Are you an A&AM addict?

[Colonel_Panic]

One or more of these statements familiar?

- You shout "Defensive fire" everytime someone drives by your house.
- You park your car with the front arc facing the most dangerous area.
- You shout "Tally Ho!" when you want your family to move a little fast so you don't miss the beginning of the movie.
- You threatens to kill you workmate to get the others to work better.
- You drive your car through woods, as long as the die roll was 4+.
- You shout overstacking when 8 or more people is in your local bar at the same time.

-and you try to fit your horse in the landrover.

[Bobsalt]

-You don't understand why you can't chase down aircraft on your Harley.

[DocD]

You don't allow your son to point his BB gun at flying planes for fear he may shoot one down.

[Stojakovic]

I could add to this but I would get kicked out ;)

[Hiro]

Try to convince your CO that even though you are just one soldier, you represent several people.

Your car explodes in a ball of flames after any accident.

You attempt a Sherman swarm with your friends to destroy a beer truck.

You carry man hole cover sized tokens with phrases like damaged, dirsupted or destroyed and place them face up on the floor during arguments with you wife.

You play A&A by yourself.

You have a Tshirt with "A&A- it's what's for gaming."

Your vehicle has a bumper sticker with "My other ride has a 75mm cannon with 100 mm of frontal armor plating. How about yours?"

[Stojakovic]

Your watching Saving private Ryan and when the scene with the 20mm comes in you say it has double shot. best one I can come up with without being 18 :rolleyes:

[Mr_G]

-You see paratroopers teleport beside you

-snipers can hit tank drivers' heads... from behind

-british vehicles are always 400 meters ahead of averyone

-jeeps always have a mounted broken (unusable) machine gun

-commanders ride alone on halftracks (maybe they're too 'BIG' for everyone else...)

The 3rd and 6th one I qualify for does that make me a bad person?

[EricM 2404]

no not really

[Belisarius]

You hand a co-worker a stack of paperwork at 4:59 p.m. and shout "Strike and Fade!" as you run out the door.

hahahaha this is a good one!

[Fluffy]

You know how manydices does a jagdpanzer throw at medium range, even when you haven't ever had any of them. (nor seen a real one for that matter)

[Stojakovic]

When you pray for a cover roll when the teacher sees you passing a note in class :o

[Blighty]

When you drive down the road in a zigzag fashion using imaginary hexes and drive over other cars in traffic jams when you are ignoring stacking limits while moving.

[Lotus]

You look at your jeep wrangler and think, "I can mount a machinegun on that if I take the top down."

You follow up with, "I'll find a way to convince my wife."

[Blighty]

When out on country walks you have a fear of wide open spaces, hug the trees, hills and marsh and think you see a machine gun team or sniper in every nook and cranny.

[Blighty]

After a road rage incident you're straight out of your car to close assault the opposing vehicle.

[Blighty]

You weld extra side armour to your family saloon a la Panzer IV Ausf.G

Ok I should have stopped after the first post, I realise that NOW! :o :o :o

[Photoner Hawkwind]

The 3rd and 6th one I qualify for does that make me a bad person?

Nah, just an addict.

[Zhukov]

I Got some stupid ones.

If you throw a wad of paper at someones pack you yell Rear Armour!

Instead of calling people fat as an insult you say "You must have supiror armor 3."

Hmmm, all think of more and better ones.

[A&Aaddict]

MY NICKNAME SAYS ALL :D
A&A addict

[EasycompanyCaptainMartin]

If you have 20 dollars, your gas tank is on E and you buy a booster for 15 and put 5 in for gas

If you line up your army and look at it before you go to sleep

If your have a stat card fro your car that goes


Geo- prism 1200
attacks 0-1 2-4 5-8
Speed 1 soldiers 3 0 0
defense 1/1 tanks 2 0 0

Brotha thats assault - If goes full speed into Pedestrain does 6 but your chared with assault

[scorpnoire]

...if you are hiking in the wilderness and throw a die each time you want to cross a creek.
...if you are just running headlong into a river although unable to swim, cause you rolled a 6.

[Colonel_Panic]

Instead of calling people fat as an insult you say "You must have supiror armor 3."
I would call that "Hulking Mass"

[scorpnoire]

And if those start to banzai-charge you, you show a sudden lack of determination? :)

[Richter von Manthofen]

625 units worth 6029 points. And a Set III case alredy ordered. DOes this answer your question.

