Hey Guys,

(Oh yeah, I already know that in FoF there are two regular forces fighting... Wink

)

AA is a force of regulars against a force of irregulars.

FoF is a force of regulars vs. Regulars, Regulars vs. Mixed Force; (Regulars and irregulars), or Mixed Force Vs. Mixed Force. It also has some rules that let you add a bit to your AA games.

If I was only going to get to buy one. FoF

With that said I would hate to not have the scenarios in AA.

In my opinion:
FOF tweaks AA so that it isn't geared to one side acting and the other reacting . In AA that is the way it works ... in FOF it would not work for reg v. reg. In FoF initiative is tested for at start of go.

Vehicles are more detailed and tweaked in FoF and are more fragile in theory.

Both sides can trigger FOW cards.

Units have new characteristics - confidence and equipment supply/quality

Hope that helps.

There are rules for air support, large caliber artillery, helos, anti tank guns and field guns. Also some rules have two versions. Basicly a WW2 version and the modern version. Things like medics, gunnery, and airpower have evolved and by basicly changing one or two rules they make both eras work.

Combat is resolved a bit differently than in AA. Large mobs are no longer quite so bullet proof. Small teams are no longer quite so easy to wipe out in one shot. Both sides are rolling the same number of attacking dice before adjusting for the various modifiers.

The vehicles are redone and play much smoother, to me, than they do in AA.
Vehicles are still not something you want to stand toe to toe with if you are infantry but they are not quite the unstoppable force they are in AA.

I hope this more along the lines of what you want.

@cerberus:

yep, that´s what I hoped to get Wink

Thank you. I´d really appreciate some kind of rule introduction as we have for AA in form of "Contracting Trouble!" for free download.
