I just found out that AA 1942 can be preordered at amazon.de now.

Price at the moment is 39,99 EUR (equals about 56 US$).

Because ot the lowest-price-guarantee the final price will possibly be lower (as it happened to be with AA50).
Don't always trust TripleA when it comes to rules questions. Know the rules before you start … and better check what TripleA has done.

I always make sure the USA buys a certain amount of IPC’s against Japan. And those purchases can only be used against Japan. It gives a more authentic feel to the game. And it makes yhe Allies fo something else than Europe 1st every move.

@JEB:

Yes, it seems that attacking and taking egypt on the first round would solve the problem. I’m kinda new to the game, and the reason I haven’t attacked egypt on round 1 was that I read the “Don’s axis and allies essays” and he promptly advocated NOT to attack egypt on the first round but wait until the 2nd instead. He seemed like a knowledgeable guy, so I wonder how he would have dealt with this. Because he didn’t advocate buying a carrier either, but just one transport and rest inf.

I also have read Don’s Axis and Allies essays more 10 years ago, and they are great for Classic, but you’re playing Spring 1942 and a lot has changed between both games :)

Germany losing the Med fleet on UK1 isn’t critical:
The 2 units that would go to Africa can instead be sent to Russia Sending more than 4 German units to Africa than the starting ones is usually a waste of resources. Those 4 units cost 12-16 IPC and Germany will only get 4-5 IPCs per turn from Africa in return. Japan can also threaten Africa more effectively if it sends transports to French Indochina. Overall the important objective is to increase the total Axis IPC income to 84+. And most of the richer territories are on Europe/Asia.

They are the medium sized ones from Litko. The small ones are too small.

I really enjoy AA42. It really is worth the money. Sure, the spaces on the board are too small, but there are downloads to take care of that. Play it a few times and you’ll be as hooked as I am.

@Zhukov44:

Anybody have solid numbers on SZ2 strike odds? Roughly calculated I’m guessing it’s 25% that the German fighter lives. I think, in general, this is an excellent attack for Germany if the fighter survives. But if the fighter dies, it may be debatable whether it was worth it, given that those 2 planes could have been used elsewhere and the Kraut sub could have gone for the defenseless transport. The 25-30% chance that Germany gets the BB without losing any planes makes this eminently tempting.

Anybody aware of a web-based calc for the new rule-set?

The only problem with that is the US destroyer and a plane and bomber can take out the sub. It would be a sittin duck. If I wasn’t going after the battleship, that sub could go for the cruiser by Gibralter, that way you don’t risk losing a plane. Or I wonder if it would be wise to try a conservative approach and keep the subs together for a round two attack. You could get three subs and a whole lot of planes for a round two attack in the Atlantic.

One thing about translating NA’s from AA50 would be Italy. Without Italy, the NA’s would be in favor of Allies.

If you want to play AA50, use the AA 1942 pieces and IL’s big AA 50 map and download the rules from WotC/AH website.

Not sure about the techs. Paratrooper would wreck havoc as the board is smaller than AA50 and LRA and paratrooper would allow you to reach almost any territory possible.

As for being bland, I would have to disagree, AA 1942 (AAR with AA50 rules) allows for different strategies, (not sure about a bid as it’s still new and people haven’t had enough time to play with it.

Play with it first before modifying.

Good gaming.
