@PiecesAndParts said in A&A Pacific different box variations.:
I didn’t find a pic of it in my google search but I once saw A&A Classic with French writing on the box for sale on ebay from a Canadian seller.
Of the pictures you posted, the only one I consider plausible is the French language edition of revised. I only find that plausible because I have also seen those French language versions of A&A Classic. I have never actually seen any boxes of A&A Revised in any language but English.
Krieghund knows what of he’s talking about. I know for a fact that the “1942” cover for A&A: AE 50 was a promo picture and that only “1941” covers were ever released. If he says they didn’t make “385” covers for A&A Pacific, I would take him at his word any day.
To me, it sounds like your collection is about as complete as mine, i.e. only missing a copy of the Jedko version of the NGD Axis & Allies.
The only thing I would ask about your collection would be to ask if you have all of the mistakes made across certain batches of games in manufacturing of those game:
- A&A Classic, batches of US infantry pieces molded in German grey and in the same games batches of German infantry pieces molded in US olive green;
- A&A Guadalcanal, batches of US cruiser pieces molded in Japanese burnt orange and in the same batch of games batches of Japanese cruiser pieces molded in US olive green;
- A&A Anniversary Edition, first printing, a batch of some of the British tanks molded in Italian brown and included as Italian tanks.
I hope that helps you out (or, gives you something else to shoot for).
