Some suggestions

Some suggestions that I would like to see in later expansions.

1. I like the idea for an expert rules book.
2. The scale and stacking seems a little broken. You can fit a lot more than 2 units in an area that large. How many people do those soldier units represent anyway? It is probably too late now but, perhaps in a second edition larger maps of a smaller scale and increase the movement and ranges by 2-4 times.
3. One of the things that I like about D&D minis is…the personality of the minis. The historical notes are nice, but I don’t get the same… feeling from these minis. Sorry, not sure how to explain it better than that.
4. TO&Es for WWII armies with conversion for A&A minis.
5. More historical mods like that one on the website that can be printed out.
6. Ability to fire indirectly.

Cheers,
Stacey

The problem I see with that is that most of the AAM models aren't individuals/characters. They're representative of that class of vehicle or that type of squad. So there isn't much room for personality with, say, the Sherman tank or the Garand squad; they are one of thousands.

True. Include that the soldier peices seem to be more than the single soldier represented by the mini and that on the artillery units they do not even show the soldiers perhaps it is not feasable, but would be nice. Perhaps in later releases there could be a few minis which represent an individual MoH or iron cross recipient...?

well perhaps a scenario will come out where the soldiers that originally represented squads could actually represent individual soldiers so you have like 10 infantry and maybe 1 vehicle in say, a St. Mére Eglisé, Caén, or even just Carentan scenarios.

I know my post is kinda going o.t. like my other posts (sorry, I don't mean to), but does anyone have an actual map of operation battleaxe? I'm kind of curious if BF1942's version of the bunkers and field is in any way correct (I am assuming it is about 97% wrong, where the 3% make up the fact that it's a desert map and that tanks were used :P), but I'm still curious. :D

Well...we do kinda have a dire fiendish Panther, and a fire breathing crocodile.
