News flash: AXIS & ALLIES ANNIVERSARY EDITION due out oct 23 08

I have heard that the new cruiser can move 3 spaces.  That would make navy battles more interesting.  Can any one confirm that?

That would be interesting… Man, I can’t wait for this game!  :-D

Wow, only 14 weeks left to go.  Where are the days going?  :roll:

Not sure, but 6 hours of my Wednesday went to playing Axis on Gleemax, including one game in a live 1x1 - - fun up until my Allies opponent “surrendered” - disconnect counts as that - and then the mighty AI shredded any chance the Allies had!  Still took a couple hours total to make 10 VC!

It would be very nice if AH/Gleemax gets around to updating its version of Revised to LHTR standards, say by the time Anniversary comes out. Then we can yell at them to upgrade again!

Only 12 weeks and 6 days left!  :roll:

@Funcioneta:

I remember a day when we were 8 for playing a game for 5 … we had to play 2 guys for each country  :-D )

They should make it three players for each country… Army ,Navy and Airforce, each with one third the IPC’s… and you have to argue among yourselves over what units to buy and whether to give your money to the other guy… wouldn’t want to be playing the Russian Navy… still, you’d start with enough money to buy a sub or a transport LOL :-o

@Mr:

They should make it three players for each country…

I’ll tell you what they should do. They should incompletely playtest the game so that it requires at least 1 or more bid units and also create a flawed ruleset that requires multiple revisions after extensive playing by the masses.

I figure it’s worked in the past so we shouldn’t mess with a good thing.

Could you imagine if the rules and the force deployment were spot on? There’d be tumbleweeds blowing through the discussion section.

No this game have 2-5 players and an estimatet playing time of 2 - 3 houers, so this cant be Anniversary ed

I went to the site to preorder and Krupp is right.  Hopefully the description is wrong:

umm did i order the wrong one,or are you saying the # of players thing is wrong?Cus i already pre-ordered 2,they said 50th anniversary,and oct23,08.So i hope i misread your post.

Krupp:  I refered to your post incorrectly [sorry] but the description I posted is correct.  In fact, I found the same description on Several sites offering a pre-order for AA Aniversery.  Based on the prices, I gotta think that they are using the wrong ad description?  At least I hope.  I don’t know any other AA game going for $100 retail!

A steal for you guys and gals across the big pond! :-)

69.99 for each,i had some saved money,so i didnt mind spending it,hopefully they send it to the right address or i will be very upset :-P
