AA42 on Clearance at Target

@McLovin1985:

Think they’ll make a Global version on GTO? Not sure about the time gap between Revised and AA42 when they came out.

It’s probably more likely that AA50 would come out (there’s been demand for it on their forums since the boardgame was released).  The 1940 diplomatic rules would probably be impossible for them to code correctly and that game breaks hard when something goes wrong.

Thanks thats the way I’ve been playing, I just wanted to be sure.

@Hobbes:

@Mr.:

The map look of the map is great, the chip amount is frustrating, but over all this is a good game. Buy it.

The map look is good but because of almost invisible German borders and the lack of space in European territories the playability is bad.

Like it was said above, if you have Revised and Anniversary just download the ruleset and play it with Revised map and AA50 pieces. The map changes are minor (2 almost useless islands, Formosa and Iceland, and a few changes to North America).

Using the marshaling cards from Revised or making your own will take care of the space issue. So far I am enjoying the game with my 2 sons.

I think AE is superior in their details  :-)
But a lot of AE ship-bottoms (?) was uneven.

I have painted both revised and AE and when I look at ´42 they all
seem blurred.

Example;
the US bomber has some doors/hatches/whatever just behind the wings
and it is clear to see in AE but ´42 it is just a blur on the sides.

I don´t know if Capt.Kiwi bought ´42 and is reading this. Then I would like his opinion.
Or anyone else who has painted  :-)

It is not the end of the world I just don´t understand why.

@mojo:

is this a differnt game than the aa50 anniverisary edition.  the aa50 game i bought came with 41 & 42 versions.

It’s a revision to the revised or re-revised!  New sculpts, new units, new map!

and if aa42 were aa50-where japan does often get pretty large, then that might not be such a big issue…but '42 is supposedly to be more like AAR, where japan wasn’t exactly godzilla running amuck…

to judge the actual quality of the components in deciding which to play based on that, we have to wait for the release.

variety…perhaps, speed of play…maybe, can’t get AA50…sure

…one can drink too much so as to turn off one’s date as they get vomited upon…

@LuckyDay:

Can we get a new forum setup for AA Candyland, that should be awesome and sign me up for 3 copies!  Ah heck, with Christmas coming up, better make it 5…

That game’s basically the same as Hungry Hungry Hitler.  I wouldn’t bother.

i’ve been laughing sick…
hungry hungry hitler!
+1 karma, but to bad i can’t give karma (yet…)
