Allegedly aa42 released

Thank you so much! I looked at that thread and that link yesterday but my browser must have been being picky. It works now! Again thanks :-D

Thanks thats the way I’ve been playing, I just wanted to be sure.

This would be interesting to play out. Something would have to be done with the UK navy off Australia or else they could just take it. Maybe putting two inf on the island would be a deterrent. I imagine it would fall to America whenever they felt like taking it out, since they can outspend JP by 12 ipcs. If Japan sends all it’s navy there then Russia and UK are laughing. It would be nice to have more options in the Pacific but I still think it’s not enough to threaten America and would only distract Japan.

I think AE is superior in their details  :-)
But a lot of AE ship-bottoms (?) was uneven.

I have painted both revised and AE and when I look at ´42 they all
seem blurred.

Example;
the US bomber has some doors/hatches/whatever just behind the wings
and it is clear to see in AE but ´42 it is just a blur on the sides.

I don´t know if Capt.Kiwi bought ´42 and is reading this. Then I would like his opinion.
Or anyone else who has painted  :-)

It is not the end of the world I just don´t understand why.

My source also says that August 18 is the date. I was also told that review copies would not be available until next week but I already got scooped on the photos and details of the game.

That’s okay, I guess, my review won’t go on and on and on about how broken and unplayable the game is without money.

@squirecam:

News from Greg Smorey…

Guys,

I have some possibly good news for GEN CON on the heels of the Triple A shutdown…

I have just been informed that WotC will have a lot of 25 AA42 games at GEN CON
and I will be getting 6 copies myself. Now, I just talked to my
supporter and he seemed pretty confident in that it will officially hit
the shelves on August 18. So, he doesn’t see a reason why 42 shouldn’t
be out at GEN CON…

What ever it is worth…

@mojo:

is this a differnt game than the aa50 anniverisary edition.  the aa50 game i bought came with 41 & 42 versions.

It’s a revision to the revised or re-revised!  New sculpts, new units, new map!

and if aa42 were aa50-where japan does often get pretty large, then that might not be such a big issue…but '42 is supposedly to be more like AAR, where japan wasn’t exactly godzilla running amuck…

to judge the actual quality of the components in deciding which to play based on that, we have to wait for the release.

variety…perhaps, speed of play…maybe, can’t get AA50…sure

…one can drink too much so as to turn off one’s date as they get vomited upon…
