Using original rules, Germany has no real need for AA guns, especially with the 3 it already starts with. Russia will only have 2 planes for a while, since they will only be able to afford ground troops for the longest time. If it gets to the point where the Allies are attacking Berlin, Rome, or Paris the AA gun is irrelevant. I think the best is to keep one in Germany, one in either Southern or Western Europe (it can move around depending on the situation), and one out somewhere on the Eastern Front.
Im a new AA player and wondering if i should buy AA europe or AA1942 in august?

1,000 % AA42
AAE is broken and outdated ideas. Id expect a new version to appear in a few years

ya just found out AAE was made in 1999.
i guess i’ll just have to wait a few months for the new edition.
lame… no axis and allies for me :(
just when i was getting interested in the game. -
just buy any of them. they are all fun, and are “broken” only to those people that have played them a lot. when i first got AAE, i thought it was great. i never play it now, but it was lots of fun. and it will give you the fix you need till aa42 comes out.

just when i was getting interested in the game.Play Revised online until then 8-) 8-)
A&A is kind of interesting as it scales very well from 2-4 players. 5 player games aren’t as good though, IMO.

lol i looked at the side bar and got excited: Axis & Allies Revised $34.99*
i click on it and it sends me to amazon selling the game for $99 -.-
by the way 401gamers (google it) has all the games and really cheap AA50 for 99$, and they have some 10% discount.

Isn’t AA42 just a revision of Revised?
If I was gonna buy one (besides Revised) I’d probably try for Anniversary…but I understand that was limited edition so the price just keeps going up.
Idk much about AA:Europe but AA:Pacific is a neat game.

The '42 edition will be a world war game with the newest rule-set from the evolution of all the AA games.
AAE is going to be the European theater of the war, so the scope of the game may be deciding issue.
that being said, if you might like AA at all you’ll probably enjoy either of them or the others, each has it’s own unique spin.
If you can afford it, I’d say get AAE and then expand into '42 in the fall.*-balance for any of the games is in the eye of the beholder. Because countries do not start with the same income or units the game is not balanced. But their opportunities to win bring the balance into reality and the dice rolls help to balance it. Unless you plan to start playing tourneys you probably need not listen to these conversations.
*-the questions about one or any of the games being broken are really not worth getting caught up in either, there was a thought that AAE was broken for years but appears that people just didnt’ spend the time coming up with strategies. Turns out the counter to it being broken was quite simple.
If you hang out on any site about AA long enough you will find people complaining about everyone of the games being broken and just because someone says it, doesn’t mean you’ll hate it.
*i prefer to play face-to-face; just more fun to be in the room with friends playing, but between those times online will work too.

on a side note, i just searched ebay and found several revised, ranging from $21.50 (current bid) to 32.50 (buy it now) with more than 10 available.

I don’t like AAE. I would go for AA42, I think it will be great, taking the best from AA50, but without Italy.
-
just played AAE last night. still like it. if you want to try a game that isnt “broken” give AAP a spin.
-
I don’t like AAE.
Why ? Because Sweden is neutral ? It hurts to remember that in Norway we got only one Quisling, but Sweden got 7 millions quislings ?

LOL!!! :-D
