Differences between Revised and Spring 1942 editions

@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.

Thanks!

@St.:

I hear alot of people say that revised is more complicated than spring 1942. Now I played the classic version when I was 12. Sure it was a long time but aside from the tech and the board being diffrent I dont see to many changes from the two, and neither one really seems more complicated than the other.

So what happand in revised that was taken away that makes it more complicated than Spring 1942

Other than the Technology and the National Advantages (although the NAs were optional) the game system is essentially the same. I almost never play with Tech because it can be a game breaker.

Thank you!  :-)

@idk_iam_swiss:

yeah, it is smaller. but it looks sooo much better than revised.

If you compare both map area looks to be the same more or less: some territories/SZs are bigger on Revised or 1942. 1942 map looks better visually but concerning playability it is worse that Revised because of the borders. On Anniversary there’s larger territories and the borders are less harder to spot but on 1942 it gets impossible to see the borders in some areas (Europe and Atlantic SZs) specially when a territory is overstacked with pieces. And since this version is meant for new players the playability issue is even worse because they will not be accostumed to the territory connections like a veteran revised player.

@manincellv:

It is not worth getting without Italy.  Italy has set the standard now.  Its not a real A&A game without it.

Yes. Italy is awesome.
