The Return of Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition

After making bigger maps for Global 1940 and Anniversary, Renegade is now putting up an enlarged 1914 map for pre-order:

@zooooma I see no indication of anything even remotely about AA games, but more fantasy titles being worked on which is typical of WOTC. they choked the life out of Avalon Hill until it was dead. They could care less about anything remotely Historical and only deal in FANTASY. Nothing but a bunch of fat slobs with pimples rolling for hobgoblins, etc.

It was just announced a few hours ago. Plus there are screenshots which I’m putting into an article.

@simon33:

Maybe an update of Anniversary Edition? That would be the most popular possibility, I feel.

I wish, but that is unlikely since Larry said his new game is not A&A. I checked the upcoming games at Hasbro, WOTC and AH, but nothing looks like the game Larry is talking about, so I guess Larry pull this off by himself and not via a big company. Larry also said this game have new features different from A&A. So it must be a new combat system. I figure this game can not be huge like the Global 40, more likely its the same size as Larrys first game, MB classic from 1984, but with LHTR rules that is designed for tournament play. This new game will be like a chess game, very balanced and playable, and with the WWII theme only as a background. It will take like 4 hoers to complete, and not a weekend like the G40. Just my guess

If you’re referring to this board section…

…as far as I can tell it was set up by Larry in October 2004 under the very general theme of “What are some MUST HAVE’S you like to see in an advanced game?”  When someone on the board asked “What is this anyway?  Is advanced axis and allies really being designed, and if so, about what percent is it done? Would we be able to expect to see this this year? Next? 2007?”, someone called Lobo answered “It’s something that Larry is interested in doing. It may or may not see fruition.”  Larry confirmed this by saying “Lobo is correct. There are no definitive plans or time line for such a game. There is however an identified need for this baby.”  So the board section seems to have been just intended for brainstorming purposes, not for the development of a specific game.

Just to put those threads into context: October 2004 is a few months after Revised and D-Day came out, four years before Anniversary came out, and five years before the first 1940 game (Pacific 1940 1st ed.) came out.  So this notional “Advanced A&A” may in fact have generated some ideas that were incorporated into some of the A&A games that were published since 2004.

@Adlertag:

A new edition of A&A is to be released in August 2009.

There is a box to the right on this forum, showing it will sell for $39.95 and the Anniversary Edition for $97.99, however, when you click on it, it sends you to Amazon, where the regular edition is $125.99 and the Anniversary edition is $399.99. I doubt they will sell very many.

Sorry to double post  :|

But I just found this news on a CONFIRMED RE-RELEASE of AA50
