Ask anything related to the AAM Olympic Cup.
[If you need clarifications about aam rules then use the relevant subforum; not this thread.]

First time at this online. Assume we need to do our own maps? A quick tutorial on that would be helpful as well as rolling dice. 
Thanks,

For rolling dice:
type what you see in the box
The result is:
Rolls: (2d6)  
For the maps, you need any image editing software and an account in photobucket or imageshack. Just type the name of the unit inside each hex. See the WAS admirals matches to see how they did it.

I will try to sign up but just a quick thing.
1. Do we use units we actually have?
2. Any house rules?
3. I can only play in the afternoon, is that ok?

We play only official units. No house rules. You don't have to have the units. Use the online database to see their stats.
It's ok to play whenever you want. AFter all you still don't know what timezone your opponent will be.

Over in the other thread, you said:
Got any source for the text of the special abilities for cards we don't have? |

I believe they are listed on the database.

If they are, I can't seem to find them. They list which SAs each unit has, but they don't give the text. |

The excel sheet you refer to can be downloaded at the Boardgamegeek website for both AAM and WAS.

| Think you could put some number/letter coordinates on the map like you did for the naval minis? Seems like that would make things easier. |

For those that didn't notice, you deploy only on the far left or far right column of the map, not the typical 5-hexes distance from the side, but the actual side. That's because the map is too small.

| Be careful useing the "Official Database" there are still some misprints and just wrong information. Try clicking the Panzergrenadier to get the stat card for an example. |

Make sure that when you always indicate the facing of your vehicles. Either wth fancy graphics or with a simply arrow or even just text.
