@axis_roll I have not watched the History Channel in years. It became to heavily involved in reality TV.

We cut the cord.

I was hoping you’d post these!

I posted this in another forum, perhaps this might be a better place to generate some interest.

I believe it would be much more efficient to have sub forums here by A&A version.

It can be hard to wade thru all the house rules in this forum when I might be looking for something specific to A&A pacific or AA50….

Too bad.
1914 players deserve a place of their own to read all related threads more easily.

I’m pretty sure some players would find many interesting ideas and an easier access than to read them than scrolling through this mess or using Google search which 50% of time bring up pages which have a different interface than regular blue colored forum pages.

I’m usually scrolling until I found  a link starting with www.org…., but sometimes it doesn’t work.
So, I have to check the date of the last quote and make a guess about which pages of this forum it is until I find it. Takes sometimes 10 to 15 minutes, other time I abandoned and try different keywords expecting that a www.org… will appear.

yes, they all look correct (e.g. different pages) in IE and Firefox when I click on the URLs.

When I ping calc.axisandallies.org I get a reply from 162.243.65.212  (Banter.co)

This is the link I use for AA Calc, now it redirects to a Beer Blog.  Anyone?

I’m in complete agreement with my fellow U-boat commander. Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the reply.  We have always been playing this way, so it was nice to confirm that it was the right way to handle withdrawals.

This is really nice. It’s good to see someone put so much effort into the game, no matter what the version.

It also makes me want a three season room.

sorry, content was deleted

All things considered, weighing the options, if I have ANY chance of holding the Island for at least one round OR diverting enemy forces from another objective to take the island back, I’ll take the island.  Especially if it’s an NO and hurts the enemy that much further.

Otherwise, I’ll aid my allies instead, as risking X value in units for less than X in one round of income is not worth it.

Here’s our game that is still underway in the later 15th round (not the 14th round as I previously posted)

P@nther, thanks for the quick reply….we are playing 1940 Global, so the long range aircraft only applies to initial movement.  The defending Aircraft from a sunk or damage aircraft carrier has a max of one movement regardless of long range tech.

Also…
All units are expendable, if the expenditure accomplishes something. Most units will be expended, but the challenge is to have them go in a way that they gave their money’s worth. Another important aspect of the game, which should be apparrent to a veteran player, or one with intelligence, is shielding of units. Some units (the more expensive ones) need to be protected by the less expensive ones. Infantry need to take hits for tanks, Destroyers and Cruisers should take hits for carriers… etc. Being able to scrape your expensive and better units out of a fight is essential for continuing operations and saving money. Make your enemy bleed more than you do.

@ABWorsham:

I realize that some people can not have civil discussions on certain topics. Should the members get removed instead of the blacklisting of certain items? There should be greater freedom, our participation on this Forum funds the site.

Yes. Power to the people!

ttt, discussion about tech over at AAMC.

I have never bought Russian naval units in any game, and I can’t recall that I have ever seen it either. Imo, it’s difficult enough to win games against decent players w/o deliberately trying to lose. Better to resign then… :-)
