@surfer thanks for that clarification
Just Keep Churning Em Out, WoTC, Hasbro
-
LOL. ANOTHER A+A variant(s)! In under 6 months from the last one!!! WHEEE!!! SHELL OUT EVEN MORE $$$CASH$$$ FOR ANOTHER BOARD GAME(S)!!! (HEY KIDS!!! You’ve got nothing better to do! C’mon, buy nineteen copies! We’re even making a new Pacific game which is essentially the old AA Pacific map with its old Revised ruleset now replaced with the new AA50 ruleset! BUY IT NOW!!!)
While if one tries to independently make a computerized form where you EMULATE all the different board games, IT’S THE END OF TEH WORLD!!! CEASE AND DESIST ORDERS EVERYWHERE!!! Even if 50 people in the entire world use it at any given time, from all over the world, and it’s the only way they can play it with real lives and busy schedules! Wait, I’m not talking about PBF games on the Axisandallies.org website, I’m talking about the freeware TripleA…
Actually, the fact the Hasbro DID sell out ALL its AA50 copies makes me wonder why they NEEDED to go after TripleA. It’s not like they were losing any business since ALL the copies printed sold out. Sounds like inefficient business practices to me. Yet somehow they are shutting down ANY form of electronic competition while churning out MORE and MORE schlock box editions with slightly tweaked AA50 rulesets. You’d think making/sponsoring an electronic form of A&A with its greater ease and flexibility would be in their best interests, but no… Boxed sets it is! Who cares if it’s 2009? And the fan bois out there will eat this up, you know they will. WHY NOT JUST RUN A REPRINT OF THE ENTIRE REVISED SERIES OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS FOR $40 A POP??? NEW AA50 MANUALS $10 EXTRA. EACH.
Great way to run a business. RUNNING IT INTO THE GROUND. See ya for Axis and Allies: October 1935 - The Second Italo-Abyssinian War! I won’t be there.
This isn’t a CCG where you need to have the latest cards to play. You can still enjoy the old editions without any interference from the new. If you don’t like them, don’t buy them. Its pretty simple. Of course WOTC is going to make new editions – people will buy them. WOTC wants money that people are willing to pay. Nobody is forcing you to pay.
I liked the reply “you don’t have to buy it in the first place right?”. Sounds to me like people need to get girl friends or something else to occupy the time. It sounds like no real game could ever satisfy what they want or are unknowingly looking for in life. Get out and enjoy the world!
Actually my GF loves to play A&A with me. We are both looking forward to Pacific.

My sentiments exactly.

OH NOES!
Brain Damaged has almost as much - karma as he does +
Operation “Brighten BD’s day” has begun!
+1 karma (and more to follow :-) )
-
Please no more freaking KARMA THIS OR THAT POSTS. Keep that stuff in the Karma thread and just PM the guy. WE cannot have all the threads messed up with “hey +1 karma…and that is my post…that’s it”.
Karma should be removed from this site entirely because it is become a replacement for substantive posts.
-
Agreed +1 to you sir. :-D
Ok ok, I’ll post something……I personally don’t mind if there is a new A&A game every year. I have not gotten one since the AAP and AAE games (that I liked). In all just buy the ones that interest you, if you really have to collect them I wouldn’t buy more than a copy of each, if you aren’t going to play then why pay for more?

On the subject. I beleive the more games they make, the more choices I have, and the more choices the better.
You do not have to buy them all. -
Yes but the later versions keep getting better and better!
-
I hope that WOC does keep churnin’ them out.

I grew up playing Risk, and began AA about five years ago. I have four boards, but play Europe/Pacific 1940 almost exclusively. So far I have shelled out a couple hundred dollars on boards, and spent hundreds of hours at the table.
Imagine if Larry, Hasbro, or whoever released an electronic copy we could play online.
I would pay good money to play a clean and legitimate game of Axis and Allies online.
