What will you give me?


I'm giving you a confirmed reprint of AA50 which will sell out again. I did this using the AA50 reprint petition. Would you like to see the thread. That should be payment enough you think???

:wink:

You were pretty right about Pacific/Europe ... Actually they are: Axis & Allies Pacific 1940 and Axis & Allies Europe 1940. I think you called them Revised Pacific and Europe. They are so NOT revised. These are self standing enlarged games each dealing with either the war in Europe/Africa or the war in Asia/Pacific. I think you'll like them. Did I say "Think"?
Actually I'm trying to find out where you're getting your information from. I'll have to have him shot of course. I'm sure you understand.

yea i bought 6 of them and i will take another six.

except when you use the word 'Refresh' id like that to mean the detail is different, but its not from the pictures...they are exactly the same or at the very least you need a micron microscope to determine these claims.

I swear to god and all thats is holy on this earth, that if the new version had replaced all the marginal sculpts and made some new ones the thing would be huge.

Now this new map is too small and all the good things that are in the new version
( map design dumps the black oceans in favor of a much more aesthetic map)...the rest of the issues make this into a Mcdonalds treatment of AA.

Note that the artillery for 3 players is still the same and the German artillery if it had a shield would look alot better but its really skinny.

To me this is not evolution. It should have included rules from AA50 as optional rules and not about "hey feel free to make up your own rules" That will always happen no matter what, but to offer some of your interpretations is what people DO pay for in these games. They pay for YOUR insight on what you think can work.

The other thing is if you don't have play money, then at the very least have the WOTC people design an official scoreline to record the income. This can be downloaded with official errata. Some people who don't have skills at making such a thing and want a professional touch should get this from official sources.

This fast food version of AA could work for new people, but if your going with this approach i feel the game is too long in its current state for these kinds of players. A family wants to have something under 2 hours at most and VC seems like it can last a long time, so perhaps some rules for a time limit game can be generated, or just go back with capitals or IPC total for victory. You can even have a turn chart of which the game ends on turn X and install the all axis all allies move sequence and cut down 35% of playing time and remove the downtime for players.

Again this has to be from official sources as people will never adapt a new set of rules that lack official support from you.

You ask that like there's something he and by extension we DON'T want to know.

Quit teasing and spill the beans.
