I just go over the rules as we play. Before we start the game I tell them how IPCs work, how each turn goes, and how you win the game. I also go over how the battle system works by using the infantry’s attack and defense as an example. I talk about unit special abilities as their use arises such as the subs special abilities or bombing raids. Obviously they wont be experts on their first try but I have a group of gaming friends that only learned how to play like two or three months ago and we have had some pretty good games since their first try.

Thanks. I have been wanting to get another copy of A&AP so i can get more pieces but my local game store recently raised their prices.

What will be wrong with A&AE: 1940? It is pretty obvious that the United States will start the game being at war with France and France will receive 20 Mech Inf while Germany receives 3 Mech Inf. The Soviets will have 15 of each naval ship and only 5 Infantry. Also the map will actually be Europe’s political borders during WWI.

Dude your tanks looks badass. The detail is amazing. Keep it up!

Thats pretty cheap. Can you post a link?
