Land and Sea AA Mini

Is anybody using VASSAL to play A&A Minis online?

I know playing the board games is widely popular here but I’m wondering if I could spark some interest in play minis via a tool like VASSAL. We have the dice roller and the dice bot on the new forum is almost done. All we would need is a tool and some interest. Maybe a tournament?

@Bolt-Action:

I was wondering if the Axis and Allies Minis play by Forum section is defunct or not, I have seen numerous posts and threads by admins  ( including the only one in the forum itself) saying it is functional and yet there are no games. Is it operational? And how does that work exactly?

Hey Bolt-Action British,

Take a look in the Play Miniatures section, I’m posting the contents of an AAM game.  There used to be many games in that section but a forum glitch nuked-em.  But follow the new thread, ask questions, and you’ll have the hang of it soon!

not to my knowledge. there are units in war at Sea that units can split their main gunnery, but u cant stack units to get more attack dice. all units roll independently

To reiterate, Tide Of Iron is a board game, in that its not collectable.  Everyone gets the same stuff in their box, just like other board games.  They have an expansion that adds some more units and scenarios I think, according to the website.

I’m considering putting ToI on my Christmas list, if I here enough positive reviews of it.

@Audacity:

WHY?

Ditto that question…inquiring minds want to know  :-D

DK is taking over the maintanance of the A&A Mini modules.  That should give me time to contribute the occasional unit graphic, work on other modules like maybe WAS, and work on feature-related items within MapView like clearing dice icons.

Thanks Der Kommander for taking this on!

Nothing at this time.

Thank you very much, that certainly does help.

The scale is quite good but I can see myself adding a bit more detail/colour, or even just mud, to some of those vehicles.

A bit more effort could have been made there, if you compare them with Heroclix or Star Wars miniatures they are almost more like the little plastic soldiers we had as kids, the momotone plastic parts of some of the tanks like the Panzer IV turret are particualrly bad and the light grey MGs look like tacky add ons…

A real attraction to these games for me is not having to paint them, but here it looks like I’ll have to spruce them up a bit anyway. Thanks again.
