I have thrown together a quick website to host my ideas for AA/FoF. Eventually it will have scenarios, campaigns, vehicle cards and other information that my gaming group and I come up with and would like to share with the community. Using the Motorpool II I have completed the aircraft vehicle cards for the United States. There are a few other vehicle cards done as well. Next I will be starting on the U.S. armored vehicles.
Since I got layed off I seem to have some time on my hands. While waiting for VA to approve me for the vocational rehabilitation program for disabled vets so I can hopefully start school in January, I am hoping to work my way through the Motorpool II before then if I can.
Anyway, here is a link to the page:
http://teamblackjack.com/wargaming/objective-alpha/
Please let me know what you think, suggestions, constructive criticism etc etc.

Thank you for these - the only problem is that the "Class" for Ambush Alley, which my club is currently playing, is one class less for each category compared to the Force on Force rules.
By the way - the links on the scenario and campaign pages didn't seem to work.

Yes, those are not yet completed. Iput the titles in there more as a place keeper for myself at the moment while I was building the page. I will put an under construction page or something similar in place to avoid any confusion.

I used photoshop to make the technical one 3 1/2" by 2 1/2" to rubber cement to the back of a normal playing card for use in this Wednesday's game after I changed the class to "0". I then put an Ambush Alley Asset Card print on the front side.

I made them as 3 x 5 cards so I could just store them in any 3 x 5 index card case easily. I have been printing them out on standard card stock that I picked up at Walmart, printing three of them to a page by just cutting and pasting them into a graphic file. I didn't create a AA or FoF back graphic simply because I did not want to step on any toes in that aspect.

I had asked to make sure my doing these would not be a problem and was assured it would be ok. Quote: don't wish to sound like a smartarse but be careful with copyrighted images .. especially the box art ... I will probably go back and take any box art pics out in favor of actual photos. I don't really think it would really be that big of a deal in this instace since I am ot "selling" them but for cautions sake and for consistancy this is what I will probably do. Quote: maybe some aag players can send u jpegs of painted afv's
I would be fine with that as well. The only problem with it would be consistancy and availability.

EH,
Great job; I love 'em!
Did you do the vehicle stats yourself or are you using the ones I did for the AA Motor Pool 2 project, or a mix?
Question: why does the M551 Sheridan's coax only get 2d fire power when all the others get 3d? I know that the Viet Nam era, M79 (?) MG was a POS and was eventually replaced with the M240; a vast improvement.
Keep up the great work. If you need some scenarios, just ask; I suppose that I'm play testing at least one per week, just not all fancy formatted, etc...
If you ARE using the MP2 stats I've been doing for AA, what vehicles/countries would you like to see next? So far I have US, UK, FR, GER, RUS, PRC and Israel 1990-2010 completed and Syria almost done.

For vehicles that aren't I did my own. I also created some "varients" of some vehicles as well so far.

I have replaced it with the one it should have been. Quote: Keep up the great work.

If you have some scenarios you would like to have posted on the website I will be more than happy to put them up for you. Just send them to me.

You keep stating them and I will keep carding them if you like.  I have added the DPV andthe SOC-R to the site today. Quote: Chris Maes

Not sure on the Cents stats... Way better survivability than a T-55... Especially according to Israeli tank crews!

What would your suggestion be then? I respect the opinion of those who have been playing this game longer than myself and will gladly take suggestions on the stats.

I'm with Piers. In AV, I've got it stat'ed at 4d10 frontal defense. Standard-sized, good MBT (for it's day), just the die level adjustment for "obsolete" armor.
