Europe 1940 shows up on Wizards site…with screenshot

Anyone see Malta or the Azores?

@Shakespeare:

Yes to Malta, no to Azores.

The French look silly.

@cminke:

@Bob_A_Mickelson:

Anyone notice that they reworked the battlestrip a bit to make it slightly more battleboardish?
How about the AA50 style dice in the photo? (not that it matters since i will be purchasing another set of FMG dice for this game.)

I am also not convinced that this is the starting setup. This will probably be the image on the back side of the box, which has NEVER been the starting setup.

def not look at the russian units in the neutel teritories
OMG DO I SEE A F UP BY WOTC….YESS…LOOK AT THE SOUTH TIP OF INDIA!!! IT WON’T LINE UP TO AAP40!!!

It could still line up

@cminke:

look at the battle board…it MAY fit all the ips

It goes up to 72

Are the French Infantry, Japanese, I thought the infantry would get their own piece, but everything else was Japanese, that makes me mad, no not really I don’t care about the miniatures, but still.

Hooray for French Syria!

Cool pic

1. Setup is definitely not the correct one.
2. the sculpts and even the shade of blue for France may be off- as in the P40 box for ANZAC and such.
3. It would be nice to have a close-up of the map but at least we have something so in a month we will have more specific pics I’m sure.

Keep in mind this may not be the correct map: on a map in the P40 rulebook, Koprea is 2 ipc’s, BC and Yukon have a british roundel and are called Western Canada, and I think some Chinese territories are wrong

True.  Assuming that this is the image for the back of the box, it may have been shot using an early development or playtest board, as the map and box are probably sent to production at close to the same time.

Well at least this ends the long time we’ve had of nothing

Does anyone see a french control marker?

Does anyone see a french control marker?

only printed on the map

Soaudi arabia is HUGE!

Box shots always have US units in poland….how strange.

At last! WotC actually seem to want to show that they are, indeed, making this game!

The board looks fantastic to me, and I’m glad that we’re getting a better battle strip and IPC chart. Are those NO indicators I see next to the IPC level circles? :-)

Looks like france uses the T-34 tank mold.

Nope. Those are the weapon development charts.

@UN:

Krieg, the description seems to imply that France will be its own, seperate power, as in it will not be like China. Could they have changed the rules

As I have said before, France will be a separate power, but it will not have a separate player, just like China.  The only difference is that France won’t have special rules like China does.
