My review copy of Axis & Allies Europe 1940 has arrived

Im excited too, but watching this tread for all your reactions is very entertaining. this forum should be considered for a reality TV show. so many funny and interesting characters.

@Dylan:

Also when people go back to this in a few years it will look bad when the first few pages are about

Pictures!!!(11111)
I’ll kill you if you don’t post anything
I know where you live NOW PICTURES!!!

Like even the mod is wining for them, like all these posts should be deleted.
Are you kidding Dylan, a bunch of adults getting so excited over a game is priceless. anyone feel alittle like a kid again?

Ouch! messed that one up. sorry

Yeah, a real sick reality TV show.   :x

The proper way to do this is to take the pictures first, then post them all in one go.

Half the forum then has a heart attack.

What happens when the pics are posted and everyone starts posting at the same time? can the server crash or something?

by the way speaking of reality TV, i know its not the correct thread to post this in or anything, but while we are waiting anyone have any good stories about late night AA games when a rules despute turns into a full blown screaming match? i have in my house at 2 or 3 am and watched friends at each others throats becouse the war was going bad for their side.

I remember when I was younger doing that. Now I honestly don’t care, it’s just a game.

YES!!!

And I j–— in my pants!

Yes!! Thank you!

Is it possible that you could shoot some more closeups of the board? Please…… :-)

seconded… and pieces especially french and the neutral forces?

Spain is one territory

Hmmm looks like the USSR will get a bonus right out of the gate, their starting income is 28 and  Larry said something about them staring with 35 I think.

OMG Russia has one Battleship!!!

hahahah

And India will look like a female cows bottom…

And he made France look just like my Global 1939 variant.

Can somebody rewrite the set up?

If you can just do a few nations the others can pick up the rest.

But it really looks like Russia has a battleship!!

They also went back to the better quality AA50 dice. take a look!

I didn’t like those Halloween dice, these are much better

I just noticed the techs have 2 tiers ( perhaps like my house rules you cant get into the second tier until you got a specific amount developed in the lower level?)

Ill try staring with italy (these may not be accurate just as best as i cans see, and IL, yes Russia has a Battleship)

Albania: 2inf 1 tank
Etheopia: 2 inf
Italian Somaliland: 1 inf
Libya:2 inf
Northern Italy: 2 inf 2 art 1 tank 1 AA 1 fghter 1 MAjor IC 1 ari base
Southern Italy: 2 inf 1AA 1 fighter 1 Minor IC 1 naval base
Tobruk? :1 or 4 (prob 4) inf 1 art 2 mech 1 tank
SZ 95: 1 CA 1 BB 1 trns
SZ 92: destroyer? 1 Cruiser 1 trns

@Imperious:

Actually if you look at DJensen’s pics of Pacific and Europe they look like they line up. I’ll have to go home and take a look for sure though.

And I also counted up the IPCs for each nation (according to the values on the box) and it looks like the economies are:

Axis-66
Allies-164

Quite an advantage for the Allies for sure.
