Still struggling getting the individual modules.

I noticed in the articles section that all of the miniature sets have reviews except for the Reserves.  Is DL planning on putting out a review of those units, too?

Sweet!  I’m anxiously awaiting!

Additionally, if you download the scenarios that you’ll find at www.axisandallies.com, they’ll actually list suggested units for you.  It makes quick, pick-up games much easier to get started.

bump How are the repairs to the website coming?  Any chance I can download the files anywhere soon?

Good question.  It must have been over on AH’s board.  I should post the question over there then.  :oops:

What are they and when do you make them?  I don’t see them anywhere in the basic rules book.

I can take it!  Bring them on!  I can’t get anyone around here to play with me.  I’m getting tired of playing with myse…wait…  Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing the viability of this program!!!

PM is away.  Also, if anyone else has the latest UDMs, please PM me or email them to the addy in my profile.  Much obliged!

If you were playing against me, I’d allow you to use the stats of a Tiger, provided you’d use the appropriate cost and just represent it on the map with a different armor unit.  I’m not one to force someone to go purchase a rare just so that they can compete against me.

I’d be interested in trying it out.  I have mapview, but not the latest build by motdc.

It’d be nice if you could mail your old cards to them and have them send you new cards to replace them.

I’m still fairly new to playing.  That being said, I’m finding the 100 point games work very well for a quick game.  I have incorporated the ‘Expert Rules’ platoons and nationality point adjustment ideas though.  They seem to work very well!

Whoot Whoot!!!

…I mean, Me too!!!

@Motdc:

I actually didn’t declare what defense value I was attacking.  I was just trying to get the roller to give me my raw Successes.

I always mess up what to call those.  I meant 3 total successes.  You’re getting the opposite of what you’re asking for.  That’s ok, as long as you’re aware of it.  In your post, the system told you that you had 6 hits.  What you actually got was 3 successes or:

9 dice - the 6 that the system registered.

@Motdc:

Rolls: 9@3; Total Hits: 69@3: (3, 2, 6, 1, 1, 5, 4, 1, 1)

As long as your recognize that you actually get 9-6 or 3 total hits.

Ok, I think I can field these.

1)  Markers go face down so that you can remove distruption counters from previous turns before resolving disruption counters for the current turn.  During the casualty faze, you’ll remove any currently face up distruption counters (unless a card tells you otherwise) and then turn over all face down counters.

2)  Generally speaking, you’ll place units on opposing ‘short’ sides of the maps.  Units may deploy within 5 full hexes of the near edge of the map.  That being said, different scenarios may call for special deployments and different units (paratroopers and heros) may deploy differently per their cards.

3)  All 5 current versions of the minis work together.  You may have up to 4 total units in a hex.  Only two from any given side and only one total vehicle per hex.  Thus, you could have one allied tank and one allied soldier as well as two axis soldiers.

An excellent point.  I ROCK!  Ha ha…thanks for the ego boost.

The rulebook states that defensive-fire is a special kind of attack that is a lot like a regular attack.  Because of that, I’d be inclined to say that cover-fire would negate it.

Well, I disrupted an infantry unit!  If you look at my actual rolls, only 4 hits.  But, look at the 1’s!!!

That’s a pretty cool tool.

I’m also in the “foot the bill” category.  But, I’m going to by my buddies starter kits for their next birthdays or whatnot.  Once they have a couple of pieces of their own, the desire to get more will likely kick in.

Keep in mind, with that dice roller that it’s set up for regular A&A.  So, you can’t really use the number of hits accurately.  You can still register the die rolls though.

Let me see what my tank will do:

Rolls: 17@4; Total Hits: 1417@4: (5, 3, 1, 2, 4, 5, 1, 2, 5, 1, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)

I like that idea Audacity!  We’ll have to give that a try.

Looks like I’ve got it downloaded and installed properly.  Pretty slick looking, so far!

Any time after the army is built but before deployment is fine, I think.  I usually play that we reveal as soon as we’re both done building our armies.

Mmm…Daisy Duke.  Sorry, that’s really all Hazzard means to me.  Sounds like he left an impression though.
