AARTS Wiki Just Getting Started

I am on a quest to convert most of my “pushing plastic” games’ maps to a larger roll up format. I have been able to do that with all of my A&A games thanks to this site! Does anyone have a hi-res scan of the History of the World Map? Either the New Avalon hill version or the Z-Man Games reprint is fine.

11. Now it is the Allied turn. The same procedure is followed as before. The defending CAP fighter shoots at the incoming planes, and they get to fire back.

12. The Japanese CAP fighter misses, but the Allied planes shoot it down.

13. Both planes select the same carrier group to go after. The ships miss their AA fire, so the planes are free to attack.

14. Both planes score a hit on the carrier and it is sunk. Planes must now return home.

15. Planes on both sides must land on their carriers. The US plane lost its carrier, and so must ditch at sea (destroyed). Both sides may reshuffle the composition of their groups. At this point, the Japanese player decides if they wish to retreat, and they choose to continue the battle instead. The Allies, however, choose to retreat, The Allied ships return to port and the Japanese fleet continues on its original mission.

If you really love this game, how can you put up with that old WinXP Small (48x48) Icon on your desktop? I remade that icon with Inkscape and here is the Vector file along with the png export.

(Due to forum restrictions on file types, above originally svg file was changed into tsvg. I tested with Inkscape and it should open with no problem. But the file extension should really be svg, instead of tsvg.)

Oh man, I’ve been looking for a copy for a long time myself! I’m looking forward to the revamped version.

Feudal was my first Avalon Hill game, I played it for hours on end with my friends.

Then I bought The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and Luftwaffe, but never scared up enough interest to get playing (this was late 70s, early 80s).

Fast forward to present and after years of beating each other up on A&A Global, my sons and I picked up copies of Luftwaffe, PanzerBlitz, Third Reich, Midway and Bismarck.

Started with Bismarck, having a lot of fun so far, but makes us want to jump into a game of '41 for simplicity.

Just wanted to mention we are at a stage in the campaign where it is convenient to add more players if anyone is interested.  I happen to enjoy posts at least every two or three days, but there’s no rule saying we have to move that fast, scenes can easily be longer with more role play between more active players while waiting for those with busier schedules to find a minute to login and post a round.

Buy It!!!

Civil War is second to none! :)
It comes with the best combat system ever made IMO.
