Its a different game. Revised is not competing with AA50 right?
This is replacing revised… so revised is going to be obsolete.
I just have a feeling it is going to feel like devolution. I mean each world view of AA has grown in scope and grandeur, while the game has gotten richer in gameplay. I may find it very difficult to take a step back.
It is kind of like those civilization PC games, everytime a new “main” one comes out I just can’t go back to previous versions as it is a series that has continually gotten more rich and complex in a good way, while still being easy to grasp. I’ll buy it, but I am kind of dreading it, espcially since it is being released so soon after AA50. I would be sad to see AA50 die or take a back seat.
I hope they do an updated AA Europe and throw Italy in along with some other revisions.

Well Devo was not that bad after all. :-D

Devo are my dudes, hey maybe this won’t be such a bad version after all since you put it that way
We are not men. We are Devo! …D-E-V-O

I understand what you’re getting at, but I don’t see this as a step back since AA42 is simply intended as an update to AAR. AA50 was a limited edition game targeted at a small audience (due to its price and longer playtime). AA50 is the bomb, but AA42 will still be fun for those nights when a shorter game is in order.
I hope they do an updated AA Europe and throw Italy in along with some other revisions.
Bah. AAP rocks, but I was so disappointed with AAE that after 8 or 10 games I gave it to a friend.

I guess you could say I just have a “Gut Feeling” about the game. OK I’m done with the DEVO references now, sorry to all the non Devo fans who had to deal with the god awful pun.

Don’t worry, I’ve got a “Ton of Love” for your Devo puns! :wink:

Haven’t we whipped this joke good yet?
c’mon guys, let’s move forward, straight ahead, it’s not too late… :-D
Well i guess this has been a “Time out for Fun” in our “Beautiful World” here at Axis and Allies.org.
But soon we will have a “Peek- A- Boo” of the new game, but until now " i cant get no satisfaction"
I guess we’re through being cool…
While I was in my pole barn this evening working on dice towers, I pulled out my Devo Freedom of Choice cassette (Yes, I said cassette!).
So in the spirit of being factual, I must correct my earlier post.
The name of the song I was going for was “Ton O’ Luv”.
I had to make sure to get the name right or you know that IL would have said, “It’s Not Right”. angry
He probably would have gone “Cold War” on me and put me behind the “Gates of Steel”. Just rolling a “Snowball” in the Gulag on “Planet Earth”. evil
That would be better than the story of IL leaving “Mr B’s Ballroom” to go home and “Whip It” because he didn’t get the “Girl U Want”. shocked
IL better not edit this post because “Don’t You Know”, it’s “Freedom of Choice”!!!
Craig: Stop Jerkin’ Back ‘N’ Forth on this. I told you i too have freedom of choice to edit posts, but i will say that i can Love Without Anger
Enough Said

Its not a Devo song.

lol what is the “Lighten up, Francis” from. i know ive heard it before
“Stripes”, starring Bill Murray and Harold Ramis.
i guess he is the answer guy
i found this picture of the game. I don’t know if its the final map but it looks close.

jesus, look how they drew Australia! what a bloody joke!
The name of the .jpg file suggests the picture is take in 2008, so the final version will probably have some changes.
