the allies cannot win with russia so heavily crushed. The gain in IPC’s for both the axis countries should ensure victory. As germany, take the rest of russia in order to close that theater, even if you lose another West europe germany. After closing that front, focus entirely on GB and take back Europe. You should be able to do this with the gain of IPC’s. Build your navy and keep using the economy to your advantage. Obviously you have more IPC’s than britain, which means you should be able to slowly overrun them. As japan, a navy would serve well to repulse the Americans. BUT make sure you don’t lose japan. So before you build a navy, make sure you have adequate defense on your mainland, and make sure the americans can’t land in Asia (screw Australia, you can take that back, not important) Once you are secure from landings. Use your IPC’s you took from Russia and the Middle east to build a navy that can cleanse your waters. With Both axis focusing on a Navy, you will be able to take the war to their doorstep by giving yourself an offensive fleet that can land troops onto the American continents while forcing the allies to play defensively
Confirmed: NOT a joke, game will be released

Delusional :-D
I’ve laughed for 45 minutes over how a man who thinks an entire company is playing an April Fool’s joke on him can call someone else delusional.
That’s good stuff.
Remember Crusty, just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to fool you. Don’t worry. When the game hits the shelves I’ll be here to remind how silly you made yourself look for a week.
Bad thing is that I’m sure that even after you’ve opened the box, set up the pieces and played a game of Axis and Allies 1941 that you’ll still say its WOTC playing a big joke on all of us.
-
lol just imagine if they cancel the game or it doesn’t get released now… lol.
-
The joke is that they’re basically releasing the same game again.
-
Yea but… can’t you say the same thing for EVERY version of Axis and Allies? Save Guadalcanal or BOTB?

AA50 and G40 are both unique from the trend, atleast that is my opinion

I see that you get my point. It has been five years since they published a NEW game. They just keep churning out tweaks of the map and ruleset. If they just want to tweak the map and rules how about tweaking BOTB for some eastern front action?

You forgot to mention D-DAY as a unique game.
But I agree, it’s high time for a truly new game: Stalingrad, Kursk (that’s where the new Tiger miniatures would come in handy!), market garden. It seems to me there’s very little creativity within WoTC. Sad, really.
However, i might buy the new game for the new pieces, but I already passed on A&A 1942. The only game I might actually still buy along the same lines and be truly happy with it is A&A 1939. After all, that’s when the war started and not in '40,m '41 or '42.

@Imperious:
The PDF is a standard issue for Distributors and Retailers so they can get their orders in ( and which they need too months before product release).
They did this with AA50 and AA40.
AA50?

I would like to see a North Africa version of the game, perhaps including the Med as well. Maybe have the Axis take Malta so they can get Rommel the proper supplies and reinforcements to kick Montgomery’s butt (ha ha). Heck, maybe the Italians could beat the Brits in the first place. They outnumbered them something like 4-1 or more. Yet the Brits kicked their butts something fierce. Seems like something wrong there to me.
Anyway, I have heard that Larry Harris has no intention of ever making a North Africa game so I guess I’m out of luck there. Would be cool to have more Italian involvement though. -

That’d symbolize basically what you’re talking about. Not sure, it may be included in one of the NO’s saying : "control x of the ollowing, but I believe it would have deserved to be an NO in its own right.

atleast im not alone on this one.
i usually am lolIL locked my thread about asking for the joke to end :P

Well… I honestly think that the ‘joke’ would have been revealed by now. And I think it is quite safe to assume that this is indeed a real product, coming soon. Let’s hope so anyway.
