Thanks to BOOMERBILL, whom I assume is a high ranking member of the AXIS and ALLIES drug cartel, I now have another addiction. I took advantage of his "Get a buddy addicted... I mean started" package he was offering. He generously sent me a small starter set of various units (in small ziploc bags, hmmmm?) with some maps and markers for me to check out to see if I liked the ground side of the game. After convincing my better half to give it a go, we finally got a game going. She enjoys playing W@S from time to time when we have a few hours to get a game in, so I was hoping she would get into this. we got a chance to set up a small skirmish yesterday. It turned out to be a easy game to get into. The game mechanics being slightly different form W@S, were easy to follow and keep track of. The action was quick and brutal. Just the ticket we were looking for. Since our W@S games take up a couple hours at the minimum, we were looking for something for a quick bloodbath at a moments notice. So needless to say I will be searching far and wide for additional pieces of plasticrack. Mission accomplished Bill, we are hooked.
She brought 2 M4 SHERMANS, BAZOOKA, M1 GARAND, BREN MG, VICKERS MG and ENTRENCHED ANTI TANK. I had the PANZER IV A.G., CARRO ARMATO M11/39, BLACKSHIRTS, WEHR. VET. INFAN, MAUSER KAR and PAK 38. It was a well balanced game. My PANZER should have taken out the SHERMANS easily, except she kept making concealment rolls. She has crazy dice rolling skills.
Ok guys, my better half has taken to the land side of the game with great enthusiasm. So I am in search of information on available maps. I have already found the link for the Able 1 through How 6 maps and have downloaded and printed out some of them. What other maps are out there? I had the maps I downloaded enlarged to make a 3" hex, are there other maps with 3" hexes?
I noticed my new north Africa mappack doesn't have the section with the road. How many map pieces is it supposed to come with it seems like I have 2 double sided sections
