@panther Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, I have finished translating the whole rulebook, but I’ll be sure to use if I ever translate the 1940 and 1942 versions. Right now, I’m going to work on the Anniversary version instead, even though I don’t own that version (nor the 1940 and 1942 versions). Thank you very much for your help.
I think it arrived!

I could recreate the box opening, I guess. I think I threw out the plastic bags for the pieces.

Can’t wait to see!!
-
Not as worried about the IC’s and cardboard pieces (already got plenty of both). I just hope that it truly is an introductory game that allows me to get more people into the world of Axis and Allies.
-
Very true! Other people I’ve tried getting into the game have stated “why so many different pieces?” or “does it have to take so long?”. This solves the problem…
-
Is it gross that I’m slightly aroused in anticipation of seeing what’s new?
-
Slightly gross that you’re slightly aroused.
-
Whats the degree of arousal?
-
I’m waiting all day for these pics. Where are they?
-
Yeah, the suspense is killing me. I’ve missed half my work coming back on here to check for updates.
We need pics of some sort like Herman Goering needed a hit of morphine.

“Okay, I’m working on an unboxing video them the photos. Keep tuned for all the A&A 1941 excitement.”
“Cutting video”
as per djensen…
something is coming soon…cross fingers!
-
Hurry up! I can’t wait any longer at my computer! I have to go to the bathroom …
-
If you see Djensen name in red, that should mean he is working on putting the info on this site.
-
… can’t … wait … have to pee … so bad …
-
It’s so funny seeing all the excitement right now as I know as well of all of you that we will be ripping this game big time starting as soon as we see it. Lol
-
I just want the pieces. I have no interest in the game itself.
-
I actually have a lot of interest in the game. I have some other friends that I would like to get into war gaming that even AA42 seems daunting to them. Plus, there is also a new unit type (AA artillery) that I would like to see the rules for. Also interested in seeing the layout of the map. If it’s any different from '42 territory-wise. Looks like Larry will be going back to the optional rule from 2nd edition of no new industrial complexes being built. Really, the only thing I’m bummed about so far is cardboard in place of poker chips. The poker chips couldn’t cost that much, could they? I see plastic pieces sliding off of cardboard easily, let alone stacks of cardboard…
-
I’m with Variable. I may rip the game, if I think it deserves it, but I really hope it’s something I can get my friends to play. Then maybe Spring 42 won’t seem so bad, then maybe Europe or Pacific 1940 then global. I’m most interested with the map myself along with the initial setup, just for that reason.
The cardboard is a bummer, but I have chips if need be.
I’m just really hoping this is a game that stays true to A&A yet can be played in an hour and a half almost every game. Depending on the map, maybe there are some different setups and rules we can make to make it a longer game if wanted, but Right now I just want a true introductory game. -
I suppose I could introduce the students at my school to it.
-
Enjoy. Box opening video to soon follow as soon as I can find some music for it.

Holy cow! Check out that map! I wonder what the units cost?! Are infantry down to 1?
