So, we stick to the original ones that everybody is familiar with: http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/aam_rulebook.pdf Use the AAM units database http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/aam_db.asp for units for which you don't have the cards. Alternatively you can use: http://www.hordelings.com/frontend/games/aam/items.php or http://www.boardgamegeek.com/file...oad/23758/A&A_Minis_stats.xls The Map for the first round (you deploy in the far left and far right hex columns): 
Use the embedded dice-roller for the dice and make your own images with gimp, paintbrush or any other image editing software. You simply write down the name of the unit on its hex and then post the image on a photobucket account. If you need any help all moderators can help you and most users of this forum.

Good Luck My Friend
I brought some Dice to Use. * Throws a Handful of die down on Table Rolls: (21d6)     
|
||
| NeuralDream |
Your opponent has already sent me his army  .
|
||
| The Mighty A |
Great! I brought some dice, too.
Rolls: (24d6) 
My army has been sent in. Roll for setup: Rolls: (2d6)
|
||
| NeuralDream |
You're good to go. Have fun gentlemen .
|
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
I was hoping you wouldn't bring a plane. Oh Well
Initiative Rolls: (2d6)
To pick sides if needed Rolls: (1d6)
|
||
| The Mighty A |
How do you want to do this? I had rolled two dice as my setup roll, but I can declare that my initiative roll and roll a single die for setup. I would say the high roller either sets up second or picks a side and sets up first. | ||
| The Mighty A |
There is a lot to be said for controlling the skies. I have some experience in what happens without air support .
|
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
Hers A 1 die roll. You decide
Rolls: (1d6)
|
||
| The Mighty A |
I will change my two dice setup roll to my turn one initiative roll.
Roll for setup: Rolls: (1d6)
Re-roll if necessary: Rolls: (1d6)
|
||
| The Mighty A |
You will need to re-roll for your setup die due to the tie. | ||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
Rolls: (1d6)
|
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
You set Up First, We Both Roll For Initiative
Rolls: (2d6)
|
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
I am Confused. Sorry | ||
| The Mighty A |
No problem. You win the initiative roll for the first round. Who goes first?
I will take the left side of the map. My setup: Bren1 and Det1 in B1 Bren2 and Det2 in C1 Det3 and Renault in D1 Det4 in E1 |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
Fanatics e-1
Bunker e7 wire1 c4 wire2 d5 |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
you go first, | ||
| The Mighty A |
How exactly does barbed wire work? Is an entire hex considered to be surrounded with barbed wire or does it only block a single side (which is what it sounds like)? If so, which hex sides are you blocking?
Map after setup (minus barbed wire): 
My move: Bren1 and Det 1 to B2 Bren2 and Det2 to C2 Det3 and Det4 to D2 Renault to D4 (facing bottom right) |
||
| The Mighty A |
That bright green did not turn out well. I will change the color after the movement phase. Also, I will add the barbed wire then. | ||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
1st wire Space C4 borders C+D 3
2nd wire Space D4 Borders C+D 4 Does that make sense To you? |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
My Move
Fanatics D10 |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
When Do Para troops Come in Again? | ||
| The Mighty A |
Your paratroopers are deployed at the end of any of your movement phases. They can not be deployed adjacent to any of my units. Also, they can not move that phase.
I will wait on my air deployment phase to see if you want to deploy your paratroopers this turn. |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
Can I drop them On the Objective? Sorry It has been A long While Since I have played AAM, Also is Capturing an Objective the Same As WaS Obj...? | ||
| NeuralDream |
yes you can drop anywhere not adjacent to an enemy unit.
You win this game by owning the objective by the end of turn 7 regardless of who has it before. To own an objective you need to have a unit adjacent or on it, and no enemy unit should be adjacent or on it. |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
OK Thanks Neural, I would Have Totally dropped right now thinking that they were the same as WaS. Thank you for helping me not make a Game ending Mistake Right now. | ||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
How does Defensive Fire work again and does every unit unless stated otherwise always get to Make Def. Fire?
Sorry for all the Q?'s. Raeder Thanks for the info again on Paras! 
NO my paras will not deploy I guess |
||
| The Mighty A |
My spitfire goes in F10.
