Sssshhhh…… don’t tell the company types, but I always felt like taking the final playtest map that I have in digital form and printing up copies to make AA50 bootlegs.

Unfortunately, they would quickly track me down and sue my pants off.  :roll:

A reprint would be so easy.  And they could package it a bit differently so that the box isn’t as ungainly (from a shipping point of view).  Just stack half of the trays on top of the other half and fold the map panels in half.  Do the measuring yourself- it works.

You’re right- this should be the base game.  They have been scrambling ever since this came out to get an entry level version that has the rules introduced in this game.  Unfortunately, they never quite work since the spacing on AA50 is tailored to those rules.  The smaller games can’t handle the newer rules and 42.2 is a lame attempt to come close to AA50.

See the other DC thread.

The WBC A&A (Revised) tourney is coming soon:

It is on the weekend before the rest of the convention.  Even if you are not exactly into the playing of Revised anymore, you can still connect with multiple A&A players from the region that may want to play other versions.

@djensen:

Enough. Don’t make me lock the thread.

Just go back and clean out the crap, starting with his unnecessary pot shot referencing things that have nothing to do with this fine event.

@IL:

Consider who made the first comment.

You did. :roll:

@FieldMarshalGames:

Hey guys….  remember the totally AWESOME, Military themed war gaming convention that this thread is about?

:-D

That’s exactly what I was doing.  To the point of trying to help a fellow gamer get to the event.

Then a random post about nothing whatsoever to do with the con was put forth.

Blame the “debbie downer” for ruining the vibe in here.  The usual SOP.

Everything was fine and on topic until IL opened his pie hole.  :roll:

That’s why we can’t have anything nice. :? :cry: :-P

Early October would be a good spacing from the summer events.  Or mid May.

Remember that the US summer A&A group does Origins (mid June) and Gen Con Indy (mid August) with a smaller part of that hitting Smorey’s Spring Gathering (mid to late April).

I wouldn’t expect you to go with a mid-July time frame but that might be nice.  I still like the October slot the best since it balances out the schedule as it stands with the Spring Gathering, Origins, and then GCI.
