I guess by the responses I have read it is unanimous, Italy is better as a seperate entity mainly due to the added possibilities that it creates and the overall strategy changes it allows from both sides.
The other thing I really do like is that with 6 countries it is axis then allies turns rotated so as to not have two allied turns back to back. It is harder to double team that way.
Thank you every one for your thoughts. 8-)
AA50 reprint?

WOW…. it looks the same…you would think they would at least change the cover art a little bit. I would imagine that the units will be of the quality that will have come to expect, and not like the crappy ones in the original game.

The boxes are not precisely the same. They can be compared in the pictures over here:

Something tells me we will have to wait until a box actually appears on the shelves or on our doorsteps via the postman to be certain what it looks like and what’s in the box. Only a wizard could know for sure.

Thanks Marc. Will keep looking on Amazon here, until I See a date and price fir England. But I can’t but a second! Will suggest it to a few people I Know , though.

I saw the advertisements’ descriptions saying 4 new sculpts. Huh. Most noteworthy to me is the MSRP of $100 USD - wow! Really going after that second market with an immediate ebay buy it now list price.
4 new sculpts…maybe it means something like new infantry sculpts…would be cool if the game incorporated some of the stuff from Global like tac. bombers.
Who knows, maybe Star Destroyers are going to be a new sculpt but available only for the Storm Trooper country.

I really hope they do something about the archaic AA gun and air battle rules, in spite of their comments.

That’s odd. This…
http://wpn.wizards.com/en/products/axis-allies
…says the release date is 9/22/2017.
-
Ordered mine, very exciting! I figured either the 9/22 was a guess by someone or maybe it was an original estimated release that has changed. Or maybe, Amazon gets theirs after the initial release to give time to smaller localized game companies to get their sales in before Amazon blasts the game world wide.

T6GCON is currently ACTIVELY working with 401 games AND WotC… And, as certainly a lot of you know by now… Larry Harris is coming to T6GCON and we can confirm that Harry will sign things for the fans… He is a very approachable person.
We are still working with WoTC and 401 to make sure that we can have the Anniversary Edition available right at the convention! So stay tuned and follow YG’s YouTube channel for announcements…
