I looked through the game. While your situation was certainly ideal for attacking the strict neutrals, I think you probably would’ve won without it (I’m not saying you implied that, I’m just adding on).

Hoffman,

French have uber-cool new Inf pieces.
AWW NOOO! I was keeping my hopes up for more dedicated stuff… so much for that.
What the hell! :x
The Italians have Panthers? It looks like all their units are now German except for the infantry.
The Franch infantry do look pretty sweet… but I don’t like that they have T-34s. It looks like all their planes are Russian too. The half-track is nice, but the rest is kind of disappointing.

Well, on the plus side - Italian Cruisers are now of the AA42 variety (better size, and without the stubbed stern). Not sure if the Italian Battleship is the AA42 German variety (as opposed to the smaller AA50 varient) but I hope so.
Also, we now have Italian Heavy Tanks for house rules! And maybe Heavy Artillery too! :-)

I have heard that the AA42 pieces are quite nice… would you recommend I buy AA42 just for the pieces?

The 1940 pieces and the 1942 pieces are identical. The Italian pieces would therefore be the 1942/1940 style, not the smaller AA50 style.

Yeah, but if I wanted more pieces for some reason… 42 would be the way to go?

If you want plastic AA-guns and factories, yes :lol:

definitely. It’s only like 25$ and it has good pieces for if you run out of the main powers pieces plus it is also the best introductory game to a and a (if you wanted to teach a friend or something).

Yes! Definitely the way to go.

WTF?
I really don’t get this. Why does the French Navy have to be Soviet-based? French Navy>Soviet Navy at that time. At least make them British :roll:

Seconded. But you all knew that already.

As soon as I heard 1940 games had cardboard markers i bought 2 copys of 42 for ICs and AA guns. Also make the fricken french british and not soviet.
-
AA42 is a really good option to get more pieces, but has no tactical bombers or light infantry. There are also only five armies: USA, UK, SU, Germany, Japan
-
Ya. I used for extra pieces. They may only be the 5 main but id rather buy 2 42 copies than 4 1940 2 pacific 2 europe. Also i wanted the ICs and AA guns mainly. I use 42 to introduce friends.
