I've had a couple of free minutes to add a bit to the FAQ, and, I guess the recent spate of new questions warranted it.
have fun!
Don't forget both GZG and Brigade Games subtract VAT...
Both excellent merchants with excellent custmer service.
And that's what it's all about, no?
If you're considering Ground Zero Games, they've already packed your order and are waiting to ship.
Or, at least it seems that way because it seems that there's some sort of wormhole between GZG and the US.

on p 33 of the Brigade book it says
"If a player chooses to lose troops as a result of a special equipment hit"

Then I apologize for opening up an old wound.
I must now subject myself to self-flagellation (not flatulation) in penance for my crimes.
why are you Wes, the humbled? :?
Jim, the most current files are on page 8 and 9 of this thread. Thanks for the sticky! *mmmm...peanut butter*
did I miss something? I got them from 8 and 9 
Goin on 24hours now.
Hope I'm sane to play Volley Ball at the church tomorrow.
(I don't even usually GO to church and now I'm playing Volley Ball there?)
For absolutely no reason, I woke up a 1am.
I am, apparently, unable to sleep.
Hebatude is the word of the day for Jan 24, 2004.
Yikes! that was some big map, here's the zip file

Should I mention how many of MJ12's games were playtested to any significant degree by anyone outside the designer and his immediate circle?
No, Dan, you can't
And, JP, welcome to "Club-I-can't-get-anyone-to-playtest-my-damn-game-no-matter-what-I-offer-them"
Take it to conventions and grab anyone who'll play. That's one way to do it. that adds a year to the development cycle, but you get a better game out of it.
Seriously, I have interest in AC, it's just a time factor. I'd love to put in my opinions, but I can't, given that I've only read the rules and I don't have the required minis. I will fix that though, now that I can stop thinking about World War One :wink:

Actually, I Dl'd the latest (2.0 Version) and it seems to work pretty well, excpet the box font on the ship page is just wierd looking boxes

As promised, sorry it took so long.
Yay Rockford!
I really liked the venue, including the occassional rambunctious young soccer player hurtling themselves through the con.
The con staff were all friendly and cool and promoted fairness and civility throughout the convention. Well done rockford!
I was slightly anxious when I opened up the maps and laid out the planes for the first game on friday night. My goal was to get the opinion of a couple of historical gamers and slowly break into the genre.
What a reception! I must have had 20 guys all ask me about the game and look at the planes and maps and all. I was completely overwhelmed by the reception. I haven't had a con like this in years. Wonderful!
I got to meet Karl from the last square and found some really cool seige engines to use with For the Masses.
And, finally, I'd just like to thank the fine people at the convention center for the two-dollar Guiness pints! I'd also like to thank whoever orders the kegs because they ran out of the two-dollar Guiness. 
I have pictures from a couple of the games and as soon as I can get them wrung out of the camera, I'll get them posted for all to see.
I will do that. Do you know where I can get more academy models?
The academy models fit my bill perfectly, they are cheap, easy to assemble and quick to paint. Do you know where I can get some different ones?
One Bad thing though, the decals on the Sopwith Camels got messed up by the spray sealent I used. The DVII and DRI are fine, just the camels. and pretty much just the Blue on the decals.
arg.
I may have to re=paint them or maybe I'll just leave it, I dunno.
There are actually a surprising number of kits in "1/72" with just a few inconvenient holes (particlarly the Fe2)...
If you are still looking for 1/72 kits let me know and I can point you to some of the manufacturers...
Also Rosemont Hobby (can be found on the web by searching) is knowledgable and involved in 1/72 scale WWI aircraft kits and conversions.
I went out to the rosemont hobby site http://www.swiftsite.com/rosemonthobby/ and there's a bunch of stuff there. Additionally, The Academy models are a great bang for your buck, the sopwith camel and Fokker DVII were both around $3.00 and the DR.I was olny 5-ish from hobbylinc.com
they don't have any other kits, but I liked the camel cause it was easy to put together.

So go look and see how neat the planes look all dolled up in red and green
I've not ordered the bio aliens from Andred (who is a member here, I think)
But the BSG ships I bought were nicer then the pictures let on. Very crisply cast and good lines. I got them for Noel so i can't say much more than that.
The whitestars I bought had some very minor casting issues, but overall are a 6/10.

Dunno why there's no "The Miniatures Page" announcement, but the cold navy store is open again!

Looks like I better buy me some mauridians before the general public gets to them and breaks open all the packs
jim
what pond, lake michigan?
tee hee
Go 2006 cubbies!
I have not tried with more than a half-dozen planes.
Let me know how it works for you
No, they don't need to be as they are never shuffled
They look great too!
Yup, Dan just playtested with me, and helped immensely with the rules, but I'll happily take all the credit
well, funny you should say that as the Aces rules started as the fighter combat system for IS in my mind, Dan had a completely different idea, which is cool
Anyway, if you have house rules to glue it all together, I'd love to see them.
AND, you can play Aces with just the demo rules, of course, it's a Majestic Twelve Game after all
