Original A&A board map unit placement…

AA is only available in Triple A online and the board game. Anything else is some silly fabrication with Axis and Allies slapped on the side.

Axis and Allies Butter
Axis and Allies salt shaker
Axis and Allies hubcaps

etc…

it all depends on the country in question. no one unit is best for all of them. but here’s my picks :) :

Russia: INF, sheer numbers can overwhelm the german war machine on a relentles march to berlin

Germany: Tanks/Armor, blitzkrieg, thats all there is to it

UK: trannies, i know it sounds stupid, but without them the UK can’t do much of anything

Japan: anything, japan needs all the help she can get on the mainland, it doesnt really matter what it is, just get units there quick

USA: Carrier w/ 2 Fighters, can we say smackdown?? they can obliterate japan’s navy while also serving to protect units in an amphib assault

now these are just my picks, they might not work for all your strats, so feel free to tweak them to work for you.

Xi, more like 45-50 miles. I’m in Cincinnati every weekend. I’ll be at Taste of Cincinnati on Memorial Day. Maybe we could get together for a beer downtown or in the Northgate area if that is more convenient.

I can’t remember how many times I had to erase a question I was asking and answered myself… :-)

Our local group hasn’t played AA much in the last few years. Allies always win even with RR, germans with jet power and Japs with super subs.

The idea of bidding is re-kindling interest I must say.

Guest: Your friend could probably be refering to some of the expantion packs. I have tried two different packs. Both with new kinds of boats. Half-battleships, escorts, and destroyers. Could be more, i dont remember.

I think www.AAMC.net has them

In A&A you get hte original gaming experience and you get to take over the whole world.

@fixitman:

triumph, i am interested in the Dogs of War game you mentioned, anyway i can get ahold of it?
i used to have the computer version of a+a, but i lost it in a move somewhere, and have very little $$ for buying a new copy :(

I sent you a private message regarding it. I didn’t know if the email address you typed really is “earthling.net” or if you meant “earthlink.net”. :) hehe Enjoy.
