AA50 Double Blind in CT Friday Apr 2nd….

@Imperious-Leader Maybe you went this way since the original design does archetypally the same, but how about, in the land-to-land borders, colourizing the borders of the borders, while leaving the inside of the borders light grey?
This way, you could properly define the colours for the borders between territories with different ownerships (for example, having the border between Poland and East Poland grey on the west and red on the east).

The Soviet symbol in the turn order is different from the ones inside the territories.

The Azores are sometimes neutral and sometimes American (also probably it would make more sense as British than Americans, but debatable and pointless).

In the “AA50 Suplreme Edition” there are no territories for Azores and Malta, but only the roundels?

@MidnightExpress:

I just saw two AA50 auctions on ebay sell for $185.02 and $201 plus shipping so it’s not an unattainable game.

Yeah…but did you notice that it was the same person that won each of those items?

k***y must have really wanted two copies @ a total cost of $410.32 (shipping included), or maybe they were just shill bids?  Who knows…but it was those two auctions that directly led me to simply purchase some HBG and FMG Italian units and augment my 1942.2 game  :-P

@Adlertag:

@bugoo:

How would the odds fall with 3 subs 1 bomber?

Now that was a depravity line of thinking. Imagine Eisenhower abort D-day 1944 because the odds was not good enough. We would all be speaking german now. If you want to win games, you need to strenghten your fighting spirit and breed more aggression. Peacekeepers dont win wars, you know that, now do you ? Butt enough talk. Now you better gimme a + karma and help me reach the magic 800 before Frog.

good luck with 800, but i’ll support :)

or worse, we would be speaking russian!

Between 9 and 15 rounds on average.

It comes down to how well a player can forecast what he wants when it is not his or her turn and what options you have going.

@ Corbeau Blanc

I’m wondering if you are still interested in some test games. I sent you a PM a few days ago with a about it, so read that before you reply.

I told you people to buy 6 copies like 9 months ago!

See you could have created a new commodity with more value than gold.

Thats correct. Craig B. asked a question and Craig A.  answers. I know its my own weird little joke but work with me here.

I thought it was funny. anyway.

I was just reading the end of this thread: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/341599

…and it got me thinking. There a lot of people that would like to see an even amount of attention to both the theaters of war, and I realize that the NOs are now an effort along with VCs to encourage such play… Im just wondering, wouldnt VPs be a great way to force the allies to spread their efforts in multiple directions instead of the standard KGF?
You could do VPs for the axis or allies as a group, OR you could do it as individuals - so if japan gets too large (left alone), it can win the game by itself so to speak… same goes for japan, they cant focus ALL their efforts on the charge to moscow, as the usa could steal all the VPs from the pacific…

Just thinking out loud mostly ;)
