@TG:
For “the record,” I stated my friend owns a physical copy of the game. Second, as this topic has nothing to do with AA50 but instead a new title in the series, I don’t think it’s fair to consider this “trolling the AA50” board, as this isn’t the rightful place for this topic anyway.
You stated AA:50 is worth neither your money nor your time. Yet you still follow this board. That by definition is trolling. The fact that this thread does not belong in this board is irrelevant.
Where did I say it is not worth my time? Being not worth my money, yes, but time, no. I’d be happy to play any Axis and Allies title, except maybe D-Day, as every game plays exactly the same, except for the die rolls. So if I did say it was not worth my time (which I don’t believe I did), that was an error on my part.
Also here is the definition of trolling, for you:
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]
UNFORTUNATELY, I did provoke an “emotional response” but that was hardly my intent.
Simply lurking a forum for something I do not own to read up on discussion is not, by definition, trolling. Nor is posting an on-topic reply on a thread that happens to be, in itself, off-topic.
Now, look, I understand you are somehow upset that I prefer to spend my money in a different way than you do, but I would really prefer if we could stop this bickering and get the thread back on topic. :-D

Im always excited to see another AAA out there, but I agree that AAE needs a revision and they should have just printed more copies of AA50.
I totally agree. They should print a new version of A&A Europe with the cruiser units and the rules from A&A 50 Anniversary, and an Italian player. That would fix the issues with the present game, wich many claim to be broken.
But I do belive that the reason WOTC release a global game first, is the fact that more people are playing Revised than Europe. And there are no doubt whatsoever that the Anniversary rules are far superior to the Revised rules, so the Revised need to be revised again.
Now since Greg Leeds is the new boss in WOTC, and since he is a real bussines-man he will try harder to make money even if we are in the middle of a depression, he will give us a new A&A game every 4 month. In august we get A&A 1942. In january 2010 we get A&A Europe revised, and in august 2010 we get A&A Stalingrad, and in january 2011 we get A&A North Africa, and in august 2011 we get A&A the Great War 1914-1918. This is what both I and IL belive in. This is our religion.
But, what about a revised Pacific??? Do you think such a game will never exist? :? That would benefit far more from the new sea rules than Europe would. I’m not sure I follow why revised Europe is in so much more demand than Pacific. I mean, Europe is completely broken as the strategy every n00b would want to try first as Germany (LOL TANKS) is practically unbeatable, but the Japan India Crush in Pacific is equally ridiculous IMO. Of course, the difference would be that Japan has alternative paths to victory in Pacific, while Germany either tank rushes or dies.
If they could make a Europe where tank rush wasn’t broken, I would be very impressed though. Would be quite a game… I just can’t imagine how it’s possible.
