2nd edition board using G40 pieces and 1942 rules?

Yes.

@TheVenocWarlord:

Yeah, it can, but you’ll need to mark your AA guns somehow as they are now Power Dependent and you’ll have several more lying around on the map.

Though I’d suggest you go to the trade thread and ask for just the 2nd Map and extra AA guns, you should be able to get them for $10ish +shipping. That’s what I did.

you don’t REALLY need to mark AA ownership.  It’s rare indeed for Japan to combine AA with Germany, or US to bring AA to UK, etc etc etc.  Since they never can attack, they’ll never share a space with an opposing force. So I don’t see this as being that big of a problem.

My friend just bought two copies of Spring 42…solved lots of problems…then bought the special die and containers for them…then we black sharpied Europe…hard to see territories…

I really enjoy AA42.  It really is worth the money.  Sure, the spaces on the board are too small, but there are downloads to take care of that.  Play it a few times and you’ll be as hooked as I am.

One thing about translating NA’s from AA50 would be Italy.  Without Italy, the NA’s would be in favor of Allies.

If you want to play AA50, use the AA 1942 pieces and IL’s big AA 50 map and download the rules from WotC/AH website.

Not sure about the techs.  Paratrooper would wreck havoc as the board is smaller than AA50 and LRA and paratrooper would allow you to reach almost any territory possible.

As for being bland, I would have to disagree, AA 1942 (AAR with AA50 rules) allows for different strategies, (not sure about a bid as it’s still new and people haven’t had enough time to play with it.

Play with it first before modifying.

Good gaming.

I would also have to agree on that one.  I would rather have space for more units as well.
