Yes i really miss all of the unique rules these older games had to offer. Like the j1 kill everything rules, or the allies paying for oil rule in europe. Convoying was wayyy beter in these games, but the problem i have with it is that its not an attack. Maybe we should have the ships roll dice and whenever they hit, the other player loses money, ON THE TURN OF THE AGGRESOR! The problem i have is that by the time its the enemies turn, they have destroyed you fleet that was blockading you convoy. Having it be an attack would fix so many issues when it comes to convoying.

Can someone please tell me what the colours of the pieces are in A&A, AAE and AAP? I know what the A&A colours are from the computer game, but they arent identical in the board game. This is important for my World War 1 scenario. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Thanks a lot Guest. The colours it gives me for pieces in my scenario are:
light red, dark red, tan, yellow, black, gray, dark green and a regular green. That’s the 8 colours I need for game pieces. Thanks a lot! -
I contacted Wizards of the Coast and they told me svgames.com would be selling extra pieces and other Avalon Hill products in about a week.

My question is, the game box contains 345 units, but my newly purchased game only contains 335 plastic units (the grey and red chips not included).
Has anybody a complete list about the units in every coulour?
For example: Japan 25 infantry, 8 tank. 4 carrier and so on. -
