It’s too bad it is limited to the US.  :-(

Okay, I think we can nail down the exact release date of the original NOVA Axis and Allies edition to July 3, 1981, as it debuted at the Origins Game Fair in 1981 and the dates for the Origins Game Fair can be found here:

Wish I saw this last weak, oh well I will be sure to use it on my next purchase.

Congratulations!

And thanks to BOTH of you!

I am very glad to see that A&A.org is expanding beyond its largely US base (with some Canadians and a few strong English speaking players from elsewhere) to begin to include other players who may not be fluent in English.

Kudos (and good karma) to you both for the expansion into Europe via native languages!

@rjclayton:

What are the differences between 3rd and 2nd Editions?

If you are familiar with the 1998 CD version, that is the start of 3rd edition (or had 3rd edition options).

Some changes are, submerging retreating subs, air units can retreat from amphib assualts, Wcan no longer boarders the Atlantic.

2 hit BBs were introduced, although I think that was just and extra option.
Always active AA’s, I think just another option.

@cyan:

what happened to 1st edition?

I’m not too familiar with 1st edition, it was before my time.  I started playing in the mid 80’s and it was already 2nd edition.

From my understanding 1st edition had some different multinational rules (possibly attacking) and new IC’s had no production cap.  So a common strat would be UK build and IC on Per and just strat pumping out units.

this is why i feel uncomfortable when someone points to my (proliferic) post number. This is not an acheivement, so much as an anti-acheivement. The note that this is how much time i have spent NOT on a date, NOT studying, and NOT sleeping etc.
it’s very sad.

thought you’d like that. but just think how TG feels. :wink:
