Dream Team A&A Match Up

@MrMalachiCrunch:

I wasn’t going to comment but positive feedback should not be withheld.  The choices were pretty amusing especially the one about the original Nova version, I wish I still had mine.  Had the question been “ever” and not “last 5 years” I would have been honoured to check that one.  I guess I really am getting old!  Say that to me at the gym after an hour sonny!   :wink:

True, I could have checked off a few more myself if the question was ‘ever,’  but I was more curious as to what games are still being played, and from the looks of it, most of them are, even the ones that are more than a decade old.

@Gargantua:

They “construed” attacks on terrible tournament design, as personal since they designed it.

That’s not my problem.  Read my words again carefully.  And the first stone was cast when it was suggested, AA players weren’t competent enough to caluclate NO’s at the end of their turn, or that they can’t be trusted to use tech or play the 41 setup.

As the natural champion of “the people” around here… I jumped to your defence. You’re welcome GHR2. :)

How did you interperet any of that as an attack on the people?  Are you seriously assuming that all brand new players know all the NO’s for every country and knows how every single tech works and how to roll with them?  Because a significant amount of people who go to gaming conventions are people who walk around and try out new games.  So it is logical that for some tournament hosters might want to make things as simple as possible so that new players are less than intimidated and that the game runs faster.

Yeah… the Army is so full of acronyms we tend to forget that they are not actual words…

LOST: Looking Over Strange Terrain

Ah, the English Language. I recently have fallen in love with Quiznos sandwiches (haven’t really had them in life). Double Cheesesteak is unreal. I’d have those with some Arby’s fries any day.

I have pretty much every version from 2nd Edition right the way to 1942, but would really like to start expanding the size of my game boards. I know of a number of companies that can do this but will first require a large image (in PDF format preferably).

Has anyone produced any large sized images of the game boards for printing? If so where can I procure them??

@Yanny:

The earth is warming up, I think theres pretty good evidence of that. Underground temperatures have risen a few degrees, polar ice caps are melting, all small signs. The cause is also probably a combination of greenhouse gases, the shifting equilibrium of the earth, and other small things. However it is a dangerous trend and we need to take steps to prevent it. Should it be our top priority, no.

The evidence is not as good as many people think. In the 1970s the trend was that temperatures were falling. It all depends on where you start counting from. An experiment with double the amount of carbon dioxide proved that plants with the increased carbon dioxide levels grew to double their normal size and could produce double the amount of oxygen, therefore sustaining a larger population. Even the satellite proof fails to take clouds into account, which lower he temperature a great deal.

thanks for the replies.i liked the idea of making germany take 2 capitals for a7a europe althoulgh it might make the game a bit lopsided.

At first I really liked pacific but as I play europe more and more I am beginning to like it just as much
