A&A Minis Module Support - Unit Requests

@Cinefyl:

do I NEED a starter/base set to get the rules for a particular flavor (Task Force, Flank, Zebra, etc.) Does a base/starter set have enough pieces and parts to let us actually get started (even on a limited scale) to give it a test run without spending major $$$

Thanks!

You don’t need a starter or base set to play if you download the rules.  Each domain (land, War at Sea, and Angels 20/Bandits High) is independent and incompatible with the others.  Within each domain, all sets are completely compatible and no set is necessarily better than another.  The exception is perhaps with the land based game.  In the first four sets the vehicles were not always to scale.  Players call them version 1 or V1.  From the set 1939-1945 and thereafter, the vehicles were much more to scale.  We call them version 2 or V2.  Many, but not all of the vehicles were then reissued.  Many of the soldiers were as well, but they are essentially identical.

The starters have barely enough to get started.  I highly recommend buying some boosters or used collections on eBay.  Btw, I have a few extra unopened 1939-1945 (land game) starter sets and a number of War at Sea boosters:

Flank Speed, x1 booster
Condition Zebra, x1 booster
Set V, x1 booster
Surface Action, x19 boosters

PM for more info if interested.  Good luck and have fun!

i thought it had a bigger gun than a is-3 so 15 for the kv-2 and 18 for is-1/3?  this is right correct or did the is-2/3 hav a bigger gun than the kv-2

@Motdc:

I recall reading that the Poles (I think…maybe it was the French) would cut the wires of the Goliath to defeat them before they detonated.  They were remote controlled, not radio controlled.

Wow! I had no idea about this technology and I study the Reich all the time. Looks like it’s back to the books for me.

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!

@Mechanized:

Maybe Motdc’s map program will help a lot in this kind of game.  :wink:

We just need one or two test games going and then I can continue work on it!

Well damn……no one wants to play against me.  I suppose I can play a test game by myself.  :wink:

For those who are trying to combine the Land and Sea Axis & Allies Miniatures.  Go to http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=ah/aam/maps and download the June Map.  It contains a few pages that are JUST water.

Hope this helps

So back to the German/Chinese issue.

I read the Set II Checklist again and it specifically points out that giving a Chinese army the sdkfz 222 is for scenario play. I think this is just a general rule of thumb for scenarios: if country X had unit Y but unit Y belongs to country Z, just use it in your scenario as country X anyway.

That’s the beauty of this game.

I’m going to start a new thread about Sino-German relations.

This is what I have from 1 starter and 7 boosters
1 MAS 7.5 mm Rifle
2 Renault R-35
1 Commissar
1 KV-1
4 Mosin-Nagant 1891/30
1 T-34/76
3 6 Pounder Antitank Gun
2 Humber Scout Car
3 Inspiring Lieutenant
2 Royal Engineers
1 SMLE No.4 Rifle
3 Vickers Machine-Gun Team
3 Bazooka
1 Jeep
3 M1 Garand Rifle
1 M18 Hellcat
1 M3 Lee
4 M4A1 Sherman
1 M4A3E8 Sherman “Easy Eight”
2 Marines M2-2 Flamethrower
2 Mortar M2
2 Red Devil Captain
1 Light Mortar
4 Mauser Kar 98k
3 MG42 Machine-Gun Team
2 PAK 38 Antitank Gun
3 Panzer IV Ausf. G

I intend to use the Jap 47mm ATguns as Russian 45mm AT guns until they release a Russian AT gun unit. Also The UK AT gun can substitute for the US 57mm AT gun. Shermans and Lees can be used by both the UK and Russians as they were Lend-Lease items.
