New player with a strange start up

[77stranger77]

Some of the stuff on the box is right. The Brits don’t have a Battleship in the Indian Ocean, The Germans don’t have a Battleship in the Baltic. There might be a web page that has the setup listed. Triple A and Game Table Online both have versions of the game that can be played online so you can copy their starting setups.

How long has that thing been sitting on the Shelf at the store?

My copy of revised, that I bought when it FIRST came out, had different prices for different countries,  but I never noticed any starting placement errors…

Perhaps you’re not reading the Sea-Zone’s right on the map?  Or they aren’t typed on correctly?

[Parpass]

I have correctly read the sea zone, several times actualy ^^

My game is a french version.

I’m just beginning to play online on GTO facebook application, so i’m writing down on a piece of paper the right start up ^^.

Yes, this is one of the versions that has errors.

You can also get the setup information here: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=6226.0

and (if you’ve got really good eyes) you may be able to make out the correct sea zone numbers on this map: http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/images/aabigmap.jpg

I’m glad to hear that is an “official mistake” ^^

Thaks for your help, all of you  :lol:

So I had another question.  Where are the White Surrender pieces for the French in this game?  Is my set incomplete?

France is not a playable nation on Revised and there are no White Surrender pieces.

BinNYC,

Are you talking about the Annivrsry Game as I think the French surrender in that version, not the revised 2nd.  You can post under that forum.  Although I do not know much about the foreign language editions, perhaps they have different rules and pieces?

Happy Gaming!

Thank you so much for the clarification.  Although this is quite disappointing as I really want to re-enact the French Surrender as many time as possible.  Maybe I will try the Anniversary Edition or the old Xeno board.

BinNYC,

I see your point, I too have wanted to re-enact the surrender as well.  I think it was an important part of the historical play.  There should be a point when what ever country frees the French from German Occupation, the white surrender pieces are replaced by whichever country saves them.  ( ei, green if its US, Tan if its UK, Red and White if its Switzerland, Orange if its just one guy named Ron, et… )

Let me know if you find an expanded edition with revised rules to allow.

I have a expansion set in my closet that I bought in probably '94-'96 that starts around '40 and has rules for how and when Russia and US enter the war.  When Germany takes France, you roll a die to determine whether French territories + troops are either Vichy or Free French, and whether the French Navy is Vichy, Free or scuttled.  ( I think the Free French are played by the UK).  Haven’t played it in years.  I think it was by Xeno Games and called “The World at War”.  Also had destroyers and some other cool changes.
