Now if you want to be a real American, just take a pencil and draw the line yourself.

hmm…maybe we have to draw the unit type on the back of those nationalmarkers and flip it back and forth to identify wich nation it actually is…no wonder that the game will take for hours  :? :-D

Americans don’t mind other people killing themselves as long as it doesn’t interfere with us bleeding them dry.

OK so one of the primary things people want to see in AAE40 is more countries represented… usually their home country.

How about this for all AAE40 games sold outside of US, UK, the former USSR, Germany, China, Japan, Australia, Italy and France…

You also get a T-shirt.

“MY COUNTRY FOUGHT IN WW2
AND ALL I GOT IS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT”

Would that work for ya?  :-D

Casualties done by fighters should be taken by other aircraft first, instead of ground units. After air superiority is established, strafing may commence.

At what point would you say air superiority has been established?

When all aircraft of one side are destroyed. I guess you would have to fire air-air between first-strike and regular combat.

Just curious.
I’ve earned some -karma on here discussing this subject (and obviously not learnt my lesson) from those who say forcing air-air combat until all AC are destroyed wastes the IPCs spent on AC and it should be limited to first dice rolls only, no matter who survives.

Personally I don’t really see the realism of that. Just sounds too Gamey to me.
(OK whoever you are, go ahead -1 me until you feel better)

If you want more realism. Each piece should have different attack and defense values when engaged in air,ground  or naval attacks. Bombers attacking at a value of 4 makes sense when attacking ground units, but not against fighters.

well then it skews the worth of a 10 fighter, I may  wish to invest 50 icp’s to stack 5 fighters ontop o 10 inf knowing that i can can defend with my fighters for ten hits. Now if i have to think about you coming with 7 fighters to my territoy against 2 fighters of mine than it mess’s with the whole mechanics of a game i have loved since 86. I would consider a game with that many changes would just be a new game, maybe even step up form A&A as far as realism.Me personaly would not graduate to that game, my flag is firmly planted to Larry Harris’s way of doing things, just enuff reality with enjoyabilty. T he game still brings up discuscion about historic battles in my play group, wish sparks the imagination so its about all I need, also more complex the game the less beer can be dranken.

Well we’re drifting into House Rule territory… and this tangent is definitely far from the original aim of the thread: bitching about AAP40 and dreading what it portends for AAE40.

@i:

Or how about just getting our money’s worth? Whatever that price is.
