I can’t quite make out the board. Would you take 2 pictures, each one half of the board, so I can get a better view?
Did your group okay getting outside advice for an active game? If not, then I cannot help you as that would be unethical.
1942SE at GenCon was awesome.

I honestly don’t care that I did not get what I want (still will get it in a month anyway).
I was initially commenting about DJ’s statement on the tournament winners and I just pointed out a few things he missed. Â I honestly don’t care about what I won or not, I am just saying since this was the first global 1940 tournament at Gencon that greg hosted and that g40 is still very new(new versions kept appearing every few months), it would be logical to assume that the number g40 participants would increase as the game becomes more popular and the rules become more stabilized. ÂI did expect that the 50th ann prize would of gone to the winner of the 50th ann tournament and not raffled off, but I was told that it would be difficult to share something of that value with a team. Â WoTC gave greg 2 copies of each not 1, for the record. Â 1 was raffled off, and the other was given as a choice to the 1942/50th winners. Â Also, there was no “choice” at all since we were given our prizes before you guys and only had the choice of the 3 small theatre games. Â
I have a hard time believing that 50th ann brings in more players than global since it costs close to 2-3x as much as E40 and P40 Combined. Â 1942, probably, but number of players should have nothing to do with first pick or not.

It does because most, if not all, of gencon players purchased it at the time it came out. Those who dont have it still play it with others in their group. Not everyone had to have a copy after all, just one of them.
That being said…yes, AA50 is the most attended event.

What kind of chips does the game come with? The old-school ones or the new ones from '42.2???

The new ones. Green, grey and red.

I just wanted to report that had a blast paying Axis & Allies at the convention! Greg (SmoreySwamp) runs a smooth operation - maximizing fun despite the fact it’s only 3.5 days of gaming. The prizes were amazing as well.
You really have to experience it to understand it. It’s a pressure cooker playing in a tournament and it’s a different game of Axis & Allies but still enormously fun.
You echo my thoughts exactly. It was a wonderful experience. And you were a great, classy competitor, our hobby gains much with you being a part of it. Thanks! :-)

Thank you for posting the pictures. Great to see they got the setup correct and the Italian tank looks cool. But may I be the first to say the Italian AA gun looks…. weird.

If I am not mistaken, it looks like an ITALIAN AUTO CANNONE 90/53 AA.
Still can’t post picture or I am doing something wrong… :x

To me that’s the coolest of the AA Guns so far :D LOL

I like the Italian AAA, it’s very unique looking. Glad it’s using the new chips, our group played 42-2nd Ed last night and the guys loved the new chips and I’m glad we can get some more.
-
Speaking of chips, a dishonest Italian player might try to hide a stack of chips under the disk of the AA gun. Oh now I get it! It’s like the sandpeople in Star Wars: “they use each others tracks to hide their numbers”. Desert warfare
The green chip @3 is a very good idea BTW. I’m getting some from HBG some that will click with the older chips.

I noticed USA start with Major ICs

On the back of the box French look like they still have the T-34
We hoped but i think they didn t upgrade the french units -
Yeah, it looks like I got it backwards.
Yes, the winners of the A&A Global tournament received copies of Second Edition. You can ask Squirecam for spoilers. Congrats guys!
Sounds like a good time was had by all…
No sightings of E40 or P40 2nd editions on the ground?
Sadly DJ, the global winners did not get copies of g40 2nd edition, we did however get copies of guadalcanal and battle fo the bulge. It seems like the 50th Ann and 1942 tournament winners get priority over the global winners. Something that I hope changes later on.
