Hi,
I’d just like a standard map for this version of the game thats not modded or has any personalization and thats not too big a file -I’ve seen some pdfs that scroll very slowly and thats not very useful.
Movies to watch while playing AA
-
yeah, i’d go with falconrider about kelly’s heroes or where eagles dare.
but that brought me to the thought of I’d be distracted by those and not play my best, so I guess the optimal thing to do would be to have something playing that will distract my opponents?
for instance–they like the war movies, show those
they like comedies, show those
they like chick-flicks… what the heck are you doing playing AA with them? -
my group has actually put on music from the 30’s and 40’s. like them music :-D

Saving Private Ryan
-
Sometimes we’ll put a movie on in the background…
U-571
Oh please NO!!!
I know A&A isn’t a historically accurate board game, but that film is so bogus
It was British personnel from HMS Bulldog who first captured a naval Enigma machine, from U-110 in the North Atlantic May 1941, before the United States entered the war. The british government even issued a statement condemming the film.
Imagine, if you would British Soliders raising the flag on Iwa Jima in a film?
Anyways, I would put a documentary series on. I prefer a good war doco to most war films, as historically inaccuarcy makes the history teacher in me rage :-D

I know that’s why I put the little devil smile at the end of my post.

I like that movie. Micheal Caine and that other bloke did quite well. Lots of tension and the end was cool.
-
I second Band of Brothers. What a great miniseries. If you haven’t seen it, watch it now.

“Don’t you throw… that ruddy spear… at me…” fires service revolver into face of attacking Zulu…
-
Zulu dies…. 120 take his place… Lets see you fire again.

We generally have military marches from the time period playing in the background. If you ste i up right the music even matches up with the turns pretty much.
