m pretty sure a battleship would take longer to build and complete than a factory :wink:
-
RE: A&A Membership ranks
i’d still much rather be a battleship than a bomber any day
-
RE: Why are so many people building an Indian IC?
it doesn’t ALWAYS get destroyed on japans first turn. and it generally lasts a little longer in the 1942 setup also. so having a seperate chinese fighter is handy

RE: Memory lane: Those carefree newbie days…
i remember one of the first games i played as germany, i took a beating. as it looked like i was going to lose, i moved a transport with two infantry down through suez (as i had taken a large part of africa at least), and proceeded to move to australia over the next few turns and capture it!
i may have lost germany, but australia became the new fascist capital! (i’m from australia, so there were many lol’s around the board)
-
RE: Which is country is your first choice.
always germany. if there’s a german nation, i take it
-
RE: AA50-1943
germany should definitely have a battleship in a 1941 setup. symbolises their larger fleet before the destruction of the bismarck and the containment of the tirpitz
