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.
Have you heard of the FMG A&A pieces?

Guys,
I don’t know how many folks here scan all the boards, but there is a fellow that formed a company called Field Marshall Games, FMG for short. He is making accessories for A&A and is about to release new pieces for the A&A games. The first release will be a complete set of Italian pieces. The other nations will follow and I think this is going to be a great thing. If you have time, check out this thread.

It is already over 35 pages, so it will take a long time to read. But the essence is he is about to take the next step and take pre-orders for the Italian pieces. I bought a set of special dice from FMG and I am happy with them. He is also selling a dice tower. He plans to add other stuff. I hope he gets plenty of support so he can fund the development of all his projects. Take a look.

I would highly recommend the FMG dice tower. It is a high quality tower that features solid wood construction and felt overlays to protect your dice. An excellent value for the money. This is probably the single best gaming item I have ever purchased!

Let’s help keep this guy in business.
For the record, I am not affiliated with Field Marshal Games in any way. I am just a satisfied customer.
