Axis and Allies Express: Links

@thrasher1 Maybe it is time for me to thank some people. The people who came before me… All the guys (and maybe girls) at game magazines who published Axis and Allies (and Fortress America and Shogun related stuff). I never got one of these magazines myself however.
But for now: a big shout-out to these pre-internet guys! If anyone from you is here on this forum: please send me a message if you want.

Blacky’s WW1 map looks like it has The Great War map from TripleA as a base, then he probably used photoshop or similar software to change it.

I wasn’t able to ask him again. What really surprised me was that he’s just 17 and recognized the game right away.

@georgemak1:

A question for the HBG crew. Any idea when the next German set is due?

November

So theres a bunch of mods to download on the A&A wiki.Are they compatible with the ABattleMap?

Well, relative to the tanks, if we were looking for an objective, uniform scale it would be a bit big, I think, but since that isn’t our goal, I think it’s fine.

I’d be fine with the WF colors, too, if they had a complete piece set.

As it is, I still might find several of their models useful for “special unit” upgrades (like how the original AAP used dark green for USMC)

But what I’d really like to see is a cool array of options for ships, especially the marquis ones, the BB’s & CV’s (and even the CA’s).  I’d definitely spend some money on that. I already have… but my Panzerschiffe plastics and 1/3000 metals are still just too big.  I even tried some 1/6000 metals, but they were too small.  If FMG or WF or TT made some of these, I’d be all over that!  You could maybe sell them by the piece; I don’t know if you could make the ROI come together on such a radically different sort of project, but I’d easily spend the same per piece that Panzerschiffe, Navwar, & Skytrex are charging per piece to get models that are much closer to AA scale (and AA colors, though I’d willingly take the time to paint them if necessary)…

Idk, just thinking aloud, here, but maybe this is an opportunity?

@Imperious:

its on his site. look it up.

Here is one of the threads on the subject.

Thanks.  I’ve been reading the site a lot, but this thread is great.  Again, thank you.

It’s amazing how players like Krieghund, Adlertag, and Imperious Leader got to help shape the AA50 game.  If it were me, I’d be really proud of that.  I’m really glad someone was pushing for Italy in the game.  IMO it was one of those “About Time!” decisions.

These are those washers in 3/4 that i posted earlier…painted so its easy to identify nation
