A&A CD game, runs sloooow

Wrong subforum - this one is for the coming 2nd edition of Axis and Allies Spring 1942.

The one you’re looking for is below, Axis and Allies 2nd Edition. Please wait until the mothership teleports this message to the relevant subforum. Thank you.

Wow. Some really informative and helpful replies. Thanks.

@kurt3892:

-There is a downloadable 3rd edition rulebook on the AAWC site…it is under ‘Other options’ under downloads.  You need Winzip to open it.

I downloaded that–thanks for the link–and it is the .PDF of the manual for the game. It explains the “Third Edition” rule changes, but isn’t what I’d consider an actual new edition of the rulebook.

If there never was a full rulebook that was included with any print runs of the board game, or available for download/purchase to owners of the board game, that makes it more understandable that the non-CD-ROM-based A&A crowd pretty much universally sticks to Second or Fourth Edition rules.

Also, it would take some creativity with the bits to bring the Marines and Destroyers from Iron Blitz over to the board game. If I were Hasbro, I would’ve prepared a “Third Edition/Iron Blitz Expansion Pack” to sell in stores with a shiny new rulebook, and pieces for the two new unit types, when Iron Blitz came out. But that would’ve required the project as a whole to have been much better-conceived than it actually was, I guess.

(For instance, how incompetent do you have to be to print way, way too few copies of even a poorly executed computer implementation like A&A: Iron Blitz, and never press any fresh CDs even when used copies turn up on eBay for $100-plus? Was there some reason they left money sitting on the table like that?)

AA is only available in Triple A online and the board game. Anything else is some silly fabrication with Axis and Allies slapped on the side.

Axis and Allies Butter
Axis and Allies salt shaker
Axis and Allies hubcaps

etc…

AAWC has a 4.1 patch that fixes most of the old problems, and a new WarZone that takes over where MSN GameZone left off!  See you there!

sorry Imp… I can only split threads into 2 threads, can’t combine… but good idea :wink:

If anything you have more of the Axis and Allies pieces and chips than I do :D .

Check KaZaA lite…

Hey Ron, go to the “games” forum on this page and observe to your heart’s content.
