Normandy Invasion was in first, but in the end could only muster fourth place at the Kentucky Derby.  The owners of said horse had feelings very similar to those of us who ever dare to play Allies in G40.  We, too, always feel like we could have won but instead finish in fourth place.  Just sayin.  ;)

@Cow:

I consider AA50 to be old.  I am not sure why we making comparisons to two older boards, revised and aa50.

I am talking about global, 1942, and 1941. Have you seen the allies in those boards? They are boring.

Good thing I haven’t taken the bait and bought those games  :evil:

The discussions for that version are under “Axis and Allies”, and covers both the ORIGINAL version, 2nd Edition (that you have) and 3rd Edition (with rule modifications from the 1998 Hasbro CD)
