One last shot. The role of the neutrals is graciously being played by an old set of WW11 Russian infantry and artillery that I painted black.

Why is 1914 the most expensive version of A&A
-
@CWO:
I suspect that 1914 is more expensive because all of its sculpts are new designs (despite the fact that every nation uses the same generic designs), whereas 1940 and 1942 use a lot of pre-existing sculpt molds.
Putting more thought into that argument… 1941 is pretty much identical to 1914 in that it uses all new sculpts (that half the nations use the same designs x2). Tigers, Russian Carriers, JS-2s, FW-190s, etc, etc… they’re all new sculpts in 1941… I know 1941 cuts a lot of corners, but new sculpts doesn’t seem to jack the price, that’s my point.

Its to cover the cost of all 3 playtest sessions.

Were they played on the moon, that they cost so much to fund?
Have missed you, Flashman. Hope you have been keeping well. -
Alas, just turned 50. Been looking back on a wasted life.

Happy birthday!
We can all say that, Flash. Keep your chin up. Life goes on. Keep well. -

A life playing Axis & Allies is hardly what I’d call a wasted life.

I started A&A with 1941 when I was twelve. I’m fifteen now. Am I wasting my life?!?

No, as I explained in my above post (though perhaps I should have expressed it more clearly), I think that playing A&A is a worthwhile pursuit. Spending time playing A&A is not a waste of time. And even if it was a waste of time, assessing your particular situation would depend on what angle you approach it from. Fifteen minus twelve means you’ve spent three years (presumably not three solid years) playing A&A, which can be considered either a big or a small number. If you view three years as 20% of your total lifespan so far, then yes it’s a lot. If you view three years as 3.5% of a projected total lifespan of, let’s say, 85 years, then it’s an insignificant figure. :-)

But sometimes I look at our A&A forum exchanges and feel my life wasting away …. :wink:

Well I’ll be continuing playing A&A for as long as possible. Getting a job is going to make me have significant less time.
