Thank you all for the clarification!
A&A 1942 review with pics at BGG
-
This is the 25’th Anniversary edition, and it comes without Reasearch nor National Advantages
…and a real ugly China
-
It also come without money, paper & pencils, or any other way to keep track of your money.
-
“For example, the other A&A games have something called research and development found in them. This game completely removes that step. It no longer exists. This simplifies the game down more to it’s core feel, that of a WWII period grand strategic type game.”
No more tech, :mrgreen: :lol: 8-) :-D

even if you don’t use the paper money, I think that kind of screams “cheap”

There are no new TTs which is different from revised, but there are new rules as already have been revealed.

Just like the confirmed facts thread says…. hmmm how did that happen?
-
Everything seems like AA42 is the Revised map, but with different art/graphics, and most of the rules from AA50.
-
… and the sculpts - as far as they are identifiable - seem to be similar - if not the same - to those of AA50.

You bribed the chimps at WOTC ?

It’s an optional rule, just like in AA50.

They are not the same. Most of the pieces are represented by the same model, but they are new sculpts of them.
-
USA, Uk and Russia still share the same old artillery sculpt.
And Russia got new sculpts of destroyer, cruiser and battleship, pieces that will never be used.
Go figure
-
Hi Krieg. Are they the same size ?
-
More or less. I haven’t received my copy of the game yet, so I can only go by photos of them that I’ve seen.
-
They look exactly the same pieces as AA50 except German CA, Soviet BB, US fighter, and 1-2 others.
My god i wish they redid the German 88. Its too skinny. I would prefer the square shield added to give it less toothpick feel.
-
I think i will repaint the Soviet Battleships orange and make them Japanese battleships. They look like 1916-1920 UK battlecruisers which latter became the backbone of the Imperial Japanese navy battleship fleet. Then you just take the Yamato’s and turn them into 3 hit dreadnoughts at 5-5 ( limit 1-2). I am sick of that Yamato thing, when japan only made 2 of these and the other 16 battleships looked like the Kongo.
-
Why re-sculpt the pieces and make most of them virtually identical? Where are my tiger tanks and mustang fighters?
Seems like a wasted opportunity to me.
If they wanted to cut out the money why not use the collect income at start of turn idea that most of us favour anyway?
Same old map, same problems (you know the ones).
Pile everything into Moscow/Caucasus ASAP. JTDTM; are there enough orange tanks this time?
Not sure there’s anything for me here, even at this price.
Edit: Ho for the return of Rio de Oro! A territory that doesn’t have a single reason to exist on this map, as it cannot be entered and affects no borders. And is in entirely the wrong place anyway.
Back to square one for the map designers. Have they ever even seen a map of the world?
