yeah, its wrong forum all right

@oztea:

they will relese AA50th aniversery after europe in 2011-12

it will be dubbed “Axis and Allies: Advanced” or something like that

with all the new stuff, and basicly a AA50 board with a 2 territory australia and mech and tacs and some other stuff, ports and ABs maybe

$149.99 USD

they arent making another theatre game anytime soon……

Maybe it will be short of set up pieces like AAP1940. And the set up and rule book will be incorrect like AAP1940. And no IPCs or reference cards like AAP1940.

I went to my local Game Shoppe the other day to order Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear and the owner of the store said he is not so sure that AAP1940 is a limited run anymore. He said he was talking to the sales rep and the rep indicated that it will be around for awhile. I wonder if the game is not selling due to the issues of limited pieces and set up errors and other things that are mentioned in the forum? There are still 2 copies available for sale and he hasn’t sold one since I picked mine up when it was released.

I think AAE1940 will be the last AA game that I buy. I feel really let down by AAP1940 after the previous games have been of such high quality. The other games that I play, Memoir '44 and Conflict of Heroes have much better quality components and I think better game play.

Dont give sup Skinny…i have a feeling Avalon hill is going to make some great strides in the future with A&A

I just sent WotC another email asking for more Japanese tac bombers since another thread has people reporting that they received some in the mail yesterday. If I do not receive any I will be done with Axis and Allies after AAE1940 comes out.

Here is the response that I received from WotC:

The units you see that were sent out in the forums were for for orders that occurred before Game Support had received the correct piece count for the game. So, unfortunately we cannot provide you extra pieces for the game. We do have a limited amount of replacement pieces, but those are for games that are defective, which include having broken or misshapen pieces, or if a game is missing pieces that are supposed to be in the box.

We do appreciate your feedback regarding the number of pieces provided in the game and have passed the comments on to the game designers.

Thank You

Here is the response that I sent WotC:

Thank you for the quick reply. Axis and Allies Europe 1940 will be the last of the games that I will purchase from your company. I find it very unfortunate that a game calls for 10 tactical bombers for set up and only 6 are included. I will be buying games from Days of Wonder and Academy Games from now on. I have never had this poor of customer service or have bought such a shoddy produced game in all my years of buying board games. This is a shame.

Thanks,

Happy New Year! I would love to help you out in acquiring your copy of AAP40. I just dug up my 1st edition A&A MB from my parent’s place, and realised how far this game has changed over 20yrs ago. I will try sending you a pm so we can arrange info for purchase of game.

Welcome Iwo Jima Joe
+1 for your first posting!

page 24 of the AAP40 rulebook
under Mechanized Infantry
“A mechanized infantry unit must normally stop when it enters an enemy controlled territory.  However, when moving along with a tank, it can enter an unoccupied enemy controlled territory as the first part of a two-space move that can end in a friendly or hostile territory.”

The wording ‘when moving along with a tank’, ‘must normally stop’, and ‘as the first part of a two-space move’ would mean an answer of –must come from the same territroy-- to your question above.
