Well I added Italy to my set so am using the Anniversary Edition '42 setup in which Japan goes first - but the Anniversary Edition setup still has the British units there by India. Guess I’ll just leave it alone.
If you already have AA50 and Revised, what's the point of buying AA1942?

@Imperious:
I buy two copies of AA42. Use the pieces for AA50 (replace all except the Italians and the nifty Hellcat fighters for USA)
These pieces are nice.
I have some tricks to offer you people, but you will have to PM me to get the answers.
Anyway the AA42 pieces to me are nicer and worth going to target. Buy at least one of these games to support the cause.
god its only $29.99 at target right now. you could have it in an hour, but look on line first to check inventory of store near you.
But if you wait and get the new Europe and Pacific then you’ll have these pieces to replace the ones on AA50. Specially the Italian navy ones, which are the worst on my AA50 edition and AA42 doesn’t have Italy.
$29.99 is cheap for a game if you live in the US, it will be more expensive for people who live elsewhere. As a comparison…AA50 cost about $75 when it was released, cost me about €100 or more than 120 bucks where I live, but it was well worth it.
Right now I simply don’t feel that paying the equivalent to $50 (based on the previous pricing) for the units. The 1942 map doesn’t appeal to me and, other than the combat strips (which look interesting - I liked the sytem used on Bulge) there doesnt seem to have anything else (no money, no charts) -
This is just coming from someone who has just recently started playing, take it for what it is worth, but I just wanted to say I’m glad I picked up ANY version of this game and thanks again to IL for opening my eyes towards Target, I drove 30 miles to pick up my copy of AA42 because of him.
WOW. Thanks alot! :-D
The price is fair and you get it right away and no shipping.
Sounds like a win win.
Now you can print out my mega map for AA42 and not have any problems with the small OOB map.

True but would it be possible to make the borders in Europe more defined, at my age, my eyes aren’t that good! Just a thought IL! Still awaiting my tips! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

+1 karma to theloof for driving 30 miles to pick up AA42.
-
I took a look at your map IL, its very nice, the only question I have is….how do I print it out to use it in a game?
-
set printer to tile it. for some printers its called poster print.
other than that you print each sheet on 8.5x11 pages on decal paper (about .40 cents each) and lay them on a thin wooden board. its not hard. This technique will involve some cutting

Hmmm, Staples sells something called “sticker paper”, wonder if thats somewhat the same, I’ll have to do some homework on that, and then after I figure that out it’s a trip to home depot…thanks a bunch IL, I foresee my games getting much more fun with a larger map.
-
Anyone wanna send me their useless Units? I’m paying for them lol :D
-
any decal thats 8.5x11 will work. Look online and buy them cheaper. the map is like 72x36 so figure how many you need…probably 40?

It is not worth getting without Italy. Italy has set the standard now. Its not a real A&A game without it.

exactly.
