As the Axis, I beat the Allies, played by the hard AI.
The Allies had a 27 IPC bid (9 IPCs per power).
Confirmed: NOT a joke, game will be released

I considered this for a minute but the release I was given did look legitimate and was not dated April 1 (is was dated March 31). Do we know any retailers that also received this announcement?
It is a little weird that it was dated Saturday.

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.

I want it for the new sculptsures!
-
Heavens To Mergatroid Zephon!!! Open it up and lets see whats in there
-
If it is being released that soon, I am sure we will see more of it VERY shortly.
-
I have inquired about a review copy. If they do send a review copy, it should arrive 2-3 weeks before release and, luckily, I have those weekends free.
-
Okay, I will buy it.

“Axis & Allies 1941 is designed to be set up and played more quickly than any previous A&A game. In essence, this is a simplified A&A experience that will introduce players to the A&A mechanics and play style. […] A key feature for enfranchised players is an entirely new set of unit sculpts. […] These playing pieces can be used in any other A&A game, and will be desirable to players who seek to expand their A&A collections.”
It almost sounds as if they were inspired by Axis & Allies Express and by the expanded sculpts being produced by FMG and HBG.

Hmm… I’m willing to bet there wasn’t any ‘almost’ about it. Ah well… I’m in for that price.

Generally speaking, it’s only the good news in life that ever needs to be confirmed. Bad news tends to carry built-in credibility.

they already confirmed a second angels 20 set and War at sea set 7 is under discussion right now on the priority list so why would a 1941 boardgame that has been talked about since January and me who has just recently joined the boards knew about a few weeks before the NR (by reading on this board no less) be an aprils fools joke when the information wasnt even revealed on april fools day?
