cheapest price for it. if you order two… no shipping charge
-
Mid October I’m supposed to get a sample copy for review. Or so I’m told.
Don’t be jealous, it’s only fair, this site drives at least 30 unit sales of A&A games per month from the Amazon links. :wink:
-
If the game comes out in September why aren’t you getting a review copy in say two weeks or by labor day? :|
Well it is at least cool that they offered. The least they could do I think. 360 sets a year is no small thing.
I scrutinized the pic as well and agree on the subs. I couldn’t tell if setup was on the map but have no reason to think it wouldn’t be.
I’m jazzed.
-
The game comes out on Nov. 16, not September.
-
When did it get moved back? I guess that would explain the no news yet thing. All info so far has been September.
[Edit] It says it in the new article which I guess I didn’t read very closely as I was looking at the pics. :oops:
-
Actually, I just noticed last night that the release date was left out so I added it. You didn’t miss it the first time because it wasn’t there.
-
Cool. I’m only partially losing my mind. Any word on why the delay?
-
Is there new information out of Gen con on the new game?
-
no nothing. they were too busy with fantasy games again.
-
I guess it is another funagain press release for us. :x
Biggest game convention on the continent and we don’t get a peep out of 'em. I guess they think since we will buy it anyway they don’t have to bother. :x
Doesn’t grow the game though. I guess we’ll have to wait for Djensen to get his review set and fill us in.

Yea i really think they care more about selling games than AH. AH is a sick joke. Hopefully they will get rid of the rotten yoke thats WOTC.
If i was in charge id fire everybody at WOTC and have them tried for war crimes against gamers.

I am not sure that I would say funagain cares more about selling games than AH. I have been trying to get a letter from the funagain people clearing up the copyright question of Eagle Games “War: Age of Imperialism” for close to six months now, with zero success. I want to put that game back into production, and then use that as a springboard to do additional games. However, the WOTC people could do far better at marketing the board games than they do. The problem is that their original background is the Magic Card Game, which is not really good training for board games. With card games, you just keep cranking out new cards. I suspect that is why they are doing okay with War at Sea, as the concept of collectable miniatures is similar to collectable cards.
-
They should have made the plastic pieces from original A&A games collectable too.
Imagine you could buy Tigers, me 262, trucks and Matildas to use when you play A&A Revised -
well… adlertag… id keep looking for that proverbial funagain games release if you want to get any new pieces. They know more about whats coming out than the companies that make these products. I think Funagain should be reporting the daily news on CNN during off hours but thats another story.

Have you guys seen this picture from Gen Con!

Looks like the setup is on the board like the last two games. I don’t think the airbase strips are there though. They must go in the dotted lines when you build them. There are no supply chips in this mockup either. I also see no cruisers curiously. It doesn’t look like they have all the elements of the game together here. Very cool though. Who wouldn’t want the super big mockup board with no creases to use for play?

the white boxes are the airstrips arn’t they?
-
I believe that airstrips are actual plastic pieces. You put them in the dotted lines when you build them.

I guess cardboard tokens, in concrete-grey

guys these airstrips are found in the other picture on BBG. look closely…its cardboard.
AH doesn’t make anything made of plastic if they can avoid it unless its Avalon Hills Nexus Woops ( where money is no object for mediocrity)… it was hard enough just to get a new plastic cruiser unit. And i bet some bloke probably considered telling Larry Harris… " do you think we can just get away from it and use one of the other battleship pieces from revised as the new cruiser piece?"
