2nd edition board using G40 pieces and 1942 rules?

So happy to finally get the clarification on this. It’s been bugging me. As usual, it’s in the rulebook somewhere, just needed to find it!

That’s correct.

Yes, the AA50 sub rules are a bit muddled, but the FAQ helps immensely.

There are no official rules on undoing a mistake, so you’ll have to work that out with your opponent.  However, many on-line clubs have procedures for such situations.  Maybe one of their members will suggest something here.

By the way, this is the AA42 forum, so questions about AA50 are off-topic here.  Please post further AA50 questions in the appropriate forum.  Thanks.

@White:

I would like to insert the technology research of 2nd edition into Spring 1942.

@Herr:

You’re right about the paper IPC’s - they’re missing from the Spring 1942 edition and I also use the IPC notes from my second edition game.
I don’t recommend using the technological advances from the old game in the 1942 edition. Apart from A&A being better without tech anyway (imho), the second edition advances are really unbalanced and tend to disrupt the natural course of play, to some degree even turning it into a game of chance rather than skill.

I don’t like tech myself either since Classic but I’d say that you if need to have tech on your games then check the AA50 tech chart. It has nearly all of the techs from Classic and 6 new techs.

Voted.It is going to be a close one between the Yaks and HMS Prince of Whales i suppose…I voted both :)

It’s an attractive game board though. I’ve seen some of the original AA boards and they were hideous. I think it serves the purpose of getting people into the series well. We’ve added D-Day to the game list. The games get very heated and the players are very competitive, this last game was sort of a buzz kill because it was over in only 3 rounds and seemed too easy, I was convinced we must have been doing a lot of things wrong, and I think I’ve realized all of those things now. =)

@ragnarok628:

wait, so the number of pieces DOES limit how many ICs can be on the board?

No. The only edition where the number of existing pieces limited the number of units you could have on the board was on Classic, in the booklet that came with the rules addendum.

Thanks for the welcome! I’ve been busy with work and haven’t taken pictures yet haha. I have however finished Germany and now working on America… Germany in my opinion looks 100 times better than Japan… I should’ve used the Russians as my starters since the vast majority of their pieces just sit in the box…

Yeah I too plan on buying AAP40 and AAE40… Painting all those will keep me busy for lord knows how long.