A unit can make defensive fire if an enemy unit moves from a space adjacent to the unit to another space adjacent to the unit. Vehicles can not make defensive fire attacks against soldiers. A unit can only make one defensive fire attack per phase. Defensive fire is limited only to disruption. If the unit that is being fired at succeeds at a cover roll (if there is cover), then it ignores the defensive fire. Also, whoever is firing gets to decide in which hex the unit receives the defensive fire. The official rulebook can be downloaded at this site http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=ah/downloads. It should cover anything I said that didn't make sense or was left out. I will update the map after your air deployment. Don't forget, there is no rearming for planes. |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
ok my me 110 will go to c4 and face the back of you renault | ||
| The Mighty A |
Here is the map. I put the barbed wire in as red lines. If they should be somewhere else, let me know. Fortunately, it does not matter yet.
|
||
| The Mighty A |
My air attack phase:
Spitfire at Fanatic1 Rolls: (6d6)
|
||
| The Mighty A |
Miss. I am going to go ahead and do my assault phase since all my units will be shooting. All are shooting with a -1 penalty.
Bren1 at Me110 Rolls: (7d6)
Bren2 at Me110 Rolls: (7d6)

| The Mighty A |
Bummer. Your air attack and assault phase.
Initiative turn 2 Rolls: (2d6)
In case of a tie Rolls: (2d6)
|
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
Yes The wire Covers @ sides of a Hex,
The line in D5 should extend along the Border of D4 also The wire closest to your troops should extend along the B3 Border also My Fantics will assault down left on the road. No Bonus for the road right? My Plane will shoot at the rear armour of your Vehicle Rolls: (5d6)
|
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
Damn, thats not what I thought it's rear was, Oh well, Thats a Nifty little tank there for 1939.
Any Way My initiative Rolls: (2d6)
Reroll Rolls: (2d6)
|
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
You can Go first | ||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
Since your Guys shot< they didn't move in the Assault Phase correct?
If I am, You go first, If I am Not, Can I see a map Update before I choose who goes first. Thanks Raeder |
||
| The Mighty A |
Right, since my men shot, they did not move.
The Renault has pretty decent armor for 1939. I figured I could sacrifice on the guns to get something that might actually live for more than one turn. I think that you meant that the wire closest to me should be on the C3 border since C4 does not border B3. My move: Bren1 and Det1 to C3 Bren2 and Det2 to D3 Det3 and Det4 to E3 Renault to F6 (facing NE). |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
ok My Fanatics will move dwn left int0 that intersection
I will Deploy My Paras Now D5 My plane will wait till you have moved yours |
||
| The Mighty A |
My spitfire will go into F6 with the Renault.
Your air deployment. I will update the map after you place your plane. |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
My plane will go to E-3 and Face the 2 D. Inf. | ||
| The Mighty A |
Here is the map. I think that I have the barbed wire right this time . If not, let me know.

| Gross Admiral Raeder |
At least it killed something I guess.
Looks like you may return the Favor 
|
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
The wire is Perfect thx. | ||
| The Mighty A |
That should be Det3 and Det4 in E3 (not Det1 and Det2).
All right, Det4 and Me110 both received destroyed markers. Bren1 and Det1 move to B4 Bren2 and Det2 stay put Det3 stays put, as well Renault fires at Fanatic1 Rolls: (6d6)
|
||
| The Mighty A |
I'm beginning to think that the Renault was a waste of points.
Your assault phase. |

| The Mighty A |
Bren1 and Det1 to C5
Bren2 and Det2 to D4 Det3 to E4 Renault to F5 Which fanatic is in the pillbox? |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
All they eat is rice, They both go in lol,
#1 is Fine |
||
| The Mighty A |
I'll update the map after your movement and my air deployment. | ||
| The Mighty A |
Oh yeah, for cover rolls, do you want to have the person firing make the cover roll for the enemy unit or have the person who owns the unit make the cover roll?
I think having the person who is attacking make it will make the game go faster. |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
Can I do my own Covers plz, That way I can only be Mad at Myself lol | ||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
No one is Moving and do I get Defensive Fire Against you? | ||
| The Mighty A |
That works for me . 
|
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
My def. Fire against Bren #1
Rolls: (9d6)
My Def. fire Against Bren #2 Rolls: (9d6)
|
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
your cover I believe?
If Failed 1 Bren Dead I believe |
||
| The Mighty A |
What is the defensive fire for? Defensive fire is only provoked when a unit moves from one adjacent space to another adjacent space.
None of my units started adjacent to your paratroopers. |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
really Damnit, I thought if a unit moved in Next to you you get D fire. O well, thats why I did not attack your Plane, Not that it matters now | ||
| The Mighty A |
Sorry about any confusion. What would you have attacked my plane with? Also, defensive fire is limited only to disruption.
