Movies to watch while playing AA

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.
See this thread for some links.

BANG!!
“Don’t you throw… that ruddy spear… at me!”
*Runs Zulu through with sabre while reloading service revolver one handed… using special technique taught to a few high ranking English officers…"

Hehe. I second the choice of Das Boot. It is both funny and scary when the silence breaks with a really loud, really desperate whisper in german. Especially when everybody sucks at german.
