Where to buy?

[elkikko]

@P@nther:

Then, if money does not matter, buy Europe1940 2nd edition and Pacific1940 2nd edition and combine them to Global1940 2nd edition.
From the A&A games this is definitely the biggest, most complicated game with lots of (different) units.

If money is an issue, buy ‘1942, 2nd Edition’ - it covers the latest ruleset - but is a simplification of course.

No reason to buy a game as outdated as Revised (except for collecting purposes), IMHO.

@elkikko:

…
What i expext is units like mechanized, rockets, tank, super tank, helicopters,… But only if the version is the best for you

So the above mentioned Global comes close to your needs (though you won’t find all those units you mentioned).

Thank you a Lot!
Sorry, I Will buy only one version. So, which to buy? Thanks

One version? You mean one game?
Well, that leaves only ‘1942 2nd Edition’, IMHO.

If you are ready to buy two games to combine them into the largest one - then consider to buy Europe1940+Pacific1940=Global1940 (2nd edition each).

Ok, so 1942 second edition od the best, good

The first link you posted shows an image that is from the 1941 game. That is another game.

Find images of 1942 2nd Edition here:

http://www.axisandallies.org/p/axis-allies-1942-second-edition-preview-map-and-setup/

It covers the whole world except north and south poles.

The map shown with the second link you posted is not an official A&A game.

If you want to use those units in the 1942 game you need to create your own house rules to include them.

but is there any axis & allies with these units or not??

The answer to your questions depends on exactly what you’re looking for.  From your various posts, I’m not certain of what that is.  For example, in one of your posts you siad that “What i expext is units like mechanized, rockets, tank, super tank, helicopters.”  No official A&A game ever published has ever featured rockets, super tanks (whatever those are) or helicopters.  Such units have been produced as unofficial extras by third-party companies, but not as official parts of official A&A games.

One thing which might be helpful would be for you to decide which one of the following is your priority:

• Are you only interested in getting an official A&A game?  If so, have a look at this site…

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=ah/downloads

…which provides downloadable rulebooks for most (but not all) of the A&A board games ever published.  The rulebooks will tell you what units each game contains.  The rulebooks for Europe 1940, Pacific 1940 and (if I remember correctly) 1942 include large charts which show all the units for all the countries.

• Are you only interested in getting special units like “mechanized, rockets, tank, super tank, helicopters” that you’ve mentioned?  If so, you have to look away from the official A&A games because they don’t contain any such units.  Instead, you need to look at other products – for example, the combat units currently made by HBG, or the older A&A expansion sets made by Table Tactics, or even at the units found in completely different games such as Fortress America.

Your best option, in my opinion, is to buy A&A 1942 2nd edition, and to supplement it with some of the battle pieces currently produced by Historical Board Games:

http://www.historicalboardgaming.com/See-All-Battle-Pieces_c_155.html

I don’t think HBG’s battle pieces come with rules, but many of its custom markers do…

http://www.historicalboardgaming.com/HBG-Custom-Marker-Rules_c_183.html

…so you could probably make use of some of these rules.

Another source of rules, or at least of rule ideas, is this section of the forum…

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?board=41.0

…if you’re willing to take a bit of time to look at the post titles to find sections that might interest you.

If I’m not mistaken, the old supplementary unit packs produced by Table Tactics…

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamepublisher/2248/table-tactics
Axis & Allies: A & A Accessories
Central Powers, Axis & Allies Variant
New World Order, Axis & Allies Variant

…did come with their own rules, but they’ve been out of print for a long time.  You may still be able to find them on the secondary market.

thanks;
NO rules found on tanks

[elkikko]

I Read that 1942 is not the best.

It has small graphics map, no technology.
Revised is the best? Which is the best?

Go to historicalboardgaming.com and look on the left of the screen. Almost every A&A game is listed. Start clicking. You will be able to see all the units that come with those games. If you want a quick one box unit expansion, and you don’t care about historical accuracy, get a Risk 2042 set. They are not as hard to find as some of the other older expansion/variant sets. The units don’t look the best. Some are down right sad. Also the colors only match A&A Classic. Otherwise go to HBG and start buying the units you want to add to the game. It’s faster than hoping for deals on ePay.
