The War Game

Looks cool , are the game pieces A&A scale ? i might just get the  game pieces for Germany lol

@Brain:

Yes - I believe he pieces are the same scale.

Now guess what, I too own this game, but some of my pieces was not in the old A&A scale.

The infantry are slightly bigger than the old A&A inf, but same size as the new A&A inf.
The tanks and fighters are way too huge.
The ships are almost same size as A&A, but they are not cut in the waterline, they actually come with the full hull, with rudder and screw and everything, man.

Thanks guys lol

Humm but the pieces look quite detailed >< i want my tiger ! and jet fighters !

Nah not yet , im still thinking since you guys said the size isnt right and all ><

PS: although my table tactics pieces came in today lol

Ill properly get a bag next month , ill see if i can post some pictures then XD

lol fine lol i meant ill probably get a bag next month , and if i do ill post some pictures here to see if it fits A&A size lol

a bag of the game pieces…… :?

Who the hell gave me  -1 karma lol ??? what did i do …

I have the game.  I’ve played it several times and just the map was worth the cost.  the pieces are the same or close enough.  Adlertag is a smartass in case it isn’t clear…

I had a copy of this game as well.  Has since been sold - not what I wanted.

As has already been stated, all countries have teh same German pieces.

The ships certainly be used in Axis & Allies.  There was the Bismarck for a BB, Graf Zepplin for a CV, and the late late war type XXIII (is that the right designation?  Can’t remember).  I just prefer the waterline approach of Hasbro’s ships.

The planes are double the size at least.  The fighter was a Me262.

2 types of infantry:  regular and Waffen SS.  They are a bit taller than Hasbro’s.

The artillery is about the same size - it is the rocket artillery used later in the war.

2 tanks:  a regular tank that is a Tiger, and a heavy tank that is a Maus.

Their choice of pieces I really thought was odd to represent what they wanted, like teh fighter, sub, artillery and heavy tank.  Especially when it came to the Maus for a heavy tank.  The Germans only built 2 prototypes, and it was a complete failure.

The pieces are really nice, though.  I kept 2 Tigers to use as heavy tanks for myself.  I also kept 2 Russian Tigers and carved Josef Stalins out of them.  Turned out well.

Cheers

Let me point out that even though I didn’t care for the  game, customer service from Pegasus games was excellent.  I had a badly crinkled map, and though the store Ai bought it from would do nothing for me, Pegasus shipped me out a new map the same day I talked to them.

How is the game itself?
