    • RE: Question regarding Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition

      150 $ !!! Are you crazy? That would be like a Ferrari… only for the elite. Those that can spend 150 $ in a game represent about 5% or LESS in the Axis & Allies consumers. Such price would NEVER bring profit… Thats why you dont see many people playing The WWII Game…

      Avalon Hill wants profit and makes games for the general war gamer public, even at 100$ might be too much, they will only “double” the plastic pieces, and you know what they say: The more you buy, the less you pay… so Why should this game be 100$, more than double price of general Axis & Allies games?

      Another possibility is that this game is ONLY anniversary edition with limited numbers, as revised was launched in 2004 and cant be considered OLD in 4 years… if not, expect to see another Super ReRevised Deluxe Edition in 2012 or sooner… you are paying for it… not me for sure.

      Also, I hope not to see 100$ = 100€ or 69$ = 69€…

      Nice finding…but is this for real?

      I have to say this cover looks a little strange to me…looks more like the Milton Bradley cover than the recent Axis & Allies covers… Would like to read Larry’s comments on this one…

    • RE: A&A Deluxe Edition

      On one hand I dont understand AH’s policy about releasing details of the games almost on the dead line… but on the other hand… think about it: If you knew EVERYTHING about this game like 7 months earlier… what diference would it make??? You could still dream on about the game… the game release is 23 October 2008… you wont be able to paly it till then.

      Sooooo…whats the diference between knowing everything about the game and not knowing? Its the same… You can only dream about it… you’ll be able to play it only after 23 October.

      Bottom line? RELAX… and live life!  :roll:

      Better yet, Chinese player only receives IPCs from territories they have a military presence to simulate the civil war. They must be separated from the US (so that US dont collect their income) BUT they cannot be a stand alone player as they cannot do much…

      China as a stand alone player??? It would make more sense to give Vichy France or Canada or Australia a chance… China could only raise poorly equiped infantry units… Only with the US and British equipment they were able to create sa few decent divisions.

      Besides, how fun it would be for a Chinese player to just build infantry units after infantry units? You want them to built fighters? tanks? artillery? lololol Thats really very historical…

      @Bunnies:

      Axis and Allies Revised already requires 6+ hours to play.

      But you still play it… Chess is as simple as it gets and you can take hours to finish a game… You expect to conquer the world in 2 hours? Play Risk…  :evil:

      @Craig:

      @Imperious:

      Kreighund:

      what more do you know??? you must tell us all of this!

      A few of us know a bit about it, right Krieghund? :wink:

      But I haven’t talked with Larry for a couple of months, so I don’t have a good feel as to where the process is at this time.

      I would assume that Larry and AH/WotC/Hasbro will start putting out tidbits and crumbs concerning the game soon.

      Craig

      … What “can” you tell us more?

      But beware… “Individuals who may be considered a risk … based on loose conversation or publishing information after being ‘read-in’ to or ‘read-out’ of a special access program, are sometimes visited by ‘men in suits,’ … can bring a tremendous amount of pressure to conform to the terms of the signed disclosure restriction statement…”

    • RE: Clairfy: Deploy cost, Determine Island Possession

      I have a question regarding the movement phase. The first units to do so are the transports and I read “Load and Move Transports”. I suppose I also can move first and then load them…right?

      Houston…we have a problem…

      Ok…the map is compete! Finally!  BUT…
      I saved the file as psd first without layers and…its 1,24 Gb… Then I tried saving as other extensions and could only save as .tiff. The problem is it didnt compress much as its still a 925 Mb file…

      I cant save as .ai, the program I use doesnt have such extensions. The same with .png as the computer freezes while attempting…

      Any ideas?

      The map ain’t done yet. For now the file is too big. The dots are just details, they represent cities or town in the railroad line. I guess its those dots you mean…

      @tekkyy:

      The more detailed map showed better.
      I was wondering why are the islands represented by blobs.
      Now I see it. Its actually the border of the island groups.

      Where did you get the base map?
      Its very detailed.

      Are you using a vector program?

      The Islands need to be represented that way, because many are so small but part of a bigger group of islands.

      The map I have for some years, only now I have a nice computer to work this out.

      As to France and China they are 2 different blues, the are quite distinctive.
