Well done!
FLYER FOR 2ND EDITION E40 AND P40 IS OUT- SEPTEMBER 18TH, 2012
-
Correct. Â Yours starts in 1941. Â AAE40 from 2010 has a map twice that size and includes several new unit types (2 types of factory, tac bombers, cruisers, mech inf). Â It also includes the French and Italians. Russia and USA are Neutral at the start of the game. Â It is a much deeper game than the 1999 version (which is also great, and quicker to play).

ugh :-P more games to add to my list to get.

Good catch – the second page of the Europe flyer lists 610 plastic miniatures while the second page of the Pacific one makes no mention of miniatures. It also makes no mention of a rulebook, whereas Europe does. Plus there’s the two-boards-versus-one-board part that’s already been pointed out. It looks like whoever at WotC prepared the two flyers did a crummy cutting-pasting-editing job.

i’m starting to notice that the first flyer for a new game is alittle screwy. with a 2nd flyer done later

You could say pretty much the same thing about the Pacific/Europe 1940 rulebooks, so I guess this is some kind of standard operating procedure at WotC.
-
it’s funny because WotC seem to have there act together with Magic The Gathering but drop the ball everywhere else. Including D&D. And before anyone argues about D&D they went from 3rd edition to 3.5 edition in less than a year and a half, because so much stuff was screwy with 3rd edition they had to rewrite the books.

Larry may still have an ace up his sleeve, he has been pretty silent lately.
Perhaps he has taken Alpha +3 and put his own spin on it.
I mean, remember what it was like before Pacific 1940 came out…we had no idea the Convoy system would work like that.
So Larry may be crafting Alpha +4 as we speak. -
I bet there will be gamechanging changes in the map and in the ruels! To make Global40 2nd edition a DIFFERENT game! That way we will ALL have to buy it :D

I expect MAYBE a couple of small setup tweeks but otherwise that’s it.

@Cow:

Agreed.
I am not inclined to give them my money again after the whole fiasco with the last few games of theirs. I used to snap up each new game of theirs without question. Those days are gone as they no longer have my confidence in releasing a finished product.
-
yeah preordered 1941 only. Going to inspect the rest 1st.

As will I.
1941 seems like a good game for what it is. I’ll get that for my students to play during lunch hours.
