Hoping for a new A&A game

@The-Captain

Nice. Very ambitious. I wish you the best of luck.

@tincanofthesea

Sure hope they all are. D-Day’s not too expensive though, that was reprinted some time ago. But not forking hundreds of dollars for one board game. Sure wish Guandacanal and Battle of the Bulge were on TripleA.

@barnee Sorry to disturb you but do you have a reason why Guandacanal and Battle of the Bulge are not on TripleA? Thank you!

@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

One thing I’ve been wondering is why can’t you buy WofTC stuff including Avalon products directly from the company?  Did they screw themselves by signing all sorts of restrictive distribution agreements with wholesalers?

Seems like a big mistake if they did. Probably contributes a serious percentage cost to the end product. Imagine buying 1940 2nd for $50 right from WofTC. Or replacement pieces right from them.

Who knows, maybe they are trying to shutter the A&A brand so their distributors let go of their contracts?  Maybe too savvy for them.

@Mill:

Are these poker chips identical front and back? And is one deluxe set, with the 25’s, enough for 1940 Global?

They are identical front and back, yes.

Most people playing 1940 Global end up getting 2 sets. Your mileage may vary.

One base set = 25 x 1’s, 15 x 5’s and 10 x 10’s
Mini upgrade = 25 x 25’s

When the sets were created it was intended for Anniversary edition and one set has worked quite well for us with that setup, as well as 1942 and 1941.

Well they sell Magic Cards, I’ll bet a pack of cards costs way more to produce than a package of say 5-10 minis and they could charge more for a mini pack.
