Go find a friend in Australia who is willing to look through old game lots over there. Or, search eBay on the regular. Other than that, I don’t know how or where.

I like this, but is there a way to adapt this to the newer editions? Thank you!

@cernel best interview ever

Yes I received my copy Friday. I also have not had a chance to count the pieces, but the components look good and I’m thrilled to finally have a copy of this version of the game.

The early reviews stating the original printing didn’t have enough pieces to set up the first turn really turned me off, so I’m even more glad to see Renegade has taken steps to address that complaint rather than just reissuing it as it was, which they almost certainly could have done and still expected to see sales based on the prices used copies of 1914 were going for.

Most of all I’m thrilled to see that my fears of this and Anniversary never being printed again were not well founded.

There are only enough (double sided) control markers for the islands included in the game. However, your solution would work if you have another A&A game that you could get control markers from.

Not much worse than a creased matt.
Mt first try would be to warm the fold with a hair dryer/heat gun, depending how much heat the vinyl can handle. May help you move the material back into the correct position.
Luck.

Yup, cant find on there either

I’ve noticed that the Wikipedia page for this game has the wrong game for its image! And yet from what I can tell everything else is correct.

Now I don’t actually own a copy of the game to be able to fix it but if anyone else wants to you can change it.

They may reprint it again, preserving all the errors and the illogicially ordered setup charts.

Comp for WW1 is $350-600 now.

@JustLuthor I have the True Neutral Lid done (All true neutrals and mongolia). I’ll work on the other one soon. Let me know if you need the sides of the box too. The colors may not be fully match with out of game box if printed out.

@Playing-Kid said in Ottomans in 1940:

I really like anything that changes the map, (for example: I really like Global War 1936’s Fascist Croatia Expansion) so I thought that it would be fun if I just slowly over time made a bunch of just random countries, real, fake, right time, wrong time, to just add in.

This is my first one and I think that the section turned out good so I think I shall make more.

Well then, all right. It certainly looks interesting on the map, there in white.

@jagdpanther69 I do not know of any such rules. I’ve looked and looked. I have never found anything. I’m planning to gin some up in the new year, but they would be strictly house rules.

If you do find anything, please let me know.

The cruiser and generic AAA units in the first printing of Guadalcanal similarly got colour-switched. It made no difference for the AAA sculpts, since they were a generic common design, but in the case of the other unit the game had a Japanese-orange American-design Portland-class cruiser and an American-green Japanese-design Takao-class cruiser.

It’s too bad that the colour-switched green German and grey American infantry units are rare production errors, and thus aren’t widely available: they would be perfect for use in A&A Battle of the Bulge as house-ruled special units representing Otto Skorzeny’s disguised infiltration units.

Indeed that link points to an unrelated old document referring to the 1999 edition.

When on the AH-site better visit this place for the latest rules and FAQ:
https://avalonhill.wizards.com/rules

You will find the correct link to the 1940 2nd ed. FAQ there:

(Still not the latest version, that should be of November 2014, but you can go with it.)
