So what exactly do we have to do to get these 6 tactical bombers? Call their customer service? Or just straight out mail them the incorrect battle board with a note? I just found out about this, and am eagerly waiting this remedy to the game. It kind of reminds me of Axis and Allies Europe when there weren’t enough infantry for the setup, except then i could just borrow from revised (which i can’t exactly do now).
I got mine yesterday and was estatic.
I emailed them at wizardscusthelp@wizards.com and told them i wanted the pieces they asked me for my name and address and mailed them to me.
I kinda want to get more tactical bombers and a more accurate battlestrip but if its mailed in an envelope and probably will get damaged then I wont bother. I have 4 Axis and Allies games worth of units, IPC notes, score boards, battlestrips, etc. I would be perfectly fine just supplementing this game and the AAE40 board when it comes out and just shift pieces from board to board. Sucks when they screw up shipping things out but I just hope the Europe board doesn’t have messed up seazones and correct deployments for all factions, that matters more to me than more units.

This is the precise reason that I am looking to sell my AAP40 and not buy AAE40 when it comes out. AAP40 has left a bad taste in my mouth for anything else from WotC. I already sold the 2nd edition, AA50, Guadalcanal and D-Day games. Looking to sell the old Europe and Pacific games along with Revised and AAP40. Message me if anyone is interested in cheap AA games.
I can’t believe you sold the anniversary edition, that version is like a solid gold bar and until this combiner game comes out, probably the best AA game out to date. But I understand your point of view, I am also upset with the errors and breakdown in communication on whoevers part it is to allow such grievous mistakes to make it through to the final product. Just astounds me that they let it happen. You should take pride in your work and constantly improve your company in all aspects each and everyday.

i agree. I have been playing games like Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear and another game called Valor and Victory. They are hex and counter games and in my opinion a lot more fun than Axis and Allies. Tactical war games appeal to me more and I only wish I would have discovered them before I bought all of the Axis and Allies games. The AA games are just too long and drawn out and I only get to play on Saturday nights for 3-4 hours. It can take a month or more to play one game of AA and in that same amount of time I can get at least 4+ games in of CoH or V&V. I am not missing the AA games that I sold. I will probably never buy another game from WotC.
How much did you sell anniversary for?
I’m happy for all you guys who got the extra pieces and corrected battle strip. It’s encouraging to see WOTC do this so soon. However, I will still reserve my purchase of AAP40 until a corrected reprint is released, if this ever comes to pass.
Well I received my battle strip and six Jap bombers……good thing they had already sent me six before. It was sent in an envelope and half the tac bombers are twisted and mangled.
Go figure. I hope everyone else who receives the extras gets them in better shape. Although I am just going to give the second set of six to a buddy.
My battle strip came in looking pretty mangled. But my 6 Tac bombers came in perfect. I guess I should just be happy about that since everyone seems to have gotten at least 1 broken bomber.
Sorry to hear about that, guys.
None of my bombers were broken just little white spots where they look like they wanted to bend. My battlestrip had some dents from wings but nothing too serious.
The white spots are where the bottom of the plane dug into the battlestrip and nearly broke off where the landing gear is. That seems to be why my battlestrip has all sorts of little holes in it from the pressure of the plane ( and something really heavy on top before shipping) causing damage to the bend up strips.
I received my “envelope” today with a pitted and mangled looking battle strip and Japanese tactical bombers that have white stress marks all over them. Pathetic. Would it really have cost that much more to ship in a padded envelope? This is ridiculous. Anyone want to buy a 1 time used AAP40? Will sell cheap.
Must be Cal Moore’s brother doing this.
If this is the kind of “service” that we are going to get from WotC then I am not going to be buying any more AA games. In fact, the whole situation with this game has contributed to me selling my AA games. I had all of them and have sold 2nd edition, D-Day, Guadalcanal, and AA50. Still have Pacific, Europe, Battle of the Bulge, Revised and AAP40 for sale. I am done with WotC. Will take any reasonable offer for the listed AA games.

Yea think you said that.
I got mine today and am just glad I got the extra six for my game. As to shipping them I looked at the price and it was $1.50 to ship my pieces and battle strip. A padded envelope might of cost an $0.10 to $0.50. While yes they did make a mistake but it wouldn’t do for us for them to have Axis and Allies a losing project for positive income. While you skinny1 might be leaving them I still want great games to come out. I love Axis and Allies Pacific 1940 and am really looking forward to the Europe version.
No a huge fan of the individual battle games they made but have a feeling this combined global game will be great.
We are lucky they did anything for us really.
I’ll buy your Pacific for $20.00 skinny1.

I understand what you are saying. There are other reasons that I am selling my AA games but this just pushed me into the final decision. I have also been playing more tactical games like Conflict of Heroes, Valor and Victory and I just ordered ASLSK1. I don’t really have the time for the long games of AA and starting this weekend I won’t have the room. I still have AA42 and plan on keeping that and playing it occasionally.
Skinny thought it was the 1940 version. So sorry.
I also have been playing WW2: Struggle for Europe and Asia which I like but that one takes all day. Although we did finish one in 6 hours once.
Of course Germany didn’t take France until 41’ in that game and it was over rather quickly even though we kept playing.