Your movement. |
||
| Cpt. John Miller |
Hey guys, Planes don't have facing in the basic rules. You can save yourself some photoshop time on that. | ||
| The Mighty A |
Thanks. I do the map in ms paint so it doesn't take too much time. Congratulations on your win; you will get to play the winner of this match. | ||
| Cpt. John Miller |
I know, That's why I'm paying such close attention.... 
|
||
| The Mighty A |
Yep. I have read parts of your game with afilter  .
|
||
| Cpt. John Miller |
It was fun, my first online game, dice roller makes it so easy. |
||
| The Mighty A |
This is my second online game. The first was a WaS which I lost to Raeder. | ||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
My plane and try to take each other out. But i thought you would have gotten a Def. Fire on Me so that is why I didn't. 9 die gives me a pretty good Chance even with a -1 |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
I am Afraid He will return the Favor on me this time. Honestly I haven't played AAM in a few years. I signed up just for the fun of it. | ||
| Cpt. John Miller |
Yeah, I actually played a WaS game too and got spanked by EvilKobra. This was my first land game. Sorry I'll get out of your way now. Please continue. 
|
||
| The Mighty A |
Aircraft defensive fire is provoked if a aircraft is placed next to a unit with anti-air SA. So, if you had placed your plane next to mine, I would have gotten to make a def. fire against it.
The rules can get complicated... |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
OK any way, whats going on then? | ||
| The Mighty A |
I moved my units as follows:
Bren1 and Det1 to C5 Bren2 and Det2 to D4 Det3 to E4 Renault to F5 It is now your movement phase. |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
I will Stay Put.
Can I get a Map Update after Our Moves Plz? Thx, Sorry for being Away for so long, |
||
| The Mighty A |
No problem. My spitfire goes in C4.
Here is the map: 
|
||
| The Mighty A |
Air attack
Spitfire at Fallschirm1 Rolls: (8d6)
|
||
| The Mighty A |
My assault phase
Bren1 at Fallschirm1 Rolls: (8d6)
Bren2 at Fallschirm2 Rolls: (8d6)
|
||
| The Mighty A |
Fallschirm1 receives a face down disrupted (you don't have to roll for cover since I didn't roll higher than its defense.
Also, Fallschirm1 and Fallschirm2 can not fire due this turn due to the covering fire SA from the Brens. Det1 at Fallschirm1 Rolls: (9d6)
Det2 at Fallschirm2 Rolls: (9d6)
|
||
| The Mighty A |
All right, Fallschirm2 receives a face down disrupted.
Det3 at Fallschirm1 Rolls: (6d6)
Renault at Fallschirm2 Rolls: (6d6)
|
||
| The Mighty A |
Recap from my assault phase:
Fallschirm1 has received a face down disrupted counter and can not fire Fallschirm2 has received a face down disrupted counter and can not fire Your assault phase. |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
So if my Fallschirms move Directly Up, Will they Suffer Def.fire from Spitfire?
My Fanatics Will shoot at LONE dET iNF IN THE OPEN fANATIC#1 Rolls: (6D6) 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 fANATIC #2 Rolls: (6d6)
|
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
Fanatic #1 again
Rolls: (6d6)
|
||
| The Mighty A |
If your fallschirmjagers move directly up, they will not provoke def. fire from the spitfire (soldiers and vehicles do not provoke def. fire from aircraft), but they will provoke def. fire from the Bren and the Det. Inf. in the hex directly above them.
The hex a unit is in is considered adjacent, so moving into a unit's hex will provoke def. fire. Do you wish to move your fallschirmjagers up? You will get to make a cover roll. If a unit succeeds at a cover roll from defensive fire, the def. fire has no effect. |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
My Fallschirms will Assault 1 Space Directly Up.
Before that happens, Can your Bren Keep me from H2H?(Besides killing me.) If No Refer to first line. Fallschirmjager #1 Cover Rolls: (1d6)
Fallschirmjager #2 Cover Rolls: (1d6)
|
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
Let me Know If I need to roll More.
They both are successful Covers |
||
| The Mighty A |
Yes. Since H2H is an attack, if the Bren fires first or uses def. fire, the unit can not do H2H. However, Fallschirms do not have H2H (fanatics do).
Note, the Bren does not actually have to hit a soldier to prevent it from firing. Both of your Fallschirms can not fire this turn. Do your Fallschirms move or stay? Initiative for turn 4 (or whatever is next): Rolls: (2d6)
re-roll if necessary: Rolls: (2d6)
|
||
| The Mighty A |
Also, a unit that is disrupted can not make defensive fire attacks, so your fallschirms will not be able to do def. fire next turn when the disruption takes place. | ||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
What?
I can't Assult You? |
||
| The Mighty A |
Not this turn. If they move that can't attack and the Brens have covering fire.
Covering fire applies to both def. fire and regular assault. |
||
| Gross Admiral Raeder |
O well, This Game was over the Second You took a Plane.
Alright I will Keep My Paras where they are. Init. Rolls: (2d6)
