Preview copy of 1942 2nd Edition might be arriving soon

@taamvan:

What do you do when there are 32 infantry on Karelia and 35 on Moscow? Standing room only?

One serious problem with this game is that without any unit upkeep or space limits, there is also no limit to how big/messy turtle time can get

I play “mostly chit free”… I never said 100% chit free. Obviously when you have to, you have to (looking at you Moscow)… of course this is 1942, not 1940, so the stacks usually don’t get too crazy… however I have a large pool for each country (I have 70 infantry and 30 tanks for each country in my bins for example, which is a lot for 1942)… so it takes awhile to force the use of chits, and its minimal usage at best in my games.

I have, however played games where not a single chit went on board, and those always make me happy.

Pretty funny even though ive seen videos like this many times

I’m a big believer in paper money! I used those same AA50 bills for a while, until a got the HBG cash.
Look at those classic factories!

Great video man  :-D

Beautiful Ruskie bomber! How giant she is haha. Genius

VERY VERY lucky. Specially taking into account that they only lost 6 units.

It’s not always needed but if that is the outcome of your group games I would set up a allied bid system it could help

The files were finally approved. Here’s what I posted in the BGG forum:

I recently uploaded to the BGG files area the following player aids and helper files for Axis & Allies 1942 2e:

Setup and Profile Cards:
Setup (front) and unit profiles (back) for each nation that are easier to read than the ones included with the game. This file is meant to be printed on 5 double sided sheets, one for each nation.

Player Aid with Sea Profiles:
A player aid containing pictures of each sea unit profiles, order of play, turn phases, combat sequence, victory conditions, and a color coded stacking chip chart. This file is meant to be printed on both sides of one sheet of paper.

Player Aid with Unit Profiles:
A player aid containing unit stats, order of play, turn phases, combat sequence, victory conditions, and a color coded stacking chip chart. The back contains the unit profile chart from the manual. This file is meant to be printed on both sides of one sheet of paper.

Victory City Flags:
A collection of Victory City flags. These can be used to create stands to show which side controls each victory city. I printed them on label paper and folded the flag around some small posts to create small flag standies to place on the board.

Enjoy!

Agreed. Awesome video Dave but you’ve got to set it all up again. There’s nothing worse than an unfinished game of A&A.

@Canuck12:

Thanks for the hard work DJ! I read the forums but love the articles too ;)

Any official word yet on whether Honalulu is a VC or not? Book says no, map says yes. I have heard 2 different stories now about which to trust.

Ditto!  I’m hoping there is at least an official word on this before the game arrives, preferably a FAQ. :)
