@RisingSun I had similar experience, I was big into the naval miniatures but couldn’t afford both. I bought a lot on ebay a year or so ago and have played a few games. It is not difficult to learn especially if you are familiar with the navy side, it’s pretty similar but includes facing. I think it’s a great game and wish I had collected it some when it was active.
Why is Foruminis so much more popular than here?
-
Well we have a new MIni’s Mod - Me, and i will do what I can to make our Miniatures section better and hopefully more active :lol:
-
Excellent :)
Can’t do the Mr Burns impression on here but you get the idea. My suggestion would be to get the Play by Post Section running, but i don’t know exactly why it was shut down so there might be a problem I’m unaware of. -

Sweet! I will do what I can to help too.

Wanna play by post game of War at Sea Field Marshall?
-
I’ll play you a game of AAM Land, although I have no map skills whatsoever. :D
-
I will play a land game, but i really am much more experienced with the Boats.
Map skills is nothing more then knowing how to use photobucket, and its edit features

I’m not against the idea if you don’t mind if I post in the evenings when I’m not at my LGS playing. 200 points?
-
I got tons of land maps and so does Rebel. We both make maps.
-
well may i make the suggestion that you 2 guys make a map repository thread, one for land and 1 for Sea, and if you have any for the Air game, that would be cool as well
-
Sure Field marshall, I would choose your top Map of the 2 for our match. 200 pts is fine
-
Want to start a thread in the Play by Post section?
Nation preferences? I just bought a bunch of US cruisers and destroyers and want to take a few to sea. Any Restrictions?
-
i already did it under the play miniatures thread
-
In regards to the activity differences, it used to be active here. Comparing it now is not a fair comparison.
In regards to maps and such, I will help adapt any MapView modules for AAM of WAS that are needed. It works better than photobucket for PBEM. Let me know.

How is it not a fair comparison? We aren’t  talking about a year or two ago, we are talking about why its more popular now. I don’t really see your point……
-
please do Motd. WaS especially
-
Hmmm, I suppose you are right. I guess I shouldnt have said it’s not a fair comparison. I just remember when it was vibrant and back then I would have said AA org had the edge. But yes, at the moment it is a bit behind.

Oh ok. Â :-)

I have made two thread elsewhere for AAM, and I have a few homemade maps for AAAF, and WAS ones as well.
Here’s an example of an AAM Carto Thread:
http://axisandalliesunderground.com/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=658I could do one with some WAS maps, and the few AAAF maps that have been made, but there are some problems.
My photobuckets account gets nearly maxed out every month just having two Carto threads, so adding a 3rd might make it overload and make the maps not visible… which would not be good! Next year I plan to get a “pro” account… but for now, it has a limit! :D
Another thing is that I can’t seem to do [spoilers] on this forum, so without them the post will be REALLY long! :D
And lastly, due to time constraints, I might not be able to have an “upkeep edit” on all three threads. Still, If I can figure out a way to get around the first two, I’d love to! (I think I’m gonna make a separate account this Summer and add all the pics from there, to get my account back!) :DAlso, if anyone needs a map of any kind, PM and I’ll see what I can do!

Heres a link to an instructional post on how to do Play-by-Post matches with maps & Mini’s I will provide. Check it out! I would like to play a match but time is an issue for a couple of weeks but we can play later if you don’t find a player. It might be worth a post to see if anyone else wants to give it a try. I will be available to answer questions and help with rules clarifications.

If you want to get some of the forum mini’s traffic here you need to break the news on a WAS set 7 here :-D
