I thought for Spring42’ 2nd edition, the bid goes to the allies? I’m confused here.
Attention All Axis and Allies Fans!

I can differentiate between chimps and a decent game. AA is a wonderful game, but yes a few chimps spoil things with their incompetence. I am quite sure that you don’t like WOTC either , but buy these games because they are great? Thats why you should voice your review to impact the games sales.
However, i view the situation as WOTC putting all the second stringers on the AA projects and saving the good humans ( aka ‘the starters’) to work on the fantasy games.
In this manner they keep all their people employed including the ones that got their jobs because they ‘knew somebody’ but had no counting or typing skills nor had any inclination to understand how a spell check works. However, if the situation became that AA was making more money, then WOTC would have to listen to these sales figures and allocate a better group of humans to work on future games. AS it is now it is pretty obvious that the various quality issues are because WOTC have allocated the bottm dregs to work on it
If you make a good review, Chimps would be replaced because WOTC follows the money. And we all know that right?
If you ever downloaded a map or any file from me, please consider my request as your repayment for using whatever you got out of that. Consider it a personal favor
OK?

done

Thanks. Please all of you do this. I never ask for anything here but this is my first time in 5 years. Lets try this thing just this one time and see if it can make a difference. The new game is coming out and we want to make sure the viability of these products is warranted. With any luck the next game will put enough resources to make sure it does not contain another gaff.
Please do it for the love of the game.

Posted a review! GO A&A!

I just wrote my review Now there are 3 reviews

I take that back , someone one was posting at the same time i did now there are 4 reviews

Thanks! I really think this is a good idea. At least it is a positive thing we can do for our game, by giving a huge body of potential wall mart customers a buying decision they can be happy about. And that can translate in future contracts for AA games at large scale stores, which really effects the number of units getting sold.
This will translate in greater success for the product, and in turn WOTC will finally have to put some people of quality on making these games. WOTC does not have it’s ‘fantasy junk’ line of games in Wallmart. This is because nobody plays that rubbish and it does not appeal to most people. AA42 is the flagship game for AA. It was made in huge quantities and it needs to do well.
I have a gift for all of you when i get the 500 reviews. I have a supreme map file for AA42 that will knock your socks off. But i will not release it till these reviews are in.

OK good to hear that. Thanks for the review.

Just one note: did you forget applying the contry mark on Italy? -
I went and did a Review, one of the first ones too.
IL, I know you make great maps and all… but could I please beg you to scan your 1942 rulebook into pdf and post it in the forum or email it to me? I know you know how to make pdfs…
thank you in advance

I will get this done, but by other means. Get me a few days.
Also, note we got enough for Wallmart
Now we turn to Amazon and Barns and Noble.
This is our mission. To use guerrilla warfare tactics to get the AA42 game basking in warm reviews, to let the little people buy it up. This will secure a brighter future for AA franchise. Instead of bitching about chimps ( which WOTC is nothing less) we must defend our game. Right now the flagship version of this game is AA42 and we have to get behind it even though for us this is the poor mans version of AA. To the AA franchise it represents the major investment because they made alot of these. If we can get the entry level peeps to get into the AA experience, we will generate an entirely new cadre of fans to play with in the future. As you may notice alot of new faces on this site. This is no fluke, but planned result in the release of so many games for AA. To keep the games going we need these good reviews.
Please do this.

Hi IL. For what it’s worth, I already put my review for this new AA42 game on the British equivalent website, Amazon.co.uk, back in November.
