Pre-Order available for both 1941 and 1942

What you can do is eliminate the units, then noncom into newly captured territory.

This isn’t a blitz.

By holding mechs and tanks back during combat movement, you could potentially noncom them into zones (newly captured or not) they could not have reached during combat. you often need all your firepower so this isnt all that common but it is helpful

Wow! Thanks for the amazing feedback! We really appreciate you taking the time to go through the whole thing so carefully. We hope you will share this with others interested in learning the game.

Audio balancing with other folks is always tricky. We did our best.

The Geronimo Easter egg is available in both videos. Each has one subtle error. Find them and win a prize.

@taamvan:

Also, as I said, you must deploy the carrier directly under the planes if they survive the turn; if they don’t you can place it anywhere

You can do the same thing when you declare you’re going to bring an existing carrier up in NCM for fighters to land on after a battle is over. If the fighters die, you don’t have to move the carrier. Reference the “Pearl Harbor light” opening for Japan.

It’s a board game, not a historical simulation.

After replaying it on slow speed, it appears that they are using dice as aircraft range markers and bomb damage.  I hadn’t thought of using dice for range markers but it makes sense.  More practical than using cardboard chits.

Thanks for posting these up YG.

I just want to chime in here and say these are the rules for the FMGCon AA42.2 tournament this year that I “wrote”.  Essentially I took the rules from Smorey Swamp and adjusted them to a Swiss Tournament format and adjusted for time restraints.

Otherwise, it’s basically the same tourney rules that Greg runs at his big convention games.

If anyone has any issues or concerns, absolutely let us know. These are not yet 100% final, and the details of the tournament are still up in the air to be finalized.

First draft of the tournaments details;

Rules as above 16 player limit (8 tables with 2 players per table) 3 rounds @ 2.5 hours (with 1/2 hour between rounds for breaks and resetting the boards) Winner decided based on points Prize TBD (Trophy + ?) No extra entry fee (must have an FMGCon weekend pass) Advance sign up required

Very good idea, personally I love the one-part maps!!

Aniversary Is cool to have but other than having Italy I just wasn’t all that stoaked about it. The sculpts in mine were really bad in alot of ways I ranted about this along with others when it came out . 1942 Second Ed is awesome and with a bit of tweaking you can probably get a better experience than AA50. HBG and FMG have a set of Italian minis and roundels you could easily use. As far as balancing goes you could simply combine Germany and Italy and simply use your Italian pieces in place of Germans where it calls for them or use some house rules.

You can get the Aniversary rules too but I’m not sure where.

While I might dodge some stones being thrown here AA50, was not a favorite of mine. For what it costs to get a copy it’s not worth it. There are a ton of threads on here as to how to make your own version of AA50.

Personally the attraction of this game for me was to have the game in my AA collection. I have all the board based AA games except for Guadal Canal and AAE40.

We’re only a few days from the release of Axis & Allies 1942 Second Edition and Amazon has it for pre-order:
