@Panther Thanks for the speedy answer… feels like a strategy that might make me unpopular but if it’s legitimate then I suppose it’s fair game.
Definitive List of Components
-
Guess Japan just never got around to drive to Moscow in AA50!
Perhaps too busy elsewhere.!! :?
-
I don’t believe the playtesters have any influence on the no. of pieces they put in the box.
IMHO, they finally did listen a bit because there are way more infantry and armor pieces for each country than before. Why they only included 8 armor for Japan is beyond me, but that has to do with the fact that the guy who makes the calls about the no. of pieces is not an A&A player but a business man.
And of course the amount of Russian navy is ridiculous compared to Italian, so we’ll probably end up using Russian pieces for the Italian navy if needed. :-P
-
To tell the truth it is much better than I expected. I have seen worse. Overall the components are sufficient I think. I like the numbers of bombers too. The only problems I anticipate are with the:
-Italian Cruisers
-Japanese Armour
-Chips
Of course the number of Russian Naval units is ridiculous (although you need some for the rookies), but better too much than too little. -
My playtest group never had any trouble with the number of unit pieces available.
-
I’m going to buy AA50 just so I can have a battle between those pieces and my 2nd ed pieces. Now AA50 will greately out number them but my 2nd ed pieces are battle tested. It should be an epic struggle.
:mrgreen:

Japan only had 6 armor in revised… 8 is better than 6 at least… !

Sure 8 is better than 6. But don’t forget you now got more money to spend and more ground to cover. So it is probably not enough.
-
The soviets should not even have a navy.
At max:
1 BB
1CV
1CA
2DD
3SS
3APthe extra go to italy or japan or usa

I didnt get my set up cards!!!1 :x :x :x :x
-
well they are nice and thick. top quality. not to worry.
-
Well I’m gonna use all my revised pieces for AA50. And the chips as well, they really never give you enough.
But for the Italian cruisers I was thinking of using the Jap cruisers from Gaudalcanal. Because I have the American cruisers in Jap orange, and those might do in a pinch for Italian cruisers.
Maybe depending on house rules there will be a option for a tactical bomber unit……Stukas and other fighter models that have been modified could be used. Maybe.

Hmm… add a little paint and maybe those miscolored cruisers will have some use after all…
