U.K. Pieces Different Colors?

I guess they back-pedaled  on this for the Revised edition.  Sounds familiar; I must have forgotten.

I didn’t play as much Revised - there was only 4 years between that and AA50, during which time we were still playing a lot of Europe and Pacific.
I did enjoy the Minor Victory version.  It was a tight game, well balanced, and required a very different strategic approach than the other options.

@Cmdr:

Actually, I am quite proud that I, and game play, have convinced about 25% of the voters

….

40 votes Russian Fighter
10 votes British Bomber

I really, really look for things to agree with you about jen. I like your enthusiasm in your analysis. But im confused. How can you incorrectly quote vote results that are posted at the top of this thread. How can anyone agree with you when your misrepresent obviously verifiable facts. Note the time and date of my post here. I am going to reproduce the numbers I see at the top:

ONE Russian Fighter  34 (79.1%)
ONE British Bomber  7 (16.3%)
ONE Japanese Fighter  1 (2.3%)
ONE American Bomber  0 (0%)
ONE German Fighter  1 (2.3%)
Remove Vote

Total Voters: 43

Look, they even include a handy % next to the number for us!! sweet. So 43 total votes. 7 for UK bomber. And logically, if 79.1% of the votes are for the russian fighter, it does not mean Jen can claim the other 20.8%. There are other options, created be Jen herself. Think of those as the Nadar vote, it doesnt count for your side Jen.

Again, why should we debate easily verifiable facts, especially ones posted at the top of the page!!!

Hence my observation of the Florida vote count (no political agenda was implied!)

@Scalenex:

What is the difference between A&ARevised and A&ARevised Enhanced?

A man, a dream, and a day off from work.

Axis and Allies Revised Enhanced!  Like your grandpa’s war stories, but with REAL German strippers.

I have seen them on ebay in the last few days. Search for “axis and allies japan” to narrow the search to about 20, then look at the seller’s other items to find the rest of what you want. Otherwise you’ll wade through  about 1500 to 2000 items. “Revised” may just bring up the entire game.

Good hunting.

:-o
  Yes, my sons and I painted up two games worth of pieces of the classics set. And after looking at the Danish pieces, we did a much better job. We did get a few of those HO scale figures for specialty units, ( house rules) marines, mechanized infantry , artillary, and paratroops. But, I modified the bombers to trimotors for germans and twin engine for japan. Fingernail clippers work great for chopping off motors and trimming wing tips and tails. Don’t worrry about messing up, the Russians have exta that you can paint :wink:.
  I even converted some transports to look like destroyers, ( the old DD ships). Each nationality has a different configuration.
I also did a few mods on the tanks, but there wasn’t an easy way to make tem look exactly right, so I painted their battle flags over the top of the turrents. Same with the ships. I am really proud of how well we painted up the fighters though, the Japanese fighters with dab paint almost disapear in  FIC! All carrier planes have a light blue underbelly too.
The infantry are mounted on pennys, and sand was glued over the bases and painted light or dark browns, then we glued on a few specks of moss. the edge of the penny was then painted to match the nationality color. The figures look great on top of a stack of chips! And  the penny keeps them upright, even after the table takes a heavy bump, ( that is why I put them on pennys).
  Again, we painted up several as specialty units, Guards ,SS, Airborne, etc…
I know you requested pics, but I don’t have any closeups. So after I get done moving in the next couple of weeks I will shoot some and post them.
I also glued two each of the 5 different nationality markers on pennys for the National Production chart. The chart itself I trimmed to fit the lower right corner of the gameboard and glued it on. The battle board, which rarely gets used, still floats around loose, but I did contemplate gluing to the inside of the top of the box, may yet.

I have yet to purchase a revised edition game or any of the other AA games, though I have played them at tourneyments. I just don’t have the time to do all that painting right now. My boys have grown up and moved away, and my new wife keeps me busy with other things. Perhaps soon though I will bite the bullet and get myself the revised game.
    Now where did I store those paints? :roll:

I’ll leave that for others who may have some possibilities.

For me, I have a near triplicate set of AAR figures (only double INF), as well as my original Classic A&A set that I can raid at need.

The cheapest option may actually be to just buy a second game, especially if you can find a used one…

LOL, but in the last game, the US was not going to drop 12 divisions into Western on US5… they were still screwing around in the Pacific (and I already have more gains in the Pacific this game than last…)

You are playing MUCH better this game Octo.  I congratulate you on your improvement!  If you had played Germany like you did in our first match, you would be toast now.  Very pleased that you have stepped up and made this game a serious challenge!

Here is a wild one…

Catholic Mass:  Allows Italy to ONCE call for the Pope to endorse Italy’s roll in the war.  If succesful (1 in 6 on die) would create 1 INF in every neutral nation that was largely Catholic, controlled by Italy.  Effected nations:  Spain, Argentina, Peru, Venezuala.  IPC amount for each effected nation raised to 1 each.

And this for your “frogmen”
Scuttle Crew:  Would allow 1 INF to attack 1 Allied naval unit that PER INF that is adjacent to an Italian held territory containing INF (Italy specifies targets).  INF rolls normal attack (1 in 6) and if succesful sinks 1 Allied ship. Such attack preceeds normal attack round.  Failure is loss of Italy INF.
