Very cool.  Just wish the battle board lettering was white.  Black lettering on a dark gray background is almost unreadable.

Will there be anything different in the re-release?

zip lock bags……;)

At a local Goodwill store I scored a practically brand new copy of AA42 for 3 bucks.  Most of the AA guns and factories were still on trees.  90% of the roundels haven’t even been punched out yet.

Or Dale Earnhardt Inc.

Those aren’t the one’s I’m looking for.  Someone had a post to a Hasbro link and an order form for a different style I.C.

Where’s the link that had the info on ordering the industrial complexes from the game Fortress America?  The search engine here sucks to say the least.  Thanks.

Since there are British units in France, Dunkirk hasn’t happened yet.  I assume the Brit units represent the BEF.  So call it Spring of '40.

Umm, you do realize that the Dunkirk evacuation didn’t remove all British forces in France, right?

Yes I know the rest of them surrendered, but if the Germans haven’t invaded France yet then Dunkirk hasn’t happened yet……right?

Very cool.  Nice job.  I used to build a lot of 1/72 scale armor and had fun with the various paint schemes.  I just don’t have time anymore.

Ships have historically been TWO letter abbreviations, not three.

If one were skillful with an xacto knife they could carve up the nose of the Italian bomber to make it look like a tri-motor.

So is this thing done yet?  Any final pictures?

I hope you all realize that the “BT” thing was merely a joke response to not being able to fly over a desert.  I never meant it as a “home rule” or a change to the real rules.

OK so which sea zone is the Bermuda Triangle in?  I think all ships and planes that pass through it must roll a die.  Roll a one and it must stop its movement because it’s disoriented.  On the next turn if it rolls another one then it’s removed from play, lost forever……
OOOoooOOooOOOooooo…spooky…;)

@Gargantua:

The planes were subject to sand damage, and massive overheating.

Don’t know if you know or not, but there are not alot of clouds in the desert, and if you didn’t fly upside down, you’d probably cook to death through the glass in your cockpit anyways.

Worse, at the time, there weren’t many places to land the aircraft south of that either.

The planes were VERY susceptable to weather effects. Sandstorms/high winds.  Items that are REPLETE in endless deserts.

I flew in Beechcraft King Airs in SWA for a year.  It’s not that big of an issue.  I was more nervous flying over the North Atlantic than over a desert.

It’s a blast.  Go on Ebay and get both sets, then read all the info in this forum.  Good stuff in here.

My house rule says yes.  If you can fly over the Pacific and Atlantic, then why not the Sahara.

Try Ebay.  There are a couple of people selling just selling off A&A playing pieces.

I assumed there was just an earlier link to the topic that covers this.
