The Return of Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition
-
And here’s a picture I managed to grab of the Italian tank. For ease of comparison, I’ve reversed it so that it’s oriented like the silhouettes in my identification charts. It seems to be neither the M14/41 model from the original Anniversary nor the M15/42 model from Europe 1940/2nd ed., though it’s closer in shape to the M15/42.
[Edit] Actually, I think that may be the Russian T-34, photographed in lighting that makes it look brown rather than maroon.
-
That is a cheaply made T34. We have been robbed!
-
I managed to grab a shot of the Italian tank. It’s the same model as in the original Anniversary edition. (See the atached picture below.)
-
That is differnt from the other Tank pic. you posted . Amd it is Italian . Yea!
-
Nice work grabbing those still pictures CWO Marc; I was trying to stop the video on the Italian pieces but it was moving too quickly :).
I think you are correct with your first explanation though “that the people who made the video mixed the first and second editions together”, unfortunately :(.
-
So we are no clearer? Poo!
-
I’ve put together four rough collages of the pics I was able to grab. I’ll post them in two message due to the attachment limit. Below is the first set: Infantry and Tanks.
-
Here’s the second pair: Ships, plus Planes and Guns combined.

thanks to everyone who replied and dug into this…this is the only edition i dont have and have been looking foward to getting this one. so is the question of what germanys color is answered from these pics? are they the black? it looks close just curious. been stockin up from HBG some extra germany u.k. and italy pieces that i like for subbing into this edition.
-
Germany is black. The colour is pretty close to the original A&A Anniversary for all nations. Not exact, but very close.

@Baron:

I will do an un-boxing this weekend and post a vid on YouTube! I will provide a link and post some pics as well!

I just got back into A&A after last playing about 20 years ago when I was a kid. I was excited to see the Anniversary Edition was taking pre-orders, and I should get mine by the 24th!! :-D
I’ve been catching up with the classic edition online (WWII on gamesbyemail) but it seems like I’m going to have to study strategies for some newer versions considering the addition of Italy, cruisers, and artillery. Where do I start??

This is the anniversary thread. Pick whichever game you want to brush up on. -
Here are the sculpts from the Anniversary Edition reprint, fresh out of the box I picked up from a local gaming shop. As far as I can tell, the sculpts are mostly the same as what was in the original version of Anniversary, with the remainder being sculpts that we’ve seen in either the 1942 or 1940 games. If so, then the references which have been made to new sculpts mean “new to Anniversary” rather than “new to the A&A franchise.”
I’ll post the pictures in pairs, due to the posting limit on attachments. Click the pictures to enlarge them. First: US and UK.

Next: USSR and Germany.

Next: Japan and Italy.
