@thethedew I don’t own the game, but I think the main point of it is that it is not WW2 based. This way the game has appeal to people who aren’t that interested in WW2.
Let us know what you think after you’ve played a couple of games.
The "balanced mod " is pretty popular. You might want to try that. I think it’s under playboardgames
I feel that it’s highly unlikely that Larry will ever make another WW2 game using the Axis & Allies game mechanics.
I feel that YG is correct.
There also wont be another war that is as amenable to being a board game as World War 2, so we can also dismiss the possibility of a future LH World War 3 game with cool armies and bases, probably just mushroom clouds and smoking ruins, if we are lucky.
Axis and Allies is pretty much put on a shelf for the foreseeable future. Thats why WOTC put out all those games in one year ( 1941, 1942.2, 1940 2nd), to complete contractual obligations with Larry.
Pretty sure in 10 years they will make some nostalgia version of AA, but forget 3rd edition this and that.
D-Day was really not a new edition ( well just rehash out a few more copies since they nearly sold out… type of thing). Perhaps 1940 may be released in a new print edition, but don’t expect new ideas,rules,etc

Hey, I even provided the link, what more do you want?
He’s working on it right after he finishes “Hoaxes and Hooey”.

Wait, was there a DDay reprint?

It’s been reprinted on and off over the years. It occasionally pops up at one of my local hobby shops.