[Wolfpack]

-When you tell your wife for the third time that this was definetely the last package of miniatures you bought on ebay (and were checking the auctions you bid on five minutes earlier)

-when you go to sleep in the hope that the boosters you have ordered will arrive tomorrow

-when you dream about opening the package

-when you stand in a gamestore and talk to yourself "No, I will not buy another booster!" and leave the shop with two.

[Knighthart]

Everything you do is in a matter of 3 phases.

Your monthly food budget is set at $3 and your gaming budget is $300.
(the $3 going to ramen noodles--10 for a buck!!)

You have landscaped your yard into a number of random hexagons.

The moment you break down and start painting a Tiger in a better camo scheme.

[Photoner Hawkwind]

When you start hearing the booster packs calling your name. :eek:

[Dr_Strangelove]

Addiction is selling some of your AAM on ebay and then taking the money you make just to buy some more. Then you sell some of them on ebay take the money you make and buy some more. Then you sell some of them on ebay and take the money you make to buy some more....

It just never ends. Yes, I am an addict.

[Colonel_Panic]

I guess addiction is sitting on this forum finding out ways to describe "other peoples addiction"...and yes, I started the thread, so, make your own opinion;-)

[Galastro]

- your tablecloth is green and hex-pattern

- you call your wife Comrade Commissar

- you talk to your friends in Turn and Phases

- you try if Hulking Mass really works in rush hour

- High Speed 2 really works on the highway

You don't value everything with BigMac anymore, now it's BoosterPacks

Maybe we should start A&AMA = Axis & Allies Miniatures Anonymous??

[CommanderPrompt]

You're definitely addicted when you read through this thread in less than 5 minutes just to figure out wether you really are addicted to A&AM, or if there is a splinter of a chance of still being a normal person.

Oh, and I suppose the answer to Galastro's proposal is:

Hi! My name is Commander Prompt and I'm an A&AM-a-holic.

[Patton4014]

When you start calling your friends by the handles that they use on this board.

-When after the first two weeks you say that 100 pts in not enough for a good scenario and you only own 101.

-When you try and get the owner of your local game store to trade you 1 sherman for a booster box.

-When your ebay search box has more than 50 different AAM search strings

When you sit up at nights creating scenarios just so you can field your 2000+ pt german army against a 2000 pt russian army.

[Dr_Strangelove]

It seems odd to me that as much as some people moan about the rules in this game it still has so many hopeless addicts. My FLGS ordered 12 cases of Set III and according to him they have all been sold already!

[4242david4242]

... you don't have to use a scale to tell which sealed booster pack has a Tiger in it.

... you start painting units you know you will never even use (e.g. halftracks in desert camo).

... the ONLY name you know for the guy you play AAM with is his handle.

... you check these message boards daily.

... you try so desperately to get your wife/girl friend to play AAM that you agree to do extra house work.

[Zhukov]

When your able to play a 300 pt Chinese vs 300 pts Italian.

You dream about AAM.

[Zhukov]

Yes thats the best one! lol!

I got another.

When the forum gives you messages like "A user can only post one message per 30 seconds" lol.

I hate that darn 30 second wait!

[Zhukov]

When you start hearing the booster packs calling your name. :eek:
Do your read ArmChair General Magazine? Guess who won best Allied General if you remember. ZHUKOV! I need to get it into my sig if you dont mind!

[Dr_Strangelove]

I don't know where this falls in this thing. I stopped at a game shop a couple days ago and there were these two guys, probably about high school age, doing this little chant as they carefully weighed boosters in their hands. They said it was the 'AAM Mojo Voodoo Chant'. The amazing thing was they then opened bought and opened three boosters and one had a King Tiger and the other a T-34/85!

Maybe I'll need to learn to chant...

I just rub the boosters on my cats belly

[Photoner Hawkwind]

Here's another:

If you have over 2700 posts on these boards. :eek:

Just Kidding. :D

probably fits if you have over 27 posts on this board. :cool:

Nope, not really.
My lil' sister used to say that "you are what you drink", and she never would go out with a guy drinking Johnny Walker. But one day she told me that LongJohn should probably be labled Micropolis instead.

So, the name does not always say it all ;-)
