As soon as microsoft stops  trying to assassinate this game

@Croesus:

Yes, that is Hailie Selassie, The Ethiopian Leader during this campaign.

“I must still fight on until my tardy allies appear, and if they never come, I say to you without bitterness, the West will perish.”

• Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia (speech to the League of Nation, after Italy invaded Ethiopia)

Nice work Croesus. I cant wait to test it out.

[Pvt.Ryan]

Again do you have any NAs?

[The Dessert Fox]

Nice work. Maybe we could combine East Africa Syria/Iraq and El Alamien into a campiagn Such as The Middle Eastern/african campiagn

[The Dessert Fox]

Nice looking rule book Croesus

I will be happy to play test. But will have to by using the forum dicey

[Croesus]

@Pvt.Ryan:

That  is coming, as well as reinforcement charts

@The:

Nice work. Maybe we could combine East Africa Syria/Iraq and El Alamien into a campiagn Such as The Middle Eastern/african campiagn

That might work, but That would
A) Have to be a monstrous game
B) no longer really be express
C) I still love My East Africa campaign and the new proposed game will only be in addition to the games

How do you use the dicey, I tried to start a game earlier couldn’t figure it out

[A Former User]

You type in :dice #d#: The first # is how many dice you want to roll and the second # is how many sides the dice has.

What I meant was that it was like a box set. With three games in it

So you would buy the AAX African/Middle Eastern campiagn box set and they would get:

AAX East Africa
AAX 2nd battle of El Alamien
AAX Operation Exporter

[The Dessert Fox]

Like what Sun Tzu is doing with Japanese islands

He could put all island games in a box and it would be a campiagn.

Obviously these would not be sold. Or if they were the would not be called Axis and Allies Express because of copyright reasons

Also is anyone make a game based on Kokoda?

[Croesus]

I’ve got New Guinea. The map is looking B-E-A-utiful. I’ll post it sometime soon

[Croesus]

I need to figure out how to play on forum so  I can playtest. Who wants to teach me

[The Dessert Fox]

First of all if we are going to play on the forum I need to either:

a) create a battlemap module
or
b) Print out the map and play on real map with own pieces and post moves online

Problems with a):

1. I need to create the module and so that will take anywhere from a day or 2 to a couple of weeks depending whether or not create the sector info.

Problems with b):
1. I don’t have mech inf, cruisers or tactical bombers because the only edition I own is Revised

Anyway to play by Forum or PBF to use the dicey we roll like this

<colon>aaa x@y a@b etc. <colon>Ie.

Rolls: 4@1 3@2 2@3 1@4; Total Hits: 34@1: (2, 6, 2, 5)3@2: (4, 2, 2)2@3: (5, 3)1@4: (6)

NB. No space between Colon and aaa or the last number and colon.</colon></colon>

[The Dessert Fox]

Remember to put a space between 1@2 and 2@3 etc.

@The:

<colon>aaa x@y a@b etc. <colon>NB. No space between Colon and aaa or the last number and colon.</colon></colon>

Im confused about what the aaa is after the colon… Please explain

[The Dessert Fox]

You go like this

:aaa

It was just the way Djensen wrote the code

[Croesus]

How hard is it to make a Battlemap module? can I do it?

[The Dessert Fox]

you could

I have not fully created a proper one I have just fidled round with one. I suggest you:

1. download battle map
2. Download Funcs G40 mod
3. Go to the software forum and go to the battle map module tutorial (it should be stickied)

If you are going to create one

Use funcs pieces which should have everything you need. I can help you if you like. I suggest we don’t create sektor info because that will make the project longer and do we need to know what the territories rp or ipc value is?
