AA Europe '40 Box Art

@LHoffman:

I would agree with Lozmoid also. I guess it would have been fine by me if they had left off the flags… if they had done that in the first place we wouldn’t have had our previous discussion. I would agree that this new one looks more or less ‘boring’ in comparison to others I have seen. It also seems somewhat less creative. But hey… it is what it is, and I am still excited for it.

I don’t have a problem with the flags, nor the choice of a french flag there; there’s logical reasoning behind it.

Flags, because Pacific 40 box has flags in the center as well, and since the 2 games are supposed to be playable as a whole, the box art should reflect this to some degree.

A french flag, not because French was the prima donna of the war, but because France will be the main newly added aspect in the new game (and possible the center of the action).

So, about content, i think art director & illustrator did a decent job. Visually, well… it fits the series.
And yes, it’s what’s inside the box that counts!

The French flag looks as if it has some sort of red symbol on it…?

Perhaps it’s the Vichy France flag?

Nope, it’s the Free French flag with the cross of Lorraine

Free French=leftover french units in Africa, so yes.

Maybe units from Atlantic coast of France that moved into the UK?

There will be free french, but no Vichy french.

Whats the difference?

Vichy were axis after the fall of France while free french were for the allies

Just have the Vichy represented by the German units produced with France’s IC. Simple and uncomplicated.

The boxes seem to match in style, so I guess that’s good even regarding what is / isn’t on the cover.

Will the two games merge well? That’s what I’m worried about. Are we going to get cardboard markers / a shortage of units? Time will tell.

@LHoffman:

I have never watched  the movie (Austin Powers I assume).

Get outta here!

Nope! I am in here… (as in I have not seen it). Not really my kind of movie I guess.

I hear ya, not really my movie either but I saw it because my friends loved it, and I have to admit that it was pretty funny.

Better Picture!

hmm, still kinda fuzzy…

@Upside-down_Turtle:

I just am waiting to see a hi-rez pic of the board, with no units on it so we can see all the details, please Larry come through for us!
