This may be off subject, but why would the chimps release the Pacific game first? Would it not make more sense to release Europe first & then Pacific? Especially when you consider the fact that this is the 70th anniversary of World War II.

Excellent! I am looking forward to the future development of this project.

I just ordered my copy Warlords of Europe and I am looking forward to playing it.

@FieldMarshalGames:

Yes we have.  The first Edition run will include the following for each Nation (Italy included)

Naval Units:
Transport
Submarine
Destroyer
Cruiser
Carrier
Battleship
Task Force Marker (Similar to AAP)

Air Units:
Fighter
Bomber
Dive Bomber
Air Transport

Army Units:
Infantry (Two Sculpts each)
Armour (Two Sculpts each)
Artillery
Half Track (Priest for Commonwealth units)
Truck
Commander Unit

Other Units Bonus:
Bunker Unit
Naval Base Unit-Marker (Like AAP)
Air Base Unit-Marker (Like AAP)
Army HQ Unit-Marker

This is what we have so far….  (We also are working on a BATTLE CHEST to hold these units… This may come later)

Sounds great! I am looking forward to finding out which models are used to represent the different pieces.

Am I the only person to notice that only new sculpts in this game went to the Red fleet? This raises the obvious question as to why the morons at WOTC even bothered with new pieces. It is not like there will actually be a Red fleet of any significance in the game. Which means that these shiny new units will never, I repeat, Never see the light of day on the gameboard.

I agree that it is a wise move to wait until we see the next iteration of Axis & Allies.

Thanks guys! Here is the file as promised….

A&A_Revised.xls

Hello All,
  Craig delivered. The only problem is that I do not know how to upload the spreadsheet that I put this list on. Any suggestions?

I am a millwork delivery driver. I’m the guy who shows up with all your doors, trim, cabinets, & windows when you are building or remodeling your house. My wife thinks my truck is sexy…

Thanks for the help guys. I sent Craig a pm asking if he still has that doc. file. If he gets it to me, I will post it here so anyone can find it.

I need some help here. A friend of mine recently aquired a used copy of Revised & I was trying to help her figure out if she has all of the pieces. If someone could please post a breakdown of all the units by nation that would be a tremendous help. I will then use that info to help fill out her copy with spare units I have lying around. Thanks

I consider Europe my personal favorite in the Axis & Allies franchise. But I may be biased because it happens to be the first one I bought & it is the one that got me hooked on these games.

I congratulate you on your success. I must note though, had Sealion failed, Germany would have been screwed….

I am very excited to here of the developments in this project!! If we can get it to work, it will be the ultimate “screw you” to the plastic Nazis at Hasbro/Wizards/Avalon Hill….

(Laughs maniacally…)

When they come up with their lame response to this prodject, we will reply:

(Thick Spanish accent)
  "Pieces? Pieces!! We don’t need no stinkin’ pieces!!!

I would be content if the pieces matched the battle dice. Besides WOTC/AH already has so many variations in their national colors…Japanese in 3 colors…Germans in 4…

The German Tank in all of the newer A&A games is the Panther, not the Panzer IV

@Imperious:

Also, I have a new idea:

I want all these new pieces to be totally different pieces from AA. Twofold.

First: Avalon Hill already made the stuka and Me-109, but the stuka looks horrible

so if you have the German plane as the JU-87 Stuka or Fw-190 you create a new piece and also create the utility of having a new plane that people can use  rather than have yet another Me-109… By having a new unit to make these pieces really viable for all sorts of ideas.

The German Battleship should be the Graf Spee or Scharnhorst because we already got the Bismarck

The Japanese BB should be Kongo Class, so people can make the Yamato into a 5-5 battleship

The American BB should be the Lexington

The American fighter should be the MUstang

The German Artillery should be a PAK

The German tank should be Panzer IV or Tiger 2 or King tiger

etc… no sculpt should be an AH sculpt because your making something new and bold.

I agree with IL on most of these modifications & I have a few to add myself.

British Tank: Crusader or Churchill
British Bomber: Avro Lancaster
British Battleship: Nelson

American Tank: M3 Grant
American Artillery: M2 155mm “Long Tom” cannon
American Bomber: B-29 Superfortress
American Aircraft Carrier: Essex Class ships
American Submarine: Gato Class ships

German Tank: Pz. IV D (with short barrel 75mm gun)
German Artillery: 88mm (with anti-tank shield)
German Bomber: Heinkel 111

Also, will the pieces match the colors of the AH models?

I have a question. Other than the naval units, do we have a consensus on each nations land/air units? Are you still taking suggestions on these units Field Marshal?

I would order a complete set.

That does lead to an interesting thought though. What if Axis & Allies had command cards similar to Risk 2210? I think it might add an interesting dimension to the game….
