Andrew, I’m interested, but may not be able to start for a few days as I have a couple games going. Shoot me a PM and we can discuss.

Game with Blooper fell through. Looking again for a game.

@andrewaagamer I am interested. Curious as to why OOB though? Most of the distasteful bits of BM can be turned off, such as the guerillas.

OOB is the official game. BM3 is a made up game. Much like PTV or World at War. BM3 is most like OOB but it is still a made up game. I prefer to play the official game.

Maybe in the future I will try BM3 since it is so close to the original.

Please send me a Bid via PM.

[simon33]

For the record, oob is also a made up game.

No, it is not. It was a game mass produced and sold through out the World. BM3/4 are House Rules attached to Global 1940. PTV is a made up game.

lol were you here to see the first one? Berlin had a minor, and there was no complex on Ukraine, I remember that.

Oh, and there was a ridiculous number of planes on the Pacific map and far fewer on the Europe. If I recall correctly, they had to add planes on Europe and take away several on Pacific.

I adapt, to call what you all call “out of the box” (2nd edition), but the way I see it "out of the box: is the first printed, published, produced P40 and G40. You know, that people took… out of the box. That one was the first distributed throughout the world (at least I would assume).

This is when it maybe actually made sense to build a major complex most games. In Romania. Oh, and USA could build a major on Norway.

[gamerman01]

But I know, I know. 2nd edition was put out the same official way by the same official people.

[gamerman01]

OK, sorry 4 posts in a row, but surely some will find this very interesting.
I opened my box, and ANZAC has a MAJOR on NSW.

Berlin has a minor, like I said. Let that sink in.

ANZAC has 4 fighters to start.
Germany has 4 fighters, 3 tactical, total 7. (None on Berlin by the way)

That’s what I still think of when the term “out of the box” is used. :neutral_face:

For me OOB stands for any game in the world which you play as found when unsealed, including the rules, no matter which version. No bidding, no house rules. That goes for any A&A version, Shogun, Amerika, etc.

A&A Classic even offers variants in the rule book which would not consider being OOB but a variant.

So I define OOB as original game rules of any version, not the initial version of a game.

Just to throw my opinion in:

Throughout my presence on this forum I have understood “playing OOB” to be a consensus of playing according to the latest version of the ‘official rules’ of an ‘officially issued’ game, including the latest ‘official “FAQ/Errata” sheets’.

For P40/G40 that would mean the current 2nd Edition rules as published by Renegade.
IMHO in case people don’t agree to that players might or must have different understandings of what “OOB” is, as written rules (sometimes) need interpretation and get clarified over time, maybe even change in nuances. How should anyone buying P/E40-games from Renegade today know what makes their specific (latest) OOB different from the specific OOB in 2012?

[simon33]

I would say that OOB = 2nd edition + FAQ&Errata.

And including any clarifications issued by Kreighund.
