Re: Converting images for A&A Mini Modules

Here’s a good idea, buy a starter set so you can get maps and counters.  Download and print the revised cards (most of the cards that come with the minis have been revised).  Print the current rules and give it a shot without using any actual units.  Gameplay is 1 hour time limit… at least you’ll get a couple of games played in one night.

Armchair Generals,

Historic Battlefront’s website has been updated to include a SNEAK PEEK at the Solomon Islands 1942 Battle Map! Here’s the link:

Also, a more thorough description of map size, and what comes in each package has now been posted in the “Our Maps” section. Here’s the link:

Don’t forget to check out the Photo Gallery….

The release date is 1 September

Keep on Tankin’

@Shemar:

Just my luck as I just started getting into the game. I have not found anybody to play in my area with the physical minis yet.

What area?

I see your point too,
but damn that’s a really cool feature that gives AT guns a real purpose in this game.

@Audacity:

What kind of playing surface is this played on?  Is it very large hexes or does speed 2 mean a measurement like inches?

I’ve ordered a case to start with.

The maps use staggered square grids (effectively hexes).

I always find out about the new units in this section that in the front page. lol

I really like the Nebelwerfer.  Its like a Katyusha but without the mobility of one.  However it probaly wont get destroyed as fast as a Katyusha and it has incredible rolls for vehicles.  Cant wait for the next salvo!  :lol:

The FAQ has been updated for Contested Skies. Apparently the addition of airplanes has thrown a wrench in some of the existing rules and abilities.

Hey there Doppelbock! Good to hear from you and I’m glad you enjoyed playing at GenCon and good to see you on the site here.

It was actually my first gaming convention and I thought it was a good time. I’ll defintely be back next year.
