I was at the pre gathering Friday night. I was surprised by the new point system. It led to many different angles of attack, and forced players to play aggressively. So, I thought it was great. I'm not a tournament style player and not hard core like many, but it was IMHO a improvement. The battlesh...

Keep it simple part 2 or the marriage of different concepts
Oddman's post about keeping it simple, with other thoughts and reactions from Krieghund and IL, got me thinking about all these different ideas. I think we all agree that we want AAR with a deeper strategy, we just disagree on what that means and how to achieve it. Some want more unit, and while I t...

Differentiating by country seems needlessly complex to me. The German tanks were better, granted, but the Allies simply had more. It's just a question of resource allocation. On a strategic scale, the commitment is about equal. Same with German vs Russian infantry: sure, the germans were better tra...

The tech tree is the weakest aspect of A&AR. It results seem extreme. While I like NA to a point, I would prefer a marriage of both systems into one. Why can't National advantage be part of the tech tree itself? Example tech advances for armor may be a +1 defence. The german army could start the gam...

To IL: No amount of words or agruements, can cover up bad manners. Since you clearly do not understand how rude you are, I will not address your comments, which are in many cases when ON TOPIC are quite good. As my father told me "never agrue with a crazy man". I believe many here want to turn what ...

I have to respectfully disagree. New playing pieces, do not advance the game. It adds really nothing to the game except more of the same. I prefer instead to hone in on the things that can make the player think in a more strategic manner. Maybe I'm just not smart enough, but I do not see how more pl...
