Unstacking lowers losses

Comment by Chuck S. on April 10, 2013 at 8:33pm

Lw has some issues with the CRT can get very nasty if 6 is rolled, also fighters can not shoot back when attacked unlike bombers! One neat trick is to use the fighters to look like escorts but break off and attack stacks forming for attacks, also note that I stacking seems to bring more losses so breaking up the bomber stack can be useful at times.

Panzerbush never worked for me I think panzer 44 or October war is a better method of combat. I use a card driven system to bypass the simove system although ow alternates moves

Luftwaffe was the very first game I ever bought as far as board games go...  It's the one that started it all for me.  Got it brand new the year it came out.  Then a buddy of mine found the Granddaddy of all the tactical games, Panzerblitz, a few months later.  I never looked at Luftwaffe again.  Im fact, I just took it to Noble Knight game company with alot of other games and sold them...

I just bought a vintage copy of Luftwaffe and cannot wait to play it this weekend! Any thoughts on this classic? I used to drool over it as a teen but could never afford it!

Best,

Bill

As some may know, Tom Shaw has blessed our 50th anniversary PBEM Stalingrad tournament and it would be better if at least one more experienced player joined. The tournament will start after I make the random pairings December 15. Tom will be issuing a certificate to all who play in the tournament and special certificates to the top four. I appeal to all of you out there to join either by posting to http://talk.consimworld.com/WebX?7@782.sb4KcaQQZLk.62@.ee6c970/2943 or emailing me at angiolillo_joseph@hotmail.com Currently we have 7 experienced players and 6 novices. The tournament rules are simple using a four round Swiss system then semi-finals and finals. Here is the link to the tournament rules: http://talk.consimworld.com/WebX?14@782.sb4KcaQQZLk.86@.ee6c970/2968 This link is gives you the rules as an attachment to post #2815. According to Tom Shaw, Charles Roberts initially designed the game before he left the company and Lindsey Schutz and Tom Shaw developed the game. I will also be posting the actual designers and developers of the early games as the internet is only about 90% correct and I want to set the record straight. Not only did I interview Tom, who had actual documents: I taped the interview as well. In the Stalingrad PBEM tournament, I will personally donate the money for a first place plaque. Join in. We need more players. Joe Angiolillo (developer Axis & Allies and designer of many SPI, Gameshop, Nova, GTD, and Coleco games)

Going to start a VASSAL PBEM game with 3-players campaign and I am assigned to be the UK/US.....the engine is most suitable for some rigid system like this with I-go-U-go system.  This is a game I haven't touched for more than 20 years, I believe.  I need time to refresh the rules before I can deploy the Poles!

Hi All,
I have been looking through my old boxes since I came back into the hobby and found my original design of Axis and Allies 1939. I had left my compnay Nova after design assistance and development of the original Axis and Allies and printed up a set of die cut counters for France and China. I made up rules and playtested the game a number of times myself. Maybe I should contact the designers of World At War because I designed the 1939 version first - in 1984. I'll try to remember to bring the prototype (no one else has ever seen it) to Lancaster next year.

Hi guys, I've searched the site carefully and I cannot find any mention of it for some reason. It's got to be here somewhere but the guys at www.the2halfsquads.com have an awesome podcast/radio show. The most recent episode features an interview with John Hill. A must for all you Squad Leader fans!
