Your “rare” cruiser is from the 1941 edition.

I’m selling this lot on eBay, but will gladly take it down immediately and sell to any forum member. Shoot me a pm!

Also, if you want to offer less than the asking price, feel free! I’ll accept any offer that I view as reasonable.

Also, feel free to shoot me an offer via eBay if you prefer to buy it that way.

I couldn’t decide on a price, took tons of photos and decided eBay was the best locale.

If you want, PM me and I’ll forward a link.

I got home and realized I had sold some of the boards from earlier games, so I revised my listing. Trying to figure out a price as we speak!

I’m selling my massive lot of games of pieces (don’t worry, I’m keeping some  :-D)

I’ll catalog tonight, but for now this is what I think have (subject to minor variations - please note that I don’t have the original boxes due to storage capacity but everything is in MINT condition. Pieces are at the bottom!

A&A 1942 2nd Ed board, rules
A&A 1941 board, rules
A&A Europe 1940 board, rules
A&A Pacific 1940 board, rules

PIECES!!! All of the above pieces, and then some. I have THOUSANDS of pieces, in a box roughly the size of a paper box. Included are A&A Anniversary Italians (tanks!) and Red Japanese from the original Pacific. Creme British from D-Day and Revised, and TONS more. I will also include some HBG Axis minors pieces as well (black). You will NEVER run out of pieces in any A&A game again. Ever. I don’t even want to guess how many pieces there are, but my conservative estimate is at least 5-6000.

I will not break this lot. I honestly have no idea what to list this at, any offer must be reasonable as this is pretty much everything you need to play every game in the A&A series, as well as future versions.

Offer if you’d like, I’m still counting the pieces in order to figure out how much to charge.

Thanks! No worries, you haven’t been scooped at all. I’m waiting eagerly for shots of the new units, specifically the German artillery.

I’m only putting this up because I’ve done business several times with the person who owns this, and he was awesome each time.

Our very own member, coachofmany, has launched his own Axis & Allies store, www.historicalboardgaming.com.

His store sells individual A&A pieces, custom control markers, the most amazing production certificates around, as well as several sets of custom designed plastic piece sets in the same scale and colors as OOB pieces! Take a look around, and be sure that these are top quality products!

@spc71:

Are the US colors dark green or olive drab? I was going to get some supplement pieces from Historical board gaming and wanted to know the right color for the US units. Really looking foward to this and the other reprints later this year.

OOB A&A US units are always Olive Drab.

I’ll be in Europe later this month, I’ll try to snag a copy.

1942 was carried at multiple Targets for about a year. I know, because when they went on clearance last year I bought half a dozen copies in multiple locations.

Want to identify the carrier? Have at it… a good place to start is here:

Again, it’s $20 - which is approximately a couple meals at McDonalds.

For that, you get a good quality board, and some great pieces to supplement the rest of your A&A games. Do what I do, and store your pieces together (at least all the post 2004 games, when A&A standardized colors. I tried to convince people a few years back that colors wouldn’t change in the foreseeable future, but no one listened…) I have Italian tanks from Anniversary on the same board as Hellcats from Guadalcanal, and they all provide a little extra realism. Obviously (no bias here!  :wink: I have a ton of HBG pieces on the board that totally rock it), but to complain about this game at this price point is foolish.

Would you rather have preferred a re-run of the 1942 1st edition pieces, minus artillery? I wouldn’t…

@questioneer:

Not crazy about the new molds- all countries are the same, so I will not be buying it for the new molds which I thought I would- just for the play.

Still, we get 16 new molds, and some of them are very much needed (more ships, another tank for Russia besides T-34, a late war German FW-190, Kongo, etc). They are pretty high quality in general, you can just junk the non-country accurate pieces (US/UK IS-2s, etc)

Oh, I definitely agree about supporting your local store. Just pre-ordered 1941 for $28 at my local store a couple hours ago, actually.

I’m just posting cheaper prices to avert the wave of complaints from people posting about “A&A 1942 2nd is not worth the $60 I paid” when they bought it at their local game store.

It goes both ways, either you pay higher prices at your local store to support them (which I do) or you buy it cheaper online. But don’t intentionally pay higher prices and then complain about the value per dollar.

(None of the above is intended at cromwell_dude - he’s a great guy in my book)

For $20, I think 16 new molds is a bargain.

Also, the new 1942 will be $45 or so, not $60. Order it here:

Remember inflation and prices. When Axis & Allies was selling back in the mid-late 1990’s it was a $40 game. Gas was $1.10, a stamp was $0.32, and a dozen eggs were about $1.16

Prices have gone up for everything, and yet we are still getting quality games for a decent price.

I called CoolStuffInc and talked to the manager, letting him know A&A was coming out with two new games. He said he was going to follow up, and here is the result!

IL,

I hope you mean you ordered 1941, not 1942.

Funagain is selling the older version of 1942 right now, and the pre-order of 1941.

Oh I agree with you - Florida boy here, he is one of the top 5 Generals/Commanders/Leaders in history.

Just not a Conqueror. That is a completely different term.

Empireman, Hannibal belongs on your list.

I think Pyrrhus of Epirus should belong on these lists as well. Hannibal himself rated him the second best general in antiquity, behind Alexander…

@ABWorsham:

Two of my top conquerers foughts wars in which they had no chance to win.

I like your list, AB - however, Lee is not a conqueror. However, he is definitely one of history’s top 10 commanders, in my opinion.

Conqueror - someone who invaded another country/nation and defeated them (Alexander is the classic textbook example).

Rommel is a gray area (France 1940) and Lee is not a conqueror, but they are some of history’s best leaders. I would rank Lee in the top 8, personally.
