It is a Deluxe edition with many additional player’s aid like paper money.
Check on youtube, you can compare the unboxing of both 1942.2 and AA50 (Anniversary reprint.)

@huntdax:

I have the 15 yr old PC game by Hasbro Interactive.  I am having trouble with the graphics to play the game.  The game is made for WIN95/98 while my PC runs Win7.  What do I need to do to change in my settings for this to work.  Much appreciated.

Right click on the EXE file for the program (AandA.exe?)… in Win7 you’ll get options to enable windows compatibility mode, and several toggle switches.  Experiment a bit till you get something that works, you can use Win95 mode, Win98 mode, etc, etc… there’s also some other options, I forget what they are, but I had a very old Win95 game called Pacific General that just would not run under Win7 until I set it to Win95 mode and checked all the boxes, finally it ran as it should run in Win7 just like old Win95 days.

Give it a try.

Imperious Leader is right.  The rules of A&A have evolved over the years, but each game was designed to work with the rules that existed at the time.  You can always experiment with using the new rules on older games, but the result may not be balanced properly.

Thank you.

Generaly you can select casualties for your opponent (take infantry before artillery, artillery before tanks …)

If there is a question (attacking sub gets 1 hit on a defending transport and a sub), then save the game when it is your opponents turn to select casualties, exit the game, and mail the saved game file to your opponent (this works better in 0.8.2 than earlier versions).  Your opponent can open the saved game, select casualties, and continue the battle.

Which one should I buy and what is the difference in the 2? Is Iron Blitz a release to fix bugs and be a better game, or is it just and expansion to include ‘marines’ & ‘destroyers’ etc.?

Appearantly you can’t buy Iron Blitz anymore, but you can still get the original A&A just about anywhere fairly cheap.

yeah, destroyers can fire at planes but subs can’t. destroyers also get the “no subs first strinke” thing like in europe and pacific
