Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition More Details (article discussion)

@toblerone77 A bit late to the party here but anyway…!
The sculpts are made in a lighter plastic than later versions and the Japanese infantry sculpts, for example, really show this. Lots of them have half their helmets missing and their rifle stocks are too thin and are thus often bowed or malformed. Another example is Italian tanks which have smaller and far inferior sculpts to the europe 1940 version.
This is my favourite Axis and Allies version regardless and I have swapped out all the pieces with better sculpts from other version. Its probably cost me a fortune in potential re sales but I don’t care.

Playing again this weekend.  I’ll take some pictures of the board setup.  I have downloaded and printed a 39"x119" double map from Imperious Leaders map selection.  It’s frickin’ huge.

Or you can just download the rulebook from the WOTC site, grab extra units (from other or older games), paint them to match, print a map out created by Imperious Leader and you should be on your way.

This is what I did any way.  Although I went as far as to recreate the Combat board, IPC chart and National Objective/Setup Charts.

Wow… I remember when this poll came out.

BUMP

can we possibly sticky this, as it is helpful?

@Crazy:

Can’t wait to see it.

Do you mean you haven’t seen ‘This is Spinal tap’ ? :-o

Or you can’t wait to see the game ? :-D

Personally I hope they keep the same rules… randomizing casualties will take a lot of tactics away from the game.
