Axis&Allies Express: EAST AFRICA

[Pvt.Ryan]

YES! Im looking at the rules now. But wat Pi**** me off is that i dont have my printer hooked up! :x no gameplay today

[Croesus]

@Sun_Tzu:

Just a few things for your rulebook:
1. For setup shouldnt setup be in the title box?
2. In the Necessary Game Components section the words out of the table are overlapping the table
3. In 2B+2C the words are really small but there is a lot of space
4. In a lot of the Unit Profiles, the words don’t fit on the page

Sorry if I’m being nitpicky  :mrgreen:

Not Nitpicky at all, It just had a traumatic experience from keynote to powerpoint. I’ll post the new one after dinner

[Croesus]

I HATE COMPUTERS!!!
MY APPLE IS A NICE THING BUT NO FORMATS ARE PERMANENT

[Pvt.Ryan]

Hey Croesus when will we have the game setup? Are there any optional rules for us players who know how to play?

[Croesus]

As soon as microsoft stops  trying to assassinate this game

[CWO Marc]

@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.
